Samples & Demos

By popular demand, in conjunction with the DownloadCENTER release, I decided to release the famous DirListModule I originally created for IIS7 demos, several years ago.  In fact, I think it was the first real managed module that anyone on the team had built, and it has been used in hundreds of demos ever since, including BobMu's keynote at PDC in 2005. 

What does it do?  It is pretty simple - it is a module/handler combo that can turn any directory full of images on your site into an image gallery, without any code.  You can easily customize the look and feel by tweaking the themes/ HTML and stylesheets.  It does all the dynamic thumbnails, image resizing, previewing, and caching for you.  It even has a few configuration tweaks you can play with.

Get it here:  http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1325

And leave me lots of good reviews and ratings. ;)

PS, if you're looking for sample source, and how to do this, I recommend you check out Mike's blog

    Haha! I beat you by a week with <a href="http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/01/21/Get-nice-looking-directory-listings-for-your-IIS-website-with-DirectoryListingModule.aspx">my directory listing module post</a>, where I mentioned this one as the motivation for me to write my own.

    The main difference is that all of the web content it generates is outside of the module in an aspx template - and with IconHandler, you get nice file icons for all your content.  I can feel the competition heating up :)

    yeah, yeah, Mike.  That's great and all if you want to muck around with aspx templates.  but you already knew I'm a simple man...
