Passing large amounts of data through web services can become a huge bottle-neck in a WAN application architecture (i.e., server is on the web), and in any case, a real load on the network traffic. This is one solution for downsizing the network costs.

BSEtunes is a MySQL based, full manageable, networkable single or multiuser jukebox application. With BSEtunes the user could listen single- or multi selected songs, random songs, complete albums, songs in playlists etc. You could filter the random playback or create unlimited numbers of playlists. For selections drag the content from one panel to another. BSEtunes contains also an intergrated wpf coverflow clone.

This project started from a need. A need to have a simple image/photo .NET filters functionality to style and enhance pictures to be displayed on the web (or any other place for that matter). True, there are some filter libraries scattered around the web for doing stuff like a WaterMark or a GrayScale or even a collection of those (ImageMagick). In most cases they are very basic or unhelpful for styling images. Furthermore, the .NET System.Drawing.* namespace doesn't provide any basic or sophisticated capabilities. For example, there isn't a proper rotate or resize functionality. So the goal was to collect all of the nice .NET filters that are out there into a single package and to extend it by providing more useful and styled filters..

This article discusses a component that enables automated content filtering for the WPF Toolkit DataGrid.

Enhanced WPF ListView that is almost a DataGrid

While master/detail reports can display both the master and detail records on a single page, on many Web sites they are separated out across two Web pages. In this tutorial we looked at how to implement such a master/detail report.

The DropDownList serves as an ideal user interface element for master/detail reports where there is a one-to-many relationship between the master and detail records.

A common type of report is the master/detail report, in which the report begins by showing some set of "master" records. The user can then drill down into one of the master records, thereby viewing that master record's "details." Master/detail reports are an ideal choice for visualizing one-to-many relationships, such as a report showing all of the categories and then allowing a user to select a particular category and display its associated products. Additionally, master/detail reports are useful for displaying detailed information from particularly "wide" tables (ones that have a lot of columns). For example, the "master" level of a master/detail report might show just the product name and unit price of the products in the database, and drilling down into a particular product would show the additional product fields (category, supplier, quantity per unit, and so on).

There are many ways with which a master/detail report can be implemented. Over this and the next three tutorials we'll look at a variety of master/detail reports. In this tutorial we'll see how to display the master records in a DropDownList control and the details of the selected list item in a GridView. In particular, this tutorial's master/detail report will list category and product information.

A set of filters to modify and style your images and photos

The new AJAX.NET Extensions and the AJAX Control Toolkit provide powerful additions to the ASP.NET developer. By providing client-side capabilities all controlled within these "extenders," you have the means to provide more powerful input into how the application interacts, giving your application a richer UI. In this article, we'll be looking at the FilteredTextBox extender to see how this works.
