using link I can set properties to each type of control in a control class

using OfType<>() you can pass in a type of control, like panel, and then iterate over the collection.  The example below iterates over all Panels's in an update panel control and sets all but the one passed in to visiable = false.

private void SetDisplay(string panelName)
        {
            //List<Panel> panels = (List<Panel>)this.Controls.OfType<Panel>();
            var pnls = from control in UpdatePanel1.Controls[0].Controls.OfType<Panel>()                     
                       select control;

            foreach (Panel pn in pnls)
            {
                if (pn.ID == panelName)
                    pn.Visible = true;
                else
                    pn.Visible = false;
            }

        }

This list is for .net version 3 and lower.  3.5 and 4 have a timeZoneInfo class that can provide this list.

uses 4.0 .Net Framework and AjaxToolkit v4

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>

 <ajaxToolkit:ComboBox ID="cbProducts" runat="server" DropDownStyle="DropDownList"
                                    AutoCompleteMode="Suggest" RenderMode="Block"  AutoPostBack="true" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged"
                                    AppendDataBoundItems="false" CssClass="AquaStyle">
                                </ajaxToolkit:ComboBox>

code behind example

private void FormatPage() {

 WebServiceSoapClient wsc = new WebServiceSoapClient ();

cbProducts.DataTextField = "itemNo";

cbProducts.DataValueField = "itemNo";

cbProducts.DataSource = wscc.GetProducts(); //dataset could use generic or other bindable object

cbProducts.DataBind();

cbProducts.Items.Add("--Select Item --");  //add item to top of list

 cbProducts.SelectedValue = ""; 

}

        Dim hsh As New System.Collections.Hashtable

You can pass the hastable to an email function or database crud method and loop thru each item.

Nice when you have an application that adds records to a db or smtp send mail function.

The code below will allow you to send email to smtp.gmail.com .  this works when you setup your domail to be hosted by google or if you have a Gmail account.

using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net;

try

{
 

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com",587);
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod =  SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtpClient.Credentials =  new NetworkCredential("username@yourdomain.com", "password");
 

MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, body);

smtpClient.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;

}

run this script to set a default schema for a sql user.  ALTER USER [UserName] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[schemaName] 

there are no settings in the connection string to do this, so set the user to login as normal and set the default schema for the user so you won't have to add the schema to the sql queries.

The code and steps are in a zip file below.

the code will show you how to wire up a jquery modal popup from a master page. code uses ajaxtoolkit and required field controls.

files you will need

css file

user web control

master page

web form page

links or references to jquery files

This link points to code that shows you how to use the context key on an asp.net autocompleteextender control

example

sample C# and asp code

 aspx page
   <cc1:AutoCompleteExtender runat="server" ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" TargetControlID="txtAccount"
                    ServiceMethod="GetAccount" ServicePath="ProductsWS.asmx" MinimumPrefixLength="1"
                    ContextKey="Admin" UseContextKey="true"
                    CompletionInterval="200" EnableCaching="true">
                </cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>

aspx code behind

 if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            //set key to user name unless user is admin

            if (Convert.ToBoolean(Session["isMasterAccount"].ToString()) == true)
            {
                AutoCompleteExtender1.ContextKey = "Admin";
            }
            else
            {
                AutoCompleteExtender1.ContextKey = Session["Name"].ToString();
            }

        }
