1. VF Tag Currency Formating - I'm using the following to format my currency, it works mostly fine, but in case of 0 values, it shows .00 instead of 0.00 - any suggestion ?

<apex:outputText value="{0,number, #,###,###.00}" >
<apex:param value="{!item.totalCost}" />
</apex:outputText>

2. Also curious, Decimal.SetScale(2, RoundingMode) rounds properly in controller , and I checked in view state, but when I show it in VF page, its chopping the last 0  for certain cases, ex:, 60.00 to 60.0 , anybody noticed this issue ?

Thanks

I like to write a util method for field describe, with can describe on given "Object", "Field",  But current apex feature doesn't seems to allow it, 

//this one will allow some flexibility in changing field names as per requirement. 

Sobject sobj = new Opportunity();

Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = sobj.get('Status').getDescribe(); 

//currently we can do this, but not useful much,

  Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = Opportunity.Status.getDescribe();  

Thanks

Question about View State:

I assume there is View State exchange between client browser and visualforce in all cases even  if  there is no change in data in client side, if this case is true, any idea why this view state is posted back to client browser, even though there is no changed in data ? Its kind of similar to etag, but in case of etag, the server sends only no change message.

Thanks

Ram

It would be nice to know more about apex runtime & apex memory management in general, right now there is not much professional articile availble over web, its better if salesforce team publishes it in their blog ?

Hope most people like to know about this stuff as well.

I want to restrict partner users  access to accounts and they should  only see one account in the portal, my approach is to use apex sharing , i guess sharing rule won't help since it always shares one or more records based on criteria

is apex sharing the only way to do it or any other way its possible to share one record with partner user.
