Table within a Table - spacing

Sometimes I want to put a table inside a cell of another table (say, to
create 3 equal divisions, etc.).
When I want the inner table's edges to correspond exactly with the edges of
the cell, I set the border (top, left, bottom, right) to zero for both the
inner table and outer table. Also padding to 0 and spacing to 0.
But, for some reason, there is still some space between the bottom of the
inner table and the bottom of the containing cell. (Equal to about 20
pixels or so). I can't figure out how to make that space go away!
--Selden McCabeSelden, I recall experiencing something similar. If you're embedding the
tables manually, try removing all the whitespace (spaces, cr's, lf's)
between the inner </table> tag and the hosting </td>.

Thanks for the tip.
I also found this (by trial and error):
In the table style (select table, format\build style), there is a
line-spacing property for text.
Select custom, and set this to 0.
Even though there was no text and no other types of spaces, etc. in the
table, that last row of space went away!
Thanks again, maybe these items will help others...

Thanks Selden, I like your approach better. It's a much cleaner than
hacking all the whitespace from your HTML...
Great work on the research.

TableCell

I create a TableCell by

TableCell cell = new TableCell()

but I could not find how to add a TextBox inside this cell. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Serdar KALAYCI
--WebControls.TextBox txt = new WebControls.TextBox();
cell.Controls.Add(txt);

Got it, here's the code if anyone wonders...

TableCell cell = new TableCell();
TextBox text1 = new TextBox();
cell.Controls.Add (text1);

I have one more question. I added a Button inside a Table at design time by
changing HTML codes, but I can't access it's events or even see it in the
components list on the Properties window.

if you are adding an object programatically, like your butotn, you'll also
have to attach the event programatically.

in vb.net, you can use:
addhandler yourButton.click, AddressOf yourFunctionHandler

in c#, you can use:
yourButton.Click += new EventHandler(yourFunctionHandler);

Make sure that your button is created, and you attach your handler on
postback also (ie, don't wrap it in an !page.IsPostback)

Tables inside of forms?

Is there a way to use tables inside form tags for positioning data collection text boxes?

Such as:

<form>
<Table>
<Tr><Td>Company:</Td><Td>TextBoxCompany</Td></Tr>
</Table>
</form
I can not seem to get an insert command to write to the database if I place the text boxes for input in the cells of a table. If I do the same form without the table the insert command works just fine.

What am I missing? Is there a better way to build data collection forms?

Thanks in advance for helping!
Scottyou can use any html you want inside the form.

what error are you taling about, could you be more specific?
Can you show us the textbox declaration and the update code.

Simon
Thanks for responding Christian.

Since I posted I have build a simple form, tested it and then moved the input boxes into a form. And that works as it should.

The project collects employment data for association work. In testing, the application tells me that the post is sucessful, but the record is not written to the database. Because others will use the data in Excel I am using Access 2000.

Here is the code:

Tags inside value field of appsettings in web.config

i need to write a xml data inside the value field in web.config file.
it looks likes this

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="MyXmlData" value="<data><type></type>......." />
</appSettings>
</configuration
but i get an error message

some one help meYou need to encode/escape the characters. You can do it manually if you
know all of the rules, but I wrote a little utility for myself that I
know will do it right. I guess I should post the full app at some point,
but the relevant method is:

public string Encode(string input)
{
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter(output,
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{

XmlTextWriter xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(stringWriter);
xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("element");
xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("attribute", input);
xmlWriter.WriteEndElement();
xmlWriter.Close();
}
return output.ToString();
}

Just create a simple WinForms app with a textbox to past a value into, a
button that runs the Encode method, and then a textbox for the output
(not label - you want to be able to select the output for copy/paste).
