Download the project, change the path to the database & run it - nothing
happens in ASP.NET 1.1, but in ASP.NET 2.0 its fine

Follow my original link

In the code behind of the 1.1 example there is a form load sub, but this END
SUB isn't recognised, plus is in the HTML & not the VB file behind the page

That is all the info I have & have even e-mailed the author to ask

Please try it yourself in Vis Studio.Net 2003 (ASP.NET 1.1) & see if you get
the same result & a solution to getting this free code working
 
Sorry, but I'm not going to download this project and make a database just
to see symptoms of something. Some folks might, but I think that is a bit
much to ask someone to do.

When posting messages, it will help you greatly if you can be as specific as
possible about what you are doing and what result you are getting.

You say "nothing happens", but you could be more specific than this. Does
the desired page come up? What, if anything, shows on the page? Did you
check the database after trying the page to see if the counter had been
increased? Do you even have this page set to the startup page of the
project?

Please be more specific than "nothing happens"..


Help us help you.
 
Nothing comes up except an image place holder showing no graphical number
pulled from the DB

Why bother answering me if you have no intention of downloading it, copying
to the WWWRoot folder & running it (2 mins). Me in VB.NET may write 400
lines of code to help someone out, but that is the difference between you &
I

So, stop answering such silly things

Anyone who does want to help please see the code here:

Thanks in advance,

Newbie

So, something does come up then...an image placeholder. The page does load
and you see the browser trying to display an image. That is not the same as
"nothing happens".

Because there is more than this involved. I'd have to create the database
table and alter the code to connect to that. I'd have to make a new Visual
Studio project and there is no need for any of this if you could provide a
more detailed explanation of what is happening.

Look, we are all here to help each other out. I think you will have a hard
time finding anyone here willing to code 400 lines to solve someone else's
problem when the problem hasn't even been identified.

Clearly, you are looking for someone to do your homework for you, rather
than for yourself. That's not what these newsgroups are for. I am trying
to help you and one of the things I'm trying to help you with is how to get
the best responses in these newsgroups.

By the way, you still haven't answered my question that I asked earlier
about checking the database to see if the counter had, in fact, been
increased.

Rather than demanding others completely replicate your project, you might
just try providing the information requested. Not doing so seems pretty
silly to me.
 
The entire 1 form project & second piece of code includin the one table,
two-columed access db all in the following zip file:

Is that too much trouble to unzip, open..? If so, you shouldn't be answering
posts on newsgroups like I have done for people since 1997 & 400 lines of
code is written by me if the answer requires it. I am not an MVP who pastes
a google link to code. I am a coder, but not an ASP.NET coder, just windows
or pic programming
 
It's clear that you are more interested in forcing an answer to your
question your way (which IS too much to ask), rather than follow simple,
tried and true, troubleshooting techniques.

If you've been involved with newsgroups since 1997, then there is no way you
could possibly tell me that you don't understand the concept of posting a
complete question, or the concept that creating a duplicate project is not
the first step in troubleshooting.

It has already been established (by you), that your original description of
the circumstances you are in was inaccurate. With the additional
information you have revealed, it appears that your code is sound, but is
still lacking something. I have asked you for reasonable details about your
situation. You still have not answered my database question.

I'm sorry if you don't understand or disagree with the premis that asking
questions before making a duplicate of a project makes sense, but quite
frankly, I could care less if you understand it or not, it is the sensible
approach if you are interested in solving a problem with minimal effort.

But hey, I'm not the one having the problem, you are. And, if you really
want to just be stubborn and stick with your "Help me solve my problem by
doing exactly what I tell you to do, rather than what makes sense to most
people." attitude, then fine, good luck with your issue.

I'm hardly a new commer to newsgroups myself and I can tell you that you
won't get a very warm response from most people around these newsgroups with
your attitude towards the help process (and I'd think that someone who has
been using ng's since 1997 would know that already).

I can't help but think of an analogy of the way you have acted.....

A man goes to the doctor complaining of sharp pain in his leg. The doctor
asks the patient if he has had any recent injuries or trauma's and the man
responds by demanding surgery on his leg. The doctor asks the man again for
some basic information and a chance to look at the leg more carefully, but
the man refuses and repeats his demand for surgery.

In the end, perhaps surgery is required. But that is hardly the point. It
could be as simple as discovering that the man has a bad splinter. And if
it was, then wouldn't surgery be a bit drastic and more involved than just
pulling out the splinter?
 
Is that too much trouble to unzip, open..?

Is it too much trouble to answer a few questions before it comes to that?
If so, you shouldn't seriously expect anyone to want to help you.

I think you're flogging a dead horse with this one, mate...

You might also wonder why someone who has allegedly been involved with
newsgroups since 1997 (and, so he claims, answering questions with 400 lines
of code) would call himself 'Newbie'... :-)
 
Newbie,
The way you expect us to work towards the solution you require is not
like any way I've seen on these news groups or any other, Looking at the
code it is quite trivial, someone who would write 400 lines of code to
help another should be capable of writing this them self, or at least
reporting the errors in an effective manner.

I would also expect someone involved in newsgroups since 1997 to not
still be calling them self newbie!!

With the greatest respect, you've not got a clue!

Regards


MC

I have no idea of ASP programming because I have been pic programming &
coding for Windows

So, in another forum... I have guru status & would happily code a 400 line
solution if the need arose, but that's me

I am not a copy/pater like the majority of people are on the net

All the code was there in the original post at that address

The reason its not working is because it won't pick up the END SUB on the
page load event. However, in ASP.NET 2.0 its picked up fine & allowing it to
work

Everything is there. If you have any ideas, post them, but I think that
Scott M has no idea & that's why he won't try it
