Extending the GridView to Work With the New DataPager Control

Recently I read an article by Scott Mitchell about the new ListView and DataPager controls that are included in the .NET Framework version 3.5. This got me curious as to how to adapt other well known databound controls like the GridView so that they can work together with the

Modal UpdateProgress for UpdatePanel - Revisited

Back in September 2007, I posted an article which described a way to “disable” an UpdatePanel (or more specifically an entire page) by using a modal UpdateProgress control. This solution would allow developers to stop users from clicking on other items on the page while the UpdatePanel is processing. The

Ping Services for BlogEngine.NET

Updated Blog - Migration from Subtext to BlogEngine.NET

What better thing to do on a Tuesday night (well ok, Wednesday morning) when you can’t sleep than update your blogging engine. Subtext is a great blogging engine, however; we outgrew some of its features. In its place, we decided to go with BlogEngine.NET. The transition was pretty

ASP.NET AJAX / UpdatePanel “Not Working” – Common Problems

“ASP.NET AJAX / UpdatePanel aren’t working…” – this is probably the number one complaint/question found on the ASP.NET AJAX Forums. I decided it would probably be a good idea to discuss some of the common issues I’ve seen: 1. xhtmlConformance – This is a common gotcha as described

HTML Parsing - HTML Agility Pack

I’ve seen some posts of users asking about parsing HTML in .NET. Lots of people use RegEx which is OK, but wouldn’t it be nice to use XPath. Problem with this is that most sites have mangled HTML not even close to XHTML which is needed to utilize

Theme Error when Themes are disabled?

I received an interesting error today when I tried to create a WebForm which didn’t have any content on it. Using themed css files requires a header control on the page. (e.g. <head runat=”server” />). Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current
