  11. Hi Omar
    I just found your entry about UFrame and I think it’s what I need.
    I have a little project with a master page with a menu and the typical content place holder. From that menu I load aspx pages in the content place holder, but this, every time I click another menu, it reloads the whole master page and the corresponding page.
    I use a lot of jquery in this content pages with jquery dialog. In this case, the dialog centers ok on the screen and disable ok all client screen.
    I changed that content by an iFrame to avoid the whole page reload, but now the dialog centers on the content area and disable only this part too.
    I read your documentation about the UFrame, and there you say that with this, the new page is added to the parent page. Does this work with ASP.NET master pages? or I should change the master page to an aspx page with UFrame?
    I hope this be clear enough and I hope you could help me.

    Thank you in advance.

  12. Thank you Omar for your answer.
    One last question: can I use load methos to chande the source of the UFrame? Is this the correct way to do this?

    Again, thank you in advance.

  13. I would like to get some custom solutions built on top of droptiles to suit our need. I am almost ready to buy license or pay for charity if I get some custom requirements met. Will you please be able to work with me on this? It may take only couple of hours of your time or provide someone offshore that I can work with.

    Outstanding work as always.

  15. We have migrated our visual studio 2002 applicaiton to visual studio 2012. After sending new application dll everuthing work fine, but when an existing ascx file is resent the web site become unresponsive and there is anything in the event log. The server has windows 2003 small business server with iis 6 installed. There is only an eventlog which says “ISAPI ‘d:windowsmicrosoft.netframeworkv4.0.30319aspnet_isapi.dll’ reported itself as unhealthy for the following reason: ‘Deadlock detected’. We can not find any reason. Please suggest anything…

  16. Hi Omar,

    I am Pratik Amin, an Author Relationship Executive at Packt Publishing. We have recently come up with a title Windows Server 8 Handbook and we are now searching for prospective author to develop the book.

    This book will be a practical handbook explaining how to work with Windows 8 server with all new features. A realistic guide to planning, design, prototyping, implementation, migration, administration, and support.

    I was flattered reading through your website and wondered whether you might be interested in this project?

    Thanks for considering this proposal.

    Do let me know your views.

  21. Dear Brother,

    This is Shafiq, your countryman from Dhaka. ” I’ll be software eng./web developer” it was my childhood dream but now for bread and butter I am working as Merchandiser in a Buying House.

    But still my dreams are always bite me, hammer me, ” What r u doing, wake up, do what you like”
    But a deep darkness I see when I try to awake up.

    Would you kind enough to show me a way like a pathfinder?

    Awaiting for your kind and positive reply.

    Thanks
    Shafiq

  27. Omar,

    I would like to open an opportunity to discuss commercially incorporating your “droptiles.js” toolset and capabilities into US based federal and government-based solutions. If possible, I’d appreciate you time to schedule opening a dialog to determine a way ahead to purchase (besides paypal) and establish a hardened solution that may be necessary for use within this environment.

    Thanks,

  28. Dear Omar

    Excellent job on the Droptiles software. I work for PADI and we are interested in licensing it for use on our social networking site, ScubaEarth.com. Please let me know your contact information so we can discuss this opportunity.

    Thank you,

    Jay

  30. Dear Omar,

    We are an orphan charity in Iraq and we have looking to revamp our website http://www.iraqiorphanfoundation.org and we found your framework dropthings and would like to use it. We have been trained on asp.net mvc and we would like to know whether there is an mvc version of your dropthings platform available?

    We thank you in advance.

    Haider

    1. Hi Haider, I am afraid I do not have an MVC version yet. But if you are talking about droptiles, then it uses almost nothing from server side. It is 98% client side Javascript based. So, you can easily convert the aspx version to MVC version.

  32. Hi Omar,

    Earlier you have explained about Faster page rendering using Flush() method in ASP.net MVC, can you tell me how to do using ASP.net web forms.
    Thanks in advance.

  33. Hi Omar,

    Earlier you posted an articles for Fast Page Rendering using Flush() in asp.net MVC, can you help me out how it can be done in ASP.net web forms.

    Thanks in Advance

  34. Hi Omar,

    I was taking a look at your Droptiles project on Github and was wondering if there was a way to make a website using that layout, instead of a dashboard. I tried playing around with your code but wasn’t able to get the tiles to display when I removed the login features. Any advice on how to approach this?

    Thanks in advance!
