Binding a select in a client template
I recently got a question on
one of my client template posts
asking me how to bind a select tag’s value to data in
client templates. I was surprised not to find anything on the web
addressing the problem, so I thought I’d write a short
post about it.

Enabling the ASP.NET Ajax script loader for your own scripts
In previous posts, I’ve shown different ways to build a
client-side class browser, using the ASP.NET Ajax Libary
and jQuery.

JavaScript class browser: once again with jQuery
I’ve already posted twice about that little class
browser application. The first iteration was mostly
declarative and can be found here:

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

Entirely unobtrusive and imperative templates with Microsoft Ajax Library Preview 6
Today is the release of the sixth preview of Microsoft
Ajax Library. Don’t get fooled by the somewhat silly and
long name: this is a major release in many ways. The
scripts have been majorly refactored since preview 5.
Check out the other posts out there (links at the bottom
of this post) to see just some of the many new features
that are in there. Some of my favorite are all the small
improvements that have been made to make imperative
instantiation of components and templated contents
easier than ever. Many of you have told us that you
preferred to do things imperatively and this release
makes it a lot better.

Building a class browser with Microsoft Ajax 4.0 Preview 5
The Microsoft Ajax Library 4.0 Preview 5 is the first
release of Microsoft Ajax that I didn’t participate in:
I left the team a few months ago. But that doesn’t mean
I don’t love what’s in there, and I really do. And by
the way I’ve also seen what’s in Preview 6 too and man
that will seriously rock.

Creating jQuery plug-ins from MicrosoftAjax components
We had an interesting discussion recently on the
ASP Insiders
mailing list and ended up talking about what cool stuff
we could build on top of jQuery. Many interesting things
were mentioned and it was a very useful discussion but
one suggestion in particular struck my curiosity as it
was something I had investigated before and that could
be improved on with very little code.
