<ItemTemplate>
  <asp:DropDownList
        ID="ddlMaker"
        runat="server"
        DataSourceID="odsMakers"
        DataTextField="makerName"
        SelectedValue="<%#Bind("MakerID") %>"
        DataValueField="makerID">
  </asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

When I compiled I received an error “The server tag is not well formed.”

After a bit of trial and error I realized it was because there were quotes nested within quotes. To make this work all that had to be done was to change the outside double quotes on the SelectedValue parameter to be single quotes as shown below.

<ItemTemplate>
  <asp:DropDownList
        ID="ddlMaker"
        runat="server"
        DataSourceID="odsMakers"
        DataTextField="makerName"
        SelectedValue='<%#Bind("MakerID") %>'
        DataValueField="makerID">
  </asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>

Hope I saved someone a bunch of wasted time.

If you have any questions about them, drop me a comment here.

Here is a sample of what I did (this would all go on a single line)

c:\”program files”\”log parser 2.2″\LogParser -iCheckPoint:myCheckPoint.lpc -o:SQL -server:localhost -database:IISLogs -createtable:ON “SELECT * FROM ex0810*.log TO IISLogs”

This short command line will read in all log files that start with ex0810 and import them into a table called IISLogs.  It will also create a checkpoint file so that if you run the command again it will not import records that have already been imported.

How cool is that?

Once all the importing is done you can leverage the SQL tables using whatever methods you need to.

If you need any help with stuff, send us a note at support at quarksoft.com.

During my search for such a feature I ran across a great utility from Gil Azar (and in his post gives credit to lots of others for their help). You can download the ultimate Outlook 2007 preview handler from his site.

If you are interested in some of the technical details Gil discusses them on his page and provides some really great links.

I’ve included parts of Gil’s original post just in case his site disappears one day.

A self-extracting installer, which silently installs Stephen Toub’s MSDN Magazine Managed Preview Handler Framework and Gil’s small addition, can be downloaded here

For example if you want to get session persisted across SQL Server reboots you can issue this command:

aspnet_regsql.exe -ssadd -sstype p -E -S <servername>

The sstype p is the option that allows for the state to be persisted. You can execute aspnet_regsql.exe -?

The way to accomplish this is to use the DBCC CHECKIDENT command.

For example:

DBCC CHECKIDENT (SalesForce, reseed, 0)

This assumes your table is called SalesForce and you want to start the numbering at 1.  If you wanted to start the number at 2000 you can substitute 0 with 1999.  There has been some discussion that has said if the table never had records added to it the reseed value itself will be used instead of the reseed + 1 value.  You should not need to use this statement for a “new” table.

If you ever created a form and had your users click on the submit button multiple times this is the code you have been looking for.  Be sure to check out Robyn Page’s comments for a method to block the whole form during the form submit as well.
