A jQuery UI and .Net Image Organizer
Over the course of this tutorial we’ll look at how to create a simple image organizer that lets users reorder a series of images; this functionality could be useful on any kind of image-based site where users have a collection of images that they have uploaded or otherwise added to their profile or account. We’ll use .net to retrieve and store the order of images in a SQL database on the server, and jQuery UI to handle the reordering of the images on the client.
The page we create will be of the type aspx; we can create and edit these files with a simple text editor if necessary, but it’s far more efficient to use a proper .Net IDE. Visual Web Developer Express from Microsoft is a great .Net IDE and it’s completely free; grab a copy now from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Web/.
