Draggable widgets for web content - asp.net

How i can create draggable widgets for web content like sitefinity.For example contact form, image slider, page layout,etc.Can you help me about this issue?

Since you are using ASP.NET, why not use the Web Parts controls, which already have this functionality. I know Telerik also has a control for this too. That would be the easiest way, but you could build your own using JQuery draggable/droppable plugins. However, these do not save their state across postbacks.

Adding a textbox and a combobox in a webpage using Django CMS

I've just started using Django CMS so my understanding of the tool is very limited, but I've been trying to do something that I assumed would be very simple, yet, I couldn't find a way of doing it.
I'm currently looking to add some textboxes and comboboxes on a webpage. I couldn't find these controls in the content section of the CMS. There are many choices like buttons, maps, videos, pictures, etc. but I didn't find textbox or combobox. How can I create these?
Thanks!
I downloaded the Aldryn package which seems to do the trick.

Is there any existing web control that permits the entry of both text and images in the manner of

I want to know is if there is any textbox-type web control out there that can approximate Word for simply WYSIWYG editing?
I am NOT talking about so-called HTML or Rich Text controls. (In fact I'd prefer if the users didn't play with colors and font sizes.)
What I need is a control that allows a non-technical user to intutively copy images and paste them in without having to fiddle with HTML tags.
Is this even possible in current web technology?
take a look at the HtmlEditorExtender, from asp.net ajax controls can be very simple, and easy to add to your asp.net project.
The full project: http://ajaxcontroltoolkit.codeplex.com/
You can use CKEditor. You can then customize it so that the options you don't want to show up (color, font size, html editing) don't show up. Otherwise there is no built-in .net control to accomplish this.

Alternative to fancybox?

The site I am working on was using a fancybox to display checkboxes and such so that an admin can easily add more items to a specific product. After messing with it for way too long, I have to scrap that fancybox, but now that the page is broken, I'm not sure what to do. The checkboxes that were displayed are in such a large quantity that using collapsible divs would just make the page a huge mess.
Is there a different modal pop-up that might work better than fancybox? I read that modals just don't work with ASP and that is what I am using for this site. ASP.net 4.0 using VB. If anyone has ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them. I'm struggling with where to take this project now.
There are hundreds of jQuery plugins with modal windows and close functionality. For example check this . I personally use colorbox

AJAX form editing and design

I want to build into mt ASP.NET application the ability for users to fill up forms, but the forms are not something I can hard-code into my (Enterprise) software.
So I need one screen that lets end users create the forms. Doing it the 2.0 way, I just love what PollDaddy did in their survey editor (great job guys!). How do I replicate that? (don't worry pollDaddy, my app has nothing to do with survey and I am not at all in your domain (-: )
Since you need to login to the site to play with it, I made a 20 sec video of how it looks like. Please see below and tell me how to best replicate this (as simple as using JQuery tip? use an entire open source project? Buy something?)
Requirements are:
support multiple types of elements (like multiple choice, free text, comboBox)
drag and drop
editing of order
click image for video or here

The AJAX control toolkit is free and would work for some of this items shown in the video. However, JQuery has tons of plugins it is easy to extend and even easier to use. I would suggest starting there and extending it where needed.
Good Luck
You could build it yourself using an AJAX framework like ASP.NET AJAX or even telerik controls. You could use jQuery but ASP.NET AJAX is free and embeds well with ASP.NET pages. You could buy something, but I've yet to encounter packages as such.

Embed a website/page into Silverlight

Yes that sounds backwards. I want to create an area or frame in my Silverlight app to host another page from my site. I've seen it done before but I can't seem to find any examples.
This way I can control the entire page layout using SL but still use existing aspx pages.
thanks
Yes, it can be done and its quite easy to do. I plan on blogging about my HtmlBrowser control and posting the source. The basics are to make sure the Silverlight control is hosted with the isWindowless parameter enabled and then you can at runtime through the HtmlPage class create an IFRAME element and set the src attribute to the HTML page location. The fun part is getting the sizing right, but its not too difficult.
Follow my blog http://craign.net/ over the next couple of days as I'll post my control.
Will frame break out code break out or not when using this technique.
