You cannot call server-side code ‘directly’ from client-side code. That is because by design, the server side code executes at server side and client side code at the client. However there are some workarounds. To call serverside code from javascript, you will need to use AJAX, and the easiest way out, is to use the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions. One option while using Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX is to call ASP.NET Web services (.asmx files) from the browser by using client script. The script can call a webservice containing server-based methods (Web methods) and invoke these methods without a postback and without refreshing the whole page. However this approach could be overkill sometimes, to perform the simplest of tasks. Moreover the logic needs to be kept in a separate .asmx file. We need something that is more ‘integrated |

The making of Blogo.NET
Published: 18 Apr 2008
By: Ferdy Christant
This article explains in detail how I developed Blogo.NET, a N-tiered blog application based upon the .NET 3.5 framework.
Introduction
Part of this article is a discussion about the requirements and architecture, and details about the design and development of the application, from start to finish.
Much of the architectural principles are borrowed from Imar Spaanjaars' most-excellent series of articles: Building Layered Web Applications with Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0. Whilst Spaanjaars' article is extensive enough |

Taking pictures with a digital camera may be a snap—literally—but editing, improving, and printing your photos and photo projects can be daunting at times. Photo Explosion Deluxe ($50 Street, minus $20 mail-in rebate) attempts to provide a strong—and welcome—dose of simplicity. Unfortunately, the software is a bit too simple and lacks the polish and ease of use we've come to expect in photo-editing software in website design. Installation wasn't as painless as we would have liked. The software often tells you to insert a disc in the CD drive but neglects to tell you which disc it wants. In addition to the program, the discs hold 7,500 projects and photos. The late version, Photo Explosion ($29 direct), has 4,000 projects and photos. To install all of Deluxe, you'll need about 900MB. You can tuck the basic version of Deluxe i |

An elegantly designed site built filled with engaging content is worth very little without an interested audience. An opt-in mailing list built by a professional web design company is one of the most effective methods of making contact with your audience and driving repeat traffic to your site. If visitors enjoy and trust your site, they're likely to trust you with their email addresses -- after all, they'll want to be informed of new products, articles, or other relevant information. This is a great way to build relationships with your site's users, and encourage them to come back to your site again and again.
In this article, we'll learn to use AJAX to accept subscriptions to your mailing list without having to refresh the page; with this approach, your signup process will be quick and |

The first and crucial step to a successful SEO campaign is the wise choice of the right keywords you will optimize for. If you fail on this very first step in your website design, the road ahead is very bumpy and most likely you will only waste your (or your client's) money and time. There are many ways to determine which keywords to optimize for and usually the final list of them is made after a careful analysis of what the online population is searching for, which keywords have your competitors chosen and above all - which are the keywords that you feel describe your site best. All of this is great and certainly this is the way to go but if you want to increase your chances of success, additional research is never too much, especially when its results will save you the shots in the dark.

In this column, I'll focus on ASP.NET AJAX configuration entries in web. config as well as on the role new HttpHandler and HttpModule classes play in AJAX-enabling Web sites.
Create a New ASP.NET AJAX Web Site
Once you've installed the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions from http://ajax.asp.net, you will see a new template named "ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site" in Visual Studio .NET 2005's New Web Site dialog.
When you use the ASP.NET AJAX-Enabled Web Site template to create a new Web site in website design, you add a specialized web.config file that contains various configuration entries for enabling ASP.NET AJAX functionality on the server side. The ASP.NET AJAX Extensions documentation breaks down each of the configuration tags added into web.config.
