Comments Off on Submiting a form from a silverlight page
If you”re using Silverlight 1.1 alpha, you might need to submit a form from your silvelright page”s codebehind file. You can do this easily by calling the static method Submit exposed by the HtmlPage class. It”s as simple as doing this: HtmlPage.Submit(); There”s also an override which lets you specify the name of the form […]

ASP.NET future bits: the Media server control

Comments Off on ASP.NET future bits: the Media server control
I”m just putting this here for the sake of completeness (since I”m trying to run through all the new features added by the future bits). I”m only willing to say that it”s based on the new Xaml server (and you know that i”m not happy with the Xaml control, right?)…

The 3.5 beta version of the .NET platform lets us use JSON as the serialization format used by a web service call. The best of all is that this means that we can now call a web service from an ASP.NET AJAX page. To do this, you need to add some entries to your configuration file […]

ASP.NET future bits: the Xaml server control
Posted in ASP.NET, Silverlight
Comments Off on ASP.NET future bits: the Xaml server control
In one word: needs improvements! If you use this control, you”ll be able to insert a Silverlight control in your page. As you might expect, the server control lets you parameterize several of the properties of the Silverlight control. However, it”ll generate an object or embedded tag (depends on the browser), which means that you”ll get […]

Comments Off on Dynamic data pages: showing different views of your data
As we”ve seen, by default pages must have the same name as the table from which it gets the data that it presents to the user. And what if you want to supply several views of your data? Or if you don”t really want to expose your table? In that case, you must change some […]

Comments Off on Dave and how to call JS from C#
Dave has a nice post showing how to call JS methods from C#. As I”ve also said in the past, it”s not really complicated, though I still don”t like it very much. Why don”t I like it? well, simply because it seems like one can”t hook up several methods to handle the event (which really […]

Creating a new Storyboard dynamically

Comments Off on Creating a new Storyboard dynamically
In the last day, I”ve found another quirk with the current 1.1 alpha release of Silverlight. Normally, you create an animation with markup code (ie, XAML). However, I wanted to use C# code and wanted to be able to create a new storyboard dynamically. After reading the docs, I thought that I should be able […]

It seems like Jeff”s post”s ripples haven”t stopped yet. Today, I”ve read Eric”s post on the subject. Even though he”s really a smart guy, I think that this time he”s wrong. According to his post, Petzold”s book will give you a deep understanding of WPF. Well, as I”ve said before, Pezold is good and there […]

well, almost, that is. And what a ride it was, letting me get some important info on several aspects related with C# coding and Javascript interop. First, I”d like to thank Bruce Williams for providing the answer for the issue related with running Silverlight on my 64 bits machine: the problem is that you can”t load the […]

Comments Off on Dynamic data pages: listing your tables and views
The DynamicNavigator control does what its name tell you: it”ll build you a list that lets you navigate to pages that show your table”s data. As you might expect, the control will use an ASP.NET UI control (in this case, a Menu) to list the tables/views presented on your db. It”s important to note that, by […]

Dave Relyea has just published a framework with several controls. Go get them!

Well, sort of. To be able to do this, there are some prerequisites: The Canvas type must be annotated with the ScriptableAttribute; You must expose an event which the js code on the page should handle; You must register your control with the WebApplication object by calling the RegisterScriptableObject method. Here”s a quick example (just […]

Well, it doesn” work! damn! After reading this post, I was really excited by beeing able to use this class to get info from remote domains (specially since, in my case, I”m building a Gadget, where cross-domain calls are allowed). Unfortunately, in the current bits, the BrowserHttpWebRequest class validates the passed Uri and it”ll throw […]

Comments Off on Hosting Silverlight controls on a sidebar gadget
What was supposed to be an easy task simply doesn”t work. It seems like I can instantiate the AgControl ActiveX object from a “normal” HTML page but it doesn”t when the page is loaded on the Windows Sidebar. The error is the old “Automation server can”t create object” which really means that the ActiveX can”t […]

The DynamicFilter control is a special kind of control: it will let you use ListControl to filter the data presented to the user (yes, this means that you can use any derived type of ListControl). The control exposes two important properties: ColumnName: lets you set the name of the column you”re using in the filter; […]

Today”s post is all about the new DynamicInsert control. This new control will let you do a single type of operation: inserting a new element on the database. It uses a DetailsView control to generate the layout, so everything I”ve said about the DynamicList and DynamicDetails control remains true. here”s the shortest line of markup […]
