# re: Specialization

Hi DataGridGirl! Since you are so intrested in datagrids, maybe you could be intrested in an article I recently wrote. It's about binding webservice results to a datagrid (not just datasets, but custom build collections).

I agree in the need for specialization. Don't chase after every dollar. The only person that can say if you are too specialized is the customer. if you are too specialized, you will know it because the customer will not pay for that one piece.

# re: VS.NET Likes & Dislikes

Related to GridLayout, I hated this too. Right click on your project in VS.NET, goto Properties, open Common Properties, goto Designed Defaults, change Page Layout to Flow. Any new files you create within the project will now default to Flow layout. Would be better to have a global setting...

As I've said in the past, I think knowing how to do things by hand is a good thing indeed. I'm often criticized for my love of doing things in UltraEdit. I've tried TextPad, MultiEdit, and a handful of others; I always come back to UltraEdit. I mostly agree with you with the exception being code-behind; I still always do code-behinds in UltraEdit.

Yay! Another TextPad user. =) (did you know that TextPad 5.0 is going to be written (AFAIK) in C#?)

Living in VS.NET on a laptop that will only do 1024x768 (work issue, not my choice), I share your real estate pain too. Two options: Auto-hide all the windows or Shift-Alt-Enter to go into Full Screen mode.

# re: VS.NET Likes & Dislikes

Like Nino said you can unpin your windows to gain real estate. Personally I unpin all of mine. Here are some tips from Chris Sells that might make your life with VS.NET easier [0]

Also, just as an FYI, AutoEventWireup="false" by default for optimization. AutoEventWireup is less efficient than overriding the event methods in the base class or subscribing to the events. You rely on the runtime to find your Page_Load, Page_PreRender, etc methods.

# re: Datagrids Suck!

DataGrids do indeed suck, oh DataGrid girl, Mistress of Methods, High Priestess of Postbacks, Vixen of Viewstate.

I think the only thing that they're good for is the in-place editing of records. For everything else, I tend to use a repeater control so I can have _exact_ control over the html (I like valid markup... call me crazy).

Things like paging can be duplicated anyway. In fact, I think they should, because you wouldn't want to be pulling down all 5k records of data just to display 20, and as long as you're doing a custom stored proc to grab just 20, you might as well just write your own pager... they tend to lend themselves well to reuse anyway.

P.S. I liked your rant about VS.NET... you seem to have the ear of some M$FT folks... tell them to come out with a version that supports VALID HTML/XHTML. And while they're at it, how about a automatic formatting mode that _just_ does indenting, instead of destroying my markup, taking out my end slashes out of singleton elements (BR, IMG, etc.)?

# re: Datagrids Suck!

I found your blog off of http://dotnetweblogs.com/ by the way...

I would have to admit, I really don't like the Datagrid control myself. First off while being a blessing the Javascript:doPostBack becomes a pain in the arse for some applications, it would be really handy if there was a property that would be <asp:datagrid DoPostBack="true"... /> to switch the postback option of a control on / off.

I also agree with Matt's comment about not handling the html / xhtml validation too well.

Mainly because of these issues I tend to use my own paging system and handle postback all on my own. Anyways I just wanted to say I really love ASP.NET, but dislike the majority of the controls with it (especially the Datagrid.)

Anyways just my 2 cents worth. I will say that I love the ability to bind data to the grid.

# re: Datagrids Suck!

My biggest bitch is that the templating only lets you do columns and does not allow for splitting table tags up - I like the repeater better because if i want to put a table tag in the header and the row tag in the item template and table close in the footer, it lets me :)

# re: Dynamic Controls in ASP.NET

Hi
Im working with Visual Studio.NET.
Using ASP.NET/VB.NET.

I need to build form that will show each time different results (fields) in a datagrid.(I have 3 different SQL queries)
The datagrid will contain BoundColumns,HyperLinkColumns, TemplateColumns (text boxes), Validators. And a lot of hidden fields.
My questions is, because the DataGrid suppose to work each time with different fields, should I build 3 different datagrids (I have 3 types or results) or 1 dynamic datagrid?

After you answer me, if you please can send me a url that explain how to do that.

Thanks a lot!!

# re: More on Datagrids Sucking

IMO, the datagrid is great for quick side projects and admin tasks...

I recently had to write a grid like control for work. Very similar to the datagrid except it works it supports a couple of different formats (master detail), comes pre-built to sort and page (without jamming all of the extra stuff into viewstate) and can be populated by just setting a property to our custom reporting object.

The datagrid is a great example of what can be done with ASP.NET controls...you just have to implement them.

The repeater is by far the most helpful control. The entire blogging application is built off of repeater...they are everywhere :)

# re: VS.NET Likes & Dislikes

I'm a HUGE Textpad fan also. There are so many simple things that VS could learn from that program. Like block select mode, fill block and quick highlighting a word and using ctrl-f/ctrl-shift-f to jump around. I think the think that bothers me the most in VS is that if you hit ctrl-c with nothing selected, it will copy nothing and wipe your clipboard. What use could that possibly be, aside from driving you crazy.

# re: The Speedy Jeff Julian

Marcie,

Unless you posted your email address on your Web site with a request to "send all your datagrid questions to me, and I'll answer them free of charge, no matter how complicated they are", you should not feel guilty for either deleting them, or requesting that the emailer ask the question in a public forum.

If a question comes to your personal email address unsolicited, you are under no obligations to answer it, politely or not. And I don't think it's rude to direct someone to a public forum (even if they might interpret it that way) since you're providing them with the best chance to get answers not only to their current question, but to future ones as well.

I think the simplest answer is:

"Marcie doesn't scale well.

ASPAdvice/ASP.NET Forums/etc. scale much better.

Please ask your question there." :-)

Not mean or rude. Just the truth.

# re: Insulting Emails

The best way to handle this sort of thing is to respond as kindly and sympathetically as possible without backing down. For example, suppose someone insults your intelligence and education with a few well-chosen profanities. You reply that you appreciate their concern, you are doing the best you can with the abilities that you were born with and then list all of the educational activities that you've undertaken (in regards to the topic at hand, of course). The key here is to ignore the vituperation and concentrate on whatever actual content there is. Since it is almost always trivial, you can reply to it with seriousness and the triviality of their insults are obvious to almost anyone. Besides, they are looking for a fight, don't give them what they want.

Monday, May 12, 2003 10:59 PM by John Cavnar-Johnson

# re: Ok, onto some Good Stuff--V2 Datagrids!

I couldn't hold myself back when I read this post...

Theres two new sets of controls - DataBound controls like the new Grid and DataSource controls like the Sql one. With data sources being controls, theres finally room to do something intelligent - automatic binding, editing etc. And then there are parameter objects to pull values into data sources from other controls, the query string etc. at the right time. DataBound controls can talk to any DataSource control. Well, almost... but in any case no code required... just declarative markup!

Hope to share more soon ;-)

I have to agree with it not being the people charging. As for emails well that one is a big topic. Your more gentle on them than I am. If I can answer the issue right on the spot then I generally do otherwise I try to point them to a good list or two. The biggest problem I find with people sending emails for help is that they have spent no effort to actually find the answer them self. They don't know the answer and expect someone to write the code for them instead of just taking the concepts and working from there. Guess that's just a pet peve of mine. Anyway, love the site and love the blog (just found it from a link on someone elses blog).

# re: Ok, onto some Good Stuff--V2 Datagrids!

To tell the truth, I very rarely use datagrids - basically only when I need a templated column. I tend to almost exclusively use Repeaters with OnItemDataBound modification where necessary. I find that the Paging functionality for DataGrids at present is clunky - I tend to use Repeaters with T-SQL stored procedures - it's much faster and a lot more scalable. Can't wait until the V2 stuff comes around, expecially looking forward the the SQL responsive ASP.NET caching stuff which is planned.

I don't take exams at TechEd because I focus on learning as much as possible, networking and not burning out. I get pretty burned out taking exams, so the 50% discount isn't compelling for me.

