heavy weight code needed to be run from "behind the curtains"...?

My users can receive simple private messages which are stored on database.
They can set their preferences so that new messages should be alerted with
an email. The pages that create these messages are various.

What I need is some global code to send out emails for these messages as
they are created. Since that process could consume some seconds or even
minutes of server time they need to be sent out in the "background " - the
user must not wait while this process is run.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas of how I can do this smoothly?

Hi: As in the "Wizard of Oz", I want people to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", by freezing the screen while a whole lot of things happen. I know about ECHO OFF, but this appears to reset when forms are opened and under other conditions. Are there any commands (Screen Refresh=False?) that will stop screen refreshing until another command is encountered that turns the screen refreshing on again? Thanks in advance.

I understand that the code behind concept is a framework that separates code logic from visulization code. I belive this is true for pages that are mostly static. Ie. Forms elements on a page that are fixed in number. What if i had a requirement that involves a highly dynamic page, with a dynamic number of form elements based on various user selections. I cant see how I cant separate code that splits the "form generation logic" as a...

Hi, I am trying to programatically add an "onunload" event handler to the "body" tag of an ASPX page. I am doing this from a Custom Control located on this page. To do this, I added "runat=server" to the body tag, which provides me access to it in the code-behind through a HtmlControl. I can then manipulate the Attributes collection, which is what I needed. So far so good.

Searched and searched... couldn't find an answer to this... how does one determine the DOCTYPE tag of a page from the code-behind? Basically, I'm in a situation where I need to output different html from proc in the code-behind based on the declared doctype in the HTML source. -- -C. Moya www.cmoya.com

following of thread: "Adding namespaces to code behind automatically" Hello, I had quite the same problem and got further in the right direction with your suggestions, thanks. Nevertheless, I have a newer problem which seems to come from the fact that the assembly which contains my "SimpleComponentToolboxItem" must be already referenced

Hi there, how are you colleagues? I try to set a linkaddress in code behind for a <asp:hyperlinkserver control. but I think I have some syntax problem. I don't know how to fix it.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
