Trying To Re-create The Functionality Seen On 43things.com?
Aug 10, 2010
I am trying to re-create the functionality seen on 43things.com, where you enter a text and it gets added to the list below and also brings up "123 people want to do this". This entry seems to be permanently stored when you are visiting the site from your machine. I am just wondering how this works? Is it just a cookie placed on the user's machine? I also wanted to know how I could do the text addition in Ajax rather than having to postback? For ex. I just want an entry to be made and the "xxx want to do this" displayed as soon as the text has been submitted, like how it works with Facebook comments. Is there a component in AJAX control toolkit for ASP.net for this - I couldn't seem to find one?
I would like to know if there is any free control to create a contact us form with send mail functionality. I've seen AutoEmail which is not free. Is there any free control?.
I am trying to create a list view to provide functionality similiar to the pages in this article(will end up being much simpler in my case)

Basically I need three columns. Column 1 will be populated on page load with a list of user names and some data. Clicking on a user from column 1 will query for data regarding that user and bring back multiple rows to be displayed in Column 2. Clicking on data from a row in column 2 will return rows to be displayed in column 3. I am just curious as to how some of you guys would approach this. Ive looked at grouping templates and some articles regarding listviews with multiple rows but. Would it be easier to use 3 seperate listviews? Any ideas or articles to point me in the right direction?
We are working on a unique eCommerce site. This site is distinctive because when a purchase is made its not made by one person, but a group or "Collaborative" decisions. Individuals can add items to the shopping cart, but in the end the purchase is decided by the group in a "Collaborative" effort or Team Effort. So each team member is given tasks, inter-team messaging, can rate functionality with surveys, set milestones, rank specific features that are important to them. Another big part is that many aspects of the site allow for comments from members of the group. So many of the items in the application are "comment able" by the team. Is there anything we can buy (C#/ASP.NET/MVC) that gives us this functionality. Comment, Task, Survey, Rating, Messaging, Ranking Collaboration engine?
In my application, every time the active tabpage changes, I connect to a database, fill a datatable, and bind it to my data control. That's all the functionality.
The main reason I don't want to use the ajax tabcontrol is because of the way it's rendered on the browser. Assuming that tabcontrol.autopostback is true, the user clicks on another tabpage and he will see the tab change, and for a fraction of a second he'll see the data previously displayed in that tab. Then the page will do postback and the data in that tabpage will be refreshed. It just seems awkward. I also want it to work even if javascript is disabled.
I also tried using the multiview control, but it doesn't work without javascript.I simply want a "tabcontrol" similar to the one used on ebay.com. Once you do a search, you'll see three tabs: "All items", "Auctions only", and "Buy It Now Only". I can have everything disabled (active scripting, Flash, etc) and they still work.
I want to enable trace functionality. It works perfectly fine on the default.aspx.cs pages that have
using System.Web; on it. But whenever I try to use inside my custom namespace (in a class) it's not available. So I figured i would add
"using System.Web;" on that page as well. So Now, I have TraceContext popping up but I dont' see Trace.Write() method. i want to have trace.write() available on other pages. isn't that the reason for including a reference "using System.Web;"??
i want that while writing some text in an asp.net textbox, a listview page should open which will show the related topics containing that text just below that txtbox .

I was looking at the default register functionality within the MVC , to learn from it. So on the register view the found the following code for the regester.aspx button;
<p> <input type="submit" value="Register" /> </p>
But i did not understand how the visual studio knows what to do when the user clicks on the register button to perform the register functionalities?
I am designing a question module.What i want is while i'm typing something in a textbox (called title), it should list titles of other questions that have already been asked. But not done as AutoCompleteText.
I'd like those listed questions to pop up near the textbox and be set as a hyperlink, and by clicking on that link will result in the user being taken to that questions page to view all the available things about it.
Pretty much there would be an icon on the site. clicking it would bring up a pop up window with following fieds:
Name Email
you would then be able to fill out the page and an email would be sent to "email" provided in the "Email" field. The problem is: How do i know what page i'm on so that I can put it in the message?

i need to implement a tab functionality in a web page, which displays different gridviews on click of each tab. There might also be navigation buttons inside each tab for displaying popup and refreshing back the tab content on closing the popup.
Kindly let me know what approach would be an efficient way of implement this.
In my mind there are two options,
a) simply use imagebuttons(as i need to have custom image for tab header which i am not able to do it in ajax tabcontainer) and multiview controls to display various tab contents in a single *.aspx page(But i think this would mess up the aspx page with lot of code, as i need to have approx six gridview and its functions).
b) use an iframe instead of mutliview and make each tab content as seperate *.aspx page. (but i find there is postback occuring on movement from one tab to another even if i button iframe inside updatepanel & some people are request not to use iframes).
in asp.net 2.0 application i have a emailing module where i have used tiny_mce scripting it works fine
i need to give an additional functionality like in outlook expresss ie attaching/creating a template
how do i do it may be a word or html template which can be attached to the body part . the template shld be a custom template that can be created by user
I created a new MVC2 project and use the SqlMembershipProvider and Forms Authentication but am not using Roles (yet). Each user has additional information associated with them (e.g. Company) which is stored in a different table than the aspnet_* membership tables.
I store an additional small piece of information in the authentication cookie (e.g. CompanyId), and create a custom identity object during the AuthenticateRequest event and this custom identity object exposes the CompanyId as a property. Thus, CompanyId is available in controller actions that has been decorated with [Authorize].
When creating a new user, I now want to create this additional user information (e.g. Company) and associate it with the user. I realize there are many different ways to do this but since I am fresh to MVC I am soliciting advice about the best way to do this - I want to do it in the best "ASP.NET MVC way".
One option would be to change the AccountController's Register action and after a successful call to MembershipService.CreateUser(), do the work to create the additional info in the database. Doing it this way does not require any modification to IMembershipService etc.
Another option would be to modify the IMembershipService interface (add a "company" or "companyName" parameter to the CreateUser() method), then modify AccountMembershipService's implementation of CreateUser() and do the work to create the additional info in the database there.
And yet another option would be to leave IMembershipService alone and instead create my own IMyMembershipService and MyAccountMembershipService and use those.
