I gave up trying to think of a good name for the Slightly Risque But Not Cellar-Depth Version Of The Lounge and so renamed it back to The Soapbox in the vein hope that it will be what I originally wanted it to be.

GeneralI am a Prostitute [modified]newmemberBrady Kelly8hrs 7mins ago 
I'm busy with a web site project where I started off using DevExpress controls, which I was going to license when paid for the project. However, I was very disappointed to find that the ASPxComboBox control can't handle multiple display columns. I posted a question on StackOverflow mentioning this and asking about controls that can do this. One very expensive suite was recommended, but it was way out of my league. In fact, it costs about three times what I'm making on the project.

A while later I received an email from the vendor of said expensive suite, offering my a free license if I provide a comparison report between their controls and DevExpress. This was an offer I could not refuse, and now I have a licensed control suite to use in the project, and a dropdown that can handle multiple columns. Smile

GeneralReason for movingnewadminChris Maunder6hrs 56mins ago 
Moved because personally I'm not keen on having "Prostitute" being one of the first words people see on the homepage of the site.

It doesn't out of the box, but they do have a sample in their knowledge base showing exactly how to implement it (although personally speaking, if you need multiple columns in a combo box, it's because you haven't thought through your UI).

Cheers,

GeneralTrouble at the Fat Duckmembermartin_hughes12:29 6 Mar '09  
Apparently over 400 people have fallen ill after eating at the famous Fat Duck[^] restaurant.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. The media keep quoting £120 per head for a meal. When I took my good lady and some friends their last year, it was more like £250 a head not including wine. That in itself is enough to give one the shits! Big Grin

Usual claptrap.
He closed the resteraunt off his own bat after the second incident the miraculously loads of people starting claiming they'd been ill but never told the resteraunt.
