Popup with .Net (The finale)

 

Jesse you were right ! Why doing things complicated when you can make life so simple.

In my popup dilemna, I was doing the wrong thing, trying to fight against the client side opening window ;-)

Now it's cleverly good. I save the vote after the button event is fired and I open the popup window only after. so easy ;-)

Private Sub but_click_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles but_click.Click

' I do my databse update there ...
.
.
.

' And OI open the window just after

Dim MyScript As New StringBuilder

MyScript.Append(" ")

Page.RegisterStartupScript("opener", MyScript.tostring)

End Sub

But I will try later on the first solution (just for the fun) from Jesse.

Opening the window first and from a Javascript function in the popup fire the event in the caller page.

Pocket PC keeps tabs on smoke

 

A device that allows people to monitor the damage passive smoking is doing to them could add fuel to the debate over whether smoking should be banned in public places.

Dublin-based researchers at the Media Lab Europe are developing a wearable gadget that takes readings of the amount of carbon monoxide and other particles given off by cigarette smoke.

It will allow people, especially those that work in smoky environments, to see how much damage passive smoking is doing them.

Media Lab Europe's smoking monitoring system"Once a bartender knows how much he is inhaling, it might change his opinion on a ban," Jamie Rasmussen, a researcher at Media Lab Europe told the BBC's Go Digital programme.
