I've decided that the LinqDataSource is my favorite datasource to use these days, because it allows me to consume my LinqToSql classes.  My fondness of Linq to Sql also leads towards frustration when I try to figure out what's going on behind the scenes.   One method for debugging is to use Sql Profiler to see exactly what the sql ...

So here I am, all ready to test out the blazing performance of the new WebDataGrid.  I set up my million row table, and bind the grid to it... the page loads blazingly fast.  Believe it or not, this has more to do with setting up your table indexes properly than anything else.  Anyway, paging is working perfectly, and I'm flying ...

Charts are fun and apparently useful.  They give people the ability to relate information quickly and effectively.  They show trends and patterns through the use of polygons in different locations and of varying sizes.  Most will probably agree with me on what I have said so far except for the fun part.  If you have ever tried ...

“Why Would I want to make my Web Pages Dance?” Well not really dance, but be alive and react. Using our CSOM, you can make your pages more responsive to user actions without having to post back to the server. This is all possible with JavaScript and the custom objects we expose. These custom objects represent our server side controls and has a ...

Drag what on my Web Page? Drag and drop has been prevalent in Windows Forms but not so much in ASP.NET. To bridge that disparity, Microsoft is working on a Drag and Drop framework built into ASP.NET AJAX Framework. Leveraging this evolving tool, I am going to show how you how we can incorporate drag and drop functionality into an ASP.NET page, ...

先週のことですが、7月30日に名古屋にて Infragistics Academia いうセミナーを開催しました。６月東京・大阪で開催したDeveloper Days ...

Web development is all about breaking up your application into pieces. Multiple pages make up a site.  UserControls are used to break up pages into smaller pieces, and custom libraries are often used for either framework value, or as GUI libraries.  Any time you start working with these scenarios, assemblies and references are going to ...

While, working on Pomegranate I did a lot of research to figure out the best options for using the ASP.NET AJAX library under SharePoint. Unfortunately, I came across a lot of samples that did not work or only worked in some cases.  I am hoping in a future SharePoint service pack Microsoft includes a base AJAX web part that properly ...

Microsoft is about to ship Visual Studio 2008 SP1, and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.  Now service patches aren't always very exciting, but these are because they contain some great new features.  You've probably already heard the buzz around AJAX History support, and Dynamic Data.  Script Combining is also part of SP1, and it's something ...

In the post just before this one, I talk a little bit about using the ASP.NET AJAX client library to help ease the pain of client-side development, but I don't actually mention or give any server-side examples or code snippets. Well, there's a good reason for that:  the ASP.NET AJAX client-side library does not require the ScriptManager or ...

I've been talking a lot lately about using the ASP.NET AJAX client library (which I'm going to refer to as AACL in this post) without the server-side controls, mostly in the context of ASP.NET MVC.  Now, I'm not necessarily recommending that you use it over any of the other fine JavaScript libraries out there (jQuery and MooTools come to ...

I've written about moving the <%@ Register TagPrefix ... %> directives out of your ASPX pages, and into your web.config.  But one thing I never talked about was - how to do that step.  I always did it manually, but about a year ago, I remember talking with one of the developers on the Project Upgrade Utility.. Well, that discussion ...

基幹業務(LOB - Line of Business)アプリケーション等で新しい技術を使用するサンプルや学習事例は現在Silverlight版faceOutとWPF版Tangerineがありますが、それに新しいMicrosoft SharePointとASP.NET 2.0学習事例のPomegranateが加わりました。 Pomegranateでは保険営業用顧客関連のKPI(Key Performance Indicator)を一目で見れるBI(Business ...

I am excited to announce the launch of Pomegranate. Pomegranate is a SharePoint 2007/ASP.NET 2.0 exemplar (reference) application. The main component of the application is a Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboard that an insurance agent would use to track customer based Key Performance Indicators (KPI).   Fiquare 1: ...

あっというまに6月も第2週、そろそろDevDaysに向けてフルスピードといきたいところに曇り空・・・。でも落ち込んではいられません！DevDaysでNetAdvantageのいろいろなことを知っていただこうとオフィスは熱気に包まれています。 日常サポート業務でサンプルと格闘している毎日ですが、DevDaysではその中からASP.NET開発やユーザエクスペリエンスの向上に使えそうなものをいくつか紹介させていただきたいと思います。シンプルなところではAJAXや検証コントロールの使用、深いところでは（まだ言えません）などでしょうか？ 実際にどういう形でお見せできるのかは来場いただいてからのお楽しみ・・・なんですが、このリンクを挙げておきます。→http://wwws.warnerbros.co ...

For those of you who keep a close watch on the off cycle ASP.NET projects that Microsoft has been working on, you're probably already familiar with Dynamic Data.  Well, today Dynamic Data just went from a cool beta, to a real product.  As Scott Gu mentions in his blog, Dynamic Data is being included in VS2008 SP1 (the beta is now ...

One of our IG champs (unofficial term), Christopher Bishop, has put up a really snazzy independent community site called VisualStudioTutorials.com: It has a tutorials, code snippets, and forums, and he'd love to get more folks using Infragistics and/or VS to share their stuff.  An interesting feature of the site is "The ...

Just in case you are local and can come - there are a few seats remaining at the NYC Devscovery - see my previous blog on this - but now there is also a new and interesting addition to the conference: The Grand Prix of Programming – Tuesday Night Bill Zack and Peter Laudati of Microsoft wanted to do a special user group meeting in NY as an ...

OK I don't usually have that much to say but Infragistics has stuff going on these days and I just want to do my part to make sure you don't miss cool happenings. So MIX was great and the treasure hunt ROCKED - go ahead admit it - you're jealous of the folks who got in on the ground floor. Anyway - that was a really cool thing we did in ...

I have seen the future and it’s in the clouds. The day I have been waiting for more than a decade has finally arrived. Yesterday at Mix 08 conference Microsoft rolled out its vision for the next web revolution. In a nutshell the vision centers on using the web as a communication hub where all kinds of rich devices (PC, Media Centers, Phones, Games ...

SharePoint 2007 is a great platform for enabling collaboration among team members, and a huge step forward as a development platform compared to earlier versions of SharePoint.  If you have done any development with SharePoint 2007, you will quickly notice how familiar the development experience is since SharePoint is now basically a big ...

This year—coming up very soon—Infragistics will be co-hosting devscovery with Wintellect!  This is going to be awesome.  Not too long ago, I blogged about how Infragistics is an MVP squirrel.  We’re bringing those nuts to this conference as well as some of our seasoned control developers and designers to bring you the best content ...

Today we released NetAdvantage for 2008 Volume 1 and there are a couple of very late known issues (so late we could not get them into the known issues documents) that may affect some customers upgrading from prior releases, or customers using the product in Visual Studio 2008. A fix for the first issue will be pushed to our website for download ...
