    Unique Values In Drop Down List

    it's a different language, vba is a scripting language where .net is a compiled language. there are strengths and weaknesses of each. try to resist the urge to treat .net like VBA. It's difficult because we default to what we know and assume it should be the same, but it's not. the same would...

    validation of a property

    there are 2 parts to this question: 1. where to validate and 2. how to validate. where: client or server? always validate on the server as you should never trust the user's input (response). client validation is a nicety that improves the user experience, but it doesn't replace server...

    Unit test frameworks

    xunit, nunit and mbunit are the big three. there is also mspec, but I think that is built on top of one of these, I could be wrong. I would avoid MS Test. compare to the rest of the options it's too little too late. all of them work with the testrunner.net VS plug-in. nunit also has built in...

    Creating Web Site Forms

    if you are using front page, then you're using MS products. Being that your new to development, WebMatrix may be a good choice. but if you don't undestand programming, then no server side processing will be easy to grasp. Jason Meckley Senior Programmer faq855-7190 faq732-7259 My Blog

    VS2010 C#/Web, Drop Down Listbox question

    out of the box no, this is purely an html issue. it has nothing to do with webforms. what you can do is use javascript to increase the width of the html element when it has focus. jquery library makes working with js easier. Jason Meckley Senior Programmer faq855-7190 faq732-7259 My Blog

    crystal report 9 comptible with visual studio 2005?

    How to troubleshoot emptry Crystal Report

    a report is another form of UI and therefore difficult, if not impossible to test/debug other than manually producing the output and verifying the results. to minimize the UI foot print you can use design techniques to abstract the UI away from the logic and data, there by allowing you greater...

    Ajax cache update

    the two are separate concepts. fetching data, and how much data to fetch has nothing to do with presenting the data. so whether you fetch 20 records or 20K records the page should behave the same. However you shouldn't be fetching 20K records at once. the user doesn't want to deal with 20K...

    asynchrounous webservice method and AJAX

    so have it check in smaller intervals. like every 30 seconds or every x minutes. this is acceptable for a web UI, even a desktop UI really. what do you mean? i don't see where the session ends in this code. and by making repeated ajax calls via the timer you will keep the user's session alive...
