My C# Corner

I was writing this application for a client of mine, and I needed to dsiplay a "Please Wait..." message while disabling access to the the rest of the application controls during a lengthy background process, but at the same time, wanted to show that the application is alive and well.... not frozen, maybe even put a cancel or a stop button to terminate the lengthy process.

Both controls provide functionality to select from multiple choices, so what's the difference between them? And when to use one over the other?

In short, ComboBox is a more compact GUI control to house multiple choices, so it is more suitable for large number of choices, so all choices can be shown in the same space that is needed by one choice, while RadioButton groups tend to show all the available choices in the web form, or windows form.

What's the difference between a check box and a Radion button?

The short answer to this is:

- Check box is used to indicated a boolean value: True or False

- A group of Radio Buttons is used when you have more choices than True or False... say you have a choice like "Maybe"...

So use a group of Radio button when you have multiple choices and you only want to select one and only one choice. Use a Check box when you have only 2 choices, this or that, and no more.

I just finished working on an e-Market Web Application using ASP.NET 2.0. The app allows users to sign up for accounts, create a Seller profile and add/remove/modify products for sale.

The e Market allows display and browsing of all products and allows admin to manage users, sellers and products.

You can see a demo of the Web App here:

Welcome everyone,

I've been playing with the idea of launching this site for a while now, and today after finding this free ASP.NET blog starter kit written in C#, I finally decided to put it to use. Thanks to Shanku Niyogi for making this kit available.
