Highslide JS .NET (v0.4)
AJAX, ASP.NET, Highslide, UI By Dave Ward on August 3rd, 2007Embedded outline graphics!
Finally, the control does what I really wanted it to from the start: It completely encapsulates Highslide JS into a single file. You no longer need a graphics/outlines directory with external outline images. Absolutely everything you need is embedded in the control’s .DLL.
If you’re upgrading from a previous version, drop the GraphicsPath property from your HighslideManager control and feel free to delete the outlines directory from your site.
As always, the latest version is available on the Highslide JS .NET download page.

What are your future plans for expanding Highslide JS .NET?
The only near-term plans I have are to include a thumbnail generation routine in the control and fix a minor bug with master pages.
I’m always open to feature requests, but I’m wary of expanding the scope of the control too widely.
First of all, thank you very much Dave for the control: very nice and easy to use. Though I have a couple of questions/suggestions:
1. How to set a place on the screen where a big image is displayed after you click on the thumbnail? It always appears on top of the thumbnail for me but I’d like to place it a little bit aside.
2. The original HS also supports a text/html content available through the HTTP GET request from another URL. Is it supported now? If not are you going to add this on?
I believe you could use CSS to force the position of the enlargement, by overriding the .highslide-image CSS selector.
I have thought about adding support for the AJAX type functionality added recently. It would probably be a control that takes another control as a “target”, but I haven’t really fleshed out the idea enough yet.
