WPF Shaders continued …
Last time I asked if you find the pixel shaders useful in WPF applications. There were a couple of answers giving links to online resources, but no one did actually say they use shaders or find any practical application. Most of the examples in the internet target transition effects and I currently can’t think of any other practical application. Why so? Well, transition effects are good way to veil long loading times without using WPF transitions/animations, i.e. without increasing the CPU load (assuming effects are hardware accelerated). Applying effects constantly, on the other hand, will require rendering the scene all...September 30, 2008 2 min read -
Web ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET AJAX
How To: Telerik RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX with ASP.NET MVC
I've made small example how to use RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX in Microsoft ASP.NET MVC: The key here is to inherit from RadGrid and call explicitly desired grid commands. Let's say you want to edit particular record: 1) Create a template column and add this to the ItemTemplate: <%# Html.ActionLink("Edit", "RadGridCommand", new { ControlID = MyGrid1.ID, CommandName = "Edit", CommandArgument = Container.ItemIndexHierarchical }) %> 2) Now handle this in your controller: public ActionResult RadGridCommand(string ControlID, string CommandName, string CommandArgument) { ViewData["ControlID"] = ControlID; ViewData["CommandName"]= CommandName; ViewData["CommandArgument"] = CommandArgument; return View("Index"); } 3) Override OnPreRender in inherited class and call explicitly the grid... -

CSS >> Emulating border-color: transparent in Internet Explorer 6
Fortunately, Internet Explorer 7 supports border-color: transparent, but still, there are hardcore IE6 users and it seems that they will never update their browsers. This post is targeted to the developers that care and dare to make their websites crossbrowser. Thanks to a less known Internet Explorer CSS filter, the transparent border in Internet Explorer 6 can be easily achieved. Consider the following lines of CSS code: .testDiv { width: 200px; height: 200px; border: solid 10px transparent; } It works correctly under Internet Explorer 7, FireFox, Opera and Safari, while Internet Explorer displays a solid black border around .testDiv. To put it to work with IE6, we will create another rule, that is visible only in version... -
