After spending numerous frustrating hours (OK maybe minutes) to get a decent example of implementing the jQuery UI date picker in ASP.NET I decide to jot it down here. First download it if you don’t have it yet here.
First you want to reference the stylesheet:
<link href="CSS/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
(I selected the ui-lightness theme when I downloaded and placed it in the CSS folder I created - this should go into the HEAD section of your aspx page)
Next you need to reference the script files (in the aspx body section):
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/ui/ui.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/ui/ui.datepicker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
(I copied the scripts to a the js folder I created)
Now add a textbox to the page that will pop-up the calendar when selected receive the date selected, I named mine txtValue1. Also set the CssClass:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtValue1" runat="server" CssClass="ui-datepicker" Visible="true"></asp:TextBox>
Finally you need the JavaScript to pop the date picker (I added it to the top of the page in the body section after the previous script references):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#<%=txtValue1.ClientID %>").datepicker();
});
</script>
And that’s about it!
If you have hassles, make sure that the stylesheet and script files are correctly referenced.
This is how my MapServer .NET development experience began. Searching the internet for a solution inevitably leads you back to the “you’re missing a dependency” and “compile the dll yourself”. Not exactly the simple solution I was hoping for.
Alas after trying in vain to compile MapServer myself and endless hours scouring the internet I found the source! The latest compiled builds for MapServer and the MapScript libraries can be found here: http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx
Be sure to use the DLLs from the same build when writing applications using MapScript. It is very easy to get lost in DLL Hell with all the different versions being used by MapServer over time.
In the following weeks I will write about some of my experiences developing an ASP.NET web application using C# and MapScript.
I’ve just downloaded the Chrome OS virtual machine. Very disappointing! I spent about ten minutes in it before I tried to shut it down but couldn’t find the shutdown button? My first impression from an email I wrote to a friend was this:
“Its a piece of crap! - it’s like booting into Chrome browser - and that’s about it - it doesn’t even have a shutdown button/menu???
If you’ve seen Chrome you’ve seen Chrome OS…”
Functionality like the Google synchronized bookmarks are not implemented yet. There is an option for adding Chrome extensions that is also not implemented yet.
I suppose the idea was always that Chrome OS be a browser based OS and it seems to be just that.
