Create new headers for your DataGrid with the DataGridItem object (ASP.NET)

If you'd like to create new DataGrid headers to visually separate your grid rows, you can do so quite easily with the DataGridItem object. Creating new DataGrid headers with this object is a three-step process. You start with a new DataGridItem object. Then, you add Cells to the DataGridItem, and finally you add the DataGridItem to the DataGrid, like so:

Dim dgItem As DataGridItem
dgItem = New DataGridItem(0, 0, ListItemType.Header)

Dim dgCell As TableCell
dgCell = New TableCell
dgCell.Text = "someval"

dgItem.Cells.Add(dgCell)

DataGrid1.Controls(0).Controls.AddAt(0, dgItem)

This codë creates a new DataGrid header with one table cell and adds it to the first row of DataGrid1 on a Web form.

Protect your web browser from phishing attacks

Spoofing is a term used to describe methods of faking various parts of the browser user interface. This may include the address or location bar, the status bar, the padlock, or other user interface elements. Phishing attacks often utilize some form of spoofing to help convince the user to provide personal information. If a user's browser is vulnerable to spoofing, they are more likely to fall victim to a phishing attack. You can search the US-CERT and CERT/CC web sites for malicious scripting and content vulnerabilities at the following URL: http://search.us-cert.gov (use the search term browser+spoof). The US-CERT document "Technical Trends in Phishing Attacks" (available at http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/phishing_trends0511.pdf) has more information about spoofing and phishing techniques.
