Articles on ASP.net, SQL Server, Web Design and computer stuff in general.

After attempting to use a blog system for .Net and getting nothing spam in the comments, I decided it's finally time to rip everything down and build it myself. The goal here it provide some code to fill in the blanks for some pretty common tasks and making everything here open source. It will be a little different than how I normally develop sites. I only have 25 megs of sql server room at this host, typically I have all I want. So the challenge will be building a fast dynamic site without using the use of a sql server database heavily. Hopefully this challenge will keep me entertained.

    Currency Textbox Control for ASP.net/C#

    Simple control for validating currency. It's a really basic example of how to use ASP.net's regular expression validator control.

    Superfish .Net Navigation Control

    I put up the tutorial on how to create a superfish menu using asp.net server side controls, linq, CSS, and Jquery. It uses a sitemap to make it easily updatable. It really doesn't do too much extra stuff so it should be easy to modify to get it to do what you want.

    First up a blog system for .net using XML

    Over the next days, weeks I'll attempt to make a fast blog for commenting on articles on the site using XML. The challenge will be creating a control that can figure out how and where to store information without having to customize the control for each page. I will also use ASP.net's built in login system to secure it. Not that the information will be of great value, but mainly to prevent spam.

    The goal of this site is to make a repository of reusable and easy to use controls. I'd like to keep things simple to so that that they can be easily added on to do what you need them to do. Nothing here is meant to be a finished product, hopefully it will get you half way to where you need to be.
