(Edward Steward) I am currently developing an in-house n-tier application, and has managed to reduce vast amounts of code through Reflection. The one part that is still left to manual, tedious code entry is in the client side business objects. On the smaller objects, this isn’t a real issue, but som

(Ged Mead) This article came about because I had seen several posts on vbCity recently where I thought the best approach might be to use a BackgroundWorker. As you probably know, this is a helper component that wraps away some of the down-and-dirty stuff you need if you want to use multithreading.

(Scott Mitchell) The previous three articles in this series focused on building AJAX-enabled web applications using server-side techniques and controls.

(Codegod) This article is about using the ObjectDataSource in combination of ASP.NET, Ajax-Extensions and SQL-Server-database. The ObjectDataSource is shipped with .NET-framework 2.0.

(Eric Landes) As we mentioned in Part 1 of this series, the impetus for this series came about because I want to incorporate agile methods into the reporting modules of projects. After reviewing the different practices that can be found in agile projects, the focus of this series is on how to creat

(Daniel Morris) A common requirement in non-trivial data editing forms is to request confirmation of pending deletions. However, the default behaviour of the .NET GridView control on deletion is to commit the deletion without soliciting any further feedback from the user. This behaviour does tend to
