Here's the scenario: You have an ASP.Net application supported by a Microsoft SQL Server database, and for this example there won't be any caching. For each page in your web application, what's more efficient: Attempting to condense everything you need into one (or a few) stored procedure calls that return multiple tables with all of ...
I'm using jQuery to handle all my ajax needs for an ASP.NET site coded in VB. When I use the built in $.ajax function to POST to a code-behind function and there is an exception, it simply exits the function, and shows an error on the client side.

The intention is to use one codebase for different clients. I have an app_themes folder, several themes inside, for different clients, and different CSS files for eac...
I need a dropdown list on my page that will allow a user to select their state. Since this is probably a control that will be used elsewhere, I thought it would be a good idea to create an MVC View User Control that could be reused. I was thinking the control would look something like this: <select name="" id=""> <option value="AL"...

How can I tell if a method is running in the context of an AJAX postback (i.e as the result of a UpdatePanel (asynchronous) postback)? According to egoldin Page.IsAsync is a very common confusion that has absolutely nothing to do with AJAX. The correct approach is to use ScriptManager.GetCurrent ( Page ).IsInAsyncPostBack. ...
This is probably a no brainer but... I've just opened a solution in VS2008 and for some reason the compiler doesn't recognised previously compiled errors. I hit build and I get 100s of errors : Name 'IIf' is not declared. Name 'IsNumeric' is not declared. Name HttpUtility is not declared etc.. Think this must be something to do w...
Using asp.net, I need to generate a snapshot of an youtube video. I have access to the code that youtube generates for integrating their vids into other sites. Basically what I want to do is what HTML Snapshot does, take a picture of some html, but I`m only interested in the video. How can I approach this in asp.net, (buying HTML Snaps...

Just looking for the relevant documentation. An example is not necessary, but would be appreciated. We have a situation where we are having to create 100s of virtual directories manually, and it seems like automating this would be a good way to make the process more efficient for now. Perhaps next year we can rework the server env...
