An ASP.NET Color Picker Control based on YUI Color picker

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:51:25 GMT

YuiColorPicker is an ASP.NET control that can be used in various ways within a page or control. As the name suggests, it uses the handy YUI Color picker control. For those of you who are not familiar with YUI, it is a set of Javascript utilities and controls for building richly interactive web applications. Its files are provided via a CDN, which makes it faster and eases the load on your server. The picker control offers features such as animation, inline or modal popup behavior, dynamic loading of the YUI Library and client/server events. I originally wrote this control for a friend that was impressed with the color picker control, but did not want to get messy with all the plumbing involved with javascript-based (non-server) control.

Creating a transparent Panel in .NET

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:01:02 GMT

Today I wanted to create a transparent Panel-Control in .NET in order to superimpose it on the WebBrowser Control in order to record click events. The goal was to code a simple macro recorder for websites. Unfortunatelly the .NET framework does not allow (in an easy way) to make a control fully transparent. So it was back to the good ol' winuser.h and the extended window styles. Namely 0x00000020L or as it is better known WS_EX_TRANSPARENT.

Check In the freaking code!!!??!!

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:46:02 GMT

I was pondering recently the various methods a team could go about assuring good check ins into source control. I would assume that much of a check in, build, and source repository's tasks can be automated. Continuous build integration is a good part of assuring check ins aren't breaking things they should not be.
