To simulate a disabled grid:

Grid.Bands(0).RowStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGray
Grid.Bands(0).RowStyle.ForeColor = Color.DarkGray
Grid.Bands(0).RowAlternateStyle = Grid.Bands(0).RowStyle
Grid.Bands(0).SelectedRowStyle = Grid.Bands(0).RowStyle
Grid.Bands(0).HeaderStyle.ForeColor = Color.DarkGray
Grid.BackColor = Color.LightGray
Grid.DisplayLayout.ClientSideEvents.BeforeSelectChangeHandler = "Grid_BeforeSelectChange"
Grid.DisplayLayout.ClientSideEvents.BeforeRowActivateHandler = "Grid_BeforeRowActivate"

Add to aspx:

  <script language="javascript">
    // Prevent the user from changing the currently active row
    function Grid_BeforeRowActivate(gridName, id)
    {
        igtbl_cancelPostBack(gridName);
        return 1;
    }
    // Prevent the user from changing the currently selected row
    function Grid_BeforeSelectChange(gridName, id)
    {
        igtbl_cancelPostBack(gridName);
        return 1;
    }
    </script>

To restore:

Grid.Bands(0).RowStyle = Grid.DisplayLayout.RowStyleDefault
Grid.Bands(0).RowAlternateStyle = Grid.DisplayLayout.RowAlternateStyleDefault
Grid.Bands(0).SelectedRowStyle = Grid.DisplayLayout.SelectedRowStyleDefault
Grid.Bands(0).HeaderStyle = Grid.DisplayLayout.HeaderStyleDefault
Grid.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Grid.DisplayLayout.ClientSideEvents.BeforeSelectChangeHandler = ""
Grid.DisplayLayout.ClientSideEvents.BeforeRowActivateHandler = ""

With this tweak you can search Google by type “g searchterms” into the IE address bar. Other shortcuts: gg (Google Groups), ggd (Google Groupe limited to dotnet newgroups), mskb (Microsoft Knowledgebase), wiki (Wikipedia). Save this to a .reg file and double-click.

When opening a web project:

The project you are trying to open is a Web project. You need to open it by specifying its URL path.

Create a file called c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Folder\MyProject.csproj.webinfo and add:

<VisualStudioUNCWeb>
    <Web URLPath = "http://localhost/Folder/MyProject.csproj" />
</VisualStudioUNCWeb>

SQL Server’s float datatype does not support the double.NaN value. SQL and T-SQL will prevent these values from entering the database, but ADO.Net does not. Query Analyzer will stop displaying additional results once it hits a NaN value. Enterprise manager will display -1.#IND. Normal queries on this value will result in errors so it is difficult to remove them. The solution: convert to a string first.

UPDATE mytable
SET floatColumn = NULL
WHERE cast(floatColumn AS varchar(100)) = '-1.#IND'
