Hi Suzy - As I read your second sentence I thought this needs to be a Singleton and was all geared up to tell you to scrap your original idea and use a Singleton. It seems that you pretty much solved this problem yourself though which is great!

Object orientated design patterns are solutions to common problems which someone else has already solved - often a long time ago and often they have been used and tested and validated for a long time by many developers.

One of the design patterns is a Singleton.

Although yours isn't quite the defined standard, it is indeed a Singleton. In fact there are many ways of coding a singleton which have pros and cons.

If you are serious about C# then design patterns are an absolute must. There are two really famous books on them which are:

This site is also good:

And this guy does amazing videos on design patterns but they are in Java. Its easy enough to follow though as its a very simmilar language and its more about how you create objects and make them work together:

Re: how to close a popup when submit to post?

This is off the top of my head but I think you can assign your window to a variable eg:

var myWin = window.open("add_address.php...

then later I think you can go myWin.close()

Re: Storing data on posting data

"how do we coincide this with the loading of the target page" - I've explained how - do you undersand what it is I am suggesting?

User clicks button
Posts to your page - persist data here
Page is rendered to user with form
Form automatically submits via JavaScript to other page
Otherpage does its stuff and redirects back to you
On final page grab username from however you stored it.

Ok?

Re: Storing data on posting data

Ok I see.

How about instead of posting directly to this page, you post to your own page and this then posts to the other page. This has given you an extra trip to your server then you can choose from a multitude of options for persisting data.

The new intermedary page I am suggesting could render a page back to the user with Javascript which makes it post as soon as its loaded. The content of this page could be something sensible to let the user know something is being processed.

Another option is to use ajax. When the user clicks submit, before posting to otherpage, make a call to the server and again choose from your persistence options.

Make sense?

Re: Storing data on posting data

You wrote:

"I do not redirect to the target page. "OtherPage" while doing its thing reads the hidden target variable from the request object and redirects to the target page."

The last part of this paragraph reads "and redirects to the target page".

Question - how do you redirect to the target page?

If you can't answer this time you will not hear from me again!

Re: Storing data on posting data

Sorry I wasn't very clear. Let me summarise how I see things.

You have a page with a form which posts to "otherpage"

"otherpage" does some stuff and then "redirects to the target page that I send"

So my questionis how are you redirecting to this target page?

Re: HTML/CSS - Perhaps if some has time they can look this over

If you hit F12 in most browsers you will get some developer functionality. You can click on any element and then it will show you all they styles and where they are coming from etc - very useful for debugging CSS issues.

Re: Error when saving to access database

The code under the hood will be generating an insert statement and that is where the problem is. Do all of these dsnewrow.Item("Title") match database column names exactly - the spaces may be an issue?
