pop up windows with img and text from...?

using vb.net, with sql 2000 personal edition.

I'm trying to create a portfolio page, the pages would be divided into years from 2001 ~ 2004 with each page a link of projects that my company has done. when the link is clicked it would open a new window with both image and text.

my question is how should i build this pop up page, with over 90 images i do not want to create individual aspx pop up windows, so if i was to get img and text info where should it be coming from? would sql server or is there was a to put this info in the project page? I haven't a clue, plz help.

ps. if you can point me to an example on the net that would be great..

focusA good place to start may be the following tutorial:
A Robust Image Gallery for ASP.NET
wow thanks NewKid2~

i'm still reading it but its a great example, not only for my project but for my personal use as well, also i love the fact that its in vb.net there should be a page called top 10 everyday examples in vb.net for the noobie in you!

> there should be a page called top 10 everyday examples in vb.net

Well, the same guys have written a bunch of ASP.NET articles, most of them using VB.NET, and all written in an easy-to-understand way.

You can see the entire list of their articles here:

POP3 Service

Hi.
I need to create an application (service) that will be active in the
background all the time and receive mail. I can't use Microsoft Exchange
Server, I have to make my own. Only problem is that I have no idea how to do
it. Does someone know where could I find some examples or how to do it.
Thanks a lot.PhatCat:
POP3 is a protocol to retrieve mail messages from a mail server. Did
you want your service to poll a mailbox and pull down new messages? Or
did you want your service to listen on a port and actually take emails
via SMTP? (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html)

Populate an array from a sql query?

I think I did something wrong with this. I am trying to create an array of product id's from a database query.

 Dim dReader As SqlDataReader
 Dim i As Integer = 0
 Dim Products(i) As String
 Dim strResults As String
 conConnection.Open()
 Dim cmdCommand As New SqlCommand("SELECT ProductID FROM Products WHERE CategoryID = '4'", conConnection)
 dReader = cmdCommand.ExecuteReader()
 While dReader.Read
 Products(i) = dReader("Subcategory")
 i += 1
 strResults += dReader("Subcategory")
 End While
 Label1.Text = strResults 'just to display if I am getting results
 conConnection.Close()

I put that StrResults so I can monitor if anything is getting picked up, but nothing happens at all. What did I do wrong?Doing this freehand so might be a little bit off.

Dim myArrayList as new ArrayList
 Dim dReader As SqlDataReader
 Dim i As Integer = 0
 Dim strResults As String
 conConnection.Open()
 Dim cmdCommand As New SqlCommand("SELECT ProductID FROM Products WHERE CategoryID = '4'", conConnection)
 dReader = cmdCommand.ExecuteReader()
 While dReader.Read
 myArrayList.Add(dReader("Subcategory"))
 End While
 conConnection.Close()
Dim x as Integer
For x = 0 to myArrayList.Count - 1
labeli.text += myArrayList(x) & " "
Next

Cool, thanks. I also noticed that I have Subcategory as my Datareader field, but CategoryID in my actual query.

 Dim cmdCommand As New SqlCommand("SELECT ProductID FROM Products WHERE CategoryID = '4'", conConnection)
 dReader = cmdCommand.ExecuteReader()
 While dReader.Read
 Products(i) = dReader("Subcategory")

............

What did I do wrong?

-> You forgot to select "Subcategory" in SQL query?
Oh, sorry, didn't see you found it yourself.
Thanks guys. It feels so good when it finally works! :)

populating asp:dropdownlist programmatically

I need to display a drop down list which holds up to 250 listitems.

I'd like to create this programmatically rather than have to hardcode it
into the page.

For example

<asp:DropDownList id="numYears" runat="server" name="numYears">
<asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="0 years" Selected="true" />
<asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="1 year"/>
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="2 year"/>
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="2 year"/>
<asp:ListItem Value="3" Text etc.......... up to 250 years

Thanks in advance..

Simon AmesHi,

put the DDL declaration at the Page (or create it in code just as you see
better).

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" Runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList
Then say in Page_Load:

= = =
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
for(int i=0;i<251;i++)
{
ListItem litem=new ListItem(i.ToString() + " years",i.ToString());
ddl1.Items.Add(litem);
}
ddl1.SelectedIndex =0;
}
= = =

for (int i=0; i<=250; i++)

{

numYears.Items.Add(i.ToString());

}
