Special thanks go out to Wilco Bauwer who has posted a lot of his insight into Atlas in the ASP.NET forums.

Show Notes:

• Emails.
  • Our hero Phil Winstanley supports the show
    And thanks go out to Plip for these pictures:
    
  • Scott Fletcher says that “Wally is the hottest thing in Podcasting!”
  • Chris Frazier agrees with Scott.
• Atlas.
  • What are some of the Atlas pieces-n-parts.  Wally bloggerizes from Nikhil Kothari’s weblog. (Note: Wally made up the word bloggerize.  It means to steal from someone else's blog without their permission.  You learn something new on a podcast every day.........).
  • Example (Note: There is an sState, which refers to an HTML tag, and there is a property referred to as State.  These are separate and I appologize for any confusion):

Client Side Code:
        function LoadTest(){

            Samples.AspNet.WebServiceTest.ReturnDataSet(ReturnDataTableCallBack);

        }

        function ReturnDataTableCallBack(result)

        {

            var i = 0;

            var ddl = document.getElementById("sState");

            var optionItem;

            iLength = document.getElementById("sState").options.length;

            document.getElementById("sState").visible = true;

            //document.getElementById("txtAreaResult").value = result.get_data();

            for(i=0; i<iLength; i++)

            {

                document.getElementById("sState").options[0] = null;

            }

            alert("Length: " + result.get_length() );

            for(i=0; i<result.get_length(); i++)

            {

                var optAdd = new Option(result.getItem(i).getProperty("State"),result.getItem(i).getProperty("tblStateId"));

                for(m in result.getItem(i)){

                    //alert(m);

                }

                document.getElementById("sState").options.add(optAdd);

            }

            debug.dump(result, "DataTable Result", true);

        }
Server Side Code:
        [WebMethod]

        public System.Data.DataTable ReturnDataSet()

        {

            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            DataRow dr;

            dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("tblStateId", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")));

            dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("State", System.Type.GetType("System.String")));

            dr = dt.NewRow();

            dr["tblStateId"] = 1;

            dr["State"] = "Tennessee";

            dt.Rows.Add(dr);

            dr = dt.NewRow();

            dr["tblStateId"] = 2;

            dr["State"] = "Alabama";

            dt.Rows.Add(dr);

            return (dt);

        }
