Programming, .NET, Silverlight & More

I already have a running website through yahoo geo cities and I am now trying to learn Dreamweaver CS3 since I just got the software. If I learn this, do I have to start with ground zero or can I update and fix my website using my present website?

Use an FTP program to download your web site to your computer.
Instructions here:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/gftp/gftp-09.html

Then set up a new site in dreamweaver and point it to the folder where you downloaded to.

Before you do anything else, find a new place to put your web site. Geocities is discontinuing their service this year!

I am sixteen years old and have quite a basic computer programming knowledge. I do however love the subject and so am looking forward towards doing a degree in the field. I am interested to know how much background knowledge (if any at all) would be required and recommended to do this. Any suggestions are very much welcome.

You should speak first to your school counselor or contact someone at a local college or university to see what courses you should take to prepare for a computer science career.

Here are some resources you can try out to help prepare yourself for a career in computer science…

If you want to learn more about computers then you can go to an educational website like Teach ICT because they have a whole bunch of FREE information about computers and also they have video tutorials on how to use applications like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Flash animation, and etc.:

The websites FunctionX and Programmingtutorials have many FREE tutorials for learning about Microsoft Excel and Access, Oracle, C++, Java, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, Website Creation, C#, Visual Basic, etc.
http://www.functionx.com

Learn C++…xoax.net is a really good website to learn about C++ because it shows you how to download the FREE Microsoft’s version of their Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Visual C++ 2008 Express and use it to create C++ programs…and they also include many video tutorials for learning C++:

Learn Java and other information about computers at HowStuffWorks:

You probably will need to take a course in Calculus, Data Structures & Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics:

A good book for learning Calculus is Forgotten Calculus by Barbara Lee Bleau - average price about $12
http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Calculus-Barbara-Ph-D-Bleau/dp/0764119982/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253147496&sr=8-1

The book Sams Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 Hours by Robert Lafore is good introductory book for learning about Data Structures and Algorithms…Mr. Lafore has written many good computer books that explain complicated subjects in a way that is pretty easy to understand:
http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Structures-Algorithms-Hours/dp/0672316331/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255179625&sr=1-1

Other good books for learning Computer Algorithms:

Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms (2nd Edition) by Anany Levitin

Algorithm Design by Jon Kleinberg

You can get these above books from an online store like Amazon.com or your local library may already have these books.

YouTube has a whole bunch of tutorials for Discrete Mathematics and almost anything else you want to LEARN:

Good luck with your computer science studies and I hope this helps!

If you just want to send and receive emails and surf the net would a net book be sufficient?

A netbook would do all of that fine. Net books are smaller, have less hard drive space, and less of pretty much everything. The battery will last longer in a netbook because they are meant for traveling. You can actually get some laptops for a little over $400 though. Most cell phones can do all of that actually. But yeah, it’s up to you. You might decide you want to do more on your computer later, so a little extra power might be nice.

How do you insert a widget into your web page with Macromedia dreamweaver? I am just not sure thanks

you mean a widget from a widget website? If so, there should be a code on there to add it to a website. Just copy the code, go onto code view in dreamweaver and paste it in. If you mean something you have made in flash, then you can go to the insert menu and select flash or movie and then find it.

Hello Guys

This is very urgent

=============
i am creating an WPF application using VS 2008 with VB.Net and LINQ
=============
I want to create buttons in runtime with events every button has its event
=============
i will display my code here

‘ this is in construction area

Dim WithEvents copierbtn As Button

‘ This sub to get data from tblcopier and add it to list box

Sub loadlist()
Dim x = From mm In db.tblCopiers Select mm.Copier_id, mm.Copier_Name
With Me.ListBox1
.ItemsSource = x
.SelectedValuePath = "Copier_id"
.DisplayMemberPath = "Copier_Name"
End With

‘ this sub loops inside the listbox and creates buttons in wrap panel as many as items inside the listbox and give it content same as item name

Sub LoadButtons()
For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
copierbtn = New Button
copierbtn.Style = CType(FindResource("BlueBottonWithArrow"), Style)
copierbtn.Width = 150
copierbtn.Height = 30
copierbtn.ToolTip = ListBox1.Items(i).Copier_ID.ToString
copierbtn.Margin = New Thickness(10, 10, 10, 10)
copierbtn.Content = ListBox1.Items(i).Copier_name.ToString
WrapCopierBtns.Children.Add(copierbtn)
Next
End Sub

‘ In form load i run these both subs
Private Sub frmDailyCopier_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
loadlist()
LoadButtons()

End Sub

‘ this is the click event

Private Sub copierbtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles copierbtn.Click
lblCopierID.Content = sender.tooltip
lblCopierName.Content = sender.content
End Sub

when i run the application it run so good and the click event run so good but when i click on the last created button only

for example

when i load this form it creates 4 buttons the event runs only on the last button

i want to assign this evevnt to every created button

what should i do plz

not sure about what ur code doing…but i think this will help

AddHandler object.EventName, AddressOf Sub/Function

add this for all buttons (remove the Handles copierbtn.Click in ur code,otherwise it will run twice)
