ASP.NET GridView "ShowFooter"

Sometimes it's the small things that get you...

Uh, not that it ever happened to me, but in case you can't get your GridView template footer to show up...don't forget 'ShowFoooter="true"' :)

<asp:GridView ID="grdListings" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" BorderWidth="0" 
AllowPaging="true" PageSize="5" OnPageIndexChanging="grdListings_PageIndexChanging" ShowFooter="true">
                   
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
                                    
<HeaderTemplate>
Header         
</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>
Item
</ItemTemplate>

<FooterTemplate>
Footer
</FooterTemplate>
                                    
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Install Ruby without openssl

When installing Ruby on an old machine, I got this error:


ruby make[1]: *** [ossl_ssl.o] Error 1


Other than installing openssl, which wasn't option, install ruby without openssl:


$ ./configure prefix=/home/doug/bin/ruby --without-openssl

I've decided to create a Ruby only blog, though I'll keep cross posting here for now...who knows, I may change my mind and just keep the one blog here...

Viewing .CHM files on Mac OS X - Chmox

I tried several Mac options and had no luck (xchm froze, libchmxx has a utility called chmdissect - it worked, but no images)...finally, I struck gold with Chmox.

1) Install CHMLIB - http://www.jedrea.com/chmlib/

% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install

2) Install Chmox - http://chmox.sourceforge.net/

The binary is a standard dmg file...click on the dmg file and move the application over to your application directory.
