Labs

Digital Colony Labs is where I keep the code examples and tools.

Amazon Link – This tool builds an XHTML compliant link with small, medium or large images for Amazon associates.

ASP.NET Report – This example converts an RSS Feed into a web page that looks like The Drudge Report.

DeepFitness API – I coded an API for my fitness site Deep Fitness.  This tool retrieves article content.

Geocoding – This tool uses the Yahoo! Mapping API to get latitude and longitude for a given address.

GridView Highlighter – Add a mouseover row and column highlight to an ASP.NET GridView control.

Mask Email – This tool is used to fool spiders from adding email addresses to SPAM lists.

SmugMug – SmugMug is an online photo application.  This example pulls an RSS feed of images in a gallery and displays them on the page.

Validate DOCTYPE – ASP.NET code that asks the W3C validator if a given URL markup is valid.

Zodiac Calculator – You know that calendar that sometimes appears as a place mat in Chinese restaurants?  This is the ASP.NET version.

  1. Hi Michael

    Mr Google sent me over to this site. I needed to be reminded on how bind some static text to a gridview and found your 2008 article ‘Bind Generic List to ASP.NET DropDownList Example’ just the job. Cheers! As you have a fitness related site, I thought you might be interested in my soon-to-launched shareware product at http://www.fitnessmovieplayer.com/default.aspx.

  2. @Martin – Good luck with your product. I used to offer a YouTube API video player, but they changed the API and I never bothered to update the code.
