Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), a W3C graphics standard built around XML, is one of several vector graphics technologies that allows fast, lightweight drawings such as charts and graphs to be rendered on the fly in an appropriate viewer. There are many advantages to such vector graphics, including conservation of bandwidth and storage media, and flexibility. This article explains these benefits and shows you how to easily add powerful, dynamic, interactive visual elements to your Web applications.

Building a basic, reusable application framework can make development quicker and easier. This allows you to focus more on the problems at hand and less on the repetitive tasks involved in building any application. In this article, the author presents a framework that provides facilities to access the registry and an extensible framework for logging messages to a console window or the Event Viewer. This reusable framework can be included as a library in your projects, allowing you to display an enhanced, color-coded message log and dynamically change logging levels.

One of the most significant features of ADO.NET is its integration with XML. Developers can either use an ADO-like API to access the data or work directly with an XML representation of the data. This article demonstrates how both of these techniques can be used together to create Web applications that take advantage of XML standards such as XSLT. The example presented here is a bug tracking application built using C# and the.NET Framework. The development of the application covers several topics including data access using ADO.NET, the presentation of data using XSLT stylesheets, and the integration of ADO.NET with the .NET XML Framework.

hi.

i want to Create MultiLevel subMenu With this code

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ToolboxData("<{0}:Menubar runat=server>/{0}:Menubar>")] 
    [System.ComponentModel.DesignTimeVisible(false)] 
    public class Menubar : WebControl, IPostBackEventHandler 
    { 
 
        private List<MenuItem> _menuItems = new List<MenuItem>(); 
        [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] 
        public List<MenuItem> MenuItems 
        { 
            get 
            {

    } 
    [ToolboxItem(false)] 
    [ParseChildren(true, "MenuItems")] 
    public class MenuItem 
    { 
        private string _clientClick; 
        private List<MenuItem> _menuItems = new List<MenuItem>(); 
 
        [Localizable(true)] 
        public string Title { get; set; } 
        public string Href { get; set; } 
        public string Id { get; set; } 
        [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)] 
        public List<MenuItem> MenuItems 
        { 
            get { return _menuItems; }

I am using asp.net Menu control with sitemap datasource. There is one Web.sitemap in the folder where links are saved in such a manner

<siteMapNode url="~/MainMenu.aspx" title="Software Development Solutions" description="Software Development Solutions" >

      <siteMapNode url="~/submenu.aspx" title="CRM Software Application Development" description="CRM Software Application Development" />

     <siteMapNode url="~/submenu.aspx" title="CRM Software Application Development" description="CRM Software Application Development" />
<siteMapNode url="~/submenu.aspx" title="CRM Software Application Development" description="CRM Software Application Development" />

    <siteMapNode/>

One asp.net page as i m using asp.net menu control. i want when MainMenu is clicked all the sub links of that menu should be come in the left side of the page.

i know this must be simple but not sure of how to get this done.

i need a border that is transparent around a level of submenu for a asp menu control(not around each of the sub menu item) similar to this.

and also the inside menu should have two layers of submenu if it is too long..

How can i do this.. Its really urgent..

The title pretty much states the question.  I have a menu inside my asp.net master page.  This menu pulls from  a web.sitemap file.  I have a css file that formats the individual nodes.  However, I want to format the menu headers a certain way while the submenu's are different.  Namely, I want to put a small image before all the submenu points while not the main sitemapnodes.  So far, I can use css to put the image infront of every node.  But I haven't been able to differentiate between the nodes.  The main node has a blank URL instance.  I thought I could use that in the C# code but I haven't been able to .  Could someone give me a link or show some code on how to do this?  Thanks.

Hi

I have a set of tables such as: songs, genre. The songs table has a foreign key (GenreID) from the genre table. I am trying to set up a menu in one content placeholder using a gridview and hyperlinks to open a listview of the corresponding songs  list in another content placeholder. Sort of like with the example using a list of tables opening up a specific table in the Dynamic Data Walkthrough. I have been struggling with this for days and seem to be going in circles.

Here is the code in the first gridview:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="menuContent" runat="server">
                            <asp:DynamicDataManager ID="DynamicDataManager1" runat="server" >
                            <DataControls>
                                <asp:DataControlReference ControlID="GridView_Genre" />
       

I'm trying to create a general build environment for multiple projects that can take a some command line parameters and execute a build based on a custom config file.

The problem I am having is after I read in the config parameters with MSBuild.Community.Tasks XMLQuery, which works fine, I can't get aspnet_complier to see these parameters.

I keep getting "error MSB3462: Either MetabasePath or VirtualPath must be specified."
