Basically my brother purchased a motor "WITH Warranty" and when there was a problem with motor they have refused to honor their warranty at ALL.

He said they do not call you back. They look for any reason to get out of paying for any warranty service, even though the dealer and mechanics have stated it a PARTS / Motor defect i.e LKQ Corp issue.

They claim its my brother's fault ( who is someone who knows better - he is a vehicle person.

Also they told the dealer to tear everything down to find out what the problem was and then have refused to pay the bill, or to pay to have it put back together.

AGAIN BUYER BEWARE - ( I don't know about you - but seems like a scumbag copany to me )

Well there are many solutions to this issue but this was my problem and how  I fixed it.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps in Visual Studio .NET:
1. In Solution Explorer, select the project name.
2. From the Project menu, click Properties.
3. Click to expand the Configuration Properties node.
4. Under Debugging, in the Enable ASP.NET Debugging list, click True.

Visual Studio, .net debugger, enable debugger.

 I won't buy another Samsung phone.

Currently I have a Top of the line Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant from T-Mobile.

But Samsung as I have come to find out Samsung seems very slack on the technical support side!!

It seems to me and so many other that they are more interested in bringing out new phones and tablets than supporting and upgradding their current customers.

BIG MISTAKE. As I am ready to buy a new Android Dual Core Table, someone said to me check out the new Samsung Tablets 10.1 coming out..

I said "I'll pass on samsung, they dont upgrade their current customers so I can't stick with a company like that".

And needless to say I tell as many people as I can!!

HTC and Motorola here I come.. They seem to update their current phones and tablets faster than anyone.

I'll have to play with their tablets and see which one I choose. I'll post back when I do.

Well the time has come for me to try my hand at mobile platfom development. I am looking to create several games in the same series.

I am now aligned ( as of this weekend ) with a family member ( second cousin ) who is a graphics designer.

I'll be buying a IPAD after christmas, as well as an android tablet or 2 for testing on ( i may even splurge for an iphone ( who knows )

I am come across a nice piece of software that seems to be just what the doctor ordered for this sort of thing. Its called Corona by Anscamobile.com it is a mobile cross platform developmet for IPHONE / IOS 4 and Android devices

http://www.anscamobile.com/

It has all the game physics built in and seems pretty easy to use. The language that it uses is called LUA - a C or C# linke language. It seems very powerful!

I'll keep ya'll posted as the game progresses. I hope to have my first game out by End of Feburary in the Apple App stroe - We shall see.

My new website for Game developmet will be DoubleSlashdesign.com - keep checking it for more game inforamtion... I'll be giving away some free copies when its done.

Single relations are easy to add to your current dataset with multiple tables.

objDataSet.Relations.Add("RelationName", objDataSet.Tables("ParentTableName").Columns("account no"), objDataSet.Tables("Details").Columns("account no"))

Multiple relations require that you create an array of the datacolumns and add them to the relations like so

Dim oParentColumns As DataColumn() = New DataColumn() {objDataSet.Tables("ParentTableName").Columns("COlumnName1"), objDataSet.Tables("ParentTableName").Columns("COlumnName2"), objDataSet.Tables("ParentTableName").Columns("COlumnName3")}

Dim oChildColumns As DataColumn() = New DataColumn() {objDataSet.Tables("ChildTableName").Columns("ChildCOlumnName1"), objDataSet.Tables(.TableName).Columns("ChildCOlumnName12"), objDataSet.Tables(.TableName).Columns("ChildCOlumnName3")}

Dim oRelation As DataRelation = New DataRelation("RelationName", oParentColumns, oChildColumns)

objDataSet.Relations.Add(oRelation)

Enjoy :)

Samsung Vibrant - T-Mobile Android Update

I woke up to a very nice surprise, my Samsung Vibrant had an update ready to install. While I was hoping for 2.2 Froyo ( which did not happen ) I did have several little tidbits waiting for my attention, I received a nice HD Camcorder, and a task manager similar to Advanced Task Killer.

In addition dialer looks to have had a slight change to it, and there seems there are more icons in the application that I need to explorer.

Thanks T-Mobile this should hold me over to a little longer while waiting for Froyo.

Update: - 11/4/2010 - Have had my DV7 back at home now for about a week or so and I must say that HP fixed it up right. It seems to be running smooth and actually cooler than before.

Either it was a bad motherboard or they clocked my CPU's back to run a tad bit slowwer ( I'll have to check that out ).
But HP fixed my computer and did not - I REPEAT did not wipe my drive clean, so all my data programming software was still installed. YEAH - Thanks HP for a JOB WELL DONE.

End Update: - 11/4/2010 -

Well I received my HP Hardware kit to add my 2nd hard drive to my laptop. But before I could even think about doing anything, something goes amiss. My Laptop Dies! - nope its not a Hard drive problem - I know this because while in te BIOS running a system DIAG the screen starts to flake out and shows checkards all over and the freezes, so its wither the motherboard or the ATI graphics card. UG - let me know if anyone else has a problem with a HP DV7.

Just to note a few other things that happened:

1) while in windows 7 the computer would start rebooting after only a minute or so, somtime 10 to 15 min. No it was not overheating because I had a fan blowing directly on it!

2) sometimes when I opened my laptop from sleep mode ( all hybernations was turned off ) the computer would start but the screen would remain black. In order to get it back I would have to hold the power button down and hard boot the computer.

So HP sent me a Prepaid box and Hopefully will be having this puppy back in my hands ASAP Wish me luck.. ( Good Luck Larry )

HP DV7, blue screen, reboot, Screen Black, Motherboard bad

Well I feel very screwed by HP thats for sure.

I have very new HP DV7 Laptop - Fully loaded 8 gig ram.. etc... now this computer comes equipped with a 2nd hard drive bay.

So I buy a 2nd hard drive from NewEgg.com and open the back of my laptop up to pop it in.

Imagine my surprise to find out that there is no connector cable to plug the hard drive up to the computer as well as no bracket cables.

I believe this to be false advertising by HP as they advertise that this laptop is ready to allow you to pop in a 2nd hard drive.

I can not believe that they don't include the cable. I can almost expect holding out on the brackets but the cable, freaking eh - no way.

Next time ( if ever ) I buy another HP laptop - I will demand that the cable be included!!!

And if you are buying one I would demand it before you agree to purchase it!!

Good luck :)

I had this problem and found this solution on the web.

http://www.devproconnections.com/article/aspnet2/Ambiguous-BulletedLists-and-the-AJAX-Control-Toolkit/1.aspx

Seems to me that someone at Microsoft did not Test very well now did they.

asp:BulletedList, ambiguous

Ok this was a HUGE pain in the butt - why because I and you were not looking in the correct place to find this little item. Why is that because for some reason microsoft combined it with the AjaxToolKit dll file that we all happily install.

So where do you find this little baby that everyone is having so much trouble trying to locate? Right under your nose, that's right look at the bottom of that Ajax Contol Toolk Kit tab you imported for .net 3.5 or .net 4 it will be listed there.

Just drag and drop it onto your form and your all done. Now wasn't that Pain Free?

I have one question - Why in the HELL could I not find this little tid bit on any freaking microsoft blog - eh?
