The Page class includes a property called the IsPostBack property, which you can use to detect whether the page has already been posted back to the server.

Because of View State, when you initialize a control property, you do not want to initialize the property every time a page loads. Because View State saves the state of control properties across page posts, you typically initialize a control property only once, when the page first loads.

In fact, many controls don't work correctly if you re-initialize the properties of the control with each page load. In these cases, you must use the IsPostBack property to detect whether or not the page has been posted.

if(!Page.isPostBack)
{
//not postback means first time initiation.
}

Here is the sequence of events that are raised whenever you request a page:

1. PreInit
2. Init
3. InitComplete
4. PreLoad
5. Load
6. LoadComplete
7. PreRender
8. PreRenderComplete
9. SaveStateComplete
10. Unload

Ninety-nine percent of the time, you won't handle any of these events except for the Load and the PreRender events. The difference between these two events is that the Load event happens before any control events and the PreRender event happens after any control events.

SQL Server Express Edition

The Manifold DVD includes a complete distribution of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Express Edition. SQL Server Express provides the power of SQL Server to Manifold System users at no additional charge.

Introduction

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is derived from the same engine upon which Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is built. It is a newer and, in many key ways, better alternative to the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (known as MSDE) distributed in earlier Manifold releases.

When delivered in SQL Server Express form, Microsoft has limited SQL Server in several ways:

§ A database cannot exceed 4 gigabytes in size.

§ SQL Server Express may be installed on a multiple CPU machine, but it will execute (run) only on a single processor or a single processor core if multi-core processors are used.

§ SQL Server Express may be installed on a server with any amount of memory, but will use only up to 1 GB of available RAM memory.

Other than these limitations SQL Server Express provides virtually the full power and breadth of SQL Server capabilities. Although MSDE was limited to no more than five users, SQL Server Express no longer has such an artificial throttle on performance. Within the limits of processor, RAM and maximum database size, SQL Server Express always runs at full speed.

SQL Server 2005 Features Comparison

Note:  If SQL Server 2005 Express is running on Windows XP Home, it is limited to five simultaneous connections. If it is running on Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional, it is limited to 10 simultaneous connections. However, these are limitations of the operating system and not of SQL Server 2005 Express.

Web 2.0 affirms that you can develop a better application, faster, with a handful of developers who know
what they are doing. Conversely, nine mothers cannot make a baby in one month.

The most popular mashups and remixes follow a similar pattern. For example, Google Maps (which
kick-started the rich browser application movement) was developed by a very small company in
approximately two weeks. Productivity and, consequently, business impact is so high because developers
have the tools they need on hand, and because, at the end of the day, the developers know what
they’re doing.

Amazon as a company has adopted the Web 2.0 line of thinking with open arms. Having weathered the
dot-com bubble, it has its sights fixed firmly on the future, and is making great strides toward defining
the direction of its company and, to some degree, the Internet itself.

Amazon allows customers to review products, tag and categorize them, rate products, and even rate
product reviews by other customers.

The Web is alive and well and more compelling than ever. I once sat in a conference room where one
CEO likened the creation of the Internet to the discovery of fire. Now, even with my best propeller hat
firmly in place, I think fire was a little more significant. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of opportunity on
the Web for developers and business people alike.
