In this blog post, I will show how you can apply some nice animation effects on your ASP.NET Menu control.

Generating excel files from .NET code is not always a very easy task, especially if you need to make some formatting or you want to do something very specific that requires extra coding. I’ve recently tried the GemBox Spreadsheet and I would like to share my experience with you.

Almost all .NET developers who have been working in several applications up to date are probably familiar with writing SQL queries for specific needs within the application. Before LINQ as a technology came on scene, my daily programming life was about 60-70% of the day writing code either in the front-end (ASPX, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/CSS etc…) or in the back-end (C#, VB.NET etc…), and about 30-40% writing SQL queries for specific needs used within the application. Now, when LINQ is there, I feel that the percentage for writing SQL queries got down to about 10% per day. I don’t say it won’t change with time depending what technology I use within the projects or what way would be better, but since I’m writing a lot LINQ code in the latest projects, I thought to see if there is a tool that can automatically translate SQL to LINQ so that I can transfer many queries as a LINQ statements within the code.

jQuery is definitely the most popular JavaScript library in the web.

In the past period I made series of blogs on ‘jQuery Templates in ASP.NET’ topic.

This is the last day of year 2010 and I would like to add links to all blogs I have posted in this year.
First, I would like to mention that I started blogging in ASP.NET Community in May / June 2010 and have really enjoyed writing for my favorite technologies, such as: ASP.NET, jQuery/JavaScript, C#, LINQ, Web Services etc. I also had great feedback either through comments on my blogs or in Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn where I met many new experts just as a result of my blog posts. Thanks to the interesting topics I have in my blog, I became DZone MVB.

Here is the list of blogs I made in 2010 in my ASP.NET Community Weblog:
(newest to oldest)

I have been subscribed to the Pluralsight website and of course since ASP.NET is my favorite development technology, I passed throughout few series of videos related to ASP.NET.

As I’ve mentioned in my first blog post, the Code Query Language (CQL) is used to help you write custom rules and query your own code. You can query your code on many specific ways. Also, the NDepend tool has nice CQL editor with excellent IntelliSense saupport.
