I'm currently working on 4, using the book for 70-515. There are quite a few differences between 3.5 and 4, but from my experiences, most people assume that if you know 4, then you know 3.5 already too. My company only use 2.0 still, and we're trying to convince the …

I am unaware of any version control software that keeps track of database items. Being as stored procedures are compiled, I would say it's nearly impossible. You could however, keep track of your scripts to create stored procedures in each of your apps and list them as being part of …

If you want to limit your audience to windows users, then a client side app would be the way to go. Otherwise ASP.NET with either an XML or SQL data store. For front end, you could do a Silverlight app that connects to ASP.NET web-service for data, or package the …

That's the first time I've seen CSS code split up by property, instead of by object. Another thing to look at with layouts like this is the clear property. [CODE] #header,#footer {width:100%; clear:both;} [/CODE] This will force the headers and footers to be on a line by themselves. Anything before …

If you can create users through your app, why do you need the admin tool? Me personally, I don't much care for the Admin tool, and just made my own pages within my sites to maintain users. 4 Guys from Rolla has a really neat tutorial for an Admin logging …

Looking at your site, one way you could optimize would be to transition away from using tables as extensively as you are. If you use Div tags with the Float and clear css properties set correctly, you can gain the same effect. Removing redundant code would help too. I would …

In an effort to give back to the community, I'd like to start writing tutorials. I'm just not sure what topics to start with, or what topics are generally needed. I'd rather not duplicate a topic already covered on other tutorial sites, but I know I could put a different …

I have a suggestion for marking threads as solved. This may be available already, but I don't know how on here to do it. If we could mark a specific response to a thread as the solution, I think that will help people find answers to common questions a little …

If you already know the HTML to play the wav file, you can insert a literal string containing hard coded HTML, and just concatenate your variable in containing the path to the wav file. If you wrap the whole thing in a AJAX update panel, you can achieve an almost …

Also, you could wrap all your text in <p></p> tags, as they automatically get a newline between them and any other objects. When I've done things like this, I set up an HTML template via code, and just input variables into the template, then sent it.

The likelihood that you would be able to actually take an existing idea on the net, and create a new service or company to compete with the existing giants is highly improbably. Not saying impossible. Now, if you were to have a new, never been done before idea, that a …

If all your values are present at form load, then you don't need to do this in code behind. just set the url on the link on your .aspx page to being ./product_details.aspx?CategoryID=<%= (Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["CategoryID"])).ToString() %>&SubcatID=<%= (Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["SubcatID"])).ToString() %>&product_id=<%= (Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["PRODUCT ID TOGO HERE"])).ToString() %>

I've been using DaniWeb off and on for a few years now, but this is the most active I've been with it. I realized today, that out of my numerous postings and replies, I've not yet introduced myself. I go by Fortinbra everywhere I can online. Even my PSN(playstation network …

Which version of Vista are you running? Side Question, Windows 7 has been out for over a year now, why are you using Vista?

This can be done relatively simply using JavaScript and CSS. As far as the differences, I would define them as follows: Slideshow would take up a majority of the viewable page, and automatically transition from image to image on a set timer. A gallery would allow you to view multiple …

I've seen a need for something like this for awhile, and I bet there are plenty of programmers on here that would be willing to take a crack at making a custom app to do this. Actually, I'd be willing to do it, even make it open source. Dropbox does …

In the last few years, a number of new technologies have popped up, died, shifted, etc. DaniWeb here has kept up with the changes, and I am grateful. There is a new technology though that has, to my surprise, actually taken off, and is making a name for itself. I …

I'm curious. I've been taught when is the proper time for XML, and when it's better to use SQL. I know what the text book says about it, what does the IT real world say about it? When would you use SQL vs. using XML?

In your web.config file, keep two different connection strings stored, then just change which one is being used based off of your environment. At work, we have 3 tiers to publishing our sites, development, pre-production, and production. Each one has it's own database server, so we simply keep 3 connections …

The div tag that you want centered need to have a defined width, then set the margins to auto. I would surround your two divs that you want centered, give this new div a definite width (no percentages), then sit it's margins to auto. OR if you're not concerned with …
