I’ve seen reference to Nested Master Pages in some of the
documentation, but I haven’t been successful in creating one in VS
2005 (Framework 2.0). I just did a search on it, and “How To:
Walkthrough” on Master pages listed VS 2008 and Framework 3.5 as pre-
requisites.

If I do an “Add New Item” selecting “Master Page”, the “Use
MasterPage” check box is grayed out, so it won’t let me create it in
VS 2005. Is there a way to “trick it”? Or is it just not supported in
the framework? (I tried creating a new Master page, and then adding
the “MasterPage=”…” attribute in the head, but it didn’t like that.
And I tried creating a WebForm page, then renaming it from Child.aspx
to Child.Master, and changing the “Page” in the header to “Master”,
but it didn’t like that either.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi how do i use dataset object in .netframework in a web application
using Visual Studio 2008?

Why separate the Data Access Layer (DAL) methods from the Business Layer
(BL)methods of an object ? Why not have them inside the object itself, since
it’s going to save its own data, using its own methods?

Is it just a matter of avoiding clutter of the code? Or try to avoid big
objects in memory? Won’t the DAL object consume memory by itself anyway?
Any reasonable explanation is appreciated.

TIA

Hi
I have a page that is going to send a number of emails that will be
fetched from the database. This is on a hosted server, so I don’t have
any background automatic way of sending mail. (If anyone can make a
suggestion for this, that would be good too).

There may be 2 mails or 100 mails. I’m not particularly interested
that the page will timeout or not.
The tasks will basically be:
1. Pick up the emails from the database.
2. Start sending the emails one by one and update the status of each
mail as SENT (the updating may be a batch job).
3. At regular intervals, I want the page/display to be updated with
how many mails are done, and how many are left.

I was referring to the following articles:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20060918.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mag…5(printer).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mag…8(printer).aspx

and found the eggheadcafe solution to be the most simple for the
actual processing. But there is nothing for the actual display update.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
