Some Useful Links from the ASP.NET Ajax Forums

Hi ,

Over the past couple of months, I have been actively contributing to the Asp.net Ajax forums and have come across some very

weird and challenging problems to solve.Anyone who's been at the forums can tell, the community is VERY Active and helpful when it comes to helping

out your fellow developer . Below is a list of some FAQs that I often encountered and was able to address on the Forums .

Helping someone out with a brain-bender they are stuck on and seeing the issue resolved after some brainstorming is VERY satisfying.

Why am I doing this ?

There is a lot of content on the Forums and I wanna share what I learnt and was able to share with my fellow devs.

Also, I could have blogged about this but felt that its better to point you guys to the place where we learnt about this .

You might find some content duplicated from my Blog , as far as possible I have tried to avoid that and give you guys the unique ones that I have seen.

As time goes by , I will be putting up another list of issues that I helped on ,

these are the unique ( sort-of ) ones that I could find out of all the ones that I answered .

If you are not a part of the Forums , get yourself an account and start helping out !

Hope this helps someone out there !

Show and Hide ModalPopupExtender from JavaScript

1) Assign a BehaviourID to the ModalPopupExtender using the BehaviourID attribute.

BehaviorID ="ModalBehaviour"

2) Use the $find method to get a handle to the Modal Popup Behaviour .

$find ("ModalBehaviour").

3) Call your hide and show methods on the acquired handle.

4) The Javascript would look like this.

<script language="javascript"> 

function ShowModalPopup() 
{
  $find("ModalBehaviour").show(); 
}

function HideModalPopup() 
{
 $find("ModalBehaviour").hide(); 
}

</script>

With Great Power comes Great Response.write("Ability") : ModalPopupExtender
