How to get answer to your question:

Sorry, I don't know anything about CSMA/CD. But if you want help from those who do know, you better reformulate your question.

Good day.
First, I have to ask, to please excuse my English.
I have an aspx page with 5 comboboxes on it. The 2nd combobox's details is dependand on the 1st one's selectedValue and combobox 3,4 and 5 is dependand on combobox2's selectedValue. Auto-postback is enabled on both combobox 1 & 2.
Whenever I choose a value in combobox 1, the data in combobox 2 gets updated and the first item in combobox2 is automatically selected. The problem with this is that data in combobox 3, 4 & 5 is dependant om the selectedValue of combobox2 and also needs to be updated with the new selectedValue of combobox2, but it does not get updated when the selectedValue of combobox2 changes as a result of the change in combobox1.
The problem exists when a users choice is the value already selected in combobox2, then the data for comboboxes 3, 4 & 5 aren't populated correctly.
It doesn't help disabling of hiding comboboxes 3-5 and only enabling it when the selectedValue of combobox2 changes, because the user will still click on the same value already selected, and the event will not fire.
I also tried adding a "empty" value to the combobox and selecting it as default, but this will lead to a foreign key violation in the databse.
The question is...
Is there a way, that I can (without adding an empty entry in the database - bad practise) set the initial selected item to a blank entry, thereby forcing the user to change the selected index?
I'm currently using ASP.Net 2.0 and the back-end code is in C#. I believe it can be solved with the back-end code, this is why I posted it to the C# and ASP.Net section.I can make use of Javascript, but the application I'm developing doesn't work all to well with AJAX.
Thanks in advance.

Just noticed this is a report from another forum. DON'T DO IT!!
Combobox.Items.Insert(0, "");
Make sure you do this after an databind for the combobox. Alternatively, you could add an item to the collection that you are binding the combobox to. Not the database, the dataset or datatable returned.
only two letters away from being an asset

jdstuart,
ComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1;

Hi all,
I've finally come to the point where I have to start implementing reports in my applications. The name Crystal Reports pops up regularly but I don't know the first thing about it.
Could someone point me in the direction of some online tutorials or something that can get me started perhaps? I'm not even sure where to start.
Also, is Crystal Reports the way to go and what are my other alternatives?
Thanks in advance

Crystal Reports is not bad, you could do worse.
Here's a bunch of tutorials off of google: Clickety[^]

google.jo? 
All that text stacked on the right side of the screen makes me feel uncomfortably.

Crystal and its ilk are designed to do rather advanced things and may not be the right tool for doing simple things. I prefer XML with XSLT for simple reports.

I've worked with Crystal Reports (XI I think) a while ago.
It's pretty powerful and it integrates in .Net pretty easy.
You do need a good deal of IT knowledge though. The best is that you buy a book. Internet tutorials are more for reference. (IMO)
good luck.

I find u$ report server easier to use the crystal and the complexidy of crystal really doesn't buy you all that much.

After using Crystal for almost 10 years I am able to do the most simplest tasks with it. I don't know why so many people cut it 
Crystal is easy once you learn its quirks. http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/WinForms/XtraReports/[^]
Is also a popular option these days.

hi
help me how to change the color of a readonly textbox and a Disabled combobox contrl to look like a normal one.
<br />
comboBox1.Enabled = false;<br />
comboBox1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;<br />

First of all, why? The point behind making a control appear disabled is to stop the users from interacting with it.
Anyways.
You can't do it directly. It will always be gray. However, you can create your own control that inherits from the combobox and you can change that any way you please.
Post back if you need more help or vote if this answers your question.

This[^] has a way of doing it at the bottom of the page. The code is VB but should be easy enough to translate to C#.

This Walkthrough will cover how to create the inherited control.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5h0k2e6x(VS.80).aspx[^]
Then, you'll have to handle the OnEnabledChanged event in your inherited control and take it from there. What you'll need is to either maintain the look and feel of the control or make it so that it is read only.
[edit]
Or read Davey's response, he gave you the whole she-bang!

This is a guess, but I think you can do it by overriding the OnPaint method.

Hello experts,
I'm making a matching program that will match the customer name. For that
I have a datatable with all customer names. I want to make them upper before matching how i can do that...?
I'm using
foundCustomerRows = Datatable.Select("CustomerFullName = '" + strCustomerToPost.ToString().Toupper() + "'");
Is there any property to make Select ( ucase(CustomerFullName) =....?
Or there is any other way to make all the column upper in a data table when you match the data...?
Please help...
Regards
Pankaj Joshi
If you want to shape your dreams into reality, please wake-up...

I've never used it but I believe you need UPPER(CustomerFullName)

Use the database for that query and not the dataset. Some databases have the option to enable case sensitive or insensitive searches. Also the ability to do the choice in the where clause.

I have created a C# application with a main window which does not have a frame and - consequently - no system menu (no menu at all). I managed to have a taskbar button displayed which shows the application's main window title.
The bad part is that this taskbar button does not show any menu. To my knowlegde, that is because the main window does not have a system menu. But -- is there a way to create a popup menu in the taskbar button?
Thanks in advance.
Paul