I gotta get me some DataGridGirl buttons. I have three Geek Chicks at home (they don't wanna be called geeks, but the oldest codes HTML directly because "its easier than using FrontPage...").

Also, they should have a future session on blogging with .Net. I'm running Blogger and MoveableType and would run .Net if I had a road map...

# re: Differing wireless experiences.

It wasn't just the wireless network that had problems. It was frustrating to use the wired systems in the Internet Cafe as well, with big blocks of time where you couldn't get outside the conference network. DNS seemed to be a big problem yesterday afternoon (at least for me). Thankfully the wireless connection and DHCP issues seemed to go away after a couple days.

The wireless and wired networks at MEC last year in Anaheim seemed much more stable. Of course, a lot more people have portable devices now than last year, so I'm sure that didn't help.

First of all, Wonder Woman must be at LEAST 156 years old by now. Think about it man! I mean, Osteoperosis has all but calcified her skelatal structure to the point of paralysis. Even with the braclets AND the plane (no weapons) she couldn't possibly overcome the sheer tenacity of a hard-line coder.

Being a woman, DataGrid Girl has the power of birth behind her. As such, she would definitely have much more fortitude than an emasculated Gelding such as Wussy Man. Furthermore, this assumes Mr. Daddy-Day-Care actually has the time to take-off his apron and leave the kitchen (those dishes need cleaning).

Of course, this assume that Wussy Man is actually male (transgendered maybe?).

# re: Did you want to google tell everybody "Datagrids Suck!" ?

Hello here,

just to say that is mostly why I prefer Repeater control or my own derived from BaseDataList (because I don't like the <%#DataBinder....()%> that is huge when I work with custom entities).

I think the viewstate issue is only due to the proliferation of the public properties of each control instanciated within the DataGrid as well of DataBoundLiteralControls that are instanciated much times. Remember that Viewstate is used to remember every public properties of the control tree (talking about the controls in System.Web.UI namespace)

PS: I suppose that now if we type "datagrids suck!" in google, this post is ranked #1 ;)

PPS: there is an option in vs.net to allow the html editor to not destroy your markup every time you switch in design mode, there is even an option 'Lower case' for attribute and element names, I can tell it REALLY worth the setting!

Why are people suddenly so stubborn about typing text all day? If you look at how many typo's you make in a day, you can only come to the conclusion that it would be great if you could have another method of creating sourcecode, or better: telling the computer what to do, because sourcecode is just another state of functionality. Developers shouldn't think in sourcecode, but in functionality, then it will be clear that code generators eventually will evolve in generators of ready-to-roll executable programs.

I was wondering if you have looked at the grids from ComponentOne and Infragistics and what you thought of them. Specficially, which features you feel makes the GridEx a better grid. I have used the ComponentOne FlexGrid since VB6 and have really liked although there .NET version seems a bit ported. The Infragistics Grid does not have support for unbound mode so it's a loser until they fix that. I'm curious just because I have looked into them all and I find that ComponentOne offers the most wide ranging support of features that I need although maybe not all of the GUI look and feel that Janus does.

I just take all the tests while they are in beta, usually easy if you are already a certified MCSD, which makes it free and then you are the first one certified too!

# re: Women Speakers

Well, marcie, upon thinking about this post, I feel better about being one of the older folks at an event like the one at Microsoft a couple of weeks ago. Sure enough, while I might have been outnumbered by much younger people, you, Dana, Terri and Rachel were at least as outnumbered by males.

I wonder why that is? There is a thread on a newsgroup I am on about whether you ever feel like a fake - that is, inadequate, like folks will find you out as an imposter at the techical area you are supposed to be an expert. Someone posted this on that thread:

<quote>As some of you know cuz I told you 4000 times... my roommie is a psychologist. She told me once that a study was done and the top number one fear of women was "fear of being found out". </quote>

Perhaps this explains some of the difference between the percentage of women in IT and the percentage that show as speakers at conferences (personally, perhaps even 5% is a bit higher than I have seen...).

Good luck in Australia!

I resent the generalization that people in Brisbane are all laid back. It's 11:00 AM and I've had 2 cans of Red Bull already, with 2 more in the fridge for "later" (which is twice the reccomended daily limit).

Hi Marcie, you are sure right about Brisbane being a beautiful city.

I worked in Brisbane for a couple of years in the tall white building to the right of the tallest blue-ish building in that picture. (The blue-ish building is where the Microsoft offices are.)

{Still looking at that picture } I used to catch the morning bus to SouthBank and take the bridge across the river to where you can see those trees there. There's a great walking path through there that leads you through a mangrove swamp-like area. From there you can walk up through the Botanical gardens, past Microsoft and into work.

It was a great way to start the day off; it was novel seeing all of the wealthy stockbrokers arriving to work on their boats :-)

Thursday, September 04, 2003 5:54 PM by Datagrid Girl

# re: Scrolling with a Datagrid in a DIV

IMO, using a behavior for this is pretty lame, as is just hard coding it in your HTML every time and it isn't going to work outside of IE. Here is an improvement:

1. Create a custom web control class ScrollablePanel
2. override OnPreRender to register the onScroll script / onLoad script via RegisterClientScriptBlock
3. override CreateChildControls method and add your hidden field.
4. override your control's render method to output your custom DIV tag.
5. add ScrollPosition property
6. implement IPostBackDataHandler / LoadPostData.

Now you have a .NET control that you can reuse to your heart's content.

# re: Scrolling with a Datagrid in a DIV

> That's the whole point--BOTH C# and VB people should be able to read the other language, it just makes life so much simpler.

Well sort of. The whole point is that 90% of the syntax in *either* language is BCL or CLR stuff so the CLR language is irrelevant. I have been saying this for over 2 years now and people just don't want to get it. If you can read VB.NET you can read C# and vise versa because most of the code is BCL calls (like System.Console.WriteLine for instance). Its WriteLine no matter what the CLR language is. When people get to "Its the Runtime Stupid" and finally accept that, then they will get somewhere.

Thursday, September 04, 2003 6:43 PM by Sam Gentile

# re: Scrolling with a Datagrid in a DIV

Hi Jesse, in my case using an IE behavior wasn't "lame", as it's for an IE-only application.

Thursday, September 04, 2003 7:13 PM by Datagrid Girl

# re: Scrolling with a Datagrid in a DIV

This just shows a difference in philosophies I guess. Generally, I spend my time building libraries, so I am always in code reuse mode. Here at the office, we have at least one assembly that is referenced in the majority of the projects we are working on. It contains utility classes such as this as well as other common web controls (such as listview and treeview) that aren't part of the .NET framework (another assembly is also reused in 90% of our projects which contains our custom authentication / profile / security classes). Although the first time around, the benefits aren't immediately realized, it saves quite a bit of time in the long run.

Anyway, you are still better off not using a behavior, even with an IE only application. First off, it takes about the same amount of work to do it either way (maybe 5 extra minutes of coding to create the control version). Secondly, using a behavior makes reuse of your scrollable div a pain (you can't package in a reusable dll). Third, if you have more than one scrollable grid in your application, you are going to be duplicating a lot of code (not to mention that you can use a scrollable panel for any scrollable content area, not just a grid). Fourth, even if THIS application was an IE only application, there is no gaurentee that your next project will be. And finally, as this functionality is pretty generic, not doing things right the first time around will only cause you extra work the second time around.

I guess everyone has a different oppinion on how important reuse is though... Some people like getting paid to write the same code over and over again :-). In any case, as I noted previously, this is all IMO. Everyone is free to disagree.

It's good to see that Marcie's taste in articles is as good as her taste in husbands. [grin].

I readily acknowledge the criticism against HTC's, but I also will point out that I specifically stated in the article that the htc could be a limitation.

