    MVC set dropdownlist value to bool

    Hi, In case you haven't sorted this by now, you want to be using a Custom Model Binder. This allows you to create an object whereby you can intercept the binding for specific models (in your case StudentIncident) and do the logic yourself for picking out the fields you need, by looking at the...

    Going Freelance (web design) while I look for work?

    I've been in full time employment and also self-employed for a couple of years now, and registered as such with HMRC. I endorse most of the advice in this thread, in terms of record keeping and paperwork. You'll find the paperwork isn't bad; it can be a simple spreadsheet which records the jobs...

    Windows 7, D-Link DSM-510 and streaming issues

    Hello, Hoping someone can lend some insight. I have a D-Link DSM-510 Medialounge which I use to stream DivX media wirelessly from my PC. Prior to upgrading to Windows 7, the image quality was fine and perfectly watchable. After upgrading to Windows 7 however, the quality has degraded...

    Thanks for the replies guys, that's very helpful. I think I'll go the 'install and test' route :)

    Quick memory compatibility question

    Hello, Just wanted to confirm something before I commit to a purchase; when I built my current system I ordered a bundle which contained Corsair XMS2 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 6400C4. I would like to upgrade again now to 4GB but OcUK doesn't have this memory in stock at the moment. However, they do...

    iRacing release price details

    With the Solstice (which is what these guys are talking about) you just get in and drive, there's nothing to tweak with regards to the setup on those cars, since they are just basic road cars. More advanced cars (the Radical, Mazda, etc) are proper racers and have things on them you can tweak...

    payment systems - website -> hsbc

    No, they are two completely separate services - you use one or the other. Protx has the ability for you to sign up and specify which bank you are with for your transactions. HSBC is their own implementation of an online payment service which (I assume) only accepts transactions to an HSBC...

    payment systems - website -> hsbc

    Protx works with whatever bank you have designated when you create your Protx account. HSBC provide their own online payment API for processing transactions if you're an HSBC account holder. (I think this is the case - correct me if I'm wrong). In both cases though, you can't just throw up a...

    C#

    Out of interest, why the move from vb.net to c# specifically?

    Top down RPG's

    Baldurs Gate series, as mentioned, and Planescape Torment is also well worth a look.

    How many experienced coders are looking for jobs?

    Just for the record, I had no commercial experience when I got my first programming job a couple of years ago; all I had was a couple of good websites I'd built for my own personal interest, and I was keen. They had given me a project as a kind of test to show them what I could do. I completed...

    Can you get yours to run at that widescreen res? I can't, no matter what shortcut switches I use.

    Subversion Client for Visual Studio

    Another vote for VisualSVN here - well worth the money as far as I'm concerned. One big advantage that it does give you over using Tortoise from the explorer is that it takes care of keeping the repository in sync when renaming, deleting, moving and copying files, without having to work with...

    CSS/MasterPage Scroll Bar Troubles

    Using I.E 6 by any chance? In case you are, min-width isn't directly supported, but there are some hacks you can use to get around it. More modern browsers should support it fine though. In that case I don't know why it's not working for you.

    SQL & ASP.net Hours?

    In regards to the time formatting, I've always found this reference very useful for those custom formatting codes.

    PC Gaming Is Dead!

    Saying PC gaming is dead is a bit objective though, innit. I mean it really depends on what you want to play. I'm still playing games like Sim City 4, Live For Speed, Settlers 2, GTR2 and WoW and as long as those games are around and my 3 year old PC can still play them I'll not be upgrading...

    any ideas/suggestions for client server

    I was going to chime in and say the same thing. It sounds like the module requires to you develop an application which employs a client-server model. Building a website doesn't really cover this you're not building the client (in your case the web browser) nor the server (the web host); you're...

    2000 Focus Coil packs

    Hello, I've got a pretty bog standard Focus 1.6 Zetec, and I think the coil pack needs replacing on it. I think this because: * The car is starting to misfire when accelerating through 2nd and 3rd gears. It revs fine at idle, but there's a definite loss of power generally and I'm...
