Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

Hot on the heels of the Atlas July CTP, we're proud to announce the availability of the latest update to the Atlas Control Toolkit.  We've now got 21 controls with more on the way!

We've added some cool new stuff to the Toolkit, and I'm excited to note that this release includes our first non-Microsoft contributed components, the PasswordStrengthExtender by Paul Glavich, and the FilteredTextBox by Christian Wenz!  We're definitely looking forward to future releases with more great community updates and additions like these!

We also had the good fortune to inherit the help of Pierre LaGarde, who works for Microsoft in France but did a month of work here on the Redmond campus over the summer and added some great controls as well: RatingControl, NumericUpDown, and PagingBulletedList.

There's also a fair amount of infrastructure work and bug-fixing that's been done as well.  We've gotten lots of great feedback from the community and are trying to address as many of those issues as we can.

Technically, we did a release in June (containing the Atlas June CTP) but discovered an issue with the Atlas bits, so we kind of kept it quiet until the Atlas fix came out, which now it has.

So download it, check out the new controls, ask questions, or report issues if you find them!

# re: Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

Hi Shawn,

Great work.

One thing that suprises me is that your team has not built a standard Tab control.  Even in the early days of .NET 1 back in 2002, Microsoft release a really nice IE only ASP.NET toolkit that provided tabbed panels and did everything using DHTML and Javascript.  On any other browser it fell back to postbacks, so still worked but did not use DHTML.

The Accordian control is great; but surely the ability to have a Tab or TabbedPanels control would be more useseful?

# re: Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

We've considered it.  I'd love to have someone from the community step up and help contribute with a control like this.

Hi Shawn,

I posted this in Scott's blog, but you should probably have it?

Hi Scott,

One of the techniques often used to get around the browser HTTP connection limit of 2 concurrent connections is to use multiple subdomains:

a.mydomain.com
b.mydomain.com
c.mydomain.com

Now we can have 6 connections back to the server.  

This is particularly important for AJAX apps doing a lot of chatty stuff, which quite frankly the current HTTP standard was not written considering this usage.

Some of the new controls, such as the AtlasControlToolkit DynamicPopulate control do allow you to hit the server multiple times concurrently (unlike most of the controls which are limited due to the ASP.NET page lifecycle requirement of synchronous request to preserve viewstate, etc).

I thought I might be able to do what I describe above using the DynamicPopulate control and specifying the full URL (including different subdomains) via the ServicePath attribute.

However it appears that when the URL specified is different that the exact URL the user used to browse to the site, an error occurs.  Note this is not a web server level error, so must be something wrong with either Atlas networking stack or AtlasControlToolkit?  

Please pass this onto the Atlas team as they should consider this when building Atlas.

Thanks

David

# re: Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

Please file any issues at www.codeplex.com and we'll look at them.  If you include a simple project/ASPX page that demonstrates your problem, it's much more likely that we'll be able to address it.  Thanks!

# re: Announcing the Atlas Control Toolkit July Update

David - here's what the Atlas guys came back with, hope it helps:

"If I had to guess, assuming the iframeexecutor is enabled, I'm guessing he just needs to add the WebOperation attribute to his web methods on the server side:         [WebOperation(true /*getVerbEnabled*/, ResponseFormatMode.Json, true /*safeForCrossDomain*/)]"
