• Re: Suggestion: Utilize MSSQL extended properties for configuration

  Nice. "XML file metadata" is almost exactly what I'm looking for. I can very easily generate that XML file from SQL extended properties. So I can define the three validators from this CTP using the following XML elements: m:Range m:Regex m:Required What about RenderHint, DisplayColumn, or any of the other, non-validation-related attributes? Are they also in the "m" namespace prefix or is there another? And to answer this question: "how do you divide responsibilities between

• Suggestion: Utilize MSSQL extended properties for configuration

  SQL Server has offered extended properties since SQL 2000. I almost always use extended properties to define all sorts of meta-data. The original article on ExtProps from SQL Server Magazine summed it up nicely (my emphasis): Since the creation of the first 3 * 5 card database, developers have been yearning for the ability to more fully define, outline, and clarify their database tables, columns, and other structures—and to do so in a way that can help front-end (and middle-tier) applications more

• Re: UpdateProgress

  How did you setup the "Value-Add" CTP in your web.config? The MigrationGuide.doc is slightly wrong... You should have the following in system.web>>pages>>controls: <add namespace=" Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI " assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview" tagPrefix="asp"/> <add namespace=" Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI.Controls " assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview" tagPrefix="asp"/>

• Error in Beta1 Migration Guide: "Vault-Add" web.config settings

  According to the migration guide: 3. Add configuration settings for the “Value-Add” CTP and ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit <add namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI" assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview" tagPrefix="asp"/> <add namespace="Microsoft.Web.Preview.UI.Controls" assembly="Microsoft.Web.Preview" tagPrefix="asp"/> However, the first line is wrong. It should be what is below. This may be the cause of some UpdateProgress issues

• How to style a ModalPopup as a "Speech Balloon"?

  Does anyone have any pointers for how to style a ModalPopup as a "speech balloon"? The border should have rounded edges and a callout that points back to the control that triggered the ModalPopup. Odeo ( www.odeo.com ) and Netflex ( www.netflix.com ) use this UI paradigm and users love it. Click "Login" when you visit Odeo and you'll see what I'm talking about. Note that Odeo and Netflix's speech balloons are *not* modal and that neither site uses ASP.NET. Disclaimer: I realize that this is more

• Tip: Get rid of tables in the ReorderList control

  I love the ASP.NET team's new Atlas controls. I've used the ReorderList control on several client projects already. However, one thing I'm not crazy about is the fact that the control uses inline tables to separate the drag handle from the item. Thankfully, it took less than five minutes to modify this behavior. Here is what I did: Created a new enum in AtlasControlToolkit/ReorderList named "ReorderHandleLayoutMechanism". Added a new property to ReorderList.cs named "DragHandleLayoutMechanism". Modified

• Re: Atlas causing javascript conflicts?

  "and we just can't look at the source code for obvious legal reasons" I agree that there is no way to maintain compatibility between two JavaScript libraries if you can't look at the source code for one of them, particularly if they both have the same intent (bringing OOP principles to JavaScript 1.5). I withdrawal my request for Atlas-Prototype compatibility. However, if it somday becomes legally permissible look through the source (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/spinoffs/prototype/), then I

• Re: Atlas causing javascript conflicts?

  "I don't think there's a way we can ensure the compatibility with every other library out there." That's an extremely unfair statement in response to the original question. Prototype is not just "some library", it's a very popular, well-tested, and well respected library that is the underpinning of virtually all of today's Ajax-like web sites. It a website doesn't render correctly on IE6, you can't say "Oh there is no way for me to ensure the compatibility with every single browser out there". Sure
