Azure Key Vault offers secure storage for sensitive information like passwords, secrets etc. If you host your PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET application on Azure, it will makes sense to store your connection strings in Key Vault. In this article we’ll show you how this can be done. Creating Key Vault in Azure 1. Create an application in Azure. Write down tenantId, clientId and clientSecret values. 2. Logon to Azure and create a subscription. You need to specify subscription name and select a billing account. More info:…Continue Reading “Using Azure Key Vault to store connection strings”
We expect beta version of PHPRunner/ASPRunner.NET 11.2 to be available in early December 2025. Here is what you can expect in this upcoming update.
- 1. UI improvements
- 1.1 cards layout. Similar to vertical or columns layout but lightweight. No field names, just the data. Fixed width and height. View page of the record can be open by click on the whole card on on one of the fields. Customization: list of fields, layout, fonts, colors, paddings, borders, rounded corners.
In this article we will discuss how to minimize the amount of code that handles Javascript on Add/Edit pages. Making your code data-driven will help you easily manage forms with a huge numbers of fields. We will be taking care of functionality like showing/hiding fields, making fields readonly, required, disabled etc.
This approach will involve the following steps
1. Creating and populating database tables to store triggers ( when to apply the logic ) and actions ( what happens when trigger goes off )
2. Server-side PHP and C# code that passes this data to Javascript
3. Javascript code itself that listens to “change” event and implements the logic defined in the database.
Version 11.1 release is here! Is is available for both PHPRunner (Windows, Mac, Linux) and ASPRunner.NET.

Our goal is to display website visitors on the map, similar to the screenshot below.
We will convert their IP address to lat/lng coordinates and display those markers on OpenStreetMap map. To perform the conversion of IP addresses to lat/lng pairs we are going to use the geolocation data from ip2location.com.
We will display users that were active in the last ten minutes. If the user had some activity in the last 60 seconds, their dot will be pulsing.

Our snippet will display a number of customers in Customers table and clicking anywhere in snippet area will take us to the Customers table in question.
In this article we will show how you can implement drag-n-drop between two dashboard elements. It makes more sense to drag and drop records between two grids. In this example we will be using two tables named orders and orders_archive.
This is how it is going to look in the generated application:
Infinite scroll is a useful technique that allows to load new content automatically, when the user scrolls down and reaches the end of the page. This is the kind of feature that our customers asked us about for a fairly long time. Turns out, it is not that difficult to implement with the help of some custom coding. Enable ‘AJAX search, pagination, sorting’ option on Pages -> List page settings dialogue. Add the following code to List page: Javascript OnLoad event of the page where…Continue Reading “Infinite scroll”
In a web application, some long running tasks may time out and not finish. To avoid this kind of limitation we will show you how to run such tasks reliably and, at the same time provide progress status to the end user so they know the task is still running. In this article we’ll show you how to achieve this in PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET.
A common task like this is batch sending email notifications. The key is to initiate a process like this from JavaScript sending the next batch of tasks to the server via AJAX.

However, there are instances when a basic dashboard layout falls short in accommodating the desired volume of data on a single screen. In this article, we will demonstrate a method for amplifying information presentation through the use of a tabbed component. It’s important to note that this is not a built-in and we will need to write a bit of code.
Here is what we after:
