When this happens, .nextOrFirst() will automatically select the first element from within the same parent (essentially treating the first element as "next").]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/999/jquery-nextorfirst-function-guarantees-a-selection/feed/ 2 http://www.mattvanandel.com/798/asp-net-tutorial-7-intro-to-net-forms/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/798/asp-net-tutorial-7-intro-to-net-forms/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:12:34 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=798 http://www.mattvanandel.com/798/asp-net-tutorial-7-intro-to-net-forms/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/914/ajax-tutorial-0-core-ajax-concepts/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/914/ajax-tutorial-0-core-ajax-concepts/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:44:54 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=914 not an in-depth look at JavaScript, nor is it intended to be.

Switch constructs are a conditional, like if/else constructs discussed in the previous ASP.NET Tutorial 4. In all honesty, you won't use switch blocks nearly as often as you will use if... but there are times when they just plain make more sense. A switch block compares a single variable or value to any number of other values, and when it finds a match, it executes some code. What really makes switch blocks handy is that after it finds a match, it will keep checking conditions until you tell it to stop (by using the break keyword).]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/787/asp-net-tutorial-5-conditionals-2-switch-constructs/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/691/asp-net-tutorial-4-conditionals-ifelse-constructs/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/691/asp-net-tutorial-4-conditionals-ifelse-constructs/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:42:24 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=691 if constructs.

When you're projects get even remotely complicated, you will run into situations where you won't be able to remember what on earth you were doing last, or why you did something a certain way to begin with. Furthermore, if anyone ever inherits your code, comments can make the nearly insurmountable task of deciphering it much more palatable. More often than not, however, it will be you deciphering your own code - so save yourself a lot of time later by spending a little up front and writing good comments.]]> http://www.mattvanandel.com/688/asp-net-tutorial-3-commenting-documenting-code/feed/ 0 http://www.mattvanandel.com/632/asp-net-tutorial-2-introduction-to-c-structure/ http://www.mattvanandel.com/632/asp-net-tutorial-2-introduction-to-c-structure/#comments Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:15:36 +0000 Matt http://www.mattvanandel.com/?p=632 hows and the whys.
