CAPTCHA Image

CAPTCHA stands for "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart." What it means is, a program that can tell humans from machines using some type of generated test. A test most people can easily pass but a computer program cannot.

You've probably encountered such tests when signing up for an online email or forum account. The form might include an image of distorted text, like that seen above, which you are required to type into a text field.

ListView Header Sort Direction Indicators

The ASP.NET version 3.5 ListView provides developers with a much needed breath of fresh air with respect to simplifying HTML complexity when a data bound grid control is needed. The ListView enables developers to have full control over generated HTML, yet have simplified data binding, custom paging, and column sorting features.



While column sorting is provided with ListView, a clear indication as to which column has been most recently sorted is not provided. There are many techniques on the Internet for providing DataGrid and GridView column sort indicators. The purpose of this posting is to provide a custom control for providing a ListView column sort indicator.

Please Wait Button ASP.NET Server Control

It is often useful upon a form submission in a web application to display a "please wait" message, or animated .gif image, particularly if the submission process lasts a few seconds or more. I recently developed a survey submission application in which internal users upload excel spreadsheets through a web page. The application inserts the uploaded data from the spreadsheets into a database.

The upload/insert process may only take a few seconds, but even a few seconds on the web is a noticeable wait. When testing, some users clicked the upload button repeatedly; it was useful to provide a visual clue that the upload was underway. For that matter, it was useful to hide the upload button altogether, preventing multiple clicks. The control presented here, a subclass of the Button control, demonstrates how client-side JavaScript code encapsulated in an ASP.NET server control can provide such functionality conveniently.

Dragging and dropping with ASP.NET 2.0 and Atlas

This tutorial is intended to help readers understand how certain aspects of Microsoft's new AJAX Extensions technology works. AJAX Extensions is intended to simplify the development of AJAX-style functionality. As with all technologies, however, to use a tool well, it is important to understand the underlying technology that Atlas abstracts. One of the key ASP.NET AJAX abstractions is the new XML markup syntax developed to make coding with AJAX easier (originally included with the core Atlas files, XML markup is now a part of the CTP called AJAX Futures). With XML markup, developers can modify their code declaratively.

However, there are times when a developer may want to be able to change her code programmatically, and in order to accomplish this, she will need to understand that underneath the markup abstraction, she is actually dealing with good 'ol JavaScript and some custom JavaScript libraries developed by Microsoft. In order to demonstrate the relationship between the Atlas declarative model and the programmatic model, I will go through a series of examples in which the same task will be accomplished both declaratively and programmatically. I will be demonstrating how to use the PreviewDragDrop library file to perform basic drag-drop operations as well as setting up drop zones.

COMET: Multi-client update Grid for Asp .net web App

Nature is so amazing that almost no two entities are identical, but every entity is unique. No two human faces are identical, but every one is unique. Likewise, business needs are never the same, but are unique. This brings a need to design customized software systems for every business even if they are in the same industry - say finance or healthcare. i.e., No two finance companies competing in same area are satisfied with same set of software. Their methodology differ, requirements differ, design differ. This makes one of them more successful.

After an article on COMET grid control (click link), this article focuses on taking a step further in the area with a specialized case. In the previous article, we discussed on a generalized COMET grid control. In this article we will discuss on using COMET approach to update multiple clients with varying data. That is, consider we have an ASP .net page that displays weather information. One web client, say Alice, sits in NYC and another web client, say Bob, sits in Chicago. Obviously we need to post different weather data to Alice and Bob. The previous article's COMET grid control have the capability to update all the clients with just same data. But that will not serve well our requirement here. We need to update Alice and Bob with different data. This article explains about a grid control with that capability: 'COMET: Multi Client update grid control. As always, fully working samples are available for download.
