I had similar problems myself when trying to use Access with ASP.NET several months ago. I never could get it to work so I switched to MySQL. I would rather have gone with SQL Server, but the web site I was working on has two stipulations: 1. Must use Microft ASP technology instead of PHP and 2...

I always have this book near at hand. Its an excellent source of ideas on how to model data, quite readable and reasonably compact. Just be aware that you will not always need to be nearly as detailed in your implementations as the models in the book...

I'm kind of guessing its that one driver update that's in there.

Ditto I use the basic shape of the code blocks to quickly get a sense of the flow. This is why it nearly drove me insane when I had to look at some code several other people had written that inluded If...Then statements written in just about every possible format known to man. And some...

The answer to your questions, and a few more questions you haven't asked yet can be found on 4 Guys From Rolla Specifically this article will help you out: Creating A Data Bound Droplist Very good stuff there. Espcially if you have no access to VS.NET and don't like Web Matrix and have...

I was just thinking along the same lines as you drakken. The case could probobly still have some infernal red type lighting and some UV going at the same time. The paint would still flouresce, but I don't know about the color. Can you get a decent red flouescent paint that glows but doesn't look...

I use template columns almost exclusively for the degree of control they give you over the contents. Here is a quick example of code I use to get a value in a column. Sub PolicyList_OnUpdateCommand (sender as Object, e as DataListCommandEventArgs) Dim PolicyMasterID as String =...
