CSS Friendly Control Adapters Now Hosted on CodePlex

I don't know how I missed this for so long... but I just realized that the CSS Adapters are now a community product. As best I can tell, Microsoft decided to hand control of the Adapters project over to the OSS community and it is now being hosted at CodePlex.

CodePlex logo Actually... I do know how and why I didn't catch onto this until now - Microsoft's asp.net site make no mention of the fact that the product has now been handed off to the open source community. (Or, at least it didn't as of the time of this writing.)

At the very least I think it would be nice if Microsoft cued us all in by putting an announcement up on the site... or a least a link to the CodePlex project! Maybe a sticky forum post over at the CSS Adapter forum too.

Fix my own problems

Seeing as the Adapters are now OSS, I suppose I should do the right thing and take it upon myself to fix the issues I've been complaining about lately. Or at the very least I'll open a new issue in the project's issue tracker.

If you're also seeing issues with the Adapters, join in the fun and get involved in the project - open an issue, fix a bug, make a suggestion. You can do it all here.

What others are saying.

I'm not sure if this will solve the issue but seems give me the same problems when I change it in the beta version.

Change the line in each adapter that reads something like

PostBackOptions options = new PostBackOptions(btn, "", "", false, false, false, true, true, changePwd.UniqueID);

to

PostBackOptions options = new PostBackOptions(btn, "", "", false, false, false, false, true, changePwd.UniqueID);

I added a sticky post to the forum at http://forums.asp.net/1018.aspx. It's entitled "Microsoft OKs community development of these adapters." I've been having to clue people in to the fact that these are now being maintained by the community, too. So I understand your confusion. Spread the word. :)

Thanks Russ!

And you guys are doing a great job with the adapters. Hopefully things will slow down for me so I can spend a little more time contributing back to the projects (like the Adapters) that I use.

Thanks Again.
