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

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 1 year 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...

Rendering Script References into the Html Header(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 4 months ago

ASP.NET natively supports script embedding only into the body of the HTML document which is limited in many ways if you need more control over how scripts load under program control. In this post I'll show one of my components that allows embedding scripts and script references in the header of the document as well as many useful script embedding features for ASP.NET. read more...

Making Sense of ASP.NET Paths(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 5 months ago

ASP.NET includes a plethora of functions and utilities to retrieve information about the current requests and paths in general. So much so that it's often hard to remember exactly which path property or method you are actually looking for. This update to an old and very popular post from this blog summarizes many of the paths and path related operations that are available in ASP.NET. read more...

Implementing a free standing ASP.NET Pager WebControl(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 5 months ago

Although there's decent Pager support in ASP.NET controls the way paging works is inconsistent and not very generic. After a recent experience of creating a small pager component for MVC I decided having a generic non-data or control dependent Pager WebControl would be useful. In this post I cover a custom Pager control implementation that addresses some of the shortcomings with the stock paging functionality for me. read more...

No JavaScript IntelliSense in VS 2010 Beta 2? Reset your Settings(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 7 months ago

When I installed Visual Studio 2010 a couple of days ago I was really disappointed to see that Intellisense failed to work completely in the new install. No workey in .js files, or ASPX pages inside of script blocks. After some back and forth with folks on the ASPInsiders list and the product teams it looks like there is an issue somewhere with the default settings that get set when Visual Studio... read more...

Lookbehind in Regex searches(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 7 months ago

Regex's more esoteric features are easy to miss as they make sense to me only in a context that applies to my work. I've certainly read about lookahead and lookbehind before but until I needed it today and was pointed to look at this functionality in the Regex engine it just didn't sink in. Lookbehind allows matching or not matching of a string before the the string you are interested in. It effectively allows you to look for values that don't have x before another match which is actually quite common. read more...

Fun with Func<T,TResult> Delegates, Events and Async Operations(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 7 months ago

Delegates are powerful for event handling, highly useful in LINQ and a core requirement for async operations. Func<T> makes using delegate based logic a lot easier by providing a generic implemenation that in many cases allows you to skip creation of a separate delegate and instead just point at the Func<T> definition which can be a big timesaver and a nice way to remove delegate defintions from your namespaces. read more...