Re: a "lame" approach and I should have created a custom web control, I fully agree that this kind of thing is an excellent candidate for a custom control. However, my purpose wasn't to write a treatise on web controls, but to show how to solve the scrolling problem. Now that the technique has been shown, I freely grant permission to anyone who wishes to incorporate it into a custom control and write an article that shows how to do it. But for myself, I have found that StrengthTechnologies excellent "SmartScroller" has already done that.

# re: "What's Bad About Microsoft"

I'm an on-the-fence kind of guy. There is no black or white, absolute right or wrong, only tastes great or only less filling.

Does Microsoft use some underhanded techniques to become rich and powerful? Yep. Is that the way the capatalist free market economy is set up to reward? Yep. I don't blame them for becoming rich and powerful, I applaud them!

...and use Linux and PHP. While Microsoft has put out some good, userfriendly product (say what you will about Linux being better, but until RedHat 8 a couple of years ago, Windows has been the most userfriendly OS/GUI out of the box since the early 90's. That's good business,) they could be doing it more fairly and with better quality.

And the best way to encourage that, is to have good quality competition. BeOS and Linux have finally started to become competition in the MAINSTREAM everyday Joe-blow user market, which while I like being an elitest geek, the mainstream market is where the money and power's at...for a business...which Microsoft is.

# re: Datagrid Mailbag: Changing row's cssclass on the client

Are you not setting the className on the first table element in the page - which is not necessarily your DataGrid?

Another approach might be:

<asp:HyperLink onclick='javascript:ShowDoc(this);' NavigateUrl='javascript:void(0);' ...

and
function ShowDoc(src)
{
// A -> TD -> TR
src.parentNode.parentNode.className = 'ClickedClass';
}

# re: "What's Bad About Microsoft"

I don't know why people pick so much in Microsoft. If there are really that many people that don't like Microsoft products, how come its apps are still the ones used in a majority of businesses anfd homes. If the "free" software/ apps are as good as people said they are, how come those are not the ones being used by the masses.

Just my point of view.

Saturday, September 20, 2003 2:32 AM by Ricardo

# re: "What's Bad About Microsoft"

People pick on Microsoft because we grew up on Star Wars and despise empires. If you're rich and powerful, you must be evil.
HOWEVER, what most people don't know is there IS truth to Microsoft using very strong-armed tactics to force itself onto the harddrives of every new PC up until a couple of years ago.
They use rather shady tactics to gain market share for their applications, and buy out or crush most of their competition so that they're the only name you think about for OS's and Office applications.
Again, that's capatalism, and bully for them for using the free market system to become rich and powerful.

But until recently, that's the big reason you haven't seen alternatives is because of their draconian business practices. The masses aren't using things like Linux because until recently no one's marketed to the masses, and even if they did, the masses wouldn't be able to use it. RedHat 8 was really the 1st desktop user-friendly OS. And now you are finding Linux as an OS option on new PC's and on shelves of Best Buy...places where until a couple of years ago Microsoft has been able to control through economic force.
And I gaurentee you that with more press, RedtHat 10 and Open Office will start to become competition now that competition is being grugingly allowed by MS.

# re: Dynamic Controls in ASP.NET

I have a strange problem with the datagrid I'm using. I have created my datagrid Non-dynamically, and it works. The only problem is that when I'm in VB.NET, and I have the aspx file open, if I click on the "Design" tag, and then go back to the "HTML" tag, all my HTML and ASP code dissapears! My entire datagrid just goes up in smoke, the code just isn't there anymore.

Why would VB.NET do that? Any idea?

# re: Dynamic Controls in ASP.NET

Dear Datagrid Girl,
Thank you for your advice. My thinking on this is that I want to create one basic set of generic asp.net functions that will render pages for me based on database query results. I have a table structure in which I define the controls and where they belong and what their display options are. If it is a listbox or combobox or table data then I fill in the data according to a subquery defined in the database. This all works great. I want to do this so that I can create applications faster by defining the application interfaces in the database. Toss in my handy dandy generic aspx and aspx.vb code and voila, new web interface to my database. Then all I need to do is focus on the queries I need. I have a working version of this technique from vb6 and it has been very good to me. Generic coding is a real time saver. And to get there with asp.net I will need to be able to load my controls, including the datagrid, dynamically if possible. Now if I could only get the datagrid events to fire... :)

I've been visiting your website regularly, since I listened your intgerview on dotNetRocks. I was really interesting and I already bought some of the books you recomended.

I have a couple of questions: first, how did you get your our blog site inside weblogs.asp.net? I don't seem to find a way to enroll myself. Do I need to contact someone?

Regarding the Certification Exam 70-305, what training method did you use? I'm going to guess you trained yourself, so I'd like to know what books and related material did you use.

Congrats on passig the 70-305 test!!!

# re: "What's Bad About Microsoft"

You know I hear things about how microsoft does not play fair and uses "Strong-armed tactics" and "shady tactics" to further it's market shares, but what no one wants to answer is:
What major coroporation does not use "Strong-armed tactics" and "shady tactics"? Are you saying that Citi, Cisco, Intel, McDonalds, etc all play fair? Do none of these or any other corporations not do the same things? But I'll bet you still purchase things from them or use their services. The list above is just a small list of places I pulled off the top of my head. There are thousands more that play the same way.

Think about cable companies. When you move into an area that has say Time Warner cable you pay for the hook-up and watch their channles. But who else can you get to provide your service for cable? No one. You could of course get Satellite but then you have to make sure you can put up the dish and if your in an apartment you can't. But if you push the cable company they will eventually tell you that you can get service from anyone you wish. Oh but one fact they don't tell you is that that company can't use their lines.

But then no ones bitches about the cable company until their network connection is down or their cable goes out. It's not a monopoly until it affects you, right?

Fellow Programmers,

Do not spend/waste your time in this discussion. These criticisms are totally biased.

No body ever questioned sun for bringing OMG into picture when OSF/DCE already exists.
No body bothered about copycat naming conventions such as JSP, JDBC, JDO etc.

Those who know even a bit of statistics and finance, do not dare to criticize charities of Gate's foundation as tricks to increase its marketing.

All these companies play political/litigious tricks and follow the age old rubbish rule: If you can not become an angel, be a devil so that you can be noticed.

Also, how about recommending related articles while the user is browsing on one a la Amazon.com?

Also, maybe sub-categorizing the content, to the point of being able to drill down into organized folders, like:

Microsoft has a calendar control that uses behaviors. Obviously IE5+ only but I've worked with and its pretty nice. You can download it from here:

There is a cool JS calendar that I've used in one of my projects here. All done in JS and DHTML, very customizable.

Get it at

# re: Datagrid to Excel Formatting Tip

for text format use
mso-number-format:"\@";

for currency format use
mso-number-format:"\0022$\0022\#\,\#\#0\.00";

to center text use
text-align:center;

For example, to center and format ALL cells to text
following line should be added using response.write() at top of the page.

<style> td {mso-number-format:"\@"; text-align:center;} </style>

Hopefully that should give you an idea.

# re: HierarGrid

Seems to be a great control , excellent effort.

Works fine with the sample application proveded - where data source is read from an xml file.

I m using SQL db(northwind ) and tried it for tabels [Parent as] 'customer' and [Child as] 'order' (relation of field 'customerid')

In the child child template file i have a simple asp.net datagrid control and to bind this child contorl i use the code as said, but unfortunately get following error when typecasting the (..dgi..)datagriditem to data set:

"Specified cast is not valid."
i m pasting the code i m using to bind the datagrid in the child template

Dim dgi As DataGridItem = CType(Me.BindingContainer, DataGridItem)
Dim ds As DataSet = CType(dgi.DataItem, DataSet)
dg.DataSource = ds
dg.DataMember = "orders"
dg.DataBind()

# re: HierarGrid

Your DataGridItem should most likely be cast to DataRowView, rather than DataSet

The problem is that your site navigation is predominantly orange so putting it anywhere in the normal navigation places is going to make it 'invisible'. So you need to put it against a white background, preferably near the top. Anywhere in that first area that starts "Your place etc".

