I got tired of visiting the AdSense page all the time, well from time to time. I already have done an iPhone app so now I created a iGoogle gadget to display the most important stats and also a chart! So, with the help of Mono I was able to have everything setup and tested […]

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of ASP.Net code developed on VS.Net and IIS and deployed (via a cool subversion hook I might add) to my server running mod_mono on Fedora. Usually there aren’t many issue except for the occasional OS specific thing. But today I’ve hit not 1 but 2 hard to figure problems. […]

I’ve been developing a large application with ASP.Net Ajax and ExtJS. It all works great together and in fact ASP.Net is just a easy way to access my .Net code/web services because the whole UI done with ExtJS constructed/controlled by javascript/Ajax. When it comes to a 100% javascript UI there are some cases where you’ll […]

ASP.Net Ajax features are very good, even great if you consider the useful integration with other ASP.Net constructs. PageMethods are one of the easiest ways to implement an AJAX call without too much trouble or the need to implement a complete web service page if you’re only going to use this particular Ajax call from […]

ASP.Net provides out-the-box several nice (although not new) features to manage your application’s state, the Session and Application objects. The Session and Application objects are also among the first things learned by students of almost any web programming framework but while they are true in their usefulness it doesn’t mean you should use them directly, […]

A few days ago if you asked me if Microsoft would ever include an open source piece of code in one of their products, I would say you were insane just for asking! There’s no way! Well, Microsoft is planning to amaze me along with everyone else. ASP.Net and Visual Studio will start shipping with […]

One of the problems with ASP.Net when trying to keep a degree of separation between project components is that you can’t easily implement a page or a user control inside a library project and simply reference it from the main ASP.Net project. This, I think, its not entirely by lack of vision or interest from […]

It’s one of the most common issues on the ASP.Net Web 2.0 era, how to add dynamic controls at server side… but that’s a well explored territory as you can check by simply googling it. As a reference I recommend this series of 4 articles. There are 2 problems not so easy to handle, the […]

If you’ve a piece of code similar to this one, and try to use the control inside an UpdatePanel then you might be surprised to see that triggering that event will in fact do a complete PostBack of the page (read Refresh-like-Postback): public override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { Response.Write(“Button”, Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(this, “onclick”)); } The reason is […]

No more Refletor. Now Visual Studio 2008 will enable you to debug and see the core .Net source making our life easier when trying to understand the “Voodoo Inside”. Not exactly Open Source and doesn’t include the VM or compilers but still an important move towards compatibility between implementations. Initially Microsoft will release the source […]

For a while now I’ve been developing Web Magic, previously know as ePortal, a web-based ASP.Net designer that focus on easy-to-use features instead of hard-core developers. Although getting the initial version running was painful due to the lack of documentation I managed to get it implemented a long while ago. We’ve been developing more and […]

One of the lovely things about most Linux distributions is a central package management system. It allows you to update most of your software with a few clicks as well as install/remove just as easily. Yet something has been bothering my mind as I develop a new application, and is placing a question mark on […]

Every day new sites with AJAX appear and it looks like AJAX had come to stay. ASP.Net, as every other reputable web framework, must take it into account. It must provide the right tools to every scenario. What are the scenarios then? HTML Until AJAX gained momentum, this was the only possible scenario. If you […]

Today I whished to add RSS and Atom support to one of my projects. When I took a look at the standard I realised it would be naif to spend time trying to support all the versions and imcompabilities of RSS. I then searched for projects implementing this and found one, to RSS, that fitted […]

For my current job in ePortal I’ve been designing some new controls that mostly add features not present in the HTML native ones. One such features is the ability to add an icon (or something else like a checkbox) to a dropdown list (combobox). How do we solve this? By implementing it using HTML, but […]
