In my last entry (AJAX News Rotator Part I), I described how I used the NewsManager in Sitefinity to create an AJAX news rotator that dynamically fetches news content using AJAX. Using the linkbuttons in the repeater, users can jump to different items in the list. However, this isn’t exactly a “rotator”, because to me […]

I’ve recently been developing a control to display recent news in a rotating fashion. Originally, I was using the RadRotator control from Telerik. This is a powerful control that takes a lot of the guesswork out of displaying and rotating news. However, I decided to build my own for two reasons. First, I didn’t like […]
I’ve recently needed to develop a method to allow users to access files that are on a restricted domain. This domain is on an internal server that has no external access. However, it serves documents and files to a webserver that is accessible externally. So the webserver has access to the files, meaning they can […]
Procrastination will only get you so far before you have to finally just put it off and get your ass to work. Today I finally get back into the swing of things with my first post since my sites (still incomplete) migration to SiteFinity Content Management System. I know there is still much to do […]
I’m not sure if the Microsoft .NET Framework has support for rounding to the nearest ten, hundreds, thousands, etc, so I built a quick snippet of code to accomplish this. The basic algorithm is to mod the value by 10 (can be modified to handle 100, 1000, etc), then if less than the median (in […]
I’ve been wanting a checklist system for a long time to keep track of projects and To-Do lists for my programs and web projects. Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 doesn’t support subtasks!I scoured the web looking for an alternative, but found nothing that I liked… Then I remembered OneNote, it’s a great utility for keeping notes and […]
Up until now I’ve been blowing off adding paging support to my web projects. This is very bad practice and I figured it was time to stop. Now I know enough SQL to make a SELECT command (if I have a program that can generate it for me :P) so I didn’t even know where […]
In my last entry, I touched on a way to dynamically select a specific number of rows from a table in a SELECT SQL query. It works great if you are going to supply the value directly when you call the procedure. But what if you are using a static value that is stored in […]
As I’m beginning work on my senior project, I have discovered the need to select a specific number of rows from a SELECT query in SQL Server 2000. Although the new 2005 version has the built in ability to pass a variable for the TOP clause, no such functionality exists in SQL SERVER 2000. Fortunately […]
Ahh it’s all coming back to me now… the headaches that is 😛 One thing that I would always forget how to do with the new asp.net 2.0 data controls is how to enable editing using the datasource. I set up the sql statements for select, insert, update, and delete, but only select would work. […]
