To complete my posting of the ASP.NET User Control datagrid, here is the older version...
This is a classic ASP datagrid implementing a hell of a lot of functionality and making sure everything is in a class and no images are required.
Basically only an include and some dead simple code can display data from a datasource on a webpage.
This example includes:
* Sorting
* Paging
* Styling (CSS)
I will post the code as soon as I have some space somewhere...

ASP.NET User Control Datagrid
This is an example of my latest ASP.NET user control datagrid. I will post the code for it very soon... only need to clean it up a bit.
This is NOT a server control (dll), it's simply an .ascx file. Dead easy. The features I have implemented are:
* Easy column sorting
* Paging (page numbers or triangles, no images required)
* Alternate coloring
* Custom ItemDataBound and ItemCommand events
* CSS Styles for the look and feel
It's not the most amazing one I have ever seen but it does the job extremely well and I use it all over my latest project!
Code will follow very soon...

Golden Shortcuts...
As a developer, you constantly have to use keyboard shortcuts to save time and to impress your colleagues ;)
There is the obvious ctrl+x, ctrl+c and ctrl+v that I use 1000 times a day, the ctrl+s (save), alt+tab, alt+shift+tab, ctrl+F4 (close inside window), alt+F4 (close window)... and so on.
Actually let me put a list of the ones I use constantly and tell me if you can think of others:
ctrl+x = cut
ctrl+c = copy
ctrl+v = paste
ctrl+z = undo
ctrl+y = redo
ctrl+b (with text highlighted) = make bold
ctrl+F4 = close inside window
alt+F4 = close window
alt+tab = switch to next app
alt+shift+tab = switch to previous app
shift+click (on URL in IE) = open URL in new window
ctrl+s = save
ctrl+shift+s = save all
F5 (in Query Analyzer) = execute (highlighted text or ALL if nothing highlighted)
But there is also the gold dust, shortcuts that take you years to work out and things you had no idea existed... and today I found one!!!
The first one that I did find about a year ago answers the question "How do you make a field NULL in SQL Server using the entreprise manager manual data edit within table?" the answer is to put the cursor in the relevant field (that you want to blank out) and press ctrl+0 (number "zero"). I have to say, I was pleased to finally get that one after years of "UPDATE tablename SET field = NULL WHERE ID = 11111"!
Today is one of those days where I am happy to add a new addition to my list of favourite shortcuts, the one I'm on about is probably one that VB developers like me will find extremely useful! It is ctrl+k and c or ctrl+k and u! What is it for are you going to ask... well have you ever tried to turn 50 lines of uncommented code to comments in VB?
It takes about 2 minutes to rem it, and 3 to rem it out cause you need to work out what lines are real code and what should remain comments.
ctrl+k and c will comment any highlighted text (multiple lines) in VS.NET!!! The other uncomments it... how brilliant is that!
For those who are anal like me about windows shortcuts, here is a VERY extensive list

Hope this helps! Happy shortcutting!...

skmMenu
Have you ever wanted to create a really cool DHTML menu automatically generated from an XML file (treeview) without having to worry about any of the code... but if you wanted to change the code/styles for whatever reason you could!!!
This is an amazing little ASP.NET open source app with an online GotDotNet community that rocks! I wish I had seen this before. It's already in the new project I am working on.
Awesome, brilliant work guys!!!

Introduction
Let me introduce myself, I am a French guy living in the UK since 1998, I am now 29... nearly 30.
I have been working with computers since I was about 12 and programming in basic on a Sinclair ZX 81!!! Originally it had 1Kb of RAM but I soon extended that to a massive 16Kb !
After that I went to Amstrad CPC 6128 with a... floppy disk. That was a big improvement from tapes.
Of course and just like everyone interested in computers I then acquired a PC. learnt DOS and was amazed when I first saw Windows 3.11 running on a 30Mb Hard drive... 95 was another biggy and NT the ultimate OS. I have to say, for my sins, I have always used Microsoft technologies to develop. I like user friendly and good looking stuff, I try and avoid command lines... unfortunately it's not always possible! :o)
Anyway, I am now swimming in the .NET pool and developing professional applications for various people in the UK. My main skills lie definitely in ASP.NET, VB.NET and SQL Server 2000 (learning Yukon as well, but as always, it's just the same as before, with more functionality!!!). I have to say I became very good at my job and there is no challenge so far that I have not been able to break (touch wood). With computers, everything is possible and the creative power is endless. When you build a house, you need bricks, mortar, contractors, tools... it takes time and a lot of effort. On the web you can create a site in no time, you are the man, all the tools and pretty much available for free and you can also learn to build a bigger and better looking house if you want to! The best thing if we keep this analogy with houses, you can change the color of your roof with a single mouse click :o)
I am starting this blog to share my technical thoughts & findings. All to do with code, .NET computers and the Internet.
I hope you enjoy it and that it brings some answers to your questions!
