Introducing Regulazy: Point & Click Regular Expressions(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 10 months ago

Roy Osherove has released a new Regular Expression (alpha) tool: "Regulazy is an attempt to build a small "Expert System" for creating .NET Regular Expressions. It lets the user create an expression based on a real life example of text they would like to parse. As the user interacts with Regulazy using the mouse, Regulazy offers the user possible expressions that would fit the currently selected text. As the user selects "rules" to apply on various parts of the text, a regular expression is built automatically in the lower application pane. The end result is a visual expression builder, that for most simple parsing operations, requires the user only to know what they would like to parse, and what the parsing rules should be - Regex Syntax is *not* needed." read more...

Tip/Trick: Using Server Side Comments with ASP.NET 2.0(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by MarthaBass(490) 5 years, 10 months ago

URL parsing and manipulation in .NET(damieng.com)

submitted by DamienG(1405) 5 years, 10 months ago

While .NET has a couple of URI classes they're pretty useless. They don't decode the various parts and you can't manipulate them either. Many projects I've seen (Subtext included) just try and manipulate them via strings which varying degrees of success. Here's a pure C# .NET URL decoder that uses a regex I developed for performance based on a VBScript class I developed a while back. read more...

Tip/Trick: Custom formatting HTML in Visual Web Developer and VS.NET(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by MarthaBass(490) 5 years, 10 months ago

Problem : You receive an HTML or ASP.NET page from another developer you work with whose html source formatting standards are different from your own (bad use of casing, inconsistent indenting, etc). You want to quickly clean-up and format the HTML “the right way” – where “the right way” is naturally defined as own your personal preference (and naturally every developer thinks their preference is "right" <g>). Solution : Visual Web Developer and Visual Studio 2005 include a rich HTML source formatting rules engine that enables you to configure exactly how you want HTML markup to look. read more...

Customizing the CreateUserWizard Control(aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 10 months ago

"In this article we will be stepping through the process of customizing the CreateUserWizard into a multi-step process. Some believe breaking up a large data entry form into a multi-step process is less off-putting to the user and encourages them to see the process to its end. The process steps we will be creating will include: * A step which will gather billing address information, * Another for shipping information, and finally, * One to collect user information " read more...

Strongly-Typed Reflection(ayende.com)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 10 months ago

Ayende Rahien presents a solution for strongly-typed reflection. - "I refactor a lot, and I just hate it when everything compiles okay, and then things breaks on runtime. I think that static reflection will enable writing amazing code. The functionality is already built into the CLR (check the ldtoken/ldftn IL instructions and friends). It didn't make it into the 2.0 release, but I hope that it will be in the next release. In the meantime, the 2.0 Reflection has been optimized, so that is what we have for now. But it's not enough for me. ..." read more...

Cloud Control for ASP.NET(codeproject.com)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 10 months ago

Web sites such as del.icio.us, Technorati and Flickr, which allow tagging of their content, depict the popularity of tags using a tag cloud. The popular items have larger font sizes. This concept can be applied to any list of items where each item has an associated weight. For example, a list of products can be displayed in a cloud weighed by the cost of a product. Using the ASP.NET server control presented in this article, you can display your own domain specific items as a cloud. read more...
