Hey all.

Nothing new for this month so apart from reminding you that if you want to make a quick 30$ all you have to do is to drop us an good unique article (you can get more information on our Make Money Writing Articles Page). I will move on to the stats.

Here are March’s Stats:

Tab menus are a fairly common thing that I use in a lot of my applications. I like tabs because they help break up large chunks of, usually, related information.

At work we use RadControls for Telerik and they have a pretty nice tab menu control that is easy to use and looks good too. The only problem with these controls is that they only work in WebForms like even the default ASP.NET controls. So when I started playing with MVC I quickly realized I would need to spend some time building some of these controls myself.

Have you ever tried to create a DataTemplate for a Generic Class? During last week I had to battle this issue and it is allot more complicated then it sounds. As far as I can tell Creating DataTemplates for Generic classes is impossible. There is some kind of workaround but it is not all that good. OK lets get down to business. This is the class we are trying to template

   1: public class GenericClass<T>

   2: {

   3:     private T m_Val;

   4:  

   5:     public T Val

   6:     {

   7:         get { return m_Val; }

   8:         set { m_Val = value; }

   9:     }

  10: }
