hi guys ,here is the solution to your problem

if you are not able to create ASPWEBAPPLICATION -:

when u create new webapplication project the Default url which come is localhost/webapplicationname where localhost points to port 80 just change it to localhost:portnumber and then u should be able to create a webapplication.

if you are not able to open your existing site in server then there can be DNS mismatch the ipaddress given in url will be of DNS IP just change it to localhost IP . Your web application should run fine

cheers

re: Valid date-time values in sql server. SqlDateTime vs DateTime

Instead of casting SqlDateTime.MinValue (which returns a SqlDateTime) you could also use SqlDateTime.MinValue.Value, which converts the SqlDateTime to a regular DateTime.

Paw,

I'm not very happy for such a solution as it requires some external code to understand what's in your database.

FI, the moment you start approaching your db with nHibernate (rather sooner than later) theres is going to be some hacking to do..

I stoped using SQL DateTime a long time ago, unless I really need it for a SP. I save them as varchar and write my own converters to handle the conversion to eg. C#.

The format could be yyyyMMdd-hhmmss or yyyyMMddhhmmss. That way you can still do an ORDER BY on them.

re: Smartnavigation not so smart when it comes to a Response.Redirect

Larry that's just bullshit.

Have you seen what they did with smartnavigation in asp.NET 2.0 ?

That's quite more than just a workaround or fix,

I've found that storing DateTime.MaxValue can cause trouble on comparison as well. Here's the extension method that I use for this:

public static class DateTimeExtensions

{

public static DateTime ToSQLDateTime(this DateTime dt)

{

return new DateTime(dt.Ticks - (dt.Ticks % 10000000));

}

I don't think the Microsoft people are paid to "fix" code, but rather to create convoluted work-arounds. It's like a leaky pipe. You or I would replace the pipe or at least fix the section with the leak. Microsoft wraps duct tape around the leak, creating two new leaks.

re: Disable an asp.net LinkButton (or HyperLink) without graying it out

Ok, so how do you re-enable the linkbutton? I need to have it hooked up to a server-side function, which you cannot assign with attributes["onclick"]
