This new property (*not* event), allows you to wire up clientside code to be executed before the server-side onclick is handled.  In the old days we had to do this manually.  For example, this is how you would hook up a simple confirmation dialog:

This probably isn't entirely correct since I am just looking at the output (e.g. the database rows) to determine this.  For each object in profile (i.e. Users), there is a single row in the aspnet_Profile table.  This table is made up like so:

I am working on a portal project with ASP.NET 2.0 and I am loving it.  Lots of stuff is in the box that I need.  The project is using VB.NET so I wanted to make sure that everything was Option Explcit On and Option Strict On...but since it is a Web Application, the normal property pages are nowhere to be found (unless I am missing it).  If I create any other project type (I think), I can look at the project property pages and see the Compile tab:

Funny how you miss some features in programs you use everyday.  I found that I can call View->Arrange By->Conversation and my mailing list folders are a ton easier to read.  Is everyone using this and I just missed the boat?

TableAdapters, DataAdapters and Migrated Typed DataSets
TableAdapters, DataAdapters and Migrated Typed DataSets
27 december 2024

In Visual Studio 2005, when you create a Typed DataSet, it automatically creates TableAdapters for you.  These are interesting objects that use a DataAdapter internally to make a more cohesive data access layer.  It will certainly help the RAD developers get started.  I am not so sure about how they will work long-term though.

DataSet.ClearBeforeFill? (UPDATED!)
DataSet.ClearBeforeFill? (UPDATED!)
27 december 2024

In previous builds, the DataSet had a property on them that said whether they should clear the DataSet whenever it is Filled by a DataAdapter.  It seems to be missing in the latest builds.  I actually prefer this because the nature of DataSets (and often overlooked) is that successive DataAdapter.Fill's will allow a DataSet to grow incrementally.  New rows will be added, and existing rows will be updated (unless it is dirty, then you would get an exception).
