AJAX books

Hello,I'm totally new to AJAX.Can any body plz help me by providing any free e-books sites where I can find books on AJAX with reference to ASP.NET2.0 ??

Plz HELP....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always used Amazon.com

You can search a book, check the user ratings, check total ratings and find the book you.

You can also check Barnes and Noble..

In my opinion, you dont a book to start with AJAX. There are plenty of web sites and plenty of videos to get you started.

http://www.asp.net/learn/

Once you get to know the basics, then you can start looking for a book.

Thats just my opinion.

Hi Brvaland,

brvaland:

Is it possible to adjust height automatically?

Do you mean manually adjust the height property?(The Control will automatically control its height property)

If yes , please add this code to your page.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function pageLoad(){
$find("myACEBID").add_shown(reAdjustHeight);
}
function reAdjustHeight(){
$get($find("myACEBID")._completionListElementID).style.height = "120px"
}
</script>

Best regards,

Ajax And Web Reference

hi

is it possible to refer by web service to my ajax control library component AutoCompleteExtender1, if i add asmx page directly to project solution i'm able to give the service path and service method to this component.

i have a separate web service running which is communicating with my SQL Server 2000

so in my solution i added the webservice using add App_WebReferences, sohow to assign my service path and service method to the extender.

thanks in advance.

happy dotnetting.

bye

Hi jags,

It isn't possible to connect to an external webservice. So one solution is. Create a webservice (WebserviceA) within your solution where your website resides. In the code for WebserviceA you make a connection (webreference like you are used to) to WebserviceB (which is outside your domain). Al the requests that are going to webserviceA are passed through to webserviceB which will return the value to webserviceA and webserviceA will return it to your browser. Hope this helps!

Regards,

thanks dennis, i'll be travelling for the next few days.i'll try this and will get back to you at the earliest.

AJAX Accordian and asp:DataList incompatability

I am new to AJAX. and am trying to nest an asp:DataList into an accordian tag. When I try to run the show I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" which tells me that the code in my VB file can't see the DataList.

Can anyone shed some light on this matter please.

Thanks

Can you post this part of code where exception is thrown?

Thanks you for the help offer Here is the code. You may be wondering about the <cc1:AccordionPane (I think it's new in the ajaxtoolkit) which used to be <ajaxtoolkit:AccordionPane - I was also wondering about that, but it works under conditions where the HTML between the tags does not need to be populated from code.

1 <cc1:AccordionPane ID="AccordionPane2" runat="server">2 <Header>3 <a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=" onclick="return false;" class="accordionLink">Contact Detail</a>4 </Header>5 <Content>6 <asp:DataList ID="ProDetail" runat="server">7 <ItemTemplate>8 <table border="0" width="430" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">9 <tr>10 <td colspan="3" width="270" bgcolor="WhiteSmoke" align="left">11 <font color="blue" face="Verdana" size="2">Contact Person  <font color="red"12 face="Verdana" size="2">13<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ContactPerson")%>14 </font>15 </td>16 <td width="150" bgcolor="WhiteSmoke">17 </td>18 </tr>19 <tr>20 <td align="left">21 <font size="2" color="#333399">Tel</font>22 </td>23 <td>24 <font face="Arial" size="2">25<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Tel")%>26 </font>27 </td>28 <td align="left">29 <font size="2" color="#333399">Cell</font>30 </td>31 <td>32 <font face="Arial" size="2">33<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Cell")%>34 </font>35 </td>36 </tr>37 <tr>38 <td align="left">39 <font size="2" color="#333399">Street 1</font>40 </td>41 <td>42 <font face="Arial" size="2">43<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Street1")%>44 </font>45 </td>46 <td align="left">47 <font size="2" color="#333399">Street 2</font>48 </td>49 <td>50 <font face="Arial" size="2">51<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Street2")%>52 </font>53 </td>54 </tr>55 <tr>56 <td align="left">57 <font size="2" color="#333399">City</font>58 </td>59 <td>60 <font face="Arial" size="2">61<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "City")%>62 </font>63 </td>64 <td align="left">65 <font size="2" color="#333399">Web Site</font>66 </td>67 <td>68 <font face="Arial" size="2">69<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Website")%>70 </font>71 </td>72 </tr>73 </table>74 </ItemTemplate>75 </asp:DataList>76 </Content>77 </cc1:AccordionPane>

Hi,

From the code I assume that you manually assign DataSource property and call DataBind() method. It happens that at this time AccordionPane has not instantiated its templates yet. You need to force it create your controls in templates. The easiest way to do it so to search for some control in the pane.

Try adding

AccordionPane2.FindControl("nothing");

immediately before you access your DataList control to make data binding.

(you can try adding this AccordionPane2.FindControl("nothing"); as the first line of you Page_Load as well).