Marcie, I tried IntraVnews but it was too buggy for me. I certainly loved the full download capabilities since I was able to view graphics and screenshots while blogging on the train, but the infrastructure was simply too unstable for me.

I went for NewsGator and have loved it ever since. It's integration is rock solid. It's performance does't impact the machine, ever, and the "Summary Page" which serves as one-stop shopping for all my feeds is where I spend my long train rides home from the city.

Hi Marcie,

I had a look, and I still can't find it! Anyway, I'd vote for top right have corner, just above or below the ad (dundas at the moment....), just above "The Lounge". Thats where I usually expect to find these things.

While you (codeproject) are at it, do to borders and get a couple of Jakob Nielsen's books - Homepage Usability and Designing Web Usability (www.useit.com) - I think the homepage one would help you (CP) out a lot :)

# re: Feedback wanted: where should our RSS link go?


One error not to make : mimic MSDN dev centers, and thus add more than one RSS icons and links on the same page. Couldn't be more confusing.

Where should it be? at the bottom of the page, near the privacy and other links.

codeproject is heavily cluttered btw. There's just too much content on the home page. In fact, it has never categorized well out of its core (codeguru) MFC control repository.

Friday, March 05, 2004 9:14 AM by Stephane Rodriguez

# re: Feedback wanted: where should our RSS link go?

It's really a bit difficult to catch the Rss link in the actual homepage: using an orange button on an orange background, somewhere in the middle of the page, it's just misleading.

Try to put the orange button on a white background, just to show it up and stress the difference with the other graphical elements of the home page. I would choose the white space at the top of the home, just near or above the logo. The user would find it at a glance, without the necessity of scrolling the page.

Even if I'm not so fond of usability, I think that the home of the site could be better reorganized, just to help the user find the piece of information he's interested in.

Is the main page for the sections in the left menu really necessary? I find it a useless click, since the subsections are already visible and accessible from the home page.

bye :)

Friday, March 05, 2004 10:05 AM by veronica formelli

# re: Feedback wanted: where should our RSS link go?

Also, make sure you support auto-discovery. Basically, it is just a <link> element in your header. I imagine you should be able to just add it to your templates.

For example, if you view the source of any of your blog's pages, you should see:

<link title="RSS" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" href="http://weblogs.asp.net/datagridgirl/rss.aspx">

This allows applications to find your Rss feed, regardless of a hyerlink.

I prefer "RSS" instead of "XML".

# re: Feedback wanted: where should our RSS link go?

I guess as someone mentioned the orange background is making it difficult to locate the RSS feeds.
1. I'd suggest that it should go against the white background.
2
a. I should locate the main rss feed without scrolling the main page, there should be enought space for this little icon somewhere in the top right.
b. There can be a page which lists the rss feeds available (I do not know if we already have this) similar to amazon(yes they did it, amazon now has feeds...waaahoo :)

# re: "Leaving Secure Connection" Message When You Use LinkButton in DataGrid and SSL

I may be wrong, but I think this problem exists only in the 1.0 version of the .NET Framework. I believe it is fixed with 1.1

Sunday, March 07, 2004 8:21 PM by James High

# re: "Leaving Secure Connection" Message When You Use LinkButton in DataGrid and SSL

Ok folks so it says this:

"For computers that have .NET Framework SP2 installed, this hotfix is included in the following hotfix rollup:
328546 INFO: Post-Service Pack 2 .NET Framework Hotfix Rollup Package 3"

so this is fixed in sp2.

and note the detail:
1.0.3705.299 System.Web.dll
1.0.3705.299 Aspnet_isapi.dll
1.0.3705.299 Aspnet_wp.exe
1.0.3705.299 Aspnet_perf.ini
1.0.3705.299 Aspnet_regiis.exe

1.0.3705.xxx so this is 1.0 not 1.1

the footnotes also say:
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP1
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2002), Professional Edition
---
and

Last Reviewed: 9/12/2003 (3.0)

so is someone having a problem with 1.1 ?

and is the url absolute or relative
as that makes a difference with the ssl messages in other cases.

href="foo/this.aspx"
vs.
href="www.domain.com/foo/this.aspx"

# re: "Leaving Secure Connection" Message When You Use LinkButton in DataGrid and SSL

This is an ongoing debate. The issue is that they're called QFEs, which stand for quick fix engineering for a reason. QFEs aren't tested as well as a SP or release, and, if a bug is found in a QFE, MS needs to be able to let people who have it know about the issue. This is my understanding of the problem at hand, at least.

In any case, when you call PSS, there's a menu option for QFEs, and pretty often, the call router can actually email it to you, and you don't even have to hold for a tech support person.

You know, that data grid and repeater effects are pretty far out there and might be useful for something or another, however... they don't seem to work at all on FireFox, so I'm guess they won't work for other non-IE browsers either.

It's a shame that so many .NET web controls are targeted specificly for IE and don't tend to implement down-level behavior or similar behaviors for non-IE browsers.

That is the problem. Firefox CAN handle it but the page doesn't send the correct information to the browser and sends out a dumbed-down version instead, making it appear as if the browser were "downlevel" and can't handle the functionality.

SharePoint is mostly used in intranets. In it's current incarnation, it's not suitable for the Internet, although I think bCentral.com does SharePoint hosting.

Microsoft internally uses SharePoint (and SharePoint Portal Server - a very separate product). It really is a nifty collaboration tool.

At Cisco, the team I'm on is using TWiki, which has similar broad goals as SharePoint (collaboration), but goes about it in a vastly different way.

SharePoint is heavily dependent on fast connections using DHTML. TWiki is pretty bland by comparsion. Both systems could learn a lot from each other.

The Brent Ashley method of RS is very out dated now. Would have been a better bet for the author to go the XMLHTTP route which is very well supported now by Safari, IE, Gecko, Opera et al.

Nah, it's my specialty, and I'm sticking to it :) Besides, it's the area that conference organizers ask me to speak about (surprise, surprise). This conference does begin to cover Whidbey topics, so I'll also cover a bit about the future of databinding, including the GridView control.

# Solution to: Unable to Start Debugging

Try this solution if the application fails in the web.config file at this line <authentication mode="Windows"/>. In the IIS console make sure you have the directory created as an application. This can be accomplished by right-clicking the directory in the "Default Web Site" window, then properties. On the directory tab in the application setting section click create.
Creating the directory as an application gives the folder permission for running scripts through the web server.

# re: Datagrids, everywhere

Hey Marcie - Thanks for the linkage. But really, is there some reason that everybody wants to talk about datagrids? I mean when I look at most real world business forms they do not lend themselves to a grid layout. If the customer is willing to let you redesign the forms, GREAT, most people I have dealt with want to see the same thing on the screen and on the form (report), and getting them to see it any other way is a tough sell.

# re: Datagrids, everywhere

Hi Dewayne!
For web applications, I can't think of too many apps where you wouldn't at some point want to take data, and put it into an HTML < table >. The ASP.NET Datagrid just makes that process easier.

I definitely agree with you about not taking an existing design that is NOT grid-shaped, and forcing it into a grid layout, very inappropriate.

# re: HierarGrid

Hello!

Excellent control! I'm experiencing the same issue as the person above, but only when using a SQL database. The sample application that uses XML data seems to be fine. This cast error crops up during postback only, not compilation. My research shows that it's an issue with viewstate. See this article from Microsoft: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q327287">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q327287</a>. Its solution is:

Make sure that the control tree is re-created on postback in the same order that it was saved at the end of the previous request.

In respect to the HierarGrid control, how can this solution be implemented?

Thanks for any input!

In a word: YUCK! Honestly, comparing what the Taliban did to Afghan women to what happens to women in technology is simply absurd. Women were routinely beaten and killed for minor infractions under the Taliban. Even if you buy many of the claims made by the author about how women in technology are made "invisible" (I certainly don't), this isn't anything close to what women experienced under the Taliban. To make the comparison trivializes the horror those women experienced, and is quite frankly offensive. The author of this article needs to get a clue.

