The author is none other than DevelopMentor XML guru Aarron Skonnard. In the article, Aarron covers SOAP from a pure XML protocol perspective; no specific client/server implementation is discussed.

C# version of IsNumeric( ) : public static bool IsNumeric(object value) {    try    {       int i = Convert.ToInt32(value.ToString());       return true;    }       catch (FormatException)    {       return false;    } } There are times when you do not want a postback to occur for a control on your ASP.NET page. This example shows how javascript can be used to process the event and suppress the postback. Returning false from javascript for a method on a control will prevent ASP.NET from processing the postpack. This example will redirect the client to a new page without first making a postback to the server. The code is placed in the Page_Load method of the ASP.NET Page: ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick", _    "top.location.href=''" & _    ";return false;")   6:54:28 PM
