.NET | SevenCamels.Common.Cojay
Reinventing the Wheel
Well that was fun. I learnt something about Ajax, specifically Ajax.NET, and I got a nice code browser to boot. Inspired by Scott Watermasysk's Cojax, Cojay isn't as pretty, but it will do for now. Cojay is just for demonstration purposes at the moment since I haven't bought a license for the ComponentArt.Web.UI.TreeView control just yet.
Cojay ('cause y is after x) is functionally very similar to Cojax. I used a frameset instead of a one page layout, so the scrolling works a bit better (but the printing is a nightmare). The frameset was ripped straight from the MSDN Library -- I still have the same blue bar in the middle. :S I didn't get around to using the code highlighter, but I hope to do that sometime in the future.
The one fancy thing that I did manage to do was handle a user specified URL similar to how the MSDN Library works. This allows direct links to specific folders or files, complete with tree view synchronisation. Here is a quick demonstration of how that works...
Feel free to download the source code for the Cojay program here. I've put it under the GNU General Public License.
