It's booked and paid for, we're off to Mayrhofen in January.  I managed to persuade Sammy to agree to another spontaneous snowboarding holiday and Austria was our chosen destination.

Picture Taken by http://www.susiesque.de/

Mayrhofen is located 43 miles from Innsbruck and has 146km of pistes split into 40km of blues runs, 86km of red runs and 20km of black runs, the longest run being 9km. 

About 30 minutes away you'll find the Hintertux Glacier peaking at 3250 metres. From sources weather can be extreme here going down to a chilling -30 with unpredictable white outs.  However, on a good day the views are meant to be breathtaking.

We're both looking forward to this holiday.  If you're out there please get in touch.

Well, winter is finally here and the Nevis Range my favorite Scottish boarding resort has received some powder. Lets hope it keeps snowing :)

The following photo along with others can be found on the Nevis Range website

 

 

 "The Gondola is closed for annual maintenance and will reopen on 19 December. However if it snows during this time it may be possible to open at the weekend." - Check Nevis Range for further updates.

 Lets hope this winter is a good one. 

 Be sure to check out previous visits to the range

Title says all.

This is very straightforward and can add some extra functionality to your forms in the sense of if this value is selected show that div.

Within the asp.net page we add the control to the page:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="grpLocation" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" 
OnDataBound="grpLocation_onDataBound"> </asp:RadioButtonList>
 

Within the code behind we add some listitems to the Radio button list:

ListItem A = new ListItem("Edinburgh", "Edinburgh");
ListItem B = new ListItem("Glasgow", "Glasgow");
ListItem C = new ListItem("Aberdeen", "Aberdeen");
ListItem D = new ListItem("Scotland", "Scotland");
grpLocation.Items.Add(A);
grpLocation.Items.Add(B);
grpLocation.Items.Add(C);
grpLocation.Items.Add(D); grpLocation.DataBind();

In the code behind we add the following code to the grpLocation_onDataBound event:

 RadioButtonList rbl = (RadioButtonList)sender;
        foreach (ListItem li in rbl.Items)
        {
            li.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:ShowExt('" + li.Value + "')");
        }

 

What the above code is saying is add the attribute "onclick" to each list item within the RadioButtonList with a value of "javascript:ShowExt('value')".

For the above example to work we'll also need to add the javascript function "ShowExt" to the page:

 <script language=javascript type="text/javascript">
    function ShowExt(object)
    {
    alert("Value Clicked :" + object);
    }
    </script>

What the above code will do is show an alert box with the value of the radio item. Short, simple and sweet.
