  • Paging ListView using DataPager without using DataSource Control

    If you have already used the ASP.NET ListView and DataPager controls, you know how easily you can display your data using custom templates and provide pagination functionality. You can do that in only few minutes. The ListView and DataPager controls work perfectly fine in combination with DataSource controls (SqlDataSource, LinqDataSource, ObjectDataSource etc.), however if you use them with custom data collection, without using Data Source controls, you may find some unexpected behavior and have to add some little more code to make it work.

  • 1600+ downloads of source code files

    For some of the blogs I have posted in the previous several months, I have included source code of the code snippets used within the posts. I upload all source code files in Box.net. Today, I was pretty amazed when I saw the number of downloads… The number has passed 1600 downloads and it’s rapidly increasing with each new days. This says that many people have found interesting and useful these source code files.

  • Linqer – a nice tool for SQL to LINQ transition

    Almost all .NET developers who have been working in several applications up to date are probably familiar with writing SQL queries for specific needs within the application. Before LINQ as a technology came on scene, my daily programming life was about 60-70% of the day writing code either in the front-end (ASPX, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/CSS etc…) or in the back-end (C#, VB.NET etc…), and about 30-40% writing SQL queries for specific needs used within the application. Now, when LINQ is there, I feel that the percentage for writing SQL queries got down to about 10% per day. I don’t say it won’t change with time depending what technology I use within the projects or what way would be better, but since I’m writing a lot LINQ code in the latest projects, I thought to see if there is a tool that can automatically translate SQL to LINQ so that I can transfer many queries as a LINQ statements within the code.

  • List of blogs - year 2010

    This is the last day of year 2010 and I would like to add links to all blogs I have posted in this year.
    First, I would like to mention that I started blogging in ASP.NET Community in May / June 2010 and have really enjoyed writing for my favorite technologies, such as: ASP.NET, jQuery/JavaScript, C#, LINQ, Web Services etc. I also had great feedback either through comments on my blogs or in Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn where I met many new experts just as a result of my blog posts. Thanks to the interesting topics I have in my blog, I became DZone MVB.

    Here is the list of blogs I made in 2010 in my ASP.NET Community Weblog:
