A common problem in database updates in the maintenece of "domain
tables". For example, a product database has an option for color. When
entering the specifications for a new product, a domain table is used
to populate a drop down list of available colors.
Simple so far. But what if the user wants to create a new color
specification on the fly? Let's say that this is a complicated process
requiring it's own page with validation code. Once the process is
complete, the user needs to be redirected back to the half completed
form so he can finish.
What is the best way to persist all of the data that the customer has
entered before? One option is to place the results of each control
into a session variable, and then write code to put it all back into
place, but that's kind of sloppy, and I could have done that in
classic ASP.
Is there some magic .net solution to persisting a form across page
loads?

John,
No, there is not a "magic" .Net solution for this. You need to save
temporary information, and Session is one of the options to do this.
Actually, since you need information on two different pages, session is
probably the best option.
Best regards,

Hi,
You can open the second form as dialog box using client-side java script.
You will not lose your session when you close the dialog.

I have a form that has a dropdown list that will cause a post to the same
page when it's changed. The problem I'm running into is that all of the
controls reset to their default values (obviously expected behavior).
What's the recommended/best way to persist these values through the post
process? I know I could set them to the request.form values of themselves,
so to speak...but I didn't know if there was a simpler/more efficient way.

I am looking for some way to persist a table web control so when page_load
event comes up, i can display the table as it was. I tried using ViewState
with the rows collection but that didn't work to well as I got an error
trying to put rows collection in the viewstate.
My problem is this:
I load a table with rows and controls, then wire events, this is after
clearing the rows of the table initially in this function.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
