Linkbutton with image and text
I ran across the need to have a linkbutton that contained an image and text. A little background... I was creating a file structure-like list in a repeater control. Each row had to be clickable by the folder name or folder icon; just like in Windows Explorer.

Help Wanted: ASP.NET Experience Not Considered
One way to make sure you're current in your developer skills is to surf the job sites. I'm very happy with my current position but I know I need to keep my skills current and marketable so every once in a while I surf the job boards and see what technologies are in hot demand. If I'm unfamiliar with a skill or technology, I make an effort to get on it.
Usually doing this results in no shockers but I just found a recent exception. One local company is seeking a Principal Software Engineer with strong C# experience in .NET 1.1 and 2.0. Then the ad goes on to state, "Please Note: ASP.NET experience not considered". What?!? How can this be? An ASP.NET developer doesn't need to know .NET code? -
ReorderList with ObjectDataSource
If you ask me, the AJAX Control Toolkit's ReorderList is the most under appreciated control in the Toolkit. Compared to many of the other controls, it gets no love. The Toolkit demo site's sample for this control isn't really all that helpful and third party samples are sparse. And how do you bind it with an ObjectDataSource control? Read on to find out...
The ReorderList had a 'real word' use for me. There was a situation where I inherited a web form with a priority ranked list that was composed of a list of items that each had a textbox control to the left of them. The textbox contained the priority order for the item in the list. If the user wanted to change the order, he or she would change the numbers in the textboxes and then press a Save button which updated the priority order for the list. Obviously, the users were having a difficult time making this work.
In comes the ReorderList, the magical key to this situation. But how does this work; the Toolkit sample site didn't go far enough. I wanted to bind this with an ObjectDataSource control and it just wasn't working. Well I eventually figured it out and the first thing I thought of was I needed to write an article about this. Of course this was over 6 months ago but now that I have this blog I thought that someone may benefit from my pain. -
