Star Trek LCARS - Pocket PC MediaPlayer Skin

Back in the day... 8 years ago (year 2000, remember it?) I built a Star Trek themed Media Player skin for PocketPC... 8 years later, I am doing GOOGLE searches on my name (to see if that criminal history was erased properly) and there is a group of people discussing the very project I am writing of now! YES!

I hadnt thought of it for so long, and am not even certain I have an archived copy of it on any of my old backup CDs, but here it is! I havent tested this skin on Windows Mobile 5 or higher, but believe it should work on any version of the Pocket PC thats not a Smartphone.

I present it here for your downloading pleasure...

This skin is provided free of cost, and you may redistribute it as long as you do not modify it. The original copywrite is the following:

But to clear that cache, it would take an emergency change request, and a modification to the web.config, to force the webserver to clear the application cache. I did it with a button-click! Here's how.

A reader on FORUMS.ASP.NET recently requested some information on the following: "I want to calculate the page load time, like how much time it took for an particular page to load." My answer to this issue was to add yet another item to my ToolBox... Here's the code!

Binding DropDownLists within a GridView to a child table

You are unable to bind the selected value of your dropdownlist to your GridViews datasource BECAUSE your dropdownlist has its OWN datasource which it is bound to. Here is my solution...
