I was setting up a new Project in Flex Builder with Application Server Type as ‘ColdFusion’. I had the default values in the Flex Builder wizard. But the Wizard wont let me go past the second screen. I kept getting this error :- Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml. And […]
I had a requirement to generate an Excel report based on some filter criteria. Since I am using ColdFusion for the project, I will be using ColdFusion code to demonstrate what I did but this can pretty much apply to any language that can run loops and write files.

In response to reader’s comments from my previous post, I have updated the code for this little thingy. Here are the updates in this version. 1) Added the ability to change pagesize dynamically (I did a separate post on this one earlier) 2) Made the grid rows double clickable. On double click, a window opens […]
