Client Side ASP.NET ListView Sorting via jQuery TableSorter Plugin Dem

beckelman.net — I was recently asked to provide sorting on a ListView that I knew needed it, but had left off originally because I was having trouble with the way I normally handle sorting ListViews with this particular page. This led me to searching for another way. I think what I came up with may replace the way I have been handling user requested sorting (all server side) up until now. What I found was the jQuery TableSorter plugin plus a few extras. The plugin, like just about all jQuery plugins is really easy to use. You just point it at your table and it does the rest (make sure your table has thead and tbody tags though). Of course there are many options that you can set for your particular situation. Check out the demo. read more...

Optimize WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd

published 4 months, 24 days ago, submitted by crpietschmann 4 months, 25 days ago

blog.madskristensen.dk — Some weeks ago I wrote how to minify and compress the WebResource.axd handler. In the comments of that post someone asked how to do the same with ScriptResource.axd. I thought about it and realized it could be done much smarter.If you take a look at the HTML source at the CodePlex Issue Tracker page, you’ll see it references 13 WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd. That’s 13 different web requests on each page load. The ScriptResource.axd is using HTTP compression but WebResource.axd does not. None of them minifies the scripts.Therefore it would be cool to create a plug ‘n play HttpModule that combines all resource.axd scripts into one single web request and then minify and compress them. It would result in smaller HTML, fewer web requests and optimized JavaScript code. If you’re a YSlow nazi like me, this is a must-have. read more...
