ASP.net AJAX
OK, so for some reason you have a mega mashup solution with ASP.net AJAX, jQuery and web forms. Perhaps you are just on the migration from AjaxControlToolkit to the jQuery UI framework – who knows!! Anyway, the problem is that when you post back with something like an UpdatePanel, you will find that your nicely setup jQuery stuff, like the datepicker for example will no longer work. You may have something like this… $(document).ready(function () { $(".date-edit").datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",...
Right, the virtual server is up and running...time to soak up some SharePoint...get some dnrTv episodes down my throat. Sahil Malik recorded a series of SharePoint episodes, 4 in fact. He starts with what happens when SharePoint is installed and finishes with some massive XML files for a Business Data Catalogue application. Tip: They are an hour long, so watch it in fast mode, the talking speed is still good and it only takes 30 mins to watch. Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Note: You can...

Day one is over at MIX UK. As my first experience of a Microsoft conference I must say I was not disappointed :) The conference opened with a keynote from George Moore and Scott Guthrie and lots of small demos from third party companies and the little apps they have developed using MS technologies, mainly Silverlight, which is the main theme of the conference, well day one at least!! In the first and second session I stayed with ScottGu and watched as he ripped through the power of silverlight, present...

So the other day I was adding a “news page” to one of my projects and thought it was a great chance to play with consuming some other RSS feeds that had related information to what I was working on. So I started looking round and found the RSS Toolkit that had an RSS Data Source control that is perfect for consuming RSS feeds – the toolkit actually does much more, you should have a read on Dmitry’s blog (he wrote the toolkit and in on the ASP.net team) download the toolkit here. I have also used...
So they have released ASP.net AJAX RC1 which is apparently the penultimate release before the fully supported product. Couple of new features...

The assembly Microsoft.Wev.Extensions.dll has changed to System.Web.Extension.dll and the namespace Microsoft.Web has changed to System.Web Two reasons for the change...

I'm sure there are many that have had headaches over this - you spent hours doing "find and replace" jobs throughout your project only to find that despite an errorless build you have the red squigglies all over the place...and I'm sure you have also found that the solution is to change the tag prefix in the web.config from asp to something like Ajax. Well the bug is official! read more about it here on Scott Gu's blog. Basically he suggests to do the above with the tag prefix or (as the bug only...
This is an awesome little tool; "Web Development Helper is an Internet Explorer plugin that provides a set of useful tools to both Ajax/JavaScript developers as well as asp.net page and control developers." You can download it here, for those who are unaware the guy who wrote it Nikhil Kothari is an architect on the asp.net team, he has a few projects you can see here. One (Script#) is a C# compiler that outputs JavaScript!! How cool is that...
In my last post I went over a couple of problems I am found while migrating to the new AJAX beta framework. Mainly this was related to Web Services with a little on the Cascading drop down control...I have since got some more info in about this control so instead of updating that post I thought that the Cascading drop down deserved one all of its own!!! :) I am only going to cover the problems I found when migrating; this is not a tutorial on using the control. There are plenty of those around! 1....
I am currently converting my app from Atlas CTP to ASP.net AJAX, I am having a few problems here and there...least of all intellisense doesn't work but the page builds and displays??
