fund raising problem

I don't know if this is possible or not. A non-profit client is running a
fund raising campaign where a person can make a pledge that can cover from 1
to 5 years and can be paid in monthly, quarterly or annual installments.
Most of the database work is pretty standard except for one part. The client
would like to send out notices to each donor when the next payment is due.
With each donor having from 1 to 20 payments, and 1 to 12 payments per year,
and a start date that can be any date, there are a lot of variables to
factor in on the fly. Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance.

Each payment should be a separate row in a table. Query that table to select
all payments due in the next n days.

I have made a custom control in asp.net using webcontrols, and am raising my event. I find that if no control is hooked into the event it goes for a toss. I tried to find length of the delegate array returned by ButtonClicked.GetInvocationList method event that is raising an exception. Presently i am enclosing in try catch block and would like to avoid that. Any suggestions on how to find if any body is hooked/listening to this event.

I've created a pocketpc app which has a startup form containing a listview. The form creates an object which in turn creates a System.Threading.Timer. It keeps track of the Timer state using a TimerState object similar to the example in the System.Threading.Timer documentation. The method which handles the timer events, among other things, periodically calls a method in this TimerState object which raises an event to the startup form,...

I have many user controls loading into a web page using Page.LoadControl However, I'm unable to figure out how to raise an event when a button is click or a check box is checked. I can have upto a hundred user controls on a single page and AutoPostBack isn't an option. I have no problem with raising events when an user control is dropped on the aspx page.

I am developing a somewhat complex component at the moment and coincidently I am also reading the Framework Design Guidelines book. After reading the section about event raising I have re-written the way my component raises events to follow the Framework Design Guides verbatim; ie (object sender, EventArgs (or some subclass there of) e). The thing that was not explained is why should I need to cast the sender to 'object' when I know...

Hi, I have created a usercontrol, a grid control essentially. Within it I have a class: clsGridRecord. I have coded the events such that when a user clicks on the grid, say, the events occur on the parent form. This is fine. The problem occurs when I want to raise an event for a user clicking on one of the clsRecords which are on the grid. So I've placed: Public Event GridRecordClicked(ByVal rec As clsGridRecord,

What is the best way to re-raise any exception with a message supplemented with additional information (e.g. line number in a template)? Let's say for simplicity I just want to add "sorry" to every exception message. My naive solution was this: try: ... except Exception, e: raise e.__class__, str(e) + ", sorry!"

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
