A Monkey Talks about ASP.NET

Last week, I was interviewed by Zandra Nilocas from Microsoft Philippines. It was my first time experience to talk about something in front of the camera so it's not surprising that I looked like an idiot in that interview (you know swiveling my chair back and forth without noticing it).

In this post I'll demonstrate how to make a simple collapsible menu using jQuery. To get started let's go ahead and fire up Visual Studio and create a new WebForm.

ProudMonkey Controls for ASP.NET 4.0

Few months ago I have posted an article on how to use the ProudMonkey customized MessageBox, ConfirmBox and FrameBox controls for ASP.NET 3.5 here. Many developers are asking me via email and private messages requesting how to use those controls in ASP.NET 4.0. Obviously the previous dll will not work in ASP.NET 4.0 version because those controls are using AjaxControlToolkit 3.0.1106.0 which is not compatible with .NEt 4.0 version. So if you want to use the MessageBox, ConfirmBox and FrameBox controls...

I wrote a blog post a while back before here that demonstrate how to highlight a GridView row on mouseover and as you can see its very easy to highlight rows in GridView.
