I’m sure you’ve all had to export to Excel at one point or another. I created a small wrapper around the EPPlus library for MVC. (more)

A Method for Populating a Dropdown List in ASP.NET MVC

published 268 days, 10 hours, 39 minutes ago posted by

http://derans.myopenid.com/ 273 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes ago

I’m asked quite a bit how to bind a dropdown list in ASP.NET MVC. So there are about 10,000 ways to do it, but here’s one. First, we’ll create a simple interface to return a list of SelectListItem so we can use the built-in DropDownListFor() later on. (more)

Dynamically Generate Form with jQuery and ASP.NET MVC

Hopefully it’s obvious that you probably won’t need to do this very often, but when it’s needed, it’s nice to have available. I thought I’d share this little helper to dynamically create a form, append it to body, and submit it. (more)

Making Prettier Forms: Converting Checkboxes into Images

published 340 days, 12 hours, 21 minutes ago posted by

http://derans.myopenid.com/ 346 days, 16 hours, 4 minutes ago

Basically, you don’t have to make the end-user feel like they’re filling out a form. There are ways to make it seem less intimidating. One way is to swap out the typically hard-to-click checkbox or radio button with an image. It gives the user a larger click area and it looks nice…at least in my opinion. (more)

Deran Schilling, Learner: How to easily turn your L2S objects into interfaces

posted by

In one of our recent code reviews, we found several methods that looked almost identical. All of these methods were just for lookup tables that populated a dropdown. So…this is what we did: We had a repository with something like GetDepartmentList and GetStatusList that looked something like this: (more)

New jQuery Plugin: FunkyFocus

published 728 days, 12 hours, 38 minutes ago posted by

http://derans.myopenid.com/ 729 days, 17 hours, 15 minutes ago

So this jQuery plugin was built to help my end-users know immediately what section of a form they’re working on. Also, don’t blame me for the name. It was given to my new plugin by my wife because I couldn’t think of anything “catchy”. Basically what this thing does is changes the background of sections of forms or individual inputs. It’ll be better to post screenshots to get the idea…so…here you go… (more)

Contact Form Revisited with ASP.NET MVC 3, jQuery Validator, & the jQuery Form Plugin

published 730 days, 1 hour, 38 minutes ago posted by

http://derans.myopenid.com/ 733 days, 18 hours, 2 minutes ago

I recently added a partial contact view to my MVC3 project and thought I’d share since I did basically this same post over a year ago with the original MVC. I stopped using the Castle Validation because I’ve found that the MVC3 stuff is working for me now. I also am not using fluentHtml anymore because MVC3 uses that style now. (more)

Seriously WebForms like ASP.NET MVC

published 745 days, 20 hours, 48 minutes ago posted by

I used my little WebFormContrib library again today. Some days I love revisiting old code because you realize how ignorant of some practices you were in the past. Hopefully none of you download it and say…geez this guy is Mr. Ignoramus. If you do, keep it to yourself. Kidding, please comment and inform the ignorant (me). Anyhow, it’s been about 6 months since I’ve had to use WebForms, but today I had to and it wasn’t bad. I was able to tie my view into my pages and controls and used AutoMapper to map ba... (more)

ASP.NET MVC 3 Sample Project Launched

Okay, after popular demand of I think 0 people, I’ve published my old demo MVC 1 project as an MVC 3 project. If you haven’t read any of the posts on the last demo project, check out this post. This project completely separates UI & C# code, so you only have 2 projects (Core & UI…not counting the Unit Tests project). Basically, all I did was create a new MVC 3 project using Razor with Microsoft’s default template and deleted everything except the following: (more)

There are about 10 bajillion ways to figure out if a user is authorized to call a method or see a page or whatever else. This particular post is about how to create an attribute to see if a user is authorized to do a particular action. I’ll give an example using MVC and WebForms. (more)

Allowing HTML with iFrames and jQuery

posted by

http://derans.myopenid.com/ 874 days, 11 hours, 19 minutes ago

So I’ve had a problem of displaying other people’s HTML on my page and their invalid HTML messing up my page’s formatting. So, I found a solution after digging through the Outlook Web Application (OWA) HTML to see how they handle the issue. I do it a little differently, but the idea is the same. (more)

After using the WebFormContrib mini-framework the past couple weeks, I’ve grown to really like it. I thought I’d share some of the ways I’m using it in hopes that you might benefit from it too. This first sample is on how to show data on a page and not have to worry about any of the form elements. We will also not use any asp.net controls like gridviews, literals, or labels. So, here we go using Visual Studio 2008 (more)

Sitefinity is a really nice CMS and allows for full customization and we’re still learning how to handle the custom user controls. So…this is how we’re doing it right now. (more)
