As I'm not about to give the site any business, I modified their advertised picture. Attached is an example of pictocodes that one program seems to be able to bypass:

For those that aren't aware, there are tools out there for these <insert your pleasure> out there. These tools have the capability of reading these scrammbled pictures (pictocodes). Change the process in registration, then you will avoid spammers...

As a temporary workaround, I'm going to leave the link out of the web.sitemap file and create an absoultely positioned DIV with the hard-coded path for the page in question. Maybe when I become more proficent in .net capabilities, I can see how to overcome this .net control problem. I'm rather suprised that no one here knows of a way...

No, not security related. I just don't want the link (maybe others in the future) to be included in the menu creation. If I were to include the link in the web.sitemap file, the page would look like the following: top menu: link1 link2 link3 OnlyShowCurLocationlink Current location: Homelink > OnlyShowCurLocationlink bottom menu: link1 link2 link3 OnlyShowCurLocationlink However, I want it to look like this: top menu: link1 link2 link3 Current location: Homelink > OnlyShowCurLocationlink bottom menu: link1 link2 link3 If I can't override the creation, is it possible to have two web.sitemap files (one for the SiteMapPath control and one for the menu control)? I would prefer not having to do this, as I would need to maintain two files...

Greetings, I'm starting to play around in asp.net once again using the Personal Web Site Starter Kit. In the Default.master page, I have a menu control being created using a datasourceid property set to a sitemapdatasource control: <asp:menu id="menub" runat="server" datasourceid="SiteMapDataSource1" cssclass="menub" orientation="Horizontal" maximumdynamicdisplaylevels="0" skiplinktext="" staticdisplaylevels="2" /> <asp:sitemapdatasource id="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" startingnodeoffset="0" /> I'm also using a SiteMapPath control in the same master page: <asp:SiteMapPath id="SiteMapPath1" runat="Server" PathSeparator=" > " RenderCurrentNodeAsLink="false" /> What I would like to do is somehow override the menu/sitemapdatasource controls so that it skips one of the entries in the web.sitemap file. However, I would like to leave the entry in the web.sitemap file for the SiteMapPath control to show the value. Any idea where to begin? :confused:

Hehe, I know where to find my stuff in a snap. That pic is an old view, my desktop is MUCH worse now. ;) [edit]I changed my mouse as well since it also was boring me. :) [/edit]

Did it a while ago as I was annoyed with seeing Start all the time (whole thread is here). Oops, forgot you have to login that site to see it. Here ya go, same pic:

I'm one and two, so I didn't vote...nerdy party starter. :D

The numbers show the facts of whats currently going on. ;) I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but there are options to turn off the "extra features" in the Options Profile. Try disabling a few of the visible post elements (like avatars)...this should speed things up a little bit. As for me, I have no problems at either site. Of course I'm using a fast connection though, so I really shouldn't say anything in this thread. :)

Another site devoted to REs.

What I hate about many of the online games is the cheaters out there. My current addiction: AA (MOD_BlackNight). :D

Ummm, me. :-\ I'm going a tad bit beyond the design phase and giving my two cents of the program for: Some developers may use extensions in their design phase and some may not. It could depend on how complex a website is going to be, but once you get past the design phase, you may wind up using the same software for adding advanced items and tweaking the code. Part of the designing process is planning what you may need for the website to succeed (dynamic pages are obviously a hit nowadays). Why buy a program (like Frontpage) just for the quick and dirty template? If that was the case, there are plenty of free ones (like 1st Page) out there that do just as well. Here is a list of some more editors. *Everyone has their own techniques as to designing a website. If your way works for you...great, but it may not work for everyone. Just imagine what went on for something like the MS website. :eek:

I don't remember which version it was '97 or '2000, but when I saw Frontpage change some of my dynamic ASP code, that made me look elsewhere. Not only that, but if you use the Frontpage extensions, then you are more limited to the hosts that support them. They may have gotten rid of the "tweaking" feature in the latest version, but I still stay away.

Based on editing, yes, Notepad isn't that great. Since we are giving other suggestions, here is another one (and its free). :)

I haven't used .NET, so can't comment on that. However, I can say that Dreamweaver MX still has its problems as well. If you get advanced with templates or tend to share the coding process with another programmer (using DMX), then you may find some quirks with the software. If you want to base it on what loads faster, Notepad all the way. :) I would really say a piece of paper and a pencil as the first step and then go on from there.

Yep, just downloaded the most recent (.98) version and still found one problem (on Win XP) that stops me from testing any further. Tried: 1) New Combine > Windows forms project under c# 2) After putting a simple label on the form, I saved the project. 3) Tried to reopen the same project (while it is still open). 4) Got some error: "Error While Saving" that I gave the ignore option. 5) The same project doesn't load anymore. This is even after shutting down and restarting the app. Will wait a couple more releases...

I was testing sharpdevelop a while back and it looks like the c# part of it wasn't working properly. I don't remember the exact problems, but I figured I would wait until a couple more versions have been submitted before trying again. So, I would recommend the same for you on the VB.net side. *I will see if I can hunt down what my problems were. [edit]Never mind, I was using version .95 and they are currently on .98, so it shouldn't be a factor anymore.[/edit]

Graduate who spends too much time on the internet. ;) Ohhh, you meant for money? Well, as of this post, proactive monitoring over systems (like the AS400) for a fortune 100 company.

Yes, but why not implemented here? I thought one of the reasons was to deter members from starting silly threads (probably like this one :p ).

I noticed that at this .net site, the post count goes up for a member when one posts in Random Thoughts. Over at http://www.visualbasicforum.com, the post count doesn't increase in the same forum (been that way for quite a long time). Just curious as to why it is allowed here and not the other. Anyways, have a good day. :D ALP

What I was looking for was more information like: Also, found the following link to be interesting (plus related links at the right): http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/productinfo/features/default.aspx Thanks anyways, ALP

In regards to the link: Where is their IDE? (http://www.go-mono.com/tools.html) Also, looks like there is some kind of IDE, but it runs off of Linux (look for Windows.Forms): http://www.go-mono.com/screenshots.html

Another point of view. During my senior year at UNI, I managed a group that came up with a real-world application (from the design all the way to the deployment process). Sure it was for another department, but the software was working for real-life scenarios. In my first semesters at the University, big projects were frowned upon because they wanted beginnners to learn the BASICS before going into something more complex as a real-life project. Heck, I even went to a class that involved LISP and Fortran. I didn't like the languages, but gained some experience (that Nerseus was talking about).
