Using HTML5 Geolocation API in ASP.NET Application

Using HTML5 Geolocation API in ASP.NET Application

Using HTML5 Geolocation API in ASP.NET Application

Posted: 17 Oct 2011 05:54 AM PDT

This is the third in the series of posts I am doing on HTML5 for ASP.NET Developers Geolocation is one of the popular features of HTML5 that's being touted as a favorite for building location aware applications. It helps to a great extent not just for Web Applications that run on PCs, but also for Web Applications that run on Devices. Since browser on the phone is no longer a rare thing, it always helps to identify the location of the user carrying the phone and build applications that cater to the specific geo (example: providing deals available nearby etc.,) The actual call required for our sample is quite simple. Geolocation works only on IE9 and above. So, if you haven't installed already, you can download and install IE9 from here For the...(read more)

HTML5 Markup Enhancements for ASP.NET

Posted: 17 Oct 2011 02:16 AM PDT

This would be the first in the series of posts I plan to do for HTML5 for ASP.NET Developers The first thing that everyone would have experienced is the HTML5 header tag. The regular header tag that Visual Studio creates for ASP.NET Webforms is <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" > This would be the header tag present in the Master Page or the actual ASPX Page when you don't inherit from a Master Page. Till HTML5 specifications started momentum, the general DOCTYPE was this lengthy and makes it hard to really remember. It also indicates a bit of versioning to HTML. With HTML5, the header changes simply to <!DOCTYPE html> You would notice...(read more)

HTML5 for ASP.NET Developers

Posted: 17 Oct 2011 12:22 AM PDT

HTML5 for ASP.NET Developers is my attempt to learn HTML5 myself being an ASP.NET Developer. I am planning to post a series of posts on how ASP.NET Developers can leverage some of the HTML5 features in their applications. To begin with, I plan to post a few samples on the following 1. Markup Enhancements that every ASP.NET Developer should know 2. Using HTML5 Geolocation API 3. Using HTML5 Drag and drop feature for File Upload And few other things (I will update the above links as and when I get more posts) In the meantime, it doesn't need more reiteration that HTML5 is a critical learning for every web developer be it you work on ASP.NET or PHP for web development. Cheers !!! Read More......(read more)

The Dangers of Implementing Recurring Background Tasks In ASP.NET

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 06:07 PM PDT

I like to live life on the wild side. No, I don't base jump off of buildings or invest in speculative tranches made up of junk stock derivatives. What I do is attempt to run recurring background tasks within an ASP.NET application. Writing code is totally just like this - Photo by DVIDSHUB – CC BY 2.0 But before I do anything wild with ASP.NET, I always talk to my colleague, Levi (sadly, no blog). As a developer on the internals of ASP.NET, he knows a huge amount about it, especially the potential pitfalls. He's also quite the security guru. As you read this sentence, he just guessed your passwords. All of them. When he got wind of my plan, he let me know it was evil, unsupported by ASP.NET and just might kill a cat. Good thing I'm a dog person...(read more)
