Programming / .net Guys, Pls Help Me With Ajax Extenders by dotzok: 9:12pm On May 08, 2011
I have used Ajax extenders in the past and there wasnt issues. Now Im trying to use it again but I have big problems (small to you guys).

I have my Ajaxtoolkit tab already in my Vs 2008 toolbox but I cant apply d extender to any control e.g. Button. Ordinarily I should have an arrow that leads me to "Add Smart Tag" but the arrow isnt showing and each time I right-click to "Show Smart tag", the option is always disabled.

Please what do I need to do.

I'll be sooo grateful to get a fix here cos ive wandered in several forums including asp.net, m,icrosoft.com, msdn etc.

Regards

NYSC / Re: Which State Governments Pay Corpers Well? by dotzok: 2:19pm On Mar 29, 2010
Which kind otondo u be sef? have u ever heard of a governement-made millionaire corper? a beg carry your face cap and go anywhere, come back and face the real thing or push things while there.

I was seeing myself as a big boy before going to Bayelsa few years ago based on what I heard. Alas! Yenagoa was nonsense.
Nobody served in Chevron; they only served in chevron-sponsored creek schools with 15k/month (with NO LIFE at all), but paid every 3months, story too mush abeg.
The summary; dont wait for the state government anywhere you go. In fact we staged a protest in front of Government house the day we passed out(2006) yelling Cheating! cos we were not given what we heard and believed, we were torn apart by teargas. Since we had our certificates already, one by one guys started facing Ekeki park, Mbiama park, Amarata etc.
Programming / Re: How To Deploy Application With Access Database In Vb.net 2008 by dotzok: 1:29pm On Mar 29, 2010
When you're searching in Google, just type "How to deploy VB.Net application"

But why would you downgrade your application so much that you resolved to using Access againt .Net, you're gonna be restricted a lot o, guy. I prefer you use SQL if there are no special reasons for choosing Access.

Thanks

Programming / Re: Networking Vb Applications by dotzok: 4:28pm On Dec 21, 2009
Running to SQL would not solve the problem because SQL has its challenges too.

But SQL is faaaaaaaaaaarr beta than Access, but dont consider running to SQL cos of the challenge, get this solved then migrate to SQL
Programming / Re: Networking Vb Applications by dotzok: 4:20pm On Dec 21, 2009
You must create a setup file nfor your app (u may use Aplication deployment wizard)

you must install this setup on all worstations from where u want to access the application.

Share a folder on the host system and put the .exe and your Access file. Your connection must have read , "Provider = Microsoft Jet Ole DB 3.51 , " & App.path & "\yourdb.mdb".

Other systems must connect to the .exe in the shared folder and NOT the one on their system (remember uv run the setup on the workstation). \if u get confused all the more, dont hesitate asking again. I use it very well
Computers / Re: Best Antivirus To Use by dotzok: 7:52pm On Nov 28, 2009
The Best antivirus is the one u can easily update without necessarily connecting ur system to internet.

i know McAfee releases updates (SDAT) regularly, which u can download from anywheree and run anywhere.

aint recomending McAfee though, but look for such features.
Programming / Re: What's The Right Size For Sellable Software? by dotzok: 7:40pm On Nov 28, 2009
kambo, size does not matter at all in 'sellable' software. What matters in any software is the functionality. In fact the smaller the better; so far it suits and satisfies ur users and it is optimized. You dont have to put gabbage to bamboozle 'us' ur users

Afterall, Windows calculator is not up to 200kb and if microsoft had not bundled it in Windows many of us would have to buy it! So also notepad which was the mother web designing software.

However, real life apps would be much bigger than 70kb moreso that we're now in d age of OOP.

Programming / Re: The Best Text Or E-book On Visual Basic by dotzok: 7:30pm On Nov 28, 2009
Somebody needs a book, Beaf is here reccomending language!!!

Meanwhile both C and VB run on dotnet framework which makes the same number of resources available for the two. isnt it?
Programming / Re: Pl/sql Or Java In Oracle by dotzok: 7:22pm On Nov 28, 2009
if for writing ocp; get dumps and rehearse as many times as possible you gonna trash it.

if getting skilled; get Oracle installed on your system and decide if you want to be a developer or an administrator,

Reality. t's as simple as that.

dbas are most times forced to go beyond the usual 1-8 lines of querry; they end up PL/SQLing or T-SQLing!

The lady sitting next to me in my office is a atudent of APTECH. She made me realize it's a franchise (Meaning that I can own my APTECH!), just conform to their principles; most especially; the Name

You could imagine how difficult it is to seek a transfer from one centre to another within such an IT-riddled organisation. It's obvious they are disconnected in a way.

I'm afraid the same might apply to NIIT.

The schools are bastardized.

No doubt, their certificates are heavy but many Nigerians go there because of high possibillity of traveling out through them because of their affiliations.

I'm sure there are crazy gurus there but,

If for their Certificate; go there
If for becoming crazy and getting certified-get ur laptop, couple of books, couple of guys, couple of time with the internet and a little gap from ur barbie doll! (baby garl)

Computers / Re: Pls Can I Get A Bootable Linux Cd by dotzok: 2:35am On Nov 27, 2009
It used to take 30days or thereabout to deliver Ubuntu disk if you made a request from their site. I dont know of now.

