These are stable demonstration of ideas or just code samples. These are survivors of the Labs and most everything should work quite well. Some items in this section have been (or will be) used in production systems.
This demo grabs a snapshot of current weather conditions from the National Weather Service and making charts and graphs with the data. Click a station name to see current and historical details.
This will not work in Internet Explorer. Can I find your location? This is using HTML5, so results my vary. Try it on a mobile device and you'll get more accurate results than with a desktop computer. If you find your location is in the middle of the ocean, try reloading the page. This issue seems to occur mostly on mobile devices, especially if you don't have many signal bars. You also might have to wait a few seconds for the location detection to kick in.
Five years in the working, here is a dashboard that displays what is and has been played on XM. You cannot download the music! The process that gets the data and stores it has much magic and runs every three minutes. This was built using the Developer Express controls.
A smaller version of the originial, optimized for those li'l mobile browsers.
The original version of XM Watch. This was built using native Microsoft .NET and AJAX controls.
Yet another attempt at browsing my music library. This time, it is running against MySQL instead of Access.
A proof of concept that uses the Picasa API from Google to create a photo library. This could actually be very useful, because you could host a photo library on your website and not have to worry about storage or writing code to manage the photos.
This is capturing your browser footprint. Later, I'll do some stuff with regex to build stats for no apparent reason.
A grouping of gridviews, with nice samples of native Microsoft controls and third-party controls.
I'm not totally sold on Silverlight being a viable applications development platform, but it can be kind of fun. Here are some goofy samples of how it can be implemented.
Here are some samples showing the use of the free Google Visualization API. The results are nice, but not very robust. The API could be very useful in a time or money pinch.
Some experiments and demos with the DevExpress library.
