Creating a Required Input Server Control

blog.ourcurrentfuture.com — One of the most common tasks we perform as ASP.NET developers is adding validated fields to a form. Typically, this involves adding: * a label to tell the user what information is expected * a TextBox, DropDrown, CheckBox or other element to collect the data * a Validator to check whether the data entered is good or not Rather than always adding these three elements, we can combine them into a single reusable server control. The less elements we need to add to a page, the less time it takes to do so. read more...

Working with .NET 1.1 in Visual Studio 2008 and Team Server

devlicio.us — I was trying to write that post for so long that I've started worry that there will be new version of the Visual Studio before I will even start. Finally, I found some time and here it is. What I'm going to write about here is how to use the latest IDE to work with a .NET 1.1 applications.

ASP.NET Futures: Generating Dynamic Images w/ HttpHandlers Gets Easier

published 3 months, 11 days ago, submitted by crpietschmann 3 months, 13 days ago

hanselman.com — I've done a lot of HttpHandlers that generate images. It's usually pretty tedious. When I was working banking, I wrote an example HttpHandler that would take two Check Images (back and front) and composite them into a single image on the server side, then serving up the composite. Usually you're messing around in with MemoryStreams and Images, and then you serialize the result out to the Response.OutputStream, making sure the MIME Types are set appropriately. If you're really clever, you'll remember to do some client-side and appropriate caching, but I rarely see that in the wild. read more...
