Add Label To jQuery Slider Handle
While in process of using the jQuery UI Slider in creating an alpha slider for a rolodex interface I came across some desired UI enhancements. Instead of having a slider that was plain i want to add the current value of the slider to interface. A quick simple line to the slider function gave me my desired appearance.

Display SharePoint Documents On Your Company Internet Site
I was recently working on a small POC project. Basically I had an internal MOSS 2007 server site and an locally hosted public facing website. I wanted to have the ability to add files to various MOSS document libraries and then give outside website visitors the ability to view and download these documents. So, what I did was:

Intellisense For AppSettings/ConnectionStrings
One of the most time consuming things to do when starting a new web project is setting up the sites directory structure, until recently. I finally took the time to create myself a few generic templates for Visual Studio enviroment. This has made my ramp up time on starting a new project close to nil. I have my folder stucture all set. I created a few Classes that I typically create in all my projects, add a small library of default images and now just recently dialed the application in with jQuery wired up. Check out Sara Ford's article on making project templates in VS 2005 (Works the same in VS 2008). http://blogs.msdn.com/saraford/archive/2008/10/16/did-you-know-you-can-create-project-templates-336.aspx

Getting jQuery to work with MasterPages
Maybe someone from the ASP.Net community can enlighten me, I have always had the hardest time getting the script, css, etc working/rendering correctly when used on the masterpage. On the masterpage I always have to use an absolute path on the script or link tag or generate the script/link tag from the code behind on the masterpage in order for it to render/execute properly. Is there a better method. I recently ran accross this using jQuery trying to get the intellisense to work on the pages inheriting the master page.This is what I came up with. Seems like a hack. Any suggestions?

Sending Mail To Your File System (No Need For A Mail Server)
This is a great nuggest I came across the other day. I found this great post (http://blog.donnfelker.com/post/Sending-Email-in-a-Development-Environment-without-an-SMTP-Server.aspx) that shows how to redirect mail to a folder instead of an SMTP. Previous to this I would send it to IIS SMTP service and look into the folders it creates. Big pain! Now I can send email to a file system and view the email quickly. No more waiting for the mail to reach your gmail account.

Remote Access To Run/Debug WebServices
Have you ever had the need to test and run a webservice from a machine other then localhost (127.0.0.1)? I was recently debugging a webservice that was running fine locally and when run from the production server it was behaving unexpectably. I remember reading a blog a while back showing how to remotleyy run a webservice. Remeber you will only want to do this for testing only and then turn it off in production.

Using ASP.Net 3.5's ListView To Display Image Galleries (LightBox and LightView User Controls)
The first time I laid eyes on the lightbox image gallery I fell in love with the UI and presentation. Since then, I have been meaning to get around to jamming the js code written by Lokesh Dhakar into an ASP.Net control so that I can reuse at will. Although my schedule doesn't permit me building a full blown server control, I did have time to hack together a working user control. In fact the day after I created the LightBox version I found LightView, a variation on LightBox, and quickly morphed and created a version for it. I don't think that there is anything extremely complicated with what I have implamented, so I will spare you the long drawn out explanation. But, If I get enough questions or requests I may throw together something. If you have VS 2008, you should be able to unzip and run these websites as is. You might need to modify the solutions VirtualPath to run from "/" if you are running the site through the debugger (Scott can tell you how to do this: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/19/tip-trick-how-to-run-a-root-site-with-the-local-web-server-using-vs-2005-sp1.aspx. It says VS 2005 but it is set the same in 2008).
