That's C#, is it not?[Moving the topic to .NET]You'll need to lock the file as you modify it with each thread. That's how the concept of "critical resources" (and to be more precise, "mutex"-es) works. Lock right before opening the config file, and unlock right after saving it. Prepare yourself before the lock, and do the modifications you want during the lock, including the load and save, with as least statements as possible.During a lock, if another thread reaches a point where it too needs to lock the same resource, it will wait until the resource is unlocked. As soon as that happens, it will take the lock, and the same thing would repeat in case a third thread (or the former first) needs the same lock.The issues you're experiencing are exactly due to the lack of synchronization (otherwise achieved with mutexes over critical resources). Even if your app seems to work currently, it's fragile, i.e. there will be some cases, maybe only on some computers, where it won't work.

We in America know that just because something has more votes doesn't necessarily make it the best choice.Everything has its place. Tables have their place like everything else, and sometimes the situation calls for a table layout. It doesn't automatically make you a bad developer. Like anything else, over-using tables creates a problem.

PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

It doesn't stand out well on the website. The suggestion to make it more promonent has been made to the site owners but as of yet they have not made any changes.

cool, thanks for the advice! what about PHP, is that like ASP.net or something completely different?

Hello, W3Schools Forum. I am BlueDigit.I started programming two years ago, but since then, my skills have become less than useful. [>_>;]So, I'm re-learning everything, starting with JavaScript. It's going well, so far.So, ermm… Hi.

I think it is a misconception that Python is faster than PHP. Python has been optimized for mathematical algorithms so in that respect it will blow PHP out of the water but if you compare which language can server more web pages in a period of time you find that PHP is noticeably faster.

My opinion is that it's not as hard as C++ and not as easy as PHP. I have been reading the Python documentation lately and it has some nice syntax. Python is a functional programming language. Lambdas are a good example of the syntax sugar that Pytho has. Django is a nice MVC framework for Python and IMO is a better choice than RoR.

well I have a book on ASP and its a few years old, so it seemed logical to start with that, but I'm willing to learn anything to increase my skills and knowledge. I'll probably end up getting books on most of those langauges as I progress, but I was just interested in hearing what people had to say about each of them and what they use them for.

There is no BEST language to use. You need to evaluate what is best for you based on current knowledge, hosting limitations, possible customer requirements, and the application itself.PHP is extremely popular. I use both PHP and ASP.Net. Both langages are about as far apart as you can get. There are many things I like and dislike about both. PHP is probably one of the easiest languages to get started with as just about very host supports it (including alot of free hosts).CF is not used a lot but there are still many that love it, just ask Skemcin if you are interested in knowing more about CF.I only suggested ASP.Net because you mentioned you wanted to learn ASP.

Welcome to the forums. I would recommend ASP.Net, ASP is no longer support by Microsoft. You can get some great info and video tutorials here http://www.asp.net/. Good luck.

I heard that MS will be forcing IE7 in another automatic update. Although there is an opt-out and some don't have updates turned on this should help get rid of some more IE6. I can't wait for IE6 to be gone forever!

yes as long as you have IIS setup with ASP enabled. If you need further discussion on this please start a new thread in the ASP forum.

I have previously said that I liked Notepad2. This is no longer the case. Notepad2 starts chugging when files get big. This may not become and issue for HTML or PHP, etc but it is unusable when opening large configuration files.

The color scheme and layout does make things hard to find.It would be nice if they could at least overhaul the color sheme (CSS) and makes easier to read.

The Brits have come up with a 2Gigbit/sec network. Not sure when it becomes available to the UK public but it is pretty safe to assume that the gov is already using it. You can send Britannica to Shoreditch in 7 sec, where ever Shoreditch is http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ne...ticle737972.ece

My ISP recently upgraded me to 15 megabits/sec here are the new results

you can make them block then float them.

Well, firstly I would put as much as possible in the CSS but for things out side the CSS I think a seesion variable would be best for keeping track. Or possibly a cookie that way every visit to the site loads the last theme they chose. I like when sites remember what I like and load it for me

ok, you had me worried for a minute. Another reason I prefer links is it makes it easy to use conditional comments when adding stylesheets for ie.

is there an special reason you guys are not including your stylesheets like this?

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="/css/print.css" type="text/css" />

What is the benefit of using import url()? Seems like just a bunuch of needless code on each page.

best way to know is to ask the artist. They almost always say yes, especially if you give them credit somewhere on the site.

create a new stylesheet for print

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" />

Then you can do this

img{  display: none;}

Me too. BTW: how do you compress a Javascript file? Is it just a zipped file?

ok, what happens when you try to download? What browser are you using?
