From a tutorial on building an RSS SAX parser on my website:

libNog is a 9k library to provide somewhat easier browser-independence. It is not yet complete, and will be continuously revised. It grew from this snippet, and is still growing as I find things I use often.
Presently, libNog features:

A way to browser-independently get an XMLHttpRequest object.
A set of simple methods for GET, POST, HEAD, and to include other Scripts.
Simple methods for className control
A completely abstracted form of getElement*
Browser-independent methods for attaching and detaching event handlers
An event-normalization routine
A simple one-command 'Stop the Event' routine
And the big one: A simplified Class object by which classes can be built in JavaScript.

This routine will get an image stored in a SQL database (IBM Informix shown here) as a BLOB and return it to the screen.

To place this on an HTML page simply add

I have an MD5 hashed version as well, but can't share that...(So you can have encrypted id's passed)

Have fun,

The easiest way to give columns in a DataGrid the look you want is to use a DataGridTableStyle and to add a GridColumnStyle for each column in the grid.

This is a brief revision to my previous snippet. It is still what it was: a small, simple system for using XMLHttpRequest without using globals.

I'll put the API spec in the code this time, so as not to clutter the front page further.

Changes:

Changed name to HTTPRequest (far more accurate)
Added HEAD requests
Shortened code by making a GenericRequest function
Used a better method for getting an XMLHttpRequest object (checks multiple MS versions and implements the latest one)

This is a simple script to provide basic cross-platform XML request functionality in Javascript. It's meant to be the core component in any AJAX style framework. It is not an instantiable object, but instead is a namespaced microlibrary.

Calling is easy:
XMLRequest.GET(uri, query, callback, fallback)
uri: The location you're after
query: an associative array of form data to provide via the URL
callback: callback function of the form myCallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon successful (response = 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data
fallback: myFallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon failed (response != 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data.

XMLRequest.POST(uri, query, form, callback, fallback)
Similar, but does the query using the POST method. 'query' is the URL-appended data, still in associative array form, and 'form' is the same for the POST data.

This code illustrates using ruby REXML package. It converts J2EE web application deployment descriptor web.xml into Freemind mindmap document.

Implementation-independent XML builder.

This function converts a CSV file to a simple XML file.

I've seen XML 2 Array functions done in other ways but this is the shortest implementation I've seen yet. I didnt write it myself though, but I thought I'd submit it for common good of this site. It uses regex and works prefectly.

Description:
Call one of the overloaded functions and a you will have a randomly generated password.

Generate() - Will generate a password 13 or (more/less) characters in length ranging from A-Z a-z 0-9 and other characters such as @ # %... etc.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer)
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char) - Allows you to set your ASCII range if you wish not to include number for example.

Generate(ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate() buts characters passed in the array will not be used to generate the password.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer, ByVal ExcludeValues As String())
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char, ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer) & Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char), but allows you to also exclude characters that you do not wish the generator to use.



UPDATE
03/06/2006: Included use of Phill64's TrueRandom2 class for generating random numbers. Also overloaded the constructor so that a length can be set for the password, if the length is not set the default is set to 13.

This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

Returns a percentage. There are 3 arguments.

1. complete - How much is done?
2. total - How much is there?
3. maxPercentage - Total percentage possible, usually 100.

Simple, yep.

Loading and Saving an ArrayList to/from any given path.

An all in one function that formats a given file's Size from bytes to gB.

Have you ever tried to use Color.Blue.ToString and gotten undesired results?
Or have you ever tried to save a color to an INI and not be able to reproduce it the next time around?

The methods below will help you in your conquest of converting the Color structure to HTML (#FF0000) and back to a Color structure again.

Counting for loop in VB.NET. Looks easy because it is, but I saw one submitted for PHP.

This function provides the reverse of a string. It is constructed using string builder because strings in .NET are immutable, while stringbuilders are not. Therefore large strings could be slow to reverse if a regular string was used for the working value that is returned.

This function returns a stack trace for an exception with all inner exceptions include unless the count of inner exceptions goes over 50. A stack overflow can occur if there is no upper limit for inner exceptions to read from.

Makes use of stringbuilder to build return string in order to yield higher performance.

Returns a string collection of IP addresses for a passed in domain name.

Simple Connection Class.

Given a string, you can return an Enum value
