Alternating Row colors in a VS 2008 .rdlc table

So I'm building several reports within my application and I wanted to have the functionality that the visual studio report builder gives me. I'm currently using Report Builder v8.0 because I have to construct for the 2.0 framework.

Anyway, here is my problem: I want to do alternating row colors within my table. In the backcolor property I have the function

=iif(RowNumber("DataSet_GetPersonData") Mod 2, "BurlyWood", "White")

If I put this in the backcolor property of the table, the rows inherit only the second color, "white." If I put this in the backcolor property of the row instead, I get the desired look (first row brown, second row white, etc) except the first column doesn't inherit either of the colors. Instead it remains transparent. I've modified the scope several times, using "nothing" and "table 1" instead of "DataSet_GetPersonData" getting the same results each time. What the heck am I doing wrong?? Confused | :confused:

UPDATE:

Turns out when you are developing web applications you should test your product on browsers that don't begin with Mozilla and end in Firefox. Works fine in I.E. I lose. Frown | :(

You want to Check if the Username and Password Exists in your table, So you can Write a SProc to count the records in the DB and in your class you can have a function that will tell you if the records exists , if it does not , you can return a message to your user that says "invalid Login". Remember dont display to much info, because you might get injected.

Hope this Helps

Get mimetype of a file

Hi there! How can we get the mimetype of a file without using is extension?
I have a lot of .dat file on a server and I wanna know what is the mimetype of each of them. But all I found is fonction/properties related to the extension of the file! It's a no brainer to know that a .xls is an Excel type file Smile | :)

Anyone has a clue?

Thanks.

No, there's no way to get the mime type without the extension unless you want to try opening the file and try to read it as if it's a file of the desired mime type.

Additionally to what John said, you need to open the file and check the file header (if existent) against a list of known file headers.

Read the first n bytes (e.g. using the BinaryReader) and see if they match any known header bytes.

Ok, I tought there was some kinda headers like in HTTP request.
I got a list of "headers", but it's mainly a trial and error method, but it seems to work for some mimetypes...so far

Yes it is. Simply write it and reference it just like a normal reference. Once compiled there is no difference between an assembly original written in vb.net and one written in c#

Well its Possible, but you should not use Different version of Visual Studio to do that, but i remember i wanted to use a C# function i created in Visual Studio 2005. So what you can do Complile your Project and reference the DLL in the other Project from your vb.net Project and that should work.
