  • ASP.NET Controls with RadGrid, RadCombobox with Checkboxes, RadMenus, RadAjaxLoadingPanel, Repeater in a Working Web Application

    In this demonstration of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) BASICS Web Application Reviewers Administration pages, we see the effective use of combining ASP.NET controls with RadControls. This is not a video demonstrating how to use the controls programmatically, this is a video displaying the screens and showing how the controls are used within a working application tutorial made for the client.

    In this example, from our Search screen, we see how we can use a combobox selector with multiple checkboxes to select multiple items utilizing a small amount of screen space.

    Also, our search results grid demonstrates a grid within a grid - we see our search results of reviews, and with each review, we have a child grid containing all of the reviewers assigned to that review.

    From our Reviewer Editor panel, we see a User Search Filter and Search Results Grid on the right, and an Editor panel and list of Reviewers grid on the left.

    In this demo, you will see examples of my ASP.NET Web Application Development and examples of using the Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax:

  • RadComboBox with checkboxes for multiple selections with limited screen space using the option to DataBind a CheckBox template.
  • RadGrid with a MasterTableView, NestedViewTemplate of a Repeater displaying the Reviewers in a separate child grid under each Review
  • RadMenu - The drop down, flyout menu at the top of the pages utilizes the RadMenu. The left sidebar menu also utilizes the RadMenu.
  • RadAjaxLoadingPanel - When updating the page you'll notice the RadAjaxLoadingPanel.

  • SQL Server Express and VS2010 Web Application .MDF file errors

    I installed SQL Server 2008 as well as SQL Server Express 2008 on my new Windows 7 development environment, along with Visual Studio 2010. I could get SQL Server 2008 to work fine, but I could not use Express .MDF databases within sample web application projects without receiving the below error:

  • Programmatic Menus: Optimize Your Menus in Code-behind

    In this article, I want to show how you can setup your menus in code-behind and avoid redundancy. I recently inherited a web application with the menu system setup in the code-in-front. Each menu shared identical values, other than the visibility. Notice that numerous properties are defined more than once, above and below the MenuItems. What's as bad is that this entire block of code was repeated for 6 additional menus.

    "Nannette joined GSA to tackle an application riddled with technical problems which hampered GSA's ability to properly run the internal control program. She demonstrated exceptional analytical abilities, cutting edge knowledge of the industry, and a keen ability to understand the needs of the users and translate those needs into a simple, user-friendly application which went above and beyond the expectations of the customer. Users and administrators of the application have had nothing but praise at the success of the project and the end product. She was able to accomplish this difficult and complex task in half the time of what we anticipated and she accomplished it in a professional, responsive manner. I have no reservations in highly recommending her for future projects."
