For anyone who has used DevExpress's ASPxGrid. (the latest version)
My aspx webpage has 2 components...a menu component and the ASPxGrid component.
The idea is...whenever I click on my menu item, the datagrid should be filled up with new data from different tables based on the menu-item clicked.
But, whenever I do that, the grid control is not being rendered completely. This seems to be a problem with the way ASPxGrid handles postbacks...
Anyone help on this would be highly appreciated.
Not the first time to be noticing this......but whenever I install Yahoo Messenger on any computer.....it brings out this wizard screen and all of us geeks use the "custom" installation hoping that we can install only the stuff we need...typically the messenger only and ignore all the other stuff (yahoo internet mail, explorer bar, etc) and click on "Next"....and if the wizard took our input properly, then we would have seen only the messenger installed and nothing else....and technically....we live happily ever after.
But NO....yahoo does not do that....though I UN-CHECK the checkboxes against everything else except messenger, they still get installed....so much so...that it is not even covert....it does it right infront of ur eyes. The progress bar boldly says that it is installing the explorer bar, internet mail, etc...... too much honesty.
Giving it a benefit of the doubt, I go ahead and check the "Add/Remove Programs section "... just to be sure......and ya....they are there too.... Everytime I have to uninstall the explorer bar and the yahoo mail from my system....does anyone @ yahoo messenger team even know that their "step-by-step wizard" has not been properly programmed?
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
After a bit too much of procastination , I started off installing CruiseControl.NET along with its goodies(nant, nunit, fxcop and ndoc) on my system. Promising myself that I would go very methodically , I started off working with nant, and it was great....then came nunit....great too.... The sky started falling when I tried to run my unit tests using nunit via nant.
Seems.....(grrrrrrrrrrrrr)....nant 0.84 does not have support for nunit 2.2. This has been fixed in the next version....but still....what the heck.....is there any other way this problem can be fixed?
Googling around tells me that I can run the unit tests from CruiseControl itself....but it is highly deprecated.
I am trying really hard to get the folks in my company to use these open source tools and get into the style of having continuous integration habits....but with this....I am kinda stuck.
My universe consists of 4 million+ records. If I were to compare one record against the universe, how much time would I take using SQL Server 2000?
First there was a citibank email scam .... asking users for their passwords...and now there is an ebay email scam. By the looks of it, this scammer looks kinda funny. Either he/she is working with ebay or just playing around...i am still unable to figure out. I got a bunch of mails from “The ebay team“ asking me to update my info...because “someone apparently tried to log in with my account too many times“....and again....I never registered this mail acct with ebay.
First, i get mail from ebay to an account that i never gave to ebay....well..lets say our guy used a standard email broadcast technique...
Secondly....instead of taking me to a login (or similar looking) page, i am directed to a “Register” page.
Well...did not go beyond that...but....come on....is that the best they've got...asking you to register???
A few months back, I developed a test app at office using ChartFX and VB.NET....a standard windows application....Everything was working just fine....and I wanted to demo it to my boss. Boss comes over...and I try and run the program....once....worked fine...and then made some change in the code and then tried to run it again...and well....worked again.....then i closed the solution....and opened it again after maybe 2 mins....and tadaaa......”VS.NET ate my controls from the desinger view:”...literally.....right infront of my eyes..... I saw the designer flash by and show the controls and the next moment...they were gone.... A lot of googling did not seem to help either.....and I ended up reformatting my system.
Now...all this happened right infront of my boss.....and what more would I require to prove Murphy's law “Things go wrong at the worst possible time”. all this happens after toiling hard enough all day and hoping that my boss wont find any bugs....
Whatz even more weird...all the related code for the controls in the code-behind is gone too....and the solution still compiles still fine....and on an attempt to run it...it just shows a blank screen. Its like......magic....(grrrrrr).
And now....while browsing through some blogs, I bump into a related article....on VS.NET designer issues
Windows Update Client gives problems if you shut down the machine whilst it is downloading the updates. So, I change the settings for the updater to download and notify me of the updates and not to install them. The issue here being that for some reason, the update client keeps trying to download something that has already been downloaded. Remember that this happens when you shut down the system when the updater is downloading something in the background. Like that was not enough, it hogs the system resources so much that even a regular copy operations takes ages. Obvious course of action was to kill the update client process...but NO...it wont allow me to kill the process either. Access Denied...even for admin.
Turns out my roomie also encountered this same issue a while ago...and he ended up formatting his system. That time I blamed it on his system being slow....but it was not to be the same case for me.
Well...Norton Ghost to the rescue. Made an intial back up of my system..when I first installed it....and it came to about 20G...ya ya...it is almost all the software a developer would ever need...well..most of it atleast. Using my breaks from TV to backup my MyDocuments and my favorites, (which literally took 5-6hrs on a machine with 1.5G RAM)... I tried for the first time ever to load my backup image from Norton Ghost 9.0....and wolla....15 mins....my machine was back up and running. Well...turned off the automatic updates this time....and everything seems to be working like a charm again.
Moral of the story:
Allowing Windows to automatically manage updates.....3-4hrs of torture.
Trying to back up while the update client is running in the background.....5hrs.
Using Norton Ghost to restore your system in 15mins....PRICELESS.
I worked on the Updater Block before ... and by the looks of the symptoms, it sure looks like a polished implementation of the UAB. Looking forward to it being implemented properly with ClickOnce.
I find this absolutely weird. I have an "active" gmail account with receiving and sending atleast 10 mails a day. And someonewhere on the left side of gmail page, I have these invites to friends.
As much as I want to give out those invites to people, I am simply unable to do so.
I click on the link, no response.
I change my browser, and try again...still no response.
I reboot the system, and try again...still no response.
I literally try the above at office...and still no response.......
Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone with any solutions?
Pss...i have tried the standard browser troubleshooting stuff.......cleaned up cache...deleted temp internet files....bla bla bla bla.....
Ok... I read the “Coder to Developer” book and am inspired to use a source-code/version control system. So... I do some research on the net...and come up with a whole load of articles that dont stick to one unanimous decision of what is the best and free at the same time.
Apart from Visual Source Safe 6.0, does anyone use any other application that is good (not that VSS 6.0 is any good).
So..I installed Sauce Reader a couple of weeks back...took a week's vacation...and finally am back to using SauceReader...and I finally decided to un-install it. It takes too much memory...which is highly annoying. OmeaReader works just fine for the reader part. I guess I have to develop my own writer for my blogs.
For what its worth...I would prefer Tomato Sauce anyday over Sauce Reader...lol
I dont know if it is a problem with my account or my machine. After I login to gmail, it just does not load my inbox. What does it do...it just keeps redirecting itself over and over again. Something more like an infinite loop. Anyone else encountered this issue??
Herez what is kinda going on:
1. Open gmail.com page
2. Provide ur usn/pwd.
3. Click login.
4. It should now redirect ONCE to your inbox and load it...but it does not.
a. Redirect to inbox page.
b. Load inbox page.
BUT WHAT's REALLY HAPPENNING IS:
4. a. Redirect to inbox page.
b. Go back to 4.a.
