How to append options to CascadingDropDown after initially populated v(jamesewelch.com)

submitted by jamesewelch(2275) 1 year, 1 month ago

I needed to add additional dropdown options to a DropDownList web control in use by the Ajax Control Toolkit CascadingDropDown ASP.NET AJAX extender. The CascadingDropDown provided a means to get an automatic population of a set of options called by the web service. needed a way to append an “All” option to the drop down list, but I didn’t want to automatically include “All” as valid option in my Web Service. I wanted to append it on a specific form rather than as part of the data feed. read more...

Windows Azure Diagnostics in PHP(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 1 year, 8 months ago

When working with PHP on Windows Azure, chances are you may want to have a look at what’s going on: log files, crash dumps, performance counters, … All this is valuable information when investigating application issues or doing performance tuning. Windows Azure is slightly different in diagnostics from a regular web application. Usually, you log into a machine via remote desktop or SSH and inspect the log files: management tools (remote desktop or SSH) and data (log files) are all on the same machine. This approach also works with 2 machines, maybe even with 3. However on Windows Azure, you may scale beyond that and have a hard time looking into what is happening in your application if you would have to use the above approach. A solution for this? Meet the Diagnostics Monitor. read more...

Hybrid Azure applications using OData(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 1 year, 9 months ago

In the whole Windows Azure story, Microsoft has always been telling you could build hybrid applications: an on-premise application with a service on Azure or a database on SQL Azure. But how to do it in the opposite direction? Easy answer there: use the (careful, long product name coming!) Windows Azure platform AppFabric Service Bus to expose an on-premise WCF service securely to an application hosted on Windows Azure. Now how would you go about exposing your database to Windows Azure? Open a hole in the firewall? Use something like PortBridge to redirect TCP traffic over the service bus? Why not just create an OData service for our database and expose that over AppFabric Service Bus. In this post, I’ll show you how. read more...
