• Re: Web application project or Web site project which is "better"?

  I must admit I prefer the old style model where you can exclude files etc. Is a website project slower for larger projects? Thanks, Alex

• Web application project or Web site project which is "better"?

  Hi, We are a bit confused as to which web project type is best to use. Currently we have a number of large projects in the old style with .vbproj files. These have been upgraded to VS2008 web application projects. Compilation seems slower of upgraded projects than created from scratch web site projects. I do get the impression MS is pushing the new style format for future releases. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the new web site project? Where do references get stored in the new style project

• Why does writing a file to browser not work in vista but does in xp

  Hi, I have written some code that writes files content to the browser window. This works great in XP but not in IE on Vista for some reason. I just get a page cannot be displayed error in vista. Code below: Response.Clear() Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + Path.GetFileName(objLinkedFile.OriginalFileName)) If objFileInfo.Extension.ToUpper.IndexOf("PDF") > -1 Then Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" Else Response.ContentType

• Re: GridView how efficient is sqldatasource rather than binding directly?

  Okay have I just checked and it doesnt expose the SQL on the page source or in the viewstate so for those posters who say it does I would like to know how, just because you write it in the source code doesnt mean it will be generated in the HTML. Still think it would be great if these features were included out the box as its non trivial to add some of these yourself. Thanks, Alex

• Re: GridView how efficient is sqldatasource rather than binding directly?

  Lotuzwine you can dynamically create them (example at the beginning of thread). So does it expose the SQL statement or doesnt it? Its not something I have used before hence the question about the disadvantages of using it. So far the disadvantages I can see of using it seem to be: It may or may not expose SQL statement You cant bind it to DataSet or DataTable but SP or SQL calls direct which is a bit messy I dont see why the gridview doesnt have inbuilt functionality like sorting and paging. Okay

  Hi KS2007. Thanks I am aware of this. Just wondered if there was a short cut to get the sorting and paging without having to write it.

• Re: GridView how efficient is sqldatasource rather than binding directly?

  Thanks for the replies. I think I will have to look around or write a control to accomplish this. I was quite excited when I heard about the gridview with inbuilt paging and sorting (but only if you use one of the source objects!). Seems a shame really as I wouldnt want to use anything that exposes SQL in an enterprise application and its annoying you cant bind the source objects to a dataset or datatable.

• GridView how efficient is sqldatasource rather than binding directly?

  Hi, My understanding is that to use the inbuilt sorting and paging methods of the grid view it needs to be bound to one of the datasource objects something like SQLDataSource. I know paging, sorting etc can be done programmatically without this. Performance wise is there much of a hit for using the datasource with something like the below code? Is it possible to bind a sqldatasource to a datatable or dataset rather than declare the select or sp in the sqldatasource? string connStr = ""
