Wednesday, 23 September 2009. Raise an Event in a Master Page from Control in the Content Page. Just a quick one because this was something that was bugging me until recently.

Riding the Bomb: This row already belongs to another table ASP.NET
http://ridingtheblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/this-row-already-belongs-to-another.html
Monday, 11 May 2009. This row already belongs to another table ASP.NET. Just a quick look at a problem I came across when trying to copy rows from one datatable to another. I originally tried this:.

Suposing the two datatables have the same structure, you can just use:.

Canvas = Graphics.FromImage(bmpNew).

Tuesday, 18 August 2009. Nobody wants someone else to read their email. Even worse is the possibility of using that email address to reset the password of everything else they use online. Want someone to have access to your paypal? A strong password would be long, random appearing, or could be produced only by the user who chose it, so that these tools would take too long to complete to make it not worthy of the crackers time. These are some example security practices that can assist in password picking:.
