Filter GridView Records using AJAX Slider Control

March 12, 2010

Sometimes we need to filter the gridview data based on some range value. On that case we can use AJAX Slider control to provide scrollable Filter functionality with gridview control. Data source for the Gridview can be anything like XML or Database.

You can read the complete article and Implementation and download the sample application  from DotNetFunda.Com

I will also write one article on AJAX MulipleSlider to filter the data based on minimumn and maximum value.

Please share your valuable feedback and suggestion.

Excellent Debugging Features in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

January 4, 2010

The Visual Studio 2010 IDE is simply great and came up with many new features within it. I have found one of the great and innovative features in Debugging style in VS 2010 Professional Beta 2 that is Pin/Unpin Object/Variable Inspect or Data Tip.

while debugging in visual studio we generally used mouse over on the object or variable to inspect the current value. This shows the current data items hold by the inspected object. But this is for limited time, as long as long the mouse is pointed to that object those value will be available. But in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, there is a great feature to pin and unpin this inspected value. We can pin as many of any object and there sub object value also. Please have a look into below picture.
Apart from that there are many features like Drag and Drop Tip, Add Comments on tip etc. Here is my one complete article on CodeProject. Please have a look
