This is a dumping ground of software development topics that I've run across and found interesting (mainly .NET development). Many topics are covered more thoroughly in other places, and much of the information is gleaned from other places, and I'll try to credit those sources when possible.

ASP.NET Panel with empty GroupingText

Using the GroupingText property of an asp:Panel will cause a pretty box to surround a group of controls, but sometimes I want to have that box without the text. I set GroupingText=" " hoping it would be interpreted as no text, but instead you can see the space in the box, which is annoying. Checking out the client side HTML (and MSDN documentation), I found the panel is represented as FIELDSET and LEGEND elements. By replacing the asp:Panel elements with fieldset, and not specifying a legend, I get the caption-free box I want. Note that you may have to put your fieldset in a div to get the style you want, like width. Simple example below:

<asp:Panel runat="server" GroupingText="Group of controls" Width="300px">
A panel using GroupingText="Group of controls"
</asp:Panel>
<br />

<asp:Panel runat="server" GroupingText=" " Width="300px">
A panel using GroupingText=" " (see gap in box above?)
</asp:Panel>
<br />

<div style="width: 300px;">
<fieldset runat="server">
A fieldset to get a solid box with no text.
</fieldset>
</div>

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring
a blog post or vice-versa? My blog addresses a
lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit
from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog
by the way!

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering
if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my

Thanks a lot!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what youre talking about,
why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when
you could be giving us something informative to read?

I am curious to find out what blog platform you happen to
be using? I'm having some small security issues with my latest blog and I'd
like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?

you share some stories/information. I know my readers would appreciate your work.

Please let me know if you're looking for a author for your site. You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely
love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link
back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested.
Many thanks!

Hey! I know this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established website such as yours take a large
amount of work? I am brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal every day.
I'd like to start a blog so I can share my experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or
tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
