.NET 3.5 and VS SP beta1 goodies
Mon, May 12 2008 20:58
You can get them from here (VS) and here (.NET). I'm reading what's new on Brad Abrams post and I'm really digging the new features:) For instance, having the format option working with JS code is simply cool! Another cool thing: the ScriptManager is able to combine scripts so there's really no need for using the ToolkitScriptManager for that... Read More...

The dataItems dictionary
Mon, Mar 24 2008 20:50
Today I noticed that there are still many guys that don't know about the dataItems property which is exposed by the Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager. So, I decided to write a small sample that will show you how to use it when you're using partial updates and need to send some info back to the client during a partial postback. So, here's a really simple... Read More...

ASP.NET AJAX: generating the proxy's JS code on the fly
Mon, Jan 7 2008 23:45
Before talking about the ProxyGenerator class, I'll have to add one more observations on the previous posts on the new role service: for the code I've shown to work you do need to have an authenticated user. The easiest way to see the previous code working is just to create a new login page which uses the FormsAuthentication class to authenticate the... Read More...

The latest version of the ASP.NET AJAX framework added a new client service which will let you get info about the roles of the current user: I'm talking about the Sys.Services._RoleService. The class exposes two important methods which you might end up using if you need to get info about the roles of the current user: get_roles: returns an array with the... Read More...

Generally, the error that has been reported is: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0... One of the suggestions that I have seen is to add a redirect on...

May future bits: the History control

The May bits have a new control which you can use to integrate the Back and Forward buttons in your AJAX pages. Using the control is really simple: you just need to save current state during a partial postback and then handle the Navigate event which is fired by the History control in response to a click on the back or forward button. Here's a demo page:... Read More...

One of the things that was removed from the final versions of ASP.NET AJAX was WCF web service support. Does anyone know if we'll be having it on orcas? I'm asking because I've just started looking at Silverlight and there really isn't any support for it there (as i was expecting)... Read More...

ASP.NET AJAX: creating a trigger on a client control
Sun, Apr 22 2007 14:25
A few months ago, I've written a post on a forum which shows how to trigger a conditional postback from an HTML client control. Today I was asked about it again. It's not really complicated after you understand that triggers are maintained in a javascript array by the client PageRequestManager object. When there's a postback, the PageRequestManager checks that... Read More...

Quick tip: using Fiddler to catch the traffic in IE7
Wed, Jan 31 2007 15:09
Some time ago, Rama gave us (users of the AJAX forums) a good tip: Using http://localhost . :12 ... or http://localhost . / .... forces IE to use Fiddler to make the request! The problem is that IE7 is smart (in fact, maybe I should say that in this case, it's behavior is really annoying) and even if you configure it to go through a proxy, it will always make...
