I am currently running Visual Studio.NET 2003. Yet in a Windows Application I'm noticing in the form resource file, that it lists Mscorlib Version 1.0.0.5000.0. That doesn't seem right to me. Should it map to Version 1.1? I'm also having some strange behavior in the form. I only have one...

Microsoft claims there is a huge difference between the versions. I wanted to get some feedback from those who have actually used it. Is there at this time a real need to switch to the newest version and what are some of the advantages of using the new version? Is there a lot involved in...

The borders I select for a field do not display when there is a null value or empty value in a field. This happens despite the fact I have explicitly mapped the field to have borders. How can I correct this behavior? Thanks

I have compiled a HTML Help file and I am trying to display context-senstive help in a web form, using the window.showHelp function. However, the help file doesn't display and I get an error on the page. The Help File works correctly for a windows app, so I know it's not the Help File. What...

I am looking for an intermediate to advanced book on ASP.NET. I've made the mistake of buying some books in the past that didn't suit my needs. It seems there are so few good .NET books out there. These are the requirements I have for this book: 1- contains C# examples 2- uses Visual...

I have a text field that delimits using a tab character. For example, the field will have one data item, a tab character, another data item, another tab character. What I want to do is iterate through the field character by character and when I get to a tab character I add the data between the...

I was recently offered a job with a company as a mid-level C# developer. I am still in the midst of considering whether I am going to take it or not. Some of the things that went on during the interview made me very cautious of taking the job, and I wanted to hear some feedback from others who...

I am dynamically filling combo boxes on an unbound form. I know with a VB/SQL Server/ADO setup you can loop through several recordsets by calling the NextRecordset method. However, I have not been able to figure out how to do this with an Access frontend and Access backend, with either ADO or...

I'm not sure if this is posting to the right forum. I recently went for an interview for a mid-level C# developer. They asked me stuff about reflection, can you inherit from a string, if a string had 1GB of data in it, should it be passed by value or reference, how is a string an immutable...

How does one set the tab order of a webform of text boxes? This may seem like a stupid question, but setting the tab indexes seems to have no impact. I set the properties on these text boxes as autopostback to false, as well as setting viewstate to false? This is a login form so I don't want...

For some reason I am not able to link to another page with the link button. I call something like Response.Redirect("Default.aspx") and it just hangs. I'm using the click event. However, if I just use a regular html anchor tag I'm able to go to the other page? I also have this problem with...

Some may find this story funny... so I thought I would post it. I have been looking for a job for about a month. I have a job now, but am looking for a new challenge. I was called by a recruiter looking for a developer. He listed the job qualifications as VB 6.0, ASP, COM, DCOM, HMTL, DHMTL...

I'm looking for a way to bind a combo box to a hash table or dictionary class. I'm basically trying to load a combo box with unbound data from a datareader.

Please excuse if this question has been asked before. I'm looked to do a Fiscal Year Crosstab where the Column Headers would be the Fiscal Year. How would I go about this? Thanks in advance.

If I have a field in a table that serves as a lookup field to another table, should I index the field in both the main table and the lookup table? Or should I just index the related field in the main table? I did not know if having an index in both tables amounts to double indexing. Thanks in...

I have been using mostly datareader with command objects to load data on webforms from a dataset. I then update, delete or insert using a command object with stored procedure. I recently went on an interview for an ASP.NET position and they were looking for someone to convert existing ASP to...

I am currently running XP Professional on a laptop. I have 512 MB RAM. By default it says 753 MB have been devoted to my page file. Since I never get to a point of paging, I have heard that reducing the initial page file size and setting a high max page file size is advisable. Also, is...

I've had the unpleasant experience of dealing with IT Recruiting firms of late and have wondered if it's just me or recruiters in general. It seems to me they are like used-car salesmen. Or they give you ridiculous BrainBench tests that have no particular relevance to a real IT job and base...

I was wondering if there are third-party free IDE's for .NET or namely C# for building Windows applications. My present workplace would like to use .NET but doesn't want to pay for the license yet. I know there are free IDE's with ASP.NET, such as Web Matrix. Thanks in advance. Writing out...
