There are times when I really like ASP.NET and times when I don't. Usually the times that I don't are when I don't have as much control over the final HTML markup as I would like, or when I look at the amount of JavaScript, ViewState and other markup that ASP.NET has added.

I needed to add a login with Facebook button to a website and wanted a simple solution that would check whether the user successfully logged in and return their email address and name. I considered using the C# SDK but couldn't find much in the way of documentation or samples to accomplish this task.

I recently needed a Javascript function to truncate text to fit a container such as a DIV, not just in width but in height. I found plenty of functions that truncate to width but couldn't find anything by height so I created this Jquery plugin that does the job. Please note that it does not handle HTML so if HTML content is truncated it may truncate mid-tag and break the display.

This is how you can connect to a MySQL database from ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor).
