Searching an open source RSS component, any suggestions? - rss

I am searching an open source RSS component to use in my project (.Net 3.5, C#). I have found ASP.Net RSS toolkit: http://aspnetrsstoolkit.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=3674. Do you know about advantages and disadvantages of the component? Could you suggest a better open source RSS component, if yes, what are pros and cons of the suggested component?
Thanks a lot.

There's also the Argotic Syndication Framework. I'd probably opt for that one over the one you named, but both should do what you need.

Adding Funscript to an existing ASP.NET MVC project

I really like the FunScript's idea of writing F# instead of Javascript, but I cannot find any samples on how to integrate FunScript int an existing ASP.NET MVC solution.
Is it even possible? A "real-world example" would be really useful.
Igor, you can check out the blog post that I have written and the solution that accompanies on it on Github.
http://namelessinteractive.com/FullStackFSharpLongVersion_Part1
Essentially it is an MVC application with FunScript integration.
F# is for server not for the Client
so i think use f# is not a good idea
if you do not like Javascript
use TypeScript is a good idea

Multilanguage website in ASP.NET

Me and my friend are going to build a multilanguage website and we were discussing
what the best way is to support the multiple languages.
My opinion was to use PO files to easily edit the language files.
But my friend wants to use te resource files in visual studio.
So I want to ask, what's the best way ?
Thanks in advance.
Both are valid ways to do it.
If you are going to be using GTK# as your widget set, then PO files are a good way forward.
If you are going to be using Winforms/WPF/Webforms/MVC, then resource files/satellite assemblies files are a good way forward. Additionally, if you are using visual studio it has great support for this kind of localization.
I have no idea what a PO file is.
However, .Net has pretty good built in support for multilingual resource files. I'd go that route.

Is there any analog of ASP.NET master page in pure JSP?

Pls give a link with sample if possible
Sorry, didn't read your question properly.
The answer would be: no.
But, if you can use JSF, Facelets templates are pretty similar to ASP.NET master pages.
According to this article, JSP does not have an equivalent technology:
Although various JSF IDEs offer page
templating to a certain extent such as
IBM page templating, there is not yet
a uniform easy way to build page
templates such as how you use
Microsoft "Master Page" templating
technology.
No, not really. Here is an idea of how you might put one together that sort of works like ASP.NET.
ASP.NET master page is a templating technology. JSP itself is already less or more a templating technology. There's under each the <jsp:include> tag to include templates. You can use it dynamically with EL, but it is however not very advanced/enhanced. Facelets has brought changes in it.
JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM) technology, previously used as the presentation technology for JavaServer Faces, does not support all of the new features available in JavaServer Faces 2.0. JSP is considered as a deprecated presentation technology for JavaServer Faces 2.0.
On Facelets you can use JSF, which is a component based MVC framework like ASP.NET MVC.
Alternatives outside the Java EE API are Apache Tapestry and Apache Tiles.

Batch file uploading with a flashplayer dialog

I'm currently looking at ways to allow people to select multiple files at once to batch upload images. I'm evaluating these options for my ASP.NET web app:
YUI Uploader
Flajaxian
SWFUpload
Dojo Toolkit Multi file uploader
I'm leaning toward YUI because the documentation is clear and I basically already wrote the file uploaders and thumbnailers which Flajaxian provides, the javascript seems more compact too. I can't even begin evaluating Dojo because it's unclear to me how to get the parts that would integrate with .NET out of the PHP examples.
Has anyone had really good or really bad experiences with any of these?
SWFUploader seems to be the best option here. Compact, stylable with CSS, open source on code.google.com .
Thanks for everyone's opinion but I ended up using YUI Uploader because that's what flickr uses and the project spec was basically an analysis of flickr's features.
The experience of using it was essentially excellent, and being able to compare it to what flickr did was also helpful.
Look at this one too. It's free.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/FlashUpload.aspx
I'm using it in an application I'm developing for uploading multiple music files. The author provides the source code as a VS 2008 project and the source Flash/Flex file. Works like a charm.

ASP.NET common controls source code

Is there a source code readily available for commonly used controls (say found in the toolbox) for ASP.NET 2.0?
The level of detail that I want its that I need to know the internal workings of the control.
Yes, Microsoft has actually released the Source code for the System.Web assembly, amongst others.
It is intended to make it possible to debug the built-in classes, so you as a developer have a better chance of understanding why a specific class behaves as it does. You can make Visual Studio download the source on-the-fly, when you try to step-in to a function with the debugger.
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/10/03/releasing-the-source-code-for-the-net-framework-libraries.aspx
If you would like to read / browse the source code; you can also download it all using the NetMassDownloader project from CodePlex.
ASP.NET QuickStart Tutorials best fit for your needs.
Here you can access : Standart Toolbox Control Tutorials
EDIT : You edited your post to get resource for inner workings of server components.
Here is my another suggestion : Nikhil Kothari's Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Server Controls and Components is the best resource on components and inner workings.

The quick way to look at the source code of controls or any other class libraries is to use disassembler, for example .NET Reflector link text
They are all documented on MSDN. Get started at the ASP.NET Developer Center, and at http://asp.net.
