Asp.Net MVC Calendar Helper

What it looks like

MVC3 Calendar

Recently while working on a project with Asp.Net MVC 3 there was a need for a small calendar similar to the asp.net calendar control. After some searching I decided that the easiest method to get this done would be to write a Html Helper. Below is the code that seems to work nicely. This works even if the browser does not support javascript. For added functionality you could add an extra parameter to show highlighted dates or extend it to fill a page and add content to the cells.

Lights Out v2

I've upgraded my Lights Out game to include preferences for the grid size. Now you can select anywhere from 3x3 to 8x8.

In addition to the new preferences I cleaned up the code a lot and changed the color of the lights.

Web and cloud may be all the rage, but many developers are still doing hardcore client development. If you are among them, this Boot Camp is for you!

In this full-day event, we will explore how to maximize your impact on the Windows client. Our interactive sessions will include topics from throughout the Windows development platform. We will look at application compatibility and transitioning your applications to Windows 7, integrating with the Windows taskbar, developing for IE9, utilizing the cool functionality in the Sensors and Location Platform so that your application better responds to its current environment, leveraging the multitouch capabilities (especially in kiosk scenarios), and creating Silverlight 4 out of browser applications.

This event is a unique opportunity, partnering classroom learning with hands-on-labs and leveraging experts to advise you so we can help you “win” with Windows 7.
