Monday, September 29 2008

When we start a new project, there are some common practices that should be followed on the following project. Regarding my development experience on previous 12 ASP.NET projects, I have listed some few practices which can be followed by a developer while developing an ASP.NET application. The Practices Login page: 1. Include cookie based “Remember me” check box. 2. Include a “Forgot password” link, the user can request for password. 3.

Friendly URLs with URL mappings : Marco Bellinaso

Thursday, September 25 2008

This sample extract from the Wrox's book "ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming" shows how to set-up the new url-mapping feature built-into the ASP.NET 2.0 framework. You no longer need to manually code a custom HttpModule! The more meaningful and short a URL can be, the better. Those URLs are easier to communicate to people, and easier for them to remember. The current URLs that allow us to browse articles for a specific category are already pretty short, but it’s not easy to remember all category IDs by heart . . . and thus to remember the URL. ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a new section in web.config that...

Formatting the DataList and Repeater Based Upon Data : Scott Mitchell

Wednesday, September 17 2008

As we saw in the preceding tutorial, the DataList offers a number of style-related properties that affect its appearance. In particular, we saw how to assign default CSS classes to the DataList’s HeaderStyle, ItemStyle, AlternatingItemStyle, and SelectedItemStyle properties. In addition to these four properties, the DataList includes a number of other style-related properties, such as Font, ForeColor, BackColor, and BorderWidth, to name a few. The Repeater control does not contain any style-related properties. Any such style settings must be made directly within the markup in the Repeater’s templates...

How to Popup a Window Using DIV Layer in ASP.NET 1.x/2.x : Bilal Haidar

Tuesday, September 16 2008

In a project I am currently working on (ASP.NET 1.1), one of the Web Forms included has a set of three controls that represent a certain feature in the system. Suppose those controls are simple DropDownLists. When a value is being selected in the first DropDownList, the data present in the second DropDownList should be filtered by the first value selected. The same idea applies on the third DropDownList. This form is going to be used by end users who know nothing about ASP.NET or about development in general. All they want is a fancy web form that makes their life easy. A decision has to be made...

Get the Most Out of Windows Forms Controls : Steve C. Orr

Thursday, August 28 2008

Developers love Web applications because they are easier to deploy than Windows applications. But developers love Windows applications because functionally rich user interfaces can be created rapidly. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds? In this article I’ll show you how you can have your cake and eat it too by supercharging your ASP.NET Web pages with Windows Forms controls. Why Use Windows Forms Controls? There are many examples of things that can be done easily with Windows Forms controls that would be difficult or impossible with Web controls alone. For example, there is no...

Formatting data in columns with ASP.NET's DataList control : Tony Patton

Wednesday, August 27 2008

ASP.NET provides plenty of data controls to present data in a variety of ways. One common format is displaying a list of items in column format. Learn how to achieve this layout with the DataList control. I was recently talking to a developer about presenting data on a Web page in columns. That is, individual data elements are repeated across the page in a set number of columns and this is repeated down the page. The developer was writing a lot of code to make the Repeater control do the trick. While this approach works, it is much simpler to use the DataList data control....

Adding support for styles : Bipin Joshi

Wednesday, August 20 2008

In the previous lesson you learnt to develop a basic control. Your control inherited from the Control base class and emitted some HTML markup by overriding the Render() method of the base class. Though the control worked fine it lacked one important feature - support for formatting properties such as Font and ForeColor. Fortunately, the WebControl class from System.Web.UI.WebControls namespaces comes with inbuilt support for such properties. Instead of inheriting your control from the Control base class if you inherit from the WebControl control then your custom control can also avail these features...
