Hey everyone,

I've already been a member of this website for a few days and made some posts. I couldn't find this place so I didn't know where to look really :P

Well so far it seems like a nice place, I've been visiting a little longer since my google searches often lead me here and when I felt I really should join a software development community/forum I thought of joining this place since it has forums for almost every language and even some Linux forums.

Anyway, I hope to be able to help people and of course also hope that people might help me if I need it.

See you around :)

Well then I'd say either set the width of the TD ( <td style="width: 123px;">text</td> ) or use the overflow property ( <td style="overflow: scroll;">text</td> )

Are you saying that you would like the data in a <TD> tag not to expand when you enter a lot of data into them?

if so you might want to try <td style="overflow: scroll;">?

Can I install Visual Studio 2005?? Will it be enough to develop the application??
Since i asp.net would have to be used with C# or VB, this means that i'll have to learn both C# and asp.net???

You can install Visual Studio 2005, then you'll use .Net 2.0 which is still very widely used. Of course if you want to use SQL Server you'll have to install that aswell (might be included in VS2005)

Basically you learn C# and ASP.Net is mostly the markup <asp:DataGrid id="someid" runat="server"></asp:DataGrid> and such things, sometimes using <%= this.ClientID %> and such which in the end is all still either C# or VB

I'd say you'd need some version of Visual Studio (like Visual Web Developer Express) and SQL Server (SQL Server Express, which should be installed along with web developer, though you can of course use MySQL as well)

You can use c# or VB code just like you would JavaScript (in special script tags), but ASP.Net does need either VB or C# code and it is not recommended (anymore) to keep your actual code in the same file as your ASP markup.

The way I tested it it works fine if you don't use a label but a HiddenField

I think I would try

<asp:Image ID="Image2" runat="server" 
         ImageUrl='~\\Images\\thumbnail\\<%# Eval("brand") + "\\" + Eval("thumbnail")%>' />

, or something in that nature...
