Forcing a partial postback from an HTML control

I’ve been looking for this tip for many hours and finally found one…

As I like to try as customization as possible with asp.net, most of the time I ended up with writing a complete javascript mechanism with asp.net. Sometimes those are hacks, but another time I found it very easier to make things happen in asp.net pages. Anyways here’s the link to the blog entry…

WebClinet class in asp.net

I didn’t know WebClient class that much until today.
I did some experiments with that class and found it very useful when you need to update content that Livelink maintains.

Re: Cold Fusion is better…

I took look at http://www.techfeed.net/blog/index.cfm/2006/2/27/ColdFusion-is-better-than. What this author missed out is that first it’s asp tutorial, not asp.net. And 2nd: there’s a validation webcontrol in asp.net which minimizes any possible work for the validation to work.

Check out this site for that: http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webvalidation.aspx

It’s just my 2cents.