I made a blog entry on declaring types in C++/CLI today evening and well, it took me just 30 minutes or so to write the samples, test them out, and write the actual blog entry. Had it been an article I'd probably have required 2 hours or more.

178!

How long does that take to start up?

I usually don't have more than about 5 or so projects in a solution (e.g. Data, Service, Test, Web) and a solution for each "application". Though obviously that's not hard and fast.

I always reference projects. Make switching between release and debug within the solution easier.

# 0.5s - It's a server application

There are 178 projects on the solution, but not all of them are loaded on the application startup, they are loaded as functionalities are invoked.
I estimate that roughly 20 of them are needed for the application startup, and it starts up on roughly 0.5s. I never measured it, but it’s clearly a sub-second process. Actually, monolithic designs are more often responsible for slow startup times than the inverse.
I’m a strong advocate of separate build machines. You're wasting expensive resources (programmers) while they manage & wait for a build, instead of doing what they're supposed to do: programming. They need to build only the subsystem and the unit tests of the code they’re working on, nothing more.
Not to mention the risks involved: just think about of what would happen if a developer machine gets infected by a virus.

# re: VS.NET IDE Conversation

I really hope this gets fixed in the next version. This bug is currently biting our company. Wish I could afford a MSDN subscription so I could check this out on the new version.

# re: VS.NET IDE Conversation

Hi Travis, in VS 2005, you don't actually have to use Solutions or Projects at all, which I think is pretty cool, though there are still some advantages to using them. Though it's currently only available for download for MSDN subscribers and alpha testers, MS is also handing out copies at some of the conferences, so if you can make it to one of those, that's another way to get a copy.

# re: Using Eval in C# (or VB)

Marcie: Thanks for the link! I've always enjoyed your site and I appreciate the nice feedback.

Raymond: Excellent point and I added a warning (in bold) to readers about this issue. In the application where I use this code the strings come from a configuration entry in a SQL Server table and not from the user or over the network. We place the settings in the table during application deployment. If the database is tampered with we have other problems…

Minh: Actually, your approach is faster, as long as the VsaEngine is created and kept around. My worry was that I could not find much in the way of documentation on the JScript VsaEngine, particularly with regards to multithreaded use. Since the engine obviously maintains some state between calls I was worried I might be violating some rules and I’d appreciate any more insight you could provide. In the end I decided to approach the problem as “How would I write this in JScript if I was deploying a class library” followed by “How can I compile this on the fly to avoid creating another package to deploy”.

Thanks for the feedback!

# re: Test-Driven Development book

From what I have learned about TDD, what to test is ver simple : Everything.

There are only two (or 3) situations where you write code.
A test fails (or doesn't compile) or you are refactoring.

Isn't there annother recent book about TDD? I thought I saw one that dealt a lot with design patterns at the same time.

Well, the other thing about Yahoo! Mail is that paid customers will get what seems to be "unlimited" storage.

Though, I doubt anyone is likely to exceed 100MB of mail storage easily anyway, let alone 1GB! Think about it, what's the biggest email message you've ever received? It'd probably be nice to store all those mailing list emails of various groups you're involved in online rather than on your PC. And you'll be able to use a search engine powered search on those mail messages for that solution that was provided several months ago of a problem you're having right now!

Guess this is part of the revolution, we have started to see systems that come with 100GB hard drives and larger sizes too.

WinFS will definately help you index those 100GB hard drives. That gives me an idea, how about using WinFS type technology for an email system???

# re: IM Stati

I would have thought by now MS would have tied in custom stati to program's running.

Especially for...
Watching Movie (lots of ideas for media centre)
Presenting

And these could block out popups, etc.

I think it would be nice if I could attach a custom status to a machine - or a location. If I'm at home and I plug into the lan damnit - it should say that I'm home. Or at a client? Or in our classroom? or whatever.

I'd also like to have status that could be different for each of my contacts. Of course I'd also like it I could block my location from some people.

If you're going to put questions in your status, then you really should have a FAQ service - so when people ask - you don't have to go through the effort of typing it in...kind of like those faxback services.

Cool, and one more cool idea...

why not MSN introduce some cool Smart Tags for messages ?

Most of the users does'nt know much about chat jargon like BRB, CUL, JAM etc...MSN messenger can create smart tags for these words so that the users simply know what is that all meant for ? :)

# re: Beginning Books?

I will recommend Professional VB.NET and Professional ASP.NET, both published by Wrox Publications

Friday, May 21, 2004 2:34 PM by Virag

# re: Beginning Books?

I'd recommend Francesco Balena's "Programming Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET Version 2003" - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735620598/104-3044647-6393521?v=glance. It's a very thorough book, and it helped me move from VB6 / ASP to ASP.NET.

Friday, May 21, 2004 3:01 PM by Jon Galloway

# re: Beginning Books?

Microsoft's Step-by-step series are good for getting a start.
While they may seem too simple for an experienced developer, they give you that core stuff (looping, branching etc) that is the foundation.
I also suggest going with C#. I tried to learn VB.Net, and kept tripping myself up trying to relate it to what I knew of VB. Going to C# made it easier to keep things separate in my head. Now that I'm comfortable with C#, I can look at VB.Net and understand.

# re: Beginning Books?

Without a doubt I'd reccomend: Visual Basic .NET Developer's Guide to ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET by Jeff McManus and Chris Kinsman.

It took me well over a year to really "get it" with .NET development, with many books along the way. Finally when I got this book, it all clicked. Then I went back and got so much more out of the other books.

I hope you enjoy the same.

Friday, May 21, 2004 3:50 PM by Travis Laborde

# re: Beginning Books?

I will make one book recommendation. Coder to Developer by Mike Gunderloy. This covers the things besides just churning out code that are important to a .NET developer, such as unit testing and source control. While these may be considered "advanced" topics, these are things I think should be learned early on as to build good habits.

I suppose the second book would then have to be a more general "how to program in .net" kinda book. The above commenters have already made plenty of suggestions for this.

Friday, May 21, 2004 4:04 PM by Jim Bolla

# re: Beginning Books?

lol,

You're describing me 2 years ago, except without the web background. I used Apress' "Moving to ASP .NET: Web Development with VB .NET" and "Programming VB .NET: A Guide for Experienced Programmers" to get me started. Also, as the DataGrid girl surely knows, www.datagridgirl.com and www.4guysfromrolla.com are excellent sites to help you get jump-started doing web-database development.

Always, always, always start with this one:

Friday, May 21, 2004 8:22 PM by Robert Hurlbut

# re: Beginning Books?

Mike Gunderloy has a great book on learning ASP.NET with VB.NET. It's a study guide for the 70-305 certification test, but it is aimed at newbies and it has a LOT of small step-by-step examples.

# re: Breaking up with SharpReader

Actually I do have some ideas to fix the memory issues in SharpReader - either by dynamically unloading and reloading items, or possibly by switching to database-based storage. That last option would allow for the best scalability, but will also take some serious refactoring, so that would take a while to implement. I'll probably do option #1 first.

I'm not experiencing any hangs myself - the next time this happens for you, could you please email me your sharpreader.log files (from your app settings/sharpreader directory) and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on there. Your opml may help me reproduce the problem as well... thanks!

Admittedly, I (obviously) never actually tried to implement any of the ideas they laid out. If you did and have had success in doing so, please post about it and I may just have to dig that book up again...

# re: Beginning Books?

ASP.NET Unleashed was my first .net book, and I thought it did a very good job of covering the basics. It uses vb.net and I do not think it has anything covering Visual Studio (may be a plus or minus, depending on your situation) I was able to use notepad and later Web Matrix to work through everything. It is complete enough to cover filesystem, security issues, database, some xml, custom controls, and some sample applications. It doesn't really cover more of the OO stuff, or some of the more advanced topics I've heard talk about, but most of the data access is done with datareaders first, and then datasets, so its not a baby book.

