Virtual Brown Bag Recap
I haven't posted a recap lately, because the Virtual Brown Bag recordings weren't being uploaded for a while. That was fixed two weeks ago, so I had a lot of meetings to catch up on. Here's an all-you-can-eat brown bag buffet… March 3 Guest presenter Jim Christopher - creator of StudioShell, a deeply integrated PowerShell host available inside of Visual Studio 2010 and 2008. StudioShell exposes many of Visual Studio’s extensibility points in a simple and consistent way, and it makes the Visual Studio ......

jQuery UI autocomplete / IE6 fix with bgiframe plug-in
Technorati Tags: jQuery,JavaScript I'm using the jQuery UI Autocomplete plug-in on my current intranet project, and am impressed with how powerful and easy to use it is. It works great on my development PC with Internet Explorer 8, and I was very pleased with myself. …until I tested on one of our "thin client" machines, and my beautiful autocomplete dropdown looked like Swiss cheese: The browser on the thin-client is, you guessed it - everybody's favorite browser - IE6. IE6 has z-index issues that ......

Quality Equality with JavaScript: "===" > "=="
Technorati Tags: JavaScript Did you know that there are two equality operators in JavaScript? The one that's used most often is the double equal sign ("==") operator. The "==" operator does type coercion. The following example returns true, even though we're comparing a string and a number: if ('5' == 5) That's not too bad, but you probably wouldn't expect the following examples to return true: if (0 == '') if (0 == false) if (false == undefined) if ("\r\n" == 0) They all do though, thanks to JavaScript's ......

"Cloning" divs with jQuery
Technorati Tags: jQuery,JavaScript I'm sure I've "invented" a technique that's been done by many others (and I don't doubt that there's a slicker way to do it), but… Sometimes I'll want to have an identical chunk of HTML repeated more than once on a web page, for example: a search page with "Search" and "Clear Fields" buttons both above and below the search field inputs. I'd like to just render that HTML once on the server, than "clone" it on the client. For my site, I established a convention where ......

Kansas City Developer Conference Recap
Technorati Tags: .NET,Kansas City Thanks to the KC development community for a great free event. The Johnson County Community College provided very nice facilities. I’m the sort of guy who would willingly drive 4+ hours each way for a free XL (or “developer medium”, as Richard Campbell calls it) T-shirt, but got a lot more than that out of the event. Here's a recap of the sessions I attended: Why Kanban? speaker: Troy Tuttle Troy is a “pragmatic agilist” at AdventureTech (not AdventureWorks – I was ......

Hello, T4MVC – Goodbye, ASP.NET MVC “magic strings”
Technorati Tags: ASP.NET,ASP.NET MVC,T4MVC I’m working on my first ASP.NET MVC project, and I really, really like MVC. I hate all of the “magic strings”, though: <div id="logindisplay"> <% Html.RenderPartial("LogOnUs... %> </div> <div id="menucontainer"> <ul id="menu"> <li><%=Html.Action... Dinner", "Index", "Dinners")%></li> <li><%=Html.Action... Dinner", "Create", "Dinners")%></li> <li><%=Html.Action... ......

WatiN screenshot saver
Technorati Tags: .NET,WatiN,testing In addition to my automated unit, system and integration tests for ASP.NET projects, I like to give my customers something pretty that they can look at and visually see that the web site is behaving properly. I use the Gallio test runner to produce a pretty HTML report, and WatiN (Web Application Testing In .NET) to test the UI and create screenshots. I have a couple of issues with WatiN’s “CaptureWebPageToFile” method, though: It blew up the first (and only) time ......

St. Louis .NET User Group – Muljadi Budiman: “What's new in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 Framework”
Muljadi Budiman was the top-rated speaker at the recent St. Louis Day of .NET event, and it’s easy to see why. His presentations are energetic, humorous, and packed with useful information. At tonight’s St. Louis .NET User Group meeting, he zipped through an overview of Visual Studio 2010 and 4.0 features of C#, VB, WPF, the CLR and the DLR in a little over 90 minutes. Highlights included: VS2010: multi-monitor support Call Hierarchy visualizer “Navigate To” improvements “Consume-First Development” ......

Getting Serious About JavaScript
Like many ASP.NET developers, I’ve gotten by for years knowing just enough JavaScript to get by. I’ve spent many frustrating hours cursing the language, when the problem was not really JavaScript (although it has more than its share of weirdness), but my assumption that I knew how it worked, just because it looks like C#. Now, thanks in large part to jQuery, I actually enjoy client-side programming. jQuery makes things so much easier (replacing dozens of lines of code that I painstakingly figured ......
