ASP.NET Databinding and jQueryUI

G. Andrew Duthie — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 23:12:00 GMT

In this installment of DevNuggets, Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka DEvHammer) demonstrates how you can easily add fun and function to your ASP.NET-based website using jQueryUI.

This DevNugget is a follow-up to Andrew's introduction to using jQueryUI in ASP.NET and in it you'll see how easy it is to dynamically generate the markup required to build a jQueryUI Accordion widget using an ASP.NET Repeater control bound to an ADO.NET Data Service. Databinding with a Repeater makes it quick and easy to generate clean markup that's tailor-made for integration with jQueryUI.

DevNugget - Debugging Tips and Tricks Part 5

Brian Johnson — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:01:00 GMT

In the fifth and final debugging screencast by Brian Hitney, we'll look at how to use the set next statement while debugging. We'll also look at setting up the .NET Reference Source Code for stepping through the .NET BCLs, followed by some exception handling tips. Finally, we'll take a look at using Mole (a VS visualizer) to further enhance the debugging experience.

DevNugget - Debugging Tips and Tricks Part 4

Brian Johnson — Sat, 23 May 2009 16:48:00 GMT

This is another DevNugget screencast from Brian Hitney.

In the previous screencasts, we looked at setting breakpoints and how to work with advanced breakpoints, filters, and working with multiple threads. We also took a quick look at tracepoints. In part 4, we'll look at the watch windows, the immediate window, and Make Object ID command.

DevNugget - Debugging Tips and Tricks Part 3

Brian Johnson — Thu, 14 May 2009 22:42:00 GMT

This is a DevNugget video from Brian Hitney: In parts 1 and 2, we looked at setting breakpoints, and talked about setting up advanced breakpoints using hit counts and some simple conditions. In part 3, we’ll dive a little deeper into some conditions by writing methods to help debug our application, then look at using the filter breakpoint modifier to debug multithreaded applications. Finally, we’ll take a quick look at tracepoints.

DevNugget - Debugging Tips and Tricks Part 2

Brian Johnson — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:26:00 GMT

This is a DevNugget video from Brian Hitney:

Part 1 was a pretty basic introduction to setting breakpoints. Now it’s time to have a bit more fun! In part 2, I’ll look at using breakpoint modifiers – specifically, using the hit count modifier, and then the condition modifier. The condition modifier can be incredibly powerful – while we can corrupt the state of our application pretty easily (as I’ll demonstrate), it starts to open a whole new world for debugging more efficiently.

DataBinding to a Web Service in ASP.NET 2.0

G. Andrew Duthie — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 12:21:00 GMT

One of the cool new features of ASP.NET 2.0 is its rich declarative databinding. In addition to traditional techniques like databinding to a back-end SQL database, you can also databind to web services, using the ObjectDataSource.

In this DevNugget, Mid-Atlantic .net Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka .net DEvHammer) shows you how you can very quickly create a web service to return structured data using a .net 2.0 DataSet class, then how you can easily bind your web service to an ASP.NET 2.0 GridView control using the ObjectDataSource, including both displaying and updating data.

Custom Validation Schemas in Visual Studio 2005

G. Andrew Duthie — Wed, 10 May 2006 20:38:00 GMT

One cool new feature available in Visual Studio 2005 is the ability to take advantage of Intellisense statement completion in the Source view of an ASP.NET Web Form. In addition, Visual Studio 2005 provides validation of your markup.

Both of these features are driven by XSD schemas that are installed with Visual Studio 2005, so you can change the schema on the fly, to test your markup for compatibility with a variety of browsers.

Thanks to Mikhail Arkhipov from the ASP.NET team, I was able to put together a demonstration of this feature, including creating and using your own custom XSD schema to drive Intellisense and validation.

In this DevNugget, .net Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka .net DEvHammer), shows you how you can quickly and easily create and register a custom XSD schema that allows get Intellisense and validation of your schema within the Web Form source view window.

Drag and Drop Databinding in ASP.NET 2.0

G. Andrew Duthie — Tue, 09 May 2006 14:37:00 GMT

When I say "drag & drop" databinding, I bet most folks think of dragging controls from the Visual Studio 2005 toolbox onto the web form.

But that's not the only way to make quick work of databinding in ASP.NET 2.0.

In this DevNugget, .net Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka .net DEvHammer), shows you how you can quickly and easily create databound controls that allow you to display and edit data, directly from the Server Explorer window.