# re: Finished moving Mount Fuji

I read it before my interview @ MCS and it was totally unnecessary - I wasn't asked a single riddle. I guess when you are claiming to be a .NET architect there is enough technical material to quiz on with resorting to round manhole covers and the number of gas stations in Texas...

The book might come in helpful for college grads or others who have little to show on their resumes and will be accepted mostly on the basis of their intellect. However in those cases the book won't help you if you aren't already "smart" enough. It really focuses on the Microsoft history and doesn't go very deep into the various problem solving techniques needed to pass riddle-based tests.

My $0.02

Monday, May 24, 2004 2:06 AM by Addy Santo

# re: Finished moving Mount Fuji

Just understand that none of the questions in the book are going to be asked. So the back half of the book is a fascinating read, especially if you like working out puzzles.

"Why are manhole covers round" is SO 1980's anyway :)

Monday, May 24, 2004 3:21 AM by Larry Osterman

# re: Finished moving Mount Fuji

Yeah, the new question is "why manhole covers at all?" ;-)

Actually, I honestly believe there will always be value to this book (or others like it), for a few reasons:

1. It does a really good job of explaining why Microsoft interviews the way it does (whether you agree or not)
2. If nothing else, it gives you 'a mind for puzzles'

I've found that since reading the book I take less things for granted, ask more questions and generally feel more prepared for a variety of things.

Even if that's all you get out of the book, it's worth 16$. Better bang for buck than seeing Shrek 2 anyways ;-)

# re: "Rectangular orange turd"

I'm far more in favour of the nice little rss icon (e.g. http://www.carpeaqua.com/mt-static/images/buttons/rss20.gif) not as brash, more descriptive and just as useful. Allegedly (as in I have no proof of this statement), Dave Winer thinks we should all use the ugly orange turd - have to say, I disagree. In terms of usability, many more people know what RSS is than XML in terms of syndication formats (ever seen a BBC news story on "XML feed in the RSS syntax"). I totally go with using a different icon, prominently positioned - keep the same icon style (the RSS one in preference), users are sophisticated enough to read the icon to know that you can be syndicated as long as it's in a similar position each time - keeping a common metaphor.

# re: Breaking up with SharpReader

I used to use Bloglines. All in all a pretty good product, but it has one critical flaw: you can't mark individual posts as read. If you fall behind on a high-traffic site, you have to read all 300-400+ entries in a single go. I made this suggestion awhile back, but I don't know if they've done anything about it.

The best solution I've found has centered around Exchange. It gives you the ubiquitous access of Bloglines, and, when you're on the network or your laptop, the full rich UI of Outlook.

Initially I used Intravnews - the price was particularly appealing. It also had a nice feature that lets you download the HTML behind the entry. The only problem was, it wouldn't seem to turn off - and this made my mailbox grow very quickly, especially on sites that use heavy graphics and anchors instead of separate pages for entries.

I've since been using Newsgator, and it's been a bit smoother. I'll probably purchase soon.

I haven't used RSS Bandit recently, but I'm told it has made huge strides recently. I particularly like the sync features that had been added. They also recently added Outlook-like features such as search folders and follow-up flags.

I still figure, why not use Outlook itself and get all those features for free? :)

# re: Tech Ed Evaluation forms

I think the idea is that if you attend these kinds of events with any regularity then you know that the same people speak at all of them. It is in the best interest of the attendee to fill out an eval so that the "right" people are speaking or not speaking at the next event. I guess this line of thinking will still result in more people filling out evals because they really liked or really didn't like a speaker but that is ok too in that it still ensure the "right" people are there next time.

My understandng is that SmartPhones are being raffled off to those who have filled out evaluations.

I just don't get why everyone is so excited...well apart from Google who get a great Data-Mining resource...

Wednesday, June 09, 2004 1:35 AM by Scott Galloway

# re: Gmail invitations!

Well...not everyone has a 160GB mail server at their disposal. Also, the ability to access their email from anywhere with an Internet connection is huge. Of course I'm talking about that without Terminal Services or OWA since most users don't have those tools at their disposal. I'm not totally hyped about Gmail, but definitely interested in seeing it in action and the affect it has out there.

When are you going to do the West? Oshawa's just a tad too far for me. (And of course I'm a day late)

Mississauga or Kitchener-Waterloo would be ideal.

Oshawa (Ontario) - is a Seneca word that means "crossing of a stream" or "carrying place," describing an old portage in the area.

# re: Multi-Author Books

How would you change things? Fewer authors would mean more pages per author. With schedules shortening, that does not seem likely. Publishers want the authors to do more work for less money. That doesn't seem fair. 14 is probably too many, but 2 would be too few. Must be a happy medium somwhere.....

# re: Multi-Author Books


I was always a big Wrox fan until they started having the "author per chapter: books. There was no flow at all, it was like reading a bunch of magaine articles bound in book form.

# re: Multi-Author Books

I guess you would need a team coordinator with that many authors and editors...That many authors would seem like it would create a very difficult to read book unless the editors did a very good job.

Friday, June 18, 2004 3:34 AM by Josh

# re: Multi-Author Books

It's not the number of authors that bothers me but the number of pages. The best books I have seem to cover their subject in a couple of hundred. But publishers appear to like 800+ page blockbusters. Perhaps it's the need for so many pages that requires so many authors.

# re: Multi-Author Books

I have Wrox's Prof XML (2nd Ed) that I picked up from Borders for a dollar (clearance sale) - the book has 13 authors! I wonder why Wrox went out of business..

# re: Linux, Munich, and Sonu Kapoor

I think it could sounds like a sign of possible changement... lots of business entities are planning to migrate to Linux. But the real alarm for MS I think could be what we are seeing in these days: some pc vendors starts to sell PC with Linux preinstalled, with a sensible low cost compared to the normal price. This could be the road for migration.

# re: Multi-Author Books

I think it'd be great if someone actually editted the books before publication. Lots of recent books have had sloppy editting.

Friday, June 18, 2004 3:56 PM by Eric Engler

# re: Multi-Author Books

Precisely the reason I stopped buying Wrox books or those huge Unleashed/Special Edition/Bible things. The problem with having so many authors is that the core substance of the book becomes diluted and confused. You also stand in the bookshop thinking..."if I could just tear out this chapter because thats all I need".

Before the demise of Wrox they started to bring out their 'Handbook' series on specific topics - Code Security, Data Security etc. I thought this was a cracking idea. No more 1200 page(/Lb) bricks of paper to plough through to collate the knowledge I required to do a specific task - it was all gathered together in a single pocket sized (almost) format.

Big chunky books are fine if they're single topic but when they try to appeal to all and sundry and have a busload of authors then I just won't buy them.

WEll, why I deserve it? Well, I don't but it be nice. I don't have much in life but there are many people in the world that do have less than me so I should complain. I a single parent with 3 children. I work 12 hour shifts just to make enough money for rent. My husband left me for many other women. So I came here to the U.S. to try to make it on my own with my children. I can't afford school clothes for them right now but I work over time to makes that extra buck. I don't get child support because the courts been tracking my husband for 5 years now to make him pay. My older child Arielle want to go to driving school but I can't afford it. But she deserve to! My tounger one Kenneth is upset because I can afford to put him in football because the fees are really expensive. And the middle one, Edward is struggling in school but I can't really help him because i don't understand his home work. I would say at least I have my health but that seems to be decling as well. But that's ok. Because I have God on my side and that's all I really need to get me through these hardships which some day I will surley over come. : )

portugal all the way !! no bans or injured players for portugal, greece is missing karagounis through suspension. hopefully maniche will score another 'perfect' goal, deco with the assist, after he rips greece's defence apart. if there is a penalty against portugal, i hope ricardo will remove his gloves and dont conceed the goal. (nice one against vassel)
ronaldo will continue to show his flashy dribbling, figo will do his duty as the captain of portugal ! and of course.. gotto avenge for the first match.. it was sad to lose at home, first match. scolari will lead portugal to victory, and he will be the only second coach to win world cup and the european cup. gooooooooooo portugal ! btw, i'm not a portuguese, i'm just a die-hard fan from indonesia.

