This past weekend I, along with around 50 other local geeks, volunteered three days of my time to build web applications for eight different Columbus-area nonprofits. Columbus Give Camp is based on a similar series of events in Michigan. The Columbus Give Camp was hosted by Quick Solutions, who, conveniently, are located five floors above [...]
Tagged columbus, givecamp, Ruby, unit testing, WebA couple of weeks ago, I wrote In LINQ, Beware of Skip(0). In that post, I observed that calling Skip(0) on a query result in LINQ, which has no effect on the dataset returned, imposes a performance penalty with at least some LINQ providers. At the time I commented that there might be some desirable [...]
Tagged linq, linq to sql, testingI’m going to demonstrate how to use the open-source DayPilot Lite calendar control in an ASP.NET MVC application. I will discuss the capabilities of the control and consider the general problem of how to use controls designed for "plain" ASP.NET in MVC applications. I’m including a demo solution which you can download and run yourself.

If you spend enough time with the PagedList class that I’ve been using for paging in the method which supplies data to jqGrid, it’s a near-certainty that sooner or later you will see a LINQ error with Count in the call stack. The error may seem confusing, because it has nothing to do with Count. [...]
Tagged asp.net mvc, entity framework, jqGrid, jQuery, linq, linq to sql, unit testingThe jQuery :nth-child selector has an "index" argument which is 1-based. But the jQuery "index" method, which is arguably the converse of the selector, returns a 0-based result. This is very easy to work around once you’re aware of it, but it’s surprising in a library which is, generally, designed both well and consistently.

This is the fifth post in a series on using jqGrid with ASP.NET MVC. Today, we’re going to begin examining the grid’s editing features by implementing deletes. If you’re new to the series, you might want to start at the beginning.
The delete feature of jqGrid is, oddly, almost entirely undocumented, even though there quite a [...]
This is the fourth post in a series on using jqGrid with ASP.NET MVC. Today, we’re going to examine search and formatting results. I will implement a search feature and fix the problem with formatting date columns which I observed in the last post. I’ve updated the demo solution with these new features, and also [...]
Tagged .NET, asp.net mvc, C#, javascript, jqGrid, jQueryI have a couple of short updates on topics I’ve covered recently.
On The Podcast at Delphi.org, Nick Hodges confirms my earlier speculation about reorganization in the "CodeGear" group at Embarcadero. The whole show is worth listening to. Congratulations are due to Chris Pattinson, who was promoted to Director of Quality for all of Embarcadero. Time [...]
Mere hours after I posted the first in a planned series of posts on using jqGrid in ASP.NET MVC applications, Phil Haack, a rather-more-widely-read-ASP.NET-MVC-blogger, wrote a long post on, er, exactly the same thing. Who, me, bitter? Naahhh…
But it turns out that we’re using the grid in a different way, and I think [...]
This is the first post in a short series on using the jqGrid jQuery plug-in with ASP.NET MVC. In this short introduction I will describe the plug-in, list some of its strengths and weaknesses, and explain why we selected it for our MVC applications. In the next few days, I will give detailed information about [...]
