Thanks for any help folks:

I have two .aspx pages that are workling well: one is for entering
entries in a blog and another for viewing those entries. What I want
to do is combine the two into one so I have a textbox and submit
button at the top and the blog entries below. Any ideas?


Here is my entry page:


<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<script runat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
Using ds As New DataSet()
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("blog.xml"))
txtNewEvent.DataBind()
txtDate.DataBind()
End Using
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
Using ds As New DataSet()
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("blog.xml"))
Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables(0).NewRow()
dr("entry") = txtNewEvent.Text
dr("name") = txtDate.Text
ds.Tables(0).Rows.Add(dr)
ds.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("blog.xml"))
Response.Redirect("http://site.com/Default.aspx")
End Using
End Sub


Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("http://site.com/Default.aspx")
End Sub

I didn't read your code, but I have a suggestion none the less.

What you might try is to convert your Pages into ASP.NET UserControls
and add them to a single page, one positioned on top of the other one.

Thanks,