# re: Gmail invitations!

I've got my gmail account. I am v. smug about it and just wanted to let you all know. I should tell you how I got it, but I can't be bothered. I am not a nice person, so I won't.


OK: Search /cgi-bin/ etc. folders with Google (The rarer the folder name, the more chance of finding an unused addy) - Use the search engine to find gmail addys using this search string:
*/http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-*

work your way through the email addresses, cutting then pasting them into your browsers address bar. Press enter or click 'Go'

You'll find an unused one eventually...

Happy Hunting...

# re: Datagrid and GridView Talk in Columbia, SC June 2nd

You know, it seems to me like the .net datagrid really is a piece of junk if you write applications with windows forms rather than asp.net. I believe that the Grid, because it was designed to be used either for the web or for windows forms, is flawed in a huge number of important ways.

Events that are relevant to windows programming, but not web programming(such as row deletion events bound to the control itself rather than the underlying datatable), are excluded entirely! Have you ever used a Java JTable? The delete event is directly exposed by the "control"(widget)! All datagrid events are basically crippled if they are to be used in a realtime environment(rather than the schizophrenically disjointed manner of a webserver interaction). Also, the methods which are required to implement custom column controls, or even to apply, say, a currency format to data within a control in a grid are obscure to say the least. These column controls are barely mentioned in the grid documentation until you get several levels deep.

Would it be possible for there to be such a thing as a datagrid girl were it not for the obfuscation in the control? Clearly you should be commended for spending so much time peeling back the layers of such an inscrutable onion, but let me tell you it is a rotten one! I like datagrid's parents(ie System.Windows.Forms.control) but i think their kid is a bad egg(while we're beating the spoiled food analogy to a bloody pulp[ha!]).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some kind of thick app elitist, I spend a good deal of my time writing things for the web, which is why the reasons for the laziness of the .net architects is so blindingly obvious to me. Speaking of schizophrenia, whoever designed the data binding mechanisms in the grid should be medicated. Binding the grid to a dataset object(i know, you can load it manually through a variety of methods, as long as you don't rely to heavily on the framework docs) seems to have only one important feature: making pagination, a tricky problem in web programming, easier. This limits the grid in any application where the developer needs to have a high level of control over how row deleting events should be handled and how data coming from the grid should be interpreted and recorded.

This is the critical flaw of .net in general(are you still reading?); it was created to simultaneously support web forms and windows controls, and the windows side of things suffers in every respect because of this. Have you attempted to find in-depth information on using the grid in a windows form? Good luck digging through the piles of ASP.NET documentation. And what kind of name is .net anyways? Has Microsoft ever heard of a search engine? Do they know what top-level domains are? If there is an intuitive, or even logical, way to use the grid, I have yet to stumble across the Knowledge Base article.

To see your site where you so enthusiastically hype the datagrid hurts me deeply. It is like stumbling across a site which praises the efficiency of the IRS or the merits of drinking for pregnant women(population control!). I am very curious to hear your thoughts regarding the datagrid in the future, specifically if that is when it will cease to suck.

p.s. - you are a cutie, best of luck on your talk.

renounce the grid!

Thursday, June 16, 2005 8:52 PM by windows.forms datagrid sufferer

# re: Datagrid and GridView Talk in Columbia, SC June 2nd

Hi WinFormsGridSufferer--
First I want to say that the Web DataGrid and the Windows one are totally different controls--note that they inherit from different objects, and about the only thing they have in common is the name. But I completely agree with you about the suckage of the Windows Forms control. Fortunately there is a completely new version in 2.0 to replace it called the DataGridView. From what I've seen of it, it alleviates much of the 1.x suckage.
Good luck!

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

It's not work under IE 5.0

Thursday, August 11, 2005 9:07 PM by bestcomy

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

Interesting, it works great for us under IE 6, and both <base> and showModalDialog were around in IE 5, so I'm surprised that it doesn't work there.

Thursday, August 11, 2005 9:13 PM by Marcie

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

The standard solution I always employed was to load a dummy page in the modal dialog that only writes out an IFRAME to the window (height/width 100% and no border). The IFRAME is given a SRC tag of the actual page to be viewed. In this case, postbacks and whatnot will work fine in a showModalDialog or showModelessDialog.

Thursday, August 11, 2005 11:42 PM by Ron Buckton

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

I've run into this problem too and did the following:
* when entering the page i give window.name a unique name.
* i set the target of my links to this name

btw:
window.navigate(newUrl) or
window.location.href = newUrl will open a new window.
use window.open(newUrl, window.name) instead.

and:
disable all caching for pages that are used in modal dialogs. When IE has to show a url that's cached it loads from the cache without asking the server in some circumstances.

better than ron's approach but I can't check whether it works fine with IE 5.x
(got an upgrade some years ago)

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Marcy,

Why not disable the viewstate on the grid but on each item row.

So for example in the DataGrid1_ItemCreated event you could add the
following line of code:

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
e.Item.EnableViewState = false;

The viewstate for the datagrid will be very small and you would still keep sorting, paging and all the other events.

Kind regards,

Marcel

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Maybe you should add this to your blog.

I think this solution is an ideal way to retain all the functionality of the datagrid (paging, sorting, etc…) without hacking around with the grid. Obviously rebinding to a datasource is required on postbacks.

Regards,

Marcel van den Hof

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Why not just use the addhandler to hookup?

AddHandler dgReport.SortCommand, AddressOf dgReport_SortCommand

Since this is a dynamic way to hook into
events at runtime and you don't need to use
a dummy object. You would want to check for
postback for only this call to addhandler
so you aren't hooking in too many times.

I use it and it works for me for all sorts of
datagrid events w/Viewstate off.

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Hmmm, I liked it, but it didn't work for me.

Tuesday, August 30, 2005 3:58 PM by Marcie

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Try this real quick snippet...I didn't do any 2 way sorting or anything but you can use a Sesison var or similar go from there. Hope it works for you.

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
binddata("contactname") 'default sort
If Page.IsPostBack Then AddHandler DataGrid1.SortCommand, AddressOf DataGrid1_SortCommand
End Sub

Sub binddata(ByVal SortExp As String)
Dim cn As New SqlConnection("data source=server;user id=user;password=pwd;initial catalog=northwind")
cn.Open()
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from customers order by " & SortExp, cn)
da.Fill(ds, "customers")
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds
DataGrid1.DataBind()
End Sub

Private Sub DataGrid1_SortCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.SortCommand
binddata(e.SortExpression)
End Sub

Tuesday, August 30, 2005 4:38 PM by Rachel

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Hmmm, I think in my case, this doesn't work because my grid is only bound after a postback. (A "Run" button has to be clicked before BindData is ever called, so IsPostBack is always true).

Tuesday, August 30, 2005 5:05 PM by Marcie

# re: Sorting with Datagrid ViewState disabled

Rachel's way will work, but it will bind the data twice when the user chooses a sort.

Marcel's way sounds interesting, but Marcie's way was easier, so I did that. ;)

# re: HierarGrid

I know it's a bit late, but maybe someone will come looking to the same page.

2 points that can cuase this problem:

1. Not setting the property of the HierarGrid.TemplateDataMode to "Table"

2. Trying to bind too soon - Try Page Events-OnDataBinding - my experience with using Page_Load indicates that it's only on DataBinding that the dataset gets passed over.

If any of the original posters here pick this up, please tell me what you are using now instead of HierarGrid - I'm programming in ASP.NET 2.0 a la VB and I couldn't get the Gridview to do what this did!

Thanks, hope this helps someone when google indexes it!

