• .NET Development How to hide specific row after postback?

  When you use the old asp and were presenting a detail view you might choose to not show a table row by setting the style display attribute to none which takes it out of the html. You might do this where a form was being filled in. For example you ask whether a person is under 17 or over 17. If under 17 you might choose to not display the table row that asks for their driver’s license number. In asp you would use Javascript and do a getElementbyID for the row in question and set the style attribute display to none. I am trying to find the srver side asp.net2 equivalent to set a specific table row style display to none using server side VB after doing a postback. i.e. not using J ...Show All

• SQL Server The Fastest way to perform an update ... advice needed :)

  Hi all, I have a situation where my Visual C# application presents a number of fields. In order to update a student object, I wish to call a stored proc. 1 or more fields can be updated... And If one is left null, then I don't want to update it, but instead I want to keep the old value. I am really wondering if I am approaching this the right way. The following stored proc does what I want it to do, however I'm thinking there may be a faster way... Here it is: -- Update a student, by ID. DROP PROCEDURE p_UpdateStudent CREATE PROCEDURE p_UpdateStudent @ID INT , @NewFName VARCHAR ( 25 ), @NewOName VARCHAR ( 25 ), @NewLName VARCHAR ( 25 ), @NewDOB DATETIME , @NewENumber VARCHAR ( 10 ), ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Web Service hangs on response above a given byte size

  I basically have a map service that returns a byte array of a map image. If the image size is around 32K or less everything works fine. If the image size gets above that the client simply hangs - and eventually times out - waiting for a response. On the service side it looks like everything runs ok (it gets past the return statement). To be complete, I was originally *always* getting an error that the response was too large for the XML reader (or something like that). I fixed this by adjusting the <readerQuotas maxArrayLength="1024000" /> attribute.

• Visual Studio Adding new language service (the best way)

  Dear forum, I want write a language service, but I don't know what is it the better solution: 1. Using Managed Babel System based on Managed Package Lex (MPLEX) Scanner Generator and Managed Package Parser Generator (MPPG) like in ManagedMyC example or 2. Using the Default Babel Implementation based on IBabelService Interface, Bison and Flex like in My C Package example. What do you think about Maybe the second way (Default Babel Implementation) could be more dificult on writing their services Maybe could be more secure Thanks for any answer or help! Julian.
