jQuery is a small JavaScript library that makes development of HTML-based client JavaScript drastically easier. With client logic getting ever more complex and browsers still diverging in features and implementation of features, jQuery and other client libraries provide much needed normalization when working with JavaScript and the HTML DOM.

A tool to compress JavaScript files to reduce their size and improve page load times.

Google has provided a very reach Google Maps API to use it in our own application. But we need some short of javascript knowledge in order to use it. I don't know about others, but for me it was a little difficult to use javascript along with google apis in ASP.Net pages, specifically if you want to use server side functions to draw google map dynamically. For example, in my case I wanted to pull latitude longitude information from a SQL Server database and then use them to insert pushpins on google map. If you are familiar with Ajax framework, you know the answer. You will have to call asp.net server side function from javascript and use retrieved data to draw a google map. How simple is that? :). Atleast not for me. So I have decided to write a user control which can take care of javascript part and allows me to concentrate on serverside functions.

Many of the built-in ASP.NET server controls require additional, external resources in order to function properly. For example, when using any of the ASP.NET validation controls, the controls rely on a bevy of JavaScript functions to perform their client-side validation. While each validation control could emit such script directly into the page's content, a more efficient approach would be to package these JavaScript functions into an external JavaScript file and then include that file in the page using <script src="PathToExternalJavaScriptFile" type="text/javascript" >. This would reduce the total page size and would allow the browser to cache the external JavaScript file (rather than having to send the JavaScript code down to the browser on each and every page visit/postback).

Prior to ASP.NET 2.0, such external resources that needed to be accessible to the visitor's browser had to be implemented as actual files on the file system. If you've worked with ASP.NET 1.x's validation controls, your pages have included a reference to a JavaScript file /aspnet_client/system_web/version/WebUIValidation.js and there is an actual file with that name residing in the web application's root. Such external resources hamper deployment - if you deploy your application from the testing server to production, it's imperative that the production server have the same external resources (WebUIValidation.js, in this case), in the same locations in the file system.

To remedy this, ASP.NET 2.0 allows for external resources to be embedded within the control's assembly and then be accessed through a specified URL. With the external images, JavaScript files, CSS files embedded in the control's assembly, deployment is a breeze, as all of the resources are now contained within the assembly (the .dll file). There are no external resources whose file names and location on the file system must map up. Once embedded into the assembly, these resources can be accessed from an ASP.NET 2.0 web page through a special URL (WebResource.axd)..

In the current sample of the project, I used the AJAX development approach to dynamically display and interact with the information presented. I decided to couple the JavaScript Grid and Web Service from my previous articles. This article shows how it's simple to use my JavaScript Grid along with AJAX on client side. Since the client and server code were done, all that I needed to do is to couple it into one application. It is pretty simple to introduce the Grid into a web application..
