I created a set of easy to use linked list controls that update on the client without a postback. All of the data for the lists are downloaded when the page loads. The only requirements to get the full feature set is a DataSet with DataRelations as the DataSource, and setting a ParentListID property in the controls. The ParentListID is very easy to set. The property dialog lists all compatible controls on the page. Just pick the one that will hold the parent data from the DataSet... Read More

After posting Cropper and getting to work I realized it was not capturing images from the non-primary monitor in a multi-monitor setup. That issue has been resolved and it should now capture correctly on any monitor configuration. I tested on reverse (negative X position), vertical, and 4 monitor setups... Read More

I saw Jeff's post about his updated ruler this weekend. It's a nice tool. I immediately started using it to measure some screen comps over the weekend. Moving it around the screen and seeing the images below it made me think, "It would be nice to crop these out while I'm measuring them". I took some of his UI code, made a few changes and tweaks, added the screen capture code, and cropper was born... Read More
