On an Asp.Net webpage, what's the best way to go about managing a list of
items?
When editing a library title I display a DataGrid of authors to which I'd
like to be able to add and remove. Ideally, I'd like to be able to work with
the list within a single page and not save the list until pressing an OK
button.
Should I keep a list of record IDs in a Session variable? Or postback the
list of IDs in the Request? Is there a way to hang onto a DataTable between
postbacks?
Thanks for any help,
Todd.

Database. SQL Express is one that is free.

You can store the datatable in ViewState or Session between clicks./

No,.

list of IDs in the Request?
No need
>Is there a way to hang onto a DataTable between

Yes, in ViewState. Be careful that you do not run into the native way
ViewState works, however, or you will delete records only to have them
reappear and visa/versa.

Not sure if this is a stoopid question or not. If it is, my apologies.
I'd like to have an ASP form performing a relatively simple calculation.
For example, if I wanted to create a simple order form where someone enters
a quantity of tickets, the form would automatically calculate the total cost
in a second text box based on the number (qty) entered times the cost of a
single ticket. Such that, if the user entered "2" in one text box,...

Sorry to have to ask this but...
I have a form that asks for SQL connection information. I want to close the
form when I click Save and then open the login form.
I can Hide the form but it keeps the form open. If i try and use
form.close() then it ends the program even though I've used newForm.Show()
and newForm.Activate() before the form.Close().
Thank you for your time.

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,...
