Mastering jQuery now available at TekPub

Encosia — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:52:42 GMT

If you haven’t been following the progress of Rob Conery and James Avery’s new venture, TekPub, you’ve been missing out on some great instructional videos. I especially like that they trend slightly Alt.NET, giving you more balanced information than is sometimes available from “official” .NET screencasts. For the past few weeks, I’ve been working with James [...] ### Originally posted at Encosia . If you're reading this elsewhere, come on over and see the original.

Emulate ASP.NET validation groups with jQuery validation

Encosia — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:51:37 GMT

In my most recent post, I demonstrated a workaround to allow using the jQuery validation plugin with WebForms pages. The basic idea was to trigger validation only on submissions that occurred within a single logical form, instead of catching submissions anywhere on WebForms’ all-encompassing physical form. This approach worked fine for a single logical form, but [...] ### Originally posted at Encosia . If you're reading this elsewhere, come on over and see the original.

ASP.NET 4.0 ScriptManager Improvements

ASP.NET Weblogs — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:51:00 GMT

.NET Framework 4 Beta 2 has been out for a little while now. There are some subtle improvements to the ScriptManager control in ASP.NET 4.0 that few have picked up on yet. Allow me to introduce you to them! First, let me say that this is strictly about features in the server-side ASP.NET ScriptManager control, not the Ajax library in general. Also – if you do not use the ASP.NET Ajax library but you are a WebForms developer, I assume you, this article is still for you! EnableCdn? Yes please.

Enabling the ASP.NET Ajax script loader for your own scripts

ASP.NET Weblogs — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMT

In previous posts, I’ve shown different ways to build a client-side class browser, using the ASP.NET Ajax Libary and jQuery. In this post, I’ll focus on a few lines of code from the latest version of that sample. Those few lines of code enable my custom script to benefit from the script loader’s features such as lazy and parallel loading and dependency management. An important feature of the script loader is the separation of the script meta-data from the script code itself. The meta-data can include the name of the script, its dependencies, instructions on how to figure out if it’s already loaded, its debug and release URL patterns and a declaration of the lazy components and plug-ins it introduces. The script loader can also handle composite...(read more)

Object Oriented JavaScript using Prototype Object

ASP.NET Weblogs — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:39:08 GMT

Object Oriented JavaScript using Prototype Object This document describes the benefit of using Object Oriented Approach in JavaScript Codes and implements Calendar Management component having a few functions like Add/Edit/Delete Events on selected date. As we all know Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a major part and practice for reusability. Most of the times even if we are following standard ways to code on server-side, we just forget or omit about client side structure of application. As a result it becomes hectic to manage later, when application is modified to release a newer version of the same. As per my personal experience on the same, I found prototyping and object oriented JavaScript a perfect solution. There...(read more)

Serialize and Deserialize JSON

ASP.NET Weblogs — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:28:00 GMT

On one of the projects I am working on I needed a way to work get the JSON string generated from some sort of serialization process. If you are working Ajax or MVC controller actions, this work is done for you automatically, but I wanted the string all by itself. After some searching I ran across this article How to: Serialize and Deserialize JSON Data . The article is great, and gave me everything I needed to know, but I thought I would make it a little cleaner and wrap it all up in a class. Below is the a generic class that will serialize and deserialize JSON: using System.IO; using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json; public class JsonSerializer { public JsonSerializer() { } public string Serialize(T instance) { using (MemoryStream stream Read...(read more)

JavaScript class browser: once again with jQuery

ASP.NET Weblogs — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:43:26 GMT

I’ve already posted twice about that little class browser application. The first iteration was mostly declarative and can be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/09/14/building-a-class-browser-with-microsoft-ajax-4-0-preview-5.aspx The second one was entirely imperative and can be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/10/15/entirely-unobtrusive-and-imperative-templates-with-microsoft-ajax-4-preview-6.aspx This new version builds on top of the code for the imperative version and adds the jQuery dependency in an attempt to make the code leaner and simpler. I invite you to refer to the imperative code (included in the archive for this post ) and compare it with the jQuery version, which shows a couple of ways...(read more)

How to render the same template on the server and client with minimal redundancy

ASP.NET Weblogs — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:50:53 GMT

Last week, I wrote a post about how the new Microsoft Ajax Library Preview 6 made it a lot easier to write unobtrusive and imperative data-driven applications . Because for the previous preview, I had written a cool little class browser using a declarative style, I thought it would be nice to rewrite this in a completely imperative way. The mistake I made though was to call it unobtrusive. Never mind that ‘unobtrusive’ is a perfectly well-defined word that actually existed way before JavaScript. ‘Unobtrusive JavaScript’ has a very specific meaning that people feel strongly about. To be worthy of that label, an application must basically conform to (at least) those two requirements: Markup and behavior are strictly separated. That means no DOM...(read more)
