Off To London

Tomorrow I’m off to London for a small holiday… Will try to write some posts if I find internet in a bar … anyway… see you next Tuesday… London here we come!

C# | Call Overloaded Methods

No Internet | Network Card not working fine

During these last few days, my network on the computer started giving me problems and sometimes the internet will stop working for no reason.

I found this supposed solution… will test it out and see how it goes. If anyone has a better solution, please let me know.

From a command prompt run the following code:

netsh winsock reset

That will reload the tcp/ip suite for windows and can supposedly correct some issues.

If you are using a USB adapter, be it wireless or wired, go into device manager and turn off the ability for windows to shut down the device to save power. You may have to do this on the root hub and controller that match your device.

Will tell you how it goes later on. Goodluck for me

First you need to create a HiddenField on your webForm and name it TokenField (any name would actually do)

<asp:HiddenField ID=”TokenField” runat=”server” />

To set the Hidden Field value in JavaScript use the following code: Continue reading »

Div OnClick instead of a href | Quickie

Instead of using the “<a href=” tag to go to another page, you can use the “<div onclick=” to be transferred to another page. This is extremely useful if you have a lot of text and pictures that need to be clicked anywhere wanted. Next is the html code to achieve this:

<div id="div_id" onclick="window.location = 'Your reference here'>
Your text here
</div>

Hope this Quickie was of help
