First of all I am so happy to know that many developers around the world uses my controls (~ it's really a big surprise to me. =} ). Thank you all and hope you'll continue to provide feedback or feature suggestions so that I can work on it on my free time. I've seen a lot of developers asking me via email, forums, blog comments, and private messages requesting how to use those controls in ASP.NET 4.0 with the latest release of AjaxControlToolkit. As you may know the previous dll of ProudMonkey controls ......
A developer is asking how to pass data from a UserControl control to the main page. Basically, the scenario is that he has a user control which contains a GridView and wrap arround within asp Ajax UpdatePanel control. The UserControl will then be used at the page that is hosted within a master page. The page contains some TextBox in which it will be populated once the user selects a row from the GridView also on that page the Modalpop is defined. To achieve that, here's one solution I've provided ......

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). Anyway in the interview we talked about ASP.NET WebForms, MVC and Web Matrix in general and just to elaborate a bit of what we talked about and to clarify things out, I have decided to write this post... WebForms ......
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. Now let's build our menu by adding some div, p and anchor tags. Since I'm using a masterpage then the ASPX mark-up should look something like this: 1: <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainC... runat="server"> 2: <div id="Menu"> 3: <p>CARS</p> 4: <div class="section"> 5: <a href="#">Car ......

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 ......
In my previous post I have demonstrated how to upload an image to a folder and display the image after uploading here. In this post I will extend a little bit of what I have demonstrated on my previous post. Basically I'm going to demonstrate how to display all the uploaded images from the folder in the web page on click of the Button. Here's the html mark up: ASPX: 1: <asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" /> 2: <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Upload" onclick="Button1_Click" ......
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. One of my colleague uses the same technique for implemeting gridview row highlighting but the problem is that if a Column has background color on it that cell will not be highlighted anymore. To make it more clear then let's build up a sample application. ASPX: 1: <asp:GridView runat="server" id="GridView1" onrowcreated="GridView1_Row... ......
In my previous post I wrote a simple demo on how to Calculate Totals in GridView and Display it in the Footer. Basically what it does is it calculates the total amount by typing into the TextBox and display the grand total in the footer of the GridView and basically it was a server side implemenation. Many users in the forums are asking how to do the same thing without postbacks and how to calculate both amount and total amount together. In this post I will demonstrate how to do this using JavaScript. ......

There are times that we need to set the border color of the GridView just like in my case, I was told to set the border color of GridView to a particular color instead of the default black. What I did is simply use the BorderColor property of the GridView and set it declaratively like below: <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" GridLines="Both" BorderColor="Red"><as... Here's how it looks when we run that one in the browser. Firefox 3.5 Safari 5 IE 8 Noticed that in IE8 ......

In my previous example we talked about how to fetch data from database and how to populate the form with data using L2S. In this example I’m going to extend a little bit of what I have demonstrated in my previous example. Basically I’m going to show you the basic way on how to edit and delete data from the form and update the database using L2S technology. Since this is a continuation of my previous example so I would suggest you to refer that first before you go any further. STEP 1: Setting up the ......

So I would suggest you to take a look at my previous example first before you proceed reading this example. STEP 1: Setting up the GUI To get started, add a new WebForm ......
Technorati Tags: ASP.NET,General I often see questions at forums(http://forums.asp.net) asking stuffs like: Where to begin? Where Do I start? How to Get Started? So I decided to write this "boring" post to express my opinion and hopefully this can help beginners find their way to get started with ASP.NET. Based on my experience learning ASP.NET is just like learning how to play a guitar.. (oh really? why could I say that? ).(1) First you must have this what we call "interest" because if you don't, ......
Few months ago I've been seeing many users in the forum asking how to generate dynamic textbox on the form and save the values to the database on Button click, so I've decided to write this post and wrap up all the examples that I wrote before on how to accomplish the task using different controls so that when I encounter such or similar questions again in the forum, I can simply refer them to this post. Here are those examples: Using ASP Table: FAQ: Dynamically Adding Rows in ASP Table on Button ......

Ok it seems that lot’s of members at the forums is asking on how to display multi-line text in a JavaScript pop up box. So I decided to write this example so that other developers can reference it or if I encounter such a post in the forum then I can simply point them in this example. Check the following code blocks below: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/19... <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> ......
In my previous two examples, we have learned on how to Upload and Save the Image to a Folder and path to database and how to Save the Image to the Database. The two previous examples only tackle the basics about uploading and saving a file without validating the file to be uploaded. In this example, I’m going to show on how to validate a file that only allows image files to be uploaded using server side validations. Here are the code blocks below: private void StartUpLoad() { if (FileUpload1.HasFile) ......
In my previous example, we have learned on how to save the actual image to a folder and image path to the database.

In this example I’m going to show the basic way on how to bind a different collections to a DropDownList control. Note that you can also apply the code mentioned in this example to a ListBox, RadioButtonList and CheckBoxList. I just used DropDownList for this demo because I think it is the most commonly used in the page. To get started, let’s go ahead and grab a DropDownList control from the Visual Studio toolbox and place it in the WebForm. The ASPX mark up should look something like below: <html ......
I decided to post this because I wan't to share this information that I have gathered during my investation about ASPNET WebParts last 2007. Maybe this will be useful for those who are using ASPNET WebParts in ASPNET 2.0. Basically this information shows the difference between the Standard WebParts that shipped in ASP.NET 2.0, ASPNET Futures and My Custom WebPart with Custom Verbs. Main OBJECTIVES: * Allows cross browser drag and drop capability (can be moved between WebZones) * Ajax enabled Findings ......

In order to achieve this, we need to create a custom webpartzone with custom verb option “move right/move left” button. See Figure 1. Figure 1 The first thing to do is we need to create those custom verbs options by extending ......
