After some exhaustive research, I managed to find the best server settings for serving web fonts. There are a number of font formats that one can set MIME types for, on both Apache and IIS servers. I’ve traditionally had luck with the following: svg as “image/svg+xml” ttf as “application/x-font-ttf” or “application/x-font-truetype” otf as “application/x-font-opentype” woff as “application/font-woff” (per my August 16, 2013 update below) eof as “application/vnd.ms-fontobject” According to the Internet Engineering Task Force who maintain the initial document regarding Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME types) here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045#section-5 … it…

Data is read from a database. It is generated in memory from input. DataTable is ideal for storing data from any source. With it we take objects from memory and display the results in controls such as DataGridView. The DataTable type is a powerful way to store data in memory. You may have fetched this data from a database, or dynamically generated it. We get a DataTable with four columns of type int, string and DateTime. This DataTable could be persisted or displayed, stored in memory as any other object,…

In this article I will explain with an example how to use ASP.Net DropDownList control in the EditItemTemplate of ASP.Net GridView control. I created this GridView with EditItemTemplate. <asp:GridView ID=”GridView1″ runat=”server” AllowPaging=”True” AllowSorting=”True” AutoGenerateColumns=”False” AutoGenerateEditButton=”True” DataKeyNames=”CodeAction” OnRowEditing=”GridView1_RowEditing” OnRowDataBound=”GridView1_RowDataBound” OnRowUpdating=”GridView1_RowUpdating” OnPageIndexChanging=”GridView1_PageIndexChanging” OnRowCancelingEdit=”GridView1_RowCancelingEdit”> <Columns> <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton=”True” /> <asp:BoundField DataField=”CodeAction” HeaderText=”CodeAction” ReadOnly=”True” SortExpression=”CodeAction” /> <asp:BoundField DataField=”Description” HeaderText=”Description” SortExpression=”Description” /> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText=”Group” SortExpression=”GroupID”> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID=”Label1″ runat=”server” Text='<%# Eval(“GroupID”) %>’ Visible=”false”></asp:Label> <asp:DropDownList ID=”ddlGroup” runat=”server” DataTextField=”Group” DataValueField=”IDGroup” AutoPostBack=”True” OnSelectedIndexChanged=”ddlGroup_SelectedIndexChanged”> </asp:DropDownList> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID=”Label1″ runat=”server” Text='<%# Eval(“GroupID”) %>’></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText=”Subgroup” SortExpression=”SubGroupID”> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:Label…

With ASP.NET 2005 Microsoft introduced a pretty solid menu which is integrated with a configuration driven sitemap. The cool part is that the menu can be hooked in with your security roles, so you don’t have to worry about hiding or showing menu options based on the user – the menu options are automatically kept in sync with what the user is allowed to see.   Step one – Define the Sitemap I’m using a static sitemap defined in a Web.sitemap file, and it’s especially simple since there’s no is…

Documentation is a necessary evil for software developers. While C# and VB.NET have basic facilities for commenting code and embedding XML documentation into code, turning that into a more useful form is outside the realm of Visual Studio. These five applications can help you turn your comments and notes into proper documentation.   1: Sandcastle Sandcastle is probably one of the best known documentation generators for .NET, and it has the benefit of being open source. Unfortunately, Sandcastle is difficult to use on its own, prompting a small cottage industry…

A significant and growing number of apps rely on external data from remote servers or other external APIs. At some point you’ll be developing an app that downloads data in XML, JSON, HTML or some other text format. The problem is that the network condition cannot be relied upon when it comes to mobile devices. A user can be on an EDGE network one minute, and the a 3G network the next. Whatever the scenario, you don’t want to keep your user waiting! One option to reduce the file size…
