Image Upload, Crop and Resize with ASP.NET MVC jQuery Uploadify and jCrop
I needed a slick way for my customers to upload, crop and resize photos within my Church Management Software.

ASP.NET MVC Locale User Control (State/Province, Country)
A while back I wrote a locale control for ASP.NET that gave you a nice and easy way to plug in a cascading state/province – country control into your ASP.NET websites. Now that I have moved on to using ASP.NET MVC for my new projects I needed the same control, only this time in MVC.
