Resize image on the fly with ASP.NET MVC(www.leniel.net)

submitted by leniel(504) 1 month ago

I built a piece of code sometime ago to display image thumbnails in a listing page. I thought it's about time to optimize it. I refactored it and started using the WebImage class that comes in System.Web.Helpers namespace. With this class in place you can resize, crop, rotate, etc any image. There's no need to save the thumbnail in the disk, that is, a new image can be generated on the fly/dynamically and sent to the user’s browser. read more...

In a SQL Server database I have a table called users which has a column named signature. This columns is of type Image. My production SQL Server is located in a shared hosting environment.

submitted by leniel(504) 10 months, 1 day ago

This post is a visual guide about one of the most powerful features of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2008: Import/Export database data. These tasks are useful for example when you need to debug an application with real world/production data to find possible bugs in your code. You can import the production database data to your local development database and find what’s causing problems. These tasks can be used to create a protection layer because you won’t be working “directly” with production data. read more...

Let’s say you want to point to a different connection string when you deploy your ASP.NET Web Project to your hosting provider. Until recently you’d have to modify your Web.config file manually. This is an easy procedure but you might end screwing up the file in some way. Visual Studio 2010 comes with a great new feature called Web.config Transformation that allows you to perform transformations in whatever section of your Web.config file. read more...

Building a jQuery Plug-in to make an HTML Table scrollable(www.west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 11 months, 28 days ago

Table displays in limited space require some rendering alternatives. While paging is a common way to address fixed size displays, it's not an end-all solution. Sometimes it's necessary to display larger amounts of data in a small fixed space on an HTML page. Scrollable list are fairly easy to do with most HTML structures, but HTML tables are notoriously difficult to manage when it comes to scrolling. In this post I describe a jQuery plug-in that attempts to make any table scrollable by decomposing and reassembling the table into two distinct areas. read more...
