Microsoft is making New Years Resolutions come true.  Mine are so big that I am not sure how they could help but thought I would lay it out here for you.

2015 New Years Resolution

To get out of debt enough that I can concentrate on bringing my ideas to fruition.  For years I have been making software for my employers while never seeming to have the time to develop my own ideas.  Over the years I have supported domains that I one day will have the time to work on.

Some of my domains:

ItsaBigDeal.com
I envision a daily deal (similar to Woot) and a subscription site combined  If you don't know what a subscription site is - they are becoming a big deal
(see mysubscriptionaddiction.com)

ReportMinder.com
Wow software out there for daycares/elderly care centers has some deficiencies and I think I can build a better web/app based software

UltimateSpaces.com
Not sure what I want to do with this domain but it is a great domain.

Some of the regionally specific domains I purchased for one reason or another:

JCInsider.com - Johnson County Magazine of business and social events
GetFitCleburne.com - City wide fitness initiative
DFWNetwork.com - All things DFW? Maybe a business directory - thought of this before Angie's List came along

And if you just want to make me an offer on one of these domains... so that I can take off some time to develop another one ... I am okay with that too!

Sorting Ascending and Descending

-
Toggling the direction of your datagrid sort is easy using a session to remember which direction you sorted last.   You will want to declare an empty string in the top of your page       Dim SortField As String Then on your sort command add this logic - Example of entire command Private Sub dgTaskExceptions_SortCommand( ByVal source As Object , ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles dgTaskExceptions.SortCommand     SortField = e.SortExpression If Session( "toggle" ) = True Then SortField += " DESC" Session( "toggle" ) = False Else SortField += " Asc" Session( "toggle" ) = True End If Dim orderstring As String = SortField 'REBIND dgTaskExceptions.DataSource = POTracking_Data.tracking.getSampleTasks(orderstring) dgTaskExceptions.DataBind() End Sub   In my datalayer I add this logic to my query and pass in an OPTIONAL value Dim orderbyString As String = String .Empt