Ubuntu is very Ok, U dont even nid to install it over ur current OS or create another partition for it, just slot it in while the system is being started. Voila! U're in Linux without disturbing ur XP or whatever one bit.

Programming / Re: Multiple Login Control by dotzok: 11:36pm On Nov 25, 2009
The approach uv adopted isnt bad actually, but as your program widens u fault and drop some ideas.

I would go with Beaf's Membership idea, for now!

But later, u'd see the necessity of making the wheels again. You may need to add ur menu name, form names,role id and etc into a table say usr_access in ur DB and completely manage the distribution of priviledges urself.

This implies that you're going to create a form to: create Users, assign roles to them (from a set of created roles).

You'll kip at least 2 tables to get this done. A table would kip all ur menu items and their ids, the other would keep role_id and menu_id,

The moment a user logs in with his/her [id], use querry to fetch his priviledges i.e. menu items from the [roles] table, then use some vb syntax to display just those items and he sees only those menu items.

I wouldnt know if VB.Net uses Session() as does ASP;it would have helped on one side.

Programming / Re: Vb.net Code To Display Image In Picturebox From Sql Server by dotzok: 11:06pm On Nov 25, 2009
Salamsy aint sure these guys really understand your needs, perhaps I, too. 88 hours with ADO.NET might not fetch u this. There are 2 ways:

1. You can save/retrieve image directly into/from a table in ur SQL db (the image must have been converted to binary type).

2. You can also save the path or filename of the JPEG images as normal strings (Varchar); this is much easier and looks like what ur querry was driving at.

Option 1 is more advanced and seems a little more complicated; but it's actually the real life thing. There has been arguments about which is better from professionals' point of view and they raise sensible points.

Have it at the back of ur mind that saving image in ur database contributes immensely to the rapid growth of ur DB size.

And, Is ur app an Enterprise one or get-me-on?

Software/Programmer Market / Re: Vb Programmers Wanted Urgently In A Leading Software Company In Lagos by dotzok: 10:48pm On Nov 25, 2009
Guys, you fail to realize there are different approaches to things. 2 years ago the company I work for presently placed their advert just like this ", VB6, ". In fact after i eventually joined the company my boss asked me why and what I was doing with VB6 on my system! They knew anybody with VB6 knowledge would easily grow into VB/ASP.NET & MsSQL which they use. They are full fledge .Net people. Wise n Simple logic! Sou, stop and think.

Hmmmmmm. Just install a download manager on ur system (it makes ur download faster and safe). The Computer Village guys sell Downloaded softwares!!!
Programming / Re: Help: Are A Programer And Software Developer? Hop In by dotzok: 9:54pm On Nov 25, 2009
Heeeeiyyyyy!!! Thrilling! On behalf of myself and the entire tissues on ma body I WELCOME you to an unending quest! A world of fun, professionalism, creativity and intelligence. Be free to get to google and dont be distracted. Ask this simple question: What is Programming? You'd be amazed of what you' read even if you were told. There are sharp n experienced guys around here to help U. I started with QBasic (as the school curriculum directed!), aint encouraging u to start 4rm there though.
Programming / Re: New To Programming: I Need A BASIC Compiler by dotzok: 2:04am On Nov 22, 2009
Haba ghaiz, either downloading or attaching, a typical qbasic interpreter contains qbasic.exe, .hlp, and two other files i cant remember. Im sure the whole thing can't be up to 2MB! sou,

Except u're talking of QB45, which has advanced features like compilation i.e. making ur program .EXEcutable.

Let me know is u still nid it, i'm sure i can locate it from one of my old drives.
Programming / Nid Qbasic Interpreter? by dotzok: 2:03am On Nov 22, 2009
Habba Ghaiz! Qbasic Inter, contains qbasic.exe, .hlp and i think two others, sou, whether downloading or attachiing it shouldnt be an headache at all. if u still cant find 1, let me know so i can cheq one of my old drives.
Programming / Re: Vusal Basic 5.0 by dotzok: 1:53am On Nov 22, 2009
It's nothing really serious. You can't get any VB installation with C.R. readily embedded, cos it's a third party. You have to buy C.R. CD from a vendor. I have C.R. 9, which aint using, but hw do you get it? If u're in lagos or, just get to any s.ware vendor and ask.

"what method are you using to call your database?" - jek1471. Excellent. that was the 1st question that came to ma mind.

u can as well say

rs.Find("SerialNo=' " & UCase(txtSearch.Text) & "'"wink

theLabel.Caption = rs.Field("Fullname"wink or
txtfullname.Text = rs.Field("Fullname"wink

rs.Refresh

Programming / Re: Networking,developer,dba? by dotzok: 12:41am On Nov 22, 2009
guru, just as Tope said, u just have to decide where your interest is and where u can be best proud. The truth is that U CAN'T clearly split developer and dba. I prefer being a developer/dba because i can sit down at this corner of my room and develop enterprise apps!!! ooops!
Programming / Re: Vb6 Compilation/software Building by dotzok: 12:20am On Nov 22, 2009
U can get "InstallShield" - It's more fanciful and aids customization better than the Visual Studio wizard, but , I trust the Wizard to the star!
