Bing Translator Service I tried using the Google API for the web and it was pretty good.

Vertical Column Headers
5/21/2009We had a scenario where there's a necessity to display the column headers vertically. Usually the headers will be horizontals by default. Below picture shows the default headers.

Bulk Insert ,Update and Delete with ASP.Net ListView control
5/21/2009ASP.Net Listview is a Template Driven Grid control from Microsoft. It combines the features of DataGrid, GridView and Repeater. There is lot of web resources available about ListView.

Silverlight 3 with Ria Authentication service
5/20/2009Authentication and authorization plays a key role in the web world. Going distributed makes information sharing healthier. But only if it's allowed for the know contact it will be healthy.