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

yes <base target="_self" > works for submitting a request through a modal window without opening a new window.

But make sure you DO NOT HAVE any other property set like document.forms[0].target  = _self (I was doing it and it was not working)

Another thing i noticed is title disappears after the modal window refreshes !! someone mentioned it in the post but no one answered it ?? can anyone provide some inputs on it ??

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 4:19 PM by eminently_addictive

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

To make sure the title does not disappear after a request is made from a modal window ... all you have to do is make sure the title is the first tag after ur head tag ..

<head>

<title>

ur title

</title>

<base target=_self>

.

.

</head>

Hope this helps anyone ... and thanks to all who posted their comments.

For 2008 - newcomers thinking about choosing coldfusion or asp.NET you should consider that now on the coldfusion homepage there are numerous references to .NET and MS technology integrations.

You won’t be seeing integration with coldfusion on the asp.net homepage... ever

.NET is the complete solution plus your OOP code can be flipped from web site to web service, to PDA to windows apps and all you need to do is rebuild the UI because all of your OOP code is completely reusable.

My real world case study is I just completed a project where I moved a .NET Windows App's data access layer and business logic behind a .NET Web Service. Doing this allowed the application to be used over the internet of course.

This is the companies main application and the reason its a desktop app is because it does tons of document management which is best served through a desktop app.

Now, I'm going to take that same web service layer and build the customers application as an asp.net web site and all I need to do is complete the web UI.

No recoding of business logic as its all stuffed behind the web service and behind that is the data access layer.

Comparing coldfusion to asp.net is like comparing apple to oranges.

Comparing coldfusion to the .NET framework as a whole is like comparing apples to onions.

You dont need coldfusion to use .NET but based on Coldfusions homepage you need the ,NET framework to fully integrate with coldfusion.

Enough said, coldfusion is dead.

# re: ASP.NET vs. Cold Fusion

I do agree she needs to update this page or delete it.

TheDude ...you are wrong.  the comparison is between ASP and CF...not ASP.NET.  CF has been around a lot longer than ASP...about 4 years longer to be specific.  I've written in both and trust me, CF is ten times easier to develop web applications with than ASP.  I can do a query in one line with CF and that same query in ASP takes 15+ lines usually.

As far as the mention of .NET on the CF pages, um, yeah...its called interoperability because that is how CF was designed...to work with disseparate systems...unlike ASP which doesn't play well outside of Windows OS's.

# re: Implementing Software For Your Head

I agree that most people when they read the book have the reaction: that can't possible work.

I believed they could work, but still I was afraid to try most of them at work, untill i followed a BootCamp.

During that week I saw the protocols work.

Having seen the power of them, I have the courage to use them at work.

In a new team I still get the same reaction. This won't work "in europe", "in our company", 'in ....'

For me The biggest block was in myself.

Once I get over that block, I notice every time again they work.

The easiests to implement are "perfection game" and "ask for help".

Did you know the core is also open source?

www.mccarthyshow.com/.../TheCoreV3.pdf

Tuesday, January 06, 2009 4:00 PM by Yves Hanoulle

# re: Implementing Software For Your Head

I've had the same experience as Yves. Using check-in, perfection game, AskForHelp, they really work. One of the mistakes I think people make when looking at The Core protocols is that it's an all or nothing thing. They aren't. The protocols are tools - to be used when appropriate. If you use them, you'd be amazed at how often they are the best tool for the job in so many circumstances. But when a team is humming, they don't need to stop to execute a protocol all the time.

What is all or nothing are the Core Commitments. And if your team isn't using them at some level, I can't imagine how anything of value can get done. How can a team work well if they're not accepting the best idea no matter where it's coming from?

The real work is getting to the state of Shared Vision. It's phenomenal. I've done a few of the McCarthy bootcamps, and I've seen the teams make there every time. It's amazing what a group can accomplish once they commit to supporting each other in getting what each other wants - when the individual objective can be distilled to a universally valued virtue - like courage, love, wisdom.

# re: Dynamic Controls in ASP.NET

Hey generally I agree with the admonition about Dynamic controls. Especially for beginners. But there gets to be a point (over time) where generating controls dynamically will start to pay off and can save you TONS of time.

By the way, I think there is still not a general understanding of the ASP page lifecycle. If you are serious about coding ASP pages... you've got to understand how things work on every ASP request, behind the scenes.

Oh - you know about the life cycle? Well then you understand that EVERYTHING is .... dynamic.

# re: Unable to Start Debugging

I found something kinda interesting aboout this problem.

I had to resurrect an old 1.1 framwork web app project from backup.  After creating a new solution / project  in VS2001 and importing all the files I encountered the dreaded UTSB error.  

I poked around for a while and taking a tip from Clint's comment looked at IIS.  The virtual directory under the default web site created by Vs was set to the 2.0 framework (ASP.NET tab).  I changed that to 1.1xxxx and tried debugging the app again and it worked.  I set it back to 2.0 abnd the UTSD error reappeared.  Reset it to 1.1 and no problem!

So, if like me you have to go back to 1.1 with a new project and get the UTSB error, take a look at the ASP.NET settings.

# re: ASP.NET vs. Cold Fusion

This blog entry is seriously outdated. and for those who wrote about CF being dead, Adobe is releasing CF9 in the fall, with integration with RIA technologies.

As stated a year ago, ASP.NET works well, with itself. CF can interoperate with both Java and .NET tech, so no new code would have to be generated. CF can access .NET through a createObject() method for example.

Combined with the aforementioned smaller development time required to build a CF app, this makes CF a very useful solution for developing web applications.

For every case study for, their is a case study against. so the argument really is a moot point.

If you want a lot of learning pain, then do .Net.

If you want to get the job done, CF is just fine.

Cold Fusion is so much easier to do anything. I am taking a class in .NET right now and I can't believe all the work you have to do for the simplest things. CF gives a great advantage when the client is surprised how quickly we get things done. Use what you want, but CF is great for quick development which usually means very happy clients.

# re: ASP.NET vs. Cold Fusion

I'm converting 2 websites developed in the dot sh..tt! I started as asp developer but Microsoft doesn't respect it's technology, It has really a bad history against both the end user and developer. You can't depend or even respect a technology from theives of ideas. Let me give you example of what I mean: in 1996 Netscape navigator came with the idea of Cookies they stall it! Mozilla firefox came with the idea of Tags to browse as many sites without the need to carry on opening new windows... they made a resemblance! Microsoft immediately announced that they are not responsible of the previously FAT32 system when they launched the NTFS! They also killed VB script and asp for the dot sh..tt technology!

I really found macromedia the best and respect their products and clients... of course now macromedia belongs to adobe. Microsoft is trying to develop something to compete FLASH! they are really dreaming that Silverlight would do so! It would never!

I hate microsoft and would never respect them.

Adobe is the best among others.

# re: showModalDialog and postbacks in ASP.NET

I put the target=_self in and it worked for IE 6 but not IE 7 or 8.  so then I moved the target=_self to be the first thing in the HEAD section instead of the last thing, and then it worked for IE 7 and 8 too.  Weird. I wouldn't think it'd make a difference.

# re: ASP.NET vs. Cold Fusion

OOP is not about reuse. People used to talk about reuse, but that's a dead claim. OOP's granularity is too large for handling real-world variations on concepts (and it gets ugly to shrink OO's granularity). Whatever OOP's other benefits may be, reuse is not a valid one. The real world often doesn't fit the textbook world of OOP claims of separation and reuse.

My problem was this:

window.name=something

<form target="something">

This method worked in IE8 but not in Firefox

<form target="_self">

This method worked in Firefox but not in IE8

I could only support one of the two browsers! Until...

<base target="_self" />

This works for both IE8 and Firefox 3.6

Thank you very much, Marcie!

If your application is using impersonation, the identity should have access to this directory.  On windows server 2008/vista/7 put the identity in the IIS_IUSRS group.
