dhtmlxConnector for PHP, Java, ASP.NET Updated to v.1.5

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

We would like to introduce the update of dhtmlxConnectors for PHP, Java, and ASP.NET. The connectors were developed to simplify data binding between the client-side DHTMLX components and a database on the server. The new version 1.5 brings better security, flexibility, and improved support for dhtmlxScheduler and DHTMLX Touch.

Security Improvements

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) is a known security vulnerability of web pages which load the content dynamically from the server-side database. To protect web pages from injection of malicious scripts, version 1.5 of dhtmlxConnector comes with XSS filtering enabled by default. The update also includes server-side protection techniques that prevent CSRF and XSRF attacks.

More Flexibility

With this update, dhtmlxConnector offers additional methods for data rendering. Introducing support for stored procedures calls, we added the ability to retrieve data form the database using the stored procedure.

Another enhancement in version 1.5 is that the connector now can get content from data arrays, which gives you more freedom when choosing the data source to load data from (you can use the connector with non-database data sources).

dhtmlxConnector v.1.5 provides better support for OOP (Object Oriented Programming) that includes support for data model and data behavior classes.

Scheduler and DHTMLX Touch

Working with dhtmlxScheduler, you can now generate data in JSON format using JSONSchedulerConnector class. We have also improved support for our mobile framework DHTMLX Touch by adding dynamic loading capability and implementing the full existing functionality of the main connectors.

How to Use dhtmlxGrid with ASP.NET MVC

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

In this tutorial we are going to explain how to use dhtmlxGrid with ASP.NET MVC. Following this article step by step will allow you to implement an editable datagrid with sorting and filtering capabilities. We will also describe how to bind the grid data to the database and update it on the server side when user makes changes in browser.

We will use the Standard Edition of dhtmlxGrid, which is available under GNU GPL. As an example, we will create a table of users. Not to do the same work twice, we just use the same records that were used for our RoR implementation. The image below shows how our datagrid will look.

Download the final demo and follow the tutorial to integrate dhtmlxGrid in an ASP.NET MVC application.

Build Room Booking System with dhtmlxScheduler (for ASP.NET MVC)

Friday, August 26th, 2011

NOTE: We’re now offering DHTMLX Scheduler .NET, a web control optimized for ASP.NET MVC.

In the previous MVC-related tutorial we described how to integrate dhtmlxScheduler into an ASP.NET MVC application. After publication, we received plenty of feedback, reflecting that the tutorial was helpful to many of ASP.NET MVC developers. Therefore we decided to continue this series and show you how to extend the calendar functionality to implement a room booking system.

In this tutorial we’ll go further and add multi-user functionality to the scheduling system, allowing different users to make changes in the calendar simultaneously without impacting each other. As we already said, we’ll create a meeting room booking system which will look like on the screenshot below.

Modern web apps impose ever higher demands on the user interface. In the case of standard controls, you can always use a built-in solution. However, with more complex controls – a calendar UI, for example – you are up against the problem. But here, third-party solutions can help. One of them is dhtmlxScheduler.
