Using WebHandlers with jQuery (ASP.NET 2)

A WebHandler is a useful way for updating data without needed to resort to an ASP.NET page (with its additional overhead). You can decide what content type to send (so can send data as text/html, text/plain or even image/jpeg - all can be handled with the same file) and don't have to worry about view state, but you cannot use the WYSIWYG utilities you may normally use so they are more suited to those comfortable with coding by hand. Combine this with jQuery and you have an easy way to update records (or do any kind of processing on the server) without using postbacks (and it can result in a more efficient application). The ASP.NET page <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title>Test Page</title> <script src="...

Link: Really Simple Live Comment Preview

You can use jQuery to show a live preview of comments before you post them (so you can see how they will display when you submit) and it is very simple to do.

It could be improved if the live preview was styled like it would be if you posted the message (with your name and date before the comment), rather than just showing the comment and possibly malicious tags (script, object) not interpreted.

Link: Open Source C# Projects

While I think PHP (and other open source languages) developers have more of a positive attitude to open source (perhaps because of a different mindset in general compared to .NET developers and the cost of Visual Studio) there is some software available under some kind of open source license and a lot of it can be found via: http://csharp-source.net/

Text Clip Generator for jQuery

As a user of jQuery ( jquery.com ) and Programmer's Notepad 2 ( www.pnotepad.org ) I find that the text clips feature of PN2 can help productivity (and also be used as a quick reference of the methods available), so I have created a command line tool (written in .NET 1.1) that can generate these clips. Source code (BSD style license) and a binary are available for download from jQuery - Text Clip Generator Hopefully this will be of use to someone.
