ToolPath Priority (almost) working
I’ve got my program to act as if it’s functioning correctly. And in fact, the only thing I’m missing (aside from tweaks) is the actual connection to the database. I’m very proud of myself. Unfortunately, I can’t display the stuff here as this site does not support ASP.Net. Sorry.
I do have one very large complaint: I wish VS would quit “helping” me format my html file. It insists on reducing my inline CSS to one line per class/tag/id. Grrr. And it insists on “correctly” my html “mistakes.” Except that they’re not mistakes it’s just that VS doesn’t recognize that my document is xHTML instead of HTML (yes, I have a proper doctype). Sigh. The editor isn’t so bad with my js & C# files (although I wish it were a little more helpful with js functions and attributes…) But it’s workable.
I still have some issues to clean up. I’d like to have some sort of “progress” image or text to show that the server’s off doing something (i.e. saving the info). But I can’t get it to work. I believe the issue is because it’s a synchronous call. Only I can’t seem to get the async to function. I’m still working at it but I decided that I’d live with what I could get to test the rest of the functionality. I’m still a little confused on the whole service function call. lol. Other than the db connectivity, I’ve got a little bit more error checking and maybe a few other “niceties” for the user and then I’m done. Whoot!
