Working Around ASP.NET’s HyperLink ImageUrl Bug

I ran across this bug today but my workaround was surrounding an Image control with anchor tags.

I changed this:

Helpful post I found for handling client & server side functions for drop down list during an onchange event

Drop-down-list Client-side onchange stops Server-side SelectedIndexChanged event?

I was able to change the font-family and font size drop down lists, see example below using VB.NET.

<FTB:FreeTextBox runat="server" ID="ftb" />

Dim fontFaces() As String = {"Time New Roman", "Georgia", "Arial", "Tahoma", "Wingdings"}
Dim fontFaceNames() As String = {"Time", "Georgia", "Arial", "Tahoma", "Wingdings"}
ftb.FontFacesMenuList = fontFaces
ftb.FontFacesMenuNames = fontFaceNames

Note: The list of font sizes available are 1-7, the default is 3.

Dim fontSizes() As String = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"}
Dim fontSizeNames() As String = {"8", "10", "12", "14", "16", "18", "20"}
ftb.FontSizesMenuList = fontSizes
ftb.FontSizesMenuNames = fontSizeNames

Other information related to this issue.

I ran across this problem with an ASP page and found a solution on the Microsoft Support site.

Symptoms:
Active Server Pages (ASP) page, ASP.NET page, Internet Services API (ISAPI) application, or Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application on a Windows Server 2003 server running Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, give the following error messages:

1. HTTP Error 404 – File Not Found
2. HTTP Error 404 – File or Directory not found

Cause:
IIS 6.0 was set to serve only static HTML pages by default on Windows Server 2003

Solution:
Using the IIS manager Allow Active Server Pages under the Web service extensions node.

.NET 3.5 is not a stand alone framework like v2.0 or v1.1 . It is just an extension of the 2.0 framework.
