Andy Smith took Jesse Ezell's ASP.NET dialog stuff and ran away with it. I downloaded and played with Jesse's code and it was cool, but it wasn't very easy to get started with. What Andy has provided is about the coolest ASP.NET thing since sliced bread.

If you try the code and run into a strange 404 error, that is because you need to add the following to your web config so the dialog box knows where to find it's icons:

<httpHandlers> 


<add verb="*"
path="MetaBuilders_DialogWindow.axd" 


type="MetaBuilders.WebControls.DialogImageHandler, 


MetaBuilders.WebControls.DialogWindow" /> 


</httpHandlers>

(There is a line break in the type attribute that I added for readability. Remove it when you use this code.)

So now I have a problem. The .axd file isn't actually providing any data to the popup dialog. I haven't spent more than about 5 minutes debugging this, so if anyone can help, let me know. Maybe my httpHandler setup isn't complete... I'm not sure.
