We've used the no-longer-supported RichTextBox control as part of our (ASP.NET-based) CMS for a long time, and we'd like to replace it with something lighter-weight and with better cross-browser support. We were originally looking at various ASP.NET components, but I'm wondering if we'd be better off just using an open-source, all-Javasc...

Has anyone been able to implement the JQuery grid plugin, jqGrid? I'm trying to implement the JSON paging, and I feel like I'm getting close, but that I am also being swamped by inconsequential details. If anyone could post some sample code, I would greatly appreciate it. ...

I am researching this for a client and for an article, and i think my google-fu is not strong tonight. Any suggestions? EDIT: I actually ha...
I have an asp.net text form that contains numerous decimal fields that are optional. I want to selectively update the database but not inserting a "0" for fields that do not have data (maintaining the null status). Typically, I would create multiple functions, each with a different signature to handle this. However, I am inserting the ...
I have a text string value that I'd like to persist from one web page to another without using query strings or the session/view states. I've been trying to get the ASP HiddenField control to pass information from one web form to a different form.

We are in the process of nutting out the design guidelines we would like to use in our development team and got into a discussion today around how ASP.NET controls should be named. I am talking about our good friends Label, TextBox, Button etc. We came up with the following three possibilities that we voted on: (Example is a TextBox to ...

If I choose b) the web.config is updated badly and nothing ...
Often when making changes to a VS2008 ASP.net project we get a message like: BC30560: 'mymodule_ascx' is ambiguous in the namespace 'ASP'. This goes away after a recompile or sometimes just waiting 10 seconds and refreshing the page. Any way to get rid of it? ...
I'm trying to localize my aspx pages. I'm done with content localization using L10n features provided by .net f/w, like resource files. But I'm finding it difficult to set local data in page titles. Most of the browsers, including IE and FF, shows content on window title with some boxes (FF will show properly localized text in tab, IE ...
There is a long running habit here where I work that the connection string lives in the web.config, a Sql Connection object is instantiated in a using block with that connection string and passed to the DataObjects constructor (via a CreateInstance Method as the constructor is private). Something like this: using(SqlConnection conn = ne...

I know the Html.Button has been moved to the Microsoft.Web.Mvc namespace, but I really miss the generic versions that used to exist in the early Previews. All I want the Html.Button to do is to hit an action in my controller, but I'd rather not write the JavaScript in the onClickMethod argument. In my previous project I just snagged t...

I need to make a change to an ASP.NET web service written a couple years ago on 2.0. I call this web service from an old 1.1 web site. I need to make some changes to the web service, so am thinking, should I rewrite this into a WCF service and if so, will I still be able to use it from my 1.1 web site? ...
Is there a best practice when it comes to setting client side "onclick" events when using ASP.Net controls? Simply adding the onclick attribute results in a Visual Studio warning that onclick is not a valid attribute of that control. Adding it during the Page_Load event through codebehind works, but is less clear than I'd like. Are th...
