Welcome

I'm a student and this blogg has been created to keep information on a daily to weekly basis about my project that i am doing to get my Bachelor of Information Technology. This is based on my progress, and a place to put all of my information, not entirely a proper blogg. Though sometimes i feel like i'll be talking to myself... Any ways, enjoy and feel free to comment. If your wondering what this project is and dont want to read every single post, just go to the Proposal link, or any of the "posts worth looking at" below.

26/8 Unbound Checkbox for Urgency

_________________________________________________________

Today i didnt quite get the urgent checkbox thing going... Was alot more complicated than i thought because gridviews like to have bound fields. So i went on a huge goose chase to find out how to make a column with unbound fields that you can check. I found one article that made it look really hard... so then i decided id do it the unefficient way and add a checkboxlist and dynamically add jobs to that, then the user can select urgent from there. Then i found out that this was just as hard!!! So i was thinking there must be an easier way!!!! So after googling a bit more i found this link:

http://www.netnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet/topic25315.aspx

  • I didnt realise that you could edit templates that you add as a column. So i learnt something interesting today. Now i have a checkbox column, and have to add the logic which is:
  • Testing that the user has only checked 2 jobs
    When the user clicks on the MAP button i need to add in the logic for taking those client jobs out of the sorting, sort just those two, then put them at the front of the string i pass to google maps.

I want to do this now, but its getting late and my brain is fighting getting any homework done. So i'll have to put in more hours tommorow to keep up with the schedule i made today.


Hours: 6.5
