An ASP.NET Modal Panel Control

One UI element that has always been tricky to create in ASP.NET applications is the Modal Window. Often, applications will present an entire page for simple property editing, in situations where a modal window is a more elegant, and straight-forward UI element. This is probably due mainly to the fact...

An ASP.NET Custom Control for Dynamically Filtering Data - DataSetFilter

A common need for web-based reporting is to create a UI to allow the user to apply filter criteria to a set of data. Usually, this involves coding a fairly complicated UI, and associated code to apply the filtering logic to a DataView. This UI usually is fairly static, possibly containing a drop down...

A Better ASP.NET State Pattern

Creating a better way to manage ASP.NET state has been talked about quite a bit. I’ve posted about it a few times, as have others. A couple of weeks ago Raymond brought the topic up again , and it got me thinking that the way I've been doing it could probably be improved upon. Today I needed to look...

StateClassBase Redux

I've been having a good discussion on how best to encapsulate your ASP.NET page state over on Raymond's blog . Raymond has advocated adding a State object to your PageBase class that has slots for each important session object that you're going to use (correct me if I'm wrong Raymond).. The nice thing...

End User Sessions When the Browser Closes With Remote Scripting

I literally stumbled across this solution while creating the WSMQ Instant Messenger demo that I posed about last week. My problem was that I needed a way to log users out of the chat application when they closed their browser window. Since I was storing my list of users in the application, they'd...

Web-Based Instant Messenger with ASP.NET, Remote Scripting and WSMQ

A few weeks ago, an article appeared on O'Rielly that showed an example chat application that utilized Amazon's Simple Queue service to store chat messages. IMO, using a middle-ware Queuing system over a Web Service is a great idea (which was the motivation for me creating www.wsmq.com ), and...

Setting Up Vault 3.0 on WebHost4Life

A couple of weeks ago, I promised to create a step-by-step guide to setting up Vault on a WebHost4Life (WH4L) . I've been stalling on this basically because for me to do an accurate, detailed step-by-step guide, it will involve setting it up again, so that I can record each and every step. Short of doing...

Easily Raise Events From ASP.NET ASCX User Controls

Say what you will about User Controls (ASCX controls) versus WebControls (classes inheriting from System.Web.UI.WebControl) but the simple fact is that often a User Control is the easiest and best way to design a piece of re-usable functionality in ASP.NET. An essential component to re-use is encapsulation...

Map a Network Drive From Code for Cross-Domain File Copy

The other day, I had to copy a file from a Windows Service running on our Web server which is outside of our firewall, and not a trusted member of our domain , to a folder on a share inside of the firewall . Should be easy, right? Well, it turns out it that it's a bit more complicated than I first thought...

IIS Logfiles -> Typed DataSet Utility

I think the post title is clear enough. Once you have a Typed DataSet, you can do anything, in my opinion. Recently, we were having a problem analyzing our IIS logs with WebTrends. The webmaster here asked me if I could write something in .NET that would let us quickly analyze our logs. We have this...

A Simple InfoPath Web Viewer Control

Here at the Port , we recently needed to allow different people in the company to quickly publish forms to our public web site. When I was tasked with making this happen, my first thought was to create a simple web-based tool for form creation. Now, I've done this before, and creating a web-based form...

Run a .BAT file from ASP.NET

Okay, running .BAT files from ASP.NET using the System.Diagnostics.Process object and static methods this should be easy, right? Well, this might work for you, but it certainly won't work on my machines. And after doing lots of reasearh on the issue, it seems that other people are also having problems...

Transform an ADO.NET DataSet to ADO Recordset XML, Excel XML and more!

A couple of weeks ago, I complained about the KB code here KB316337. What this code is supposed to do is transform a DataSet into ADO Recordset XML format. I ended up porting the VB code to C# and also rewriting some of the code along the way... It's too much code to show it all here so I've created...

Auto Event Wire-Up for Controls

Ever noticed that when you double-click on an ASP.NET UserControl, the code-behind loads, with the cursor in the Page_Load event? Well, this as far as I can tell, is because the UserControl class contains a DefaultEvent attribute, specifying “OnLoad“ as the event. Thus, the VS IDE automatically...
