I am using MS AJAX ASP.NET Components (Calendar Extender) and I'm finding this problem.
Some weekdays are not being displayed....
I uploaded a picture so you can view exactly how it is being displayed...
The one on the right (calnder) in the picture is taken from microsoft's sample.
Have you got any idea what is causing this problem?
See screenshot: http://www.sajtkik.com/calendar.jpg
Thanks Alot!
I have seen enough odd behavior when it comes to using MS "Ajax" objects across different browsers, to recommend not using the Calendar object if it can be avoided. There are enough client side (JS) libraries out there for calendars that are significantly better.
Why not try a jQuery calendar?
Looks like that your page CSS affects this calendar markup.
You can use FireBug to see which of the CSS rules produce such effect.
You don't need to know much about javascript to use JQuery. It's more simple than Javascript and just a few lines of code you can use JQuery Calendar on your page.
But of course being good needs some efforts.

I have one solution with web forms approach (soln1) and the other one in MVC 2.0 (soln2). On a page page1.aspx in soln1, I want to render soln2. I used iFrame and in src atribute, I provided starting URL of soln2. Is there any other approach to this? Basically I dont want to use iFrame because of some styling issues.
Thanks
There are three ways (that I can think of) to load one webpage inside another:
IFrame
jquery.load
Frames
Unfortunately all of these options have their problems.
IFrame's can have styling issues as you know.
JQuery's load has compatibility problems with some browsers and an issue with event bubbling.
Frames demands a static layout to your site and probably has the same styling issue for you.
Considering those problems, an IFrame is probably the best choice, it's also specifically intended for the kind of behaviour you're trying to achieve.
Why don't you post about your styling problems, as that might be the easier thing to solve.
Update:
To fix the scroll bars, you can add this attribute to your iframe
scrolling="no"
For an example see here:

i'm not sure how to call that. i'm looking for some samples guiding me how to implement a automatic page extend. i'm mean something like the friends list on facebook. first only a few friends are loaded. after you scroll down, some others get loaded.
thx in advance
The solution to your problem relies more on AJAX then anything else.
I suggest using jQuery Ajax, and here is a nice article that will get you started with calling ASP.NET web services via client side script.
enter link description here
If you don't have experience using ajax this will probably be a lot for you to grasp. Especially if you're going to dive in with a feature like you described above.
Edit: It may be more practical to use a plugin to achieve this:
scrolling jQuery plugin
I am a quite new to web development and I am trying to do some small form updates without causing a postback. For example making a control visible when a drop down list is changed.
I have so far come across some features that achieve this like the RequiredFieldValidator inside an update panels. However, these are specific to a single task.
What are my options to achieve these client side updates in Visual Studio? At the moment I don't know any JavaScript, so I would prefer another solution if it exists.
If you don't know JQuery you should or at least any other Javascript library this will give you an edge and also pump up your resume. The learning curve of these JS frameworks is so short that you'll be creating awesome UI's in no time. I suggest that you take at least two hours to get to know JQuery you won't regret it.
Here's a few great article on using ASP.NET with JQuery:

http://www.dotnetspark.com/kb/1532-gridview-and-jquery-asp-net-tutorial.aspx
http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Using-jQuery-ASP.NET.aspx
Here are a few of the best tutorials on JQuery:

For display functionality like you have described, javascript really is the best solution. Take a look at jQuery, it makes writing javascript a lot easier, and you should be up and running with it in no time for tasks like your basic show/hide functionality.
Unfortunately, AJAX stands for 'Asynchronous Javascript and XML' so getting this behaviour without using Javascript is going to land you in a bit of a pickle.
Update Panels do work and are very easy, but they're also very slow in comparison as even if you only see the contents of your panel update, the entire ASP page has to be executed.
I'd urge you to take a deep breath and head over to JQuery.Com and practise the tutorials there. Javascript is easier then you think and JQuery takes a lot of the hardships of cross-browser compatibility out of the picture, leaving you to focus on the real tasks.
Good Luck!
Is there a built-in control that is close to an application bar at the bottom of Facebook, or is such a function only available through the use of JavaScript/AJAX?
Remember that ASP.NET is server-side, so it controls all processing that takes place before the web page even reaches the user. For functionality like what you're talking about, you need browser-side voodoo like Javascript. So...
Javascript is practically required.
The only other feasible alternative would be Flash.
XML would not be necessary (or even necessarily desirable).
Don't fall into the trap of calling all asynchronous, Javascript-driven behavior "AJAX", because much of it isn't.
I just built something like this in ASP.NET. I recently posted a blog on how to do it. Check out how to build a Facebook Application Bar in ASP.NET.
I used two controls from ComponentOne to help out, the C1Menu control and the C1ToolTip control
I imagine you mean this:

If that's the case, no, it cannot be done with ASP.NET alone. You are correct in assuming it would require javascript, and possibly some AJAX to make those asynchronous calls.
You should look into javascript libraries, such as jQuery & jQuery UI, or MooTools, etc. Those give you a breadth of tools and plugins to create wonderful/dynamic UIs.
http://jquery.com/
(jQuery UI Demos)
http://mootools.net/
(MooTools Demos)
Check out the demos on their pages, to see if those will fit your idea. You can definitely build the core of the menu in ASP.Net, and then use a javascript library to get the dynamic feel that you're looking for.
Hope that helps a little bit.
I chose AjaxToolKit to build a WebForm login. Has anyone else had problems trying to do this? I'm planning to use DropShadow Extender and RoundedCorners with Panels, but this is my first time working with panels.
Please check this link.
I want to put a login panel into something like the screenshot shows, whenever the user clicks a button. This would be similar functionality to what happens on StackOverflow when you try to insert an image or hyperlink in 'ask a question'. Is this possible? How much effort is it?
If you are talking about 100% using ajax control toolkit, check out the ModalPanel example.
You could also go for a javascript library option like iBox, which would be a bit harder to integrate, but not much.
I much prefer doing this manually with javascript and css, if you know what you are doing it is not that hard, if you aren't familiar with those technologies it may take more work. Here is a good post that walks you through the basics
I use AjaxControlToolkit extensively in my application and its really simple.Being server side ajax I does emit a lot of javascript on your page. I suggest you use AJAX only where its required i.e. in cases where a page does lots of things and you want to make it more responsive something like a Dashboard kind of app.
