Shell Playground

Sometimes it’s okay to have fun. A while back we had fun trying things in OnlineCenter and the result is the Playground. For designers this is a catalog of styles available on the dashboard. For developers it’s an insight into the OnlineCenter API.

In the playground project you will find examples of…

Elements

…CSS classes and element styles

 

 FormAjax

…server side ajax helpers

 

FormElements

…form element styles

 

 JsonTemplate

…an example using jTemplates and json

 

ViewFail

…how we deal with errors

 

Navigation

…adding interfaces to the menu system

 

SearchProviders

…the AppDomain search provider

As well as a few other things. Keep in mind that this isn't best practice. It's just code.

Download

To try this out you will need to build and configure the project in web.config.
