ASP.net Control Gallery - tons of free stuff

In all the time that I've been using the ASP.net website I never really understood what the tab for "Control Gallery" was all about. I'd just kinda assumed that it must be a place where really smart people insert totally cool controls for others to download and enjoy. Turns out that it's not like that at all because they've accepted my new ContextMenu server control as a download :-) My control is now listed here:

    http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx?Control=1935

Maybe I'll spend some time poking around there and see what other dummies have done that could make my life easier ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up Ken, I can't believe that I haven't used this resource before - I'm always on the lookout for free stuff.

P.S. Unfortunately it doesn't see as though they expose new additions via Rss, although they do list controls that will help you produce and consume it!

    2 things:



    1. Why is there no demo or sample page which comes with the project.



    2. The control didn't work for me. After placing the "ContextMenu" control on a page I went to the "items" property in the designer and started adding items. This worked but when I looked at the html it added this: "<miu:contextmenu id="ContextMenu1" runat="server" items="(Collection)"></miu:contextmenu>"



    also once I manually added menuitems to the html, and a menu link, clicking on the menu link did nothing.



    Any ideas?

  • Gimme 12 hours and I'll post a short tutorial on how to get a couple of test pages up and running; then, I'll add that as a demo project which comes with the download.



    Thanks for the feedback :-)
