• Re: Advice about what controls to use

  How about the Repeater control? It gives the developer the most flexibility in terms of UI.

  No, it doesn't matter.

• Extending a server control to provide default values

  My example here is a 3rd party grid control but can apply to any of the server controls: I want to keep my UI very consistent. I'm going to have lots of pages that make use of the RadGrid control. What I want to avoid is having to re-create the default properties, i.e - setting page size, allow sorting, skin, etc, etc. I'm guessing I would create some kind of wrapper for the Grid control and set its default values there. Then instead of using <telerik:RadGrid... I can use <customtelerik

• Dynamic Usercontrols

  What I'm doing is using a Panel control (maybe I should use PlaceHolder instead?) to dynamically populate with a usercontrol. So all my usercontrols really act as pages - they just simply fill in the default page and get added to the Panel collection; one at a time. I can load my usercontrol just fine; however, the usercontrol does not seem to respond to the button_click event (on the control itself). When I step through - the page_load is fired, but the button_click never is. Is there something

• Re: Will MVC replace Web forms ( at least when it comes to internet apps )?

  [quote user="beginwithL"] You think most newbies will choose MVC? cheers [/quote] It really depends on your definition of "newbie". If you're talking new to ASP.NET but a wealth of other programming knowledge, my guess would be MVC. If you're talking about a new programmer completely, they'll probably be drawn in by the drag and drop controls of Web Forms.

• Re: Will MVC replace Web forms ( at least when it comes to internet apps )?

  The MVC folks have said there is no intention on replacing Web Forms. Web Forms will continue to be supported just like MVC. Now ASP.NET Developers will have two choices when approaching a project. In my opinion, this is good and bad. It's good because options are nice. It's bad because options means more work. I will continue down the Web Form road but will slowly learn MVC to remain competitive.

• Re: ASP.Net data controls seem to have an intrinsic inefficiently. Is this correct?!

  I don't think it's so much a limitation with ASP.NET as it is with the Web as you know, which is stateless. Every situation has to be approached differently. Sometimes you you're not pulling back a lot of data so you can live with the Viewstate. Then there are times when you don't want Viewstate and you don't want to constantly hit the database (getting closer to your situation) - these can be good situations for caching. Then you're just pulling data from memory. Another

• Re: Architecture folks - Thoughts on MVC

  [quote user="TATWORTH"] I will probably be flamed unmercilessly for questioning MVC. Having seen some of the supposedly better alternatives to web forms perform badly, I am cautious about MVC being more of a purist idea than a practical idea. Now if you have a simple project which you have have the time to do both conventionally and via MVC, then by all means try it out, but do not under-estimate the time it will take to make the transition. Will I recommend MVC to my next client? Not until

  [quote user="bitmask"] Did you setup wildcard mapping to the asp.net runtime? http://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2007/07/27/Configure-IIS-for-Wildcard-Extensions-in-ASP.NET.aspx [/quote] Thank you so much! That did it.

• URL Routing

  I followed this to get routing setup locally in development: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/03/11/using-routing-with-webforms.aspx Using ASP.NET 3.5 sp1, I was able to get this to work just fine using the built in web server with VS 2008 Pro. I moved this over to production, which is win2k3 server with iis 6 and the routes don't work at all. By don't work I mean I get the "page cannot be found" error. I even took the demo application in that link I posted (which worked fine locally
