Disable an asp.net LinkButton (or HyperLink) without graying it out

I have a web form with a couple of linkbuttons. The linkbuttons serve as tab selectors, clicking one will activate an associated panel. When a panel is selected I don't want the user to select it again, clicking the linkbutton would be an unnecessary roundtrip. I can set the button's enabled property...

ISO weeknumbers of a date, a C# implementation

The DateTime class in the .NET framework is very rich in methods for manipulating and computing dates. In my former language Delphi working with dates was no fun. All had to be done by manipulating strings but given the fact that nobody can agree on what comes first, day or month, all code was tricky...

The availability of Vista beta's

In yesterday's post I raised the impression that I downloaded Vista beta 2 and its product key from MSDN. I have to correct that, my beta 2 was obtained on the Vista beta site (no link, it's not public :(). This site uses the same download tool as MSDN but is not as chaotic as the new MSDN site (I'm...

Installing Vista build 5219 (on a tablet PC)

Recently I installed Vista beta 1 on my tablet. Not in Virtual PC but as dual boot. You need a dedicated partition for that, but it is the only way Vista can reach your machine's hardware functionality like DX or the digitizer tablet. The first install was nice but not really a tablet, after adding the...

Missed the PDC linq ? Don't read blogs.. watch this

No I didn't visit the PDC and yes, just like Ben am drowning in the Linq is here blogposts. Instead of reading all that I would recommend this Channel 9 video. In 30 minutes time Anders himself talks from his office about what and why Linq is. Very clear and a delight to watch. Not about OR-mappers and...

A touching gesture

I missed my chance to come to the PDC and hear this first hand, but blogs can fill the gap. Microsoft has announced it will license the current Tablet OS, Windows XP 2005 Tablet PC edition , to touch screen PC makers. Fujitsu already announced one for next month. A touch-screen is by long not as sophisticated...

Scripting errors on an aspx page, validatorcontrols and causesvalidation ('undefined' is null or not an object)

The ASP.NET toolbox has some nice validator controls like RequiredFieldValidator and RangeValidato r. These perform a first validation of client input in the browser. On postback the validation is repeated on the server. The client side validation is not supported in every browser and is skipped in some...

A way to get rid of infinite code cycles : Cyclebetter.com

Can't get out of that spiral of cyclic bugs ? Take a break and give you cycle-wheels a spin. It really helps. I already knew many IT people were cyclist. Take Microsoft's Eric Gunnerson . His blog is supposed to be about software, but he cannot always write everything he would like. When he is under...

Beta of the TIP for Vista Tablet PC

Recently I installed the Vista Beta on my Tablet PC . It works, given the occasional blue screen, quite well; but didn't feel like a real tablet PC yet. The pen worked but the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) and the handwriting recognizers were still missing. There is good news: a beta of the TIP is now available...
