So after my complaining about SharePoint documentation you might be wondering how to get some good SharePoint training. Well the answer is pretty clear cut. You get training from Barracuda.NET , a company run by Ted Pattison and Jason Masterman both former...

While I ordinarily set AutoGenerateColumns = false on ASP.NET DataGrids, I finally found a pretty good use for them. I had a result set that was coming back with a variable number of columns all of which need to be display. I thought what a perfect use...
