Couldn't simple recursion handle this?

public void SomeMethod(Control parent)
{
foreach (var control in parent.Controls)
{
// do something
if (control.Controls.Count > 0)
SomeMethod(control);
}
}

@stimpy77,

I was just kidding about notepad. Good article, and I agree with most points aside from the designer mode one. I think it is evil and encourages drag and drop markup.

The site is still down. Maybe if you used notepad like a real man, your website wouldn't crash unexpectedly.

Just goes to show why having a rigid contract can be beneficial. That's a lot of overhead.

heck, I never thought of that...

This is awesome. It will truly help any contractors that have been thrown into a situation where they need to understand legacy code quickly, and has many other uses, as well.

Too bad it FAILS the Acid 2 test.

"Unfortunately, there is no wizard to generate a simple service like this in VS 2008. The best way to use this approach is to generate an Ajax-enabled WCF Service using the wizard, then delete all of the configuration goo it adds to web.config and manually add the Factory="…" attribute to your .svc file. You'll still be using the code-behind model, but you probably should be anyway since it keeps all your code in a single place in the site."

Not sure I follow you... it seems as though the code-behind model is enforced...

Not to be confused with the other article entitled with the same name, this is an update to that article where Fritz shows that JSON-enabling WCF can be done with one line in the config.

No. :D

Awesome tip.

Welcome Spanish friends. :D

Seems like micro-optimization to me. I still prefer string.Concat or StringBuilder over straight concatenation.

Why not just build the objects with datareaders and pass them back instead of mapping them to a datatable. Seems like extra work to me.

Is this up for debate? Properties 100% of the time.

Try calling Eval("") on a class with public fields instead of properties.
