Sorry Mark - they would see hello in a bold font. I am thinking that I will probably present the teaser unformatted then have the formatted version displayed on mouse over.

At the moment it looks like this <asp:Literal ID="LiteralCommentary" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("incidents_commentary") %>' /> using a regular expression I can work out what the string would be with no mark up private string RemoveHTMLTags(string strHTMLFragement) {...

It's encoded in the database

I have a grid view on a web form (c#) in which there is a template field which is linked to a comments field in an SQL database which contains text formatted as an HTML fragment. This field can get quite long so I am trying to return a substring of the this formatted HTML (for example the first...

Many thanks - I appreciate your help.

Hi I haven't used XSLT for ages so apologies for this... I have an XML document created by a database which maps out files and folders i.e. <root> <folder name=”folder 1”> <file name=”file 1”> <file name=”file 2”> </folder> <folder name=”folder 2”> <folder name=”folder 2a”> <file...

Hi Jason I am not under any illusions about performance. My thoughts are that it is better for the end user to be looking at a loading gif rather than the alternative. I have just found this http://blog.jeromeparadis.com/archive/2007/03/01/1501.aspx which I hope should should give the desired...

Thanks Jason I agree with what you are saying however if at all possible I would like to keep the ajax in place - can you see anyway of firing some javascript after an update panel has updated? The action that is taking place while the update panel is updating is the execution and exporting of...

Hi I have an update panel which has an async trigger which is a button which sits outside of the panel and during the VB event handler for the button a file is created on the web server. What I am trying to achieve is the "open /save" box that I get with my standard...

Cheers for this you are quite right about it being a public url, I will probably take your comments on board. For anyone else looking at this the execute scaler method doesn't quite work although I am merging the code above and the code this code taken from the good people at microsoft, which...

My intention was to reuse the code using something like this <asp:xml runat="server" id="myid" DocumentSource="mypage.aspx?sql=EXEC myprocedure" TransformSource="xslt/mystylesheet.xsl"/> So the query string wouldn't be at the surface - I am rather assuming at the moment that this would work...

I am currently upgrading a site from ASP classic to ASP.net (which is learning experiance for me), that relies heavily on SQL server 'FOR XML' stored procedures, which are used to create components all over the site. it is my intention to create on page which has a query string called "sql"...

I am trying to write a simple command line tool in VB to export crystal reports to pdfs. It's a bit of work in progress but I can't for the life of me seem to get parameters to work. an example of the command line syntax is "C:\runme.exe" /input="c:\myreport.rpt" /output="C:\test.pdf"...

Cheers- thats got it working

I am sure this must be quite straight forward but I can't seem to find an example on the net. I have half written a console application to export a crystal report as a pdf, but want to be able to pass the input report, output pdf, and any report parameters from a batch file so it might look...
