Handling huge datasets on web could be as easy and responsive as handling them on desktop
Handling large amounts of data is always challenging. Even more so when working with AJAX since one
has to work on seamlessly updating the local data cache as the user scrolls through the list.
Visual WebGui’s list controls do just that. Visual WebGui unleashes the full power of lists and
combos enabling them to handle enormous datasets using a simple drag & drop WinForms
development paradigm. -
One too many, I have been asked; the answer is, yes VWG's On-Server Web model, is at least as scalable as ASP.NET AJAX
The model gets high attentions from developers who keep questioning this model scalability.
Well, here is the more detailed answer. -

SAP LAB's Asaf Saar: We will show case, our Visual WebGui application, and how we cut almost 90% on development resources at AJAXWORLD
My team and I started with plain asp.net, and then we tried the Microsoft .NET Ajax framework (back when it was called Atlas). We have also tried other open source AJAX frameworks and some commercial solutions. None of them answered our needs.
Then came this Israeli Software Company called Gizmox, they developed an AJAX framework with a totally different concept then what was available out there. Basically, with Visual WebGui, you develop your web applications as if you are developing a Win Form based application. Then you compile your project and magic, you get a web page with an amazing rich look and feel. Of course, since it’s all AJAX there are no refreshes, no postbacks, and it’s very fast. -

Silverlight development tips (part 2) - Creating a vista like window shadow
As part of developing our Silverlight UI layer, I wanted to have our windows display a shadow like in Windows Vista. Searching the internet I found several methods of doing it, and most of them looked too complicated. I wanted to have a simple XAML file that I can easily adjust to different sizes.

As you guys probably know, we (Gizmox) are working on an alternative UI layer for Visual WebGui, that will be based entirely on Silverlight and as the chief architect (and CTO) at Gizmox the hard core work was on my shoulders. When at first I look at Silverlight, I admit that I did not get what the fuss is all about, but just to make things right, I now get it.

Simplicity is my message to you fellow developers, and I am not only preaching, I am actually doing!
AJAX has been breaking new grounds almost every day, with over 200 AJAX frameworks, there are plenty of options to choose from and one might say too many. Most of the AJAX frameworks provide you with browser extension libraries that will help you utilize the browser and interact with the server in a more productive way. What they are trying to do in most cases is to provide larger building blocks to achieve your goals by abstracting the calls to the browser API and to the server. The last is a significant improvement over the plain vanilla browser coding but you are still writing your application in a very poor environment with very poor developer tools and your end result is a JavaScript application vulnerable in terms of security, manageability and your IP protection.
