The company I work for uses an ASP.NET grid component from a commercial vendor, but won't upgrade the buggy old version we have to a newer version because of cost. Are there open-source alternatives to these Uber-Grids that we could take advantage of?
I'm specifically looking for hierarchical drill-down capabilities. I know there are some Javascript library plugins (stuff for jquery UI, etc) that could be used, but I would prefer a server-side control given the current coding conventions at my employer (server-side controls whenever possible, javascript when nothing else will work :-P )
Grid Wrapper Control using ExtJS http://www.codeplex.com/ExtJsExtenderControl
Check out the DEMO page for the grouping feature, not sure how many levels you can go in though.
Try this opensource project that extends ASP.NET GridView : http://johnsobrepena.blogspot.com/2010/01/coolgridview-new-release-resizable.html

I have an upcoming project at work to develop reports displayed in a web page. I've been pointed to SSRS (or possibly Power BI) to build them but I don't really see the point of using it instead of just using web services to send data out to a Javascript front end.
The requirements include:
Sort the data
Filter the data
Group the data
Hide/Show columns
Save user preferences
Output to other formats (.pdf, .xslx)
I haven't worked with SSRS much so maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that we'd have more flexibility in the look/feel of the page, the functionality, and how the data is loaded if we ignored SSRS and rolled our own with little extra effort.
What exactly would be the advantage of using SSRS in this case? Am I right to want to architect my own solution from scratch?
What exactly would be the advantage of using SSRS in this case?
It's mostly that you wouldn't have to build and maintain the content in custom HTML and JavaScript. It's a typical build/buy tradeoff, and one that's often driven by the desire to have a high velocity of change, and to enable single person, and perhaps even a non-developer, create or maintain the reports.
Also .pdf and .xslx rendering are non-trivial, and typically require separate design and layout.

Is there a way to use CSS outside of the browser? Let's say I wanted to use it on creating desktop apps for Windows, Mac OSX or any other operating system.
Yes CSS is Often Used Outside of a Browser
Yes. When people develop with apps such as React, we use CSS and SCSS just like you would on a webpage.
Below is a sample of using CSS with React using JavaScript
Your question is very unspecific regarding e.g. the programming language you want to use. There are a lot of frameworks out there used to create desktop frontends. Some of them also use CSS-like notation to define their look, such as JavaFx.
But if your target is to create a webpage that runs in both browser and as native desktop app, I guess the best way is to run a browser engine inside your app.
Edit to answer your comment: It's not dependent on the programming language but related to the framework you use. Every framework works a bit differently here but some use the CSS notation. But as StackOverflow is not the place to ask for a list of frameworks I would recommend you to do some research on your own.

I'm looking for a tool to do some automated GUI testing on a HTML5 canvas component we're developing. Basically I'm looking for a tool that is able to record the clicks and events on the canvas component and is able to replay those events.
So far most of the testing tools like Telerik WebUI Testing Suite, Selenium, TestSwarm, qUnit, Jasmine, Hudson seems that they don't fully support HTML5 canvas testing.
Would you guys know a testing tool that already supports that? If not, would you know how companies are doing automated testing of HTML5 canvas?
In Telerik Test Studio latest release, we have added support for many of the HTML5 tags like Canvas, Audio and Video tags. All the HTML tags are accessible using code and are under the:
ArtOfTest.WebAii.HtmlControls namespace. You will find HTML5 controls like:
HtmlCanvas, HtmlAudio, HtmlVideo, HtmlMeter and all the expanded HtmlInput types like HtmlInputEmail, HtmlInputSearch..etc.
For the HtmlCanvas, you actually have access to the 2D Context of the control. So you even manipulate it and can do things like:
HtmlCanvas.Context2dRotate(), HtmlCanvas.Context2dTransform()...etc.

Does anyone know of a good .Net2.0+ compatible dual listbox control that either offers dragging and dropping between lists, or simple buttons to move items between lists and also sort the items in a particulr list. This is for a web based app and I would prefer some nice javascript to make this one speedy.
I decided to write my own drag and drop list control for this one using JQuery and JQuery UI. You can try out a sample here: demo. The right side sort list will scroll down if the left list is too long thus making it easier to drag and drop. I still have more testing and a few bug fixes on this one, but it seems to be working pretty well.
Perhaps this answers your question?
From that post the infinity links to meadmiracle for a jQuery implementation and a demo. I personally don't like the horizontal layout of the buttons though although I'm sure that could be fixed pretty easily.
Also I've found this jQuery multi selection control interesting over on the UX Stack-Exchange.

I'm currently attempting to create a tabbed interface in a web application, and based on my search, there aren't any 'built in' tab controls in ASP.NET. There are some in the ASP.NET AJAX downloadable toolkit, as well as a wealth of 'pay for use' third party Tab Controls.
My question is: What Tab control have you used for ASP.NET applications, and why do you use it?
You can use MultiView/Views and your own navigation to get tabs in ASP.NET.
I've used the AJAX TabControl in the past and I like it. It's pretty straight forward. It's easy enough to get to the active tab and its content.
I have used the Rad TabStrip control by Telerik and it is one of the best to work with in my opinion.
We use multiviews most of the time, or, in some cases, we build our own tab controls out of a combination of link buttons and overlapping panels and swap their visibilities based on what link button has been pressed (this may seem primative, but it works well).
