Files and content search outside from opened Visual Studio solution

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:40:57 GMT

I have been using Visual studio for decade now and never notice a useful search option on “Find and Replace” wizard.One of my client still use Windows XP for their development machine.We have set of projects separated to specific group or solutions. So,i always have challenge to find some contents or files other than current opened solutions.On windows 7 it is easier go folder and look for content but not so easy on windows XP.Following “Find and Replace” and content search found very helpful.

Hope this help.

Internet Explorer 8 developer tools debugging on Windows XP

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 06:04:04 GMT

Although , Microsoft officially not going support Windows XP but still many healthcare companies preferred to use windows XP internally. They buy windows 7 laptop and convert to Windows XP.This sounds funny but it true.

I was trying to use IE’s Developer tools(F12) to debug one of JavaScript issue found that “jscript.dll” has to be registered explicitly to your machine.

even if i have IE8 and javsascript enabled on browser it was not stopping on breakpoint.

Solution : register jscript.sll
type “regsvr32 jscript.dll” on command prompt and your good to go.

ReportViewer configuration

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:43:20 GMT

Some of my team member was facing configuring report viewer.Most of the post are confusing or not able to understand properly.
This is what we concluded and thought to put a quick note on it.

No 1 Section : This is the report name
No 2 Section : ReportServer make the default name on URL sometime even if you don’t see on browser you still need to try with “Reportserver” on url. In our case the DB/report team did not mentioned nothing about “ReprtServer” on URL but it was needed.

No 3. “Adventure Works” is the folder path name.This required as full path. Don’t confuse with browser URL path. Look for actual server path. Browser show something like this “Report/page” blah blah..But this is not the right URL.

No 4: Credential are configured on server and you should able to see report without any login prompt even if you gave “MyReportViewer.ShowCredentialPrompts = false” option. this also need to inherits from IReportServerCredentials and pass the user id and password using NetworkCredential .

Hope this help somebody and save sometime.

Good luck

Javascript : Modifying parent element from child block the web site to display

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:38:48 GMT

Well recently i was working with Dotnetnuke and we are using lots of JavaScript around this project. Internally, dotnetnuke use lot of asp.net user control which lead to have a situation where child element accessing/modifying data of parent.

Here is one example

the DIV element is a child container element. The SCRIPT block inside the DIV element tries to modify the BODY element. The BODY element is the unclosed parent container of the DIV element.

   1:  <html>

   2:    <body>

   3:        <div>

   4:                    <script type="text/Javascript">

   5:                      document.body.innerHTML+="sample text";

   6:                    </script>

   7:        </div>

   8:    </body>

   9:  </html>

This is by Design,so, upgrade to latest IE :)

Easy way to write WHERE IN clause in Linq

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 18:54:01 GMT

I found many links to write IN clause in Linq but following is the simplest way achieve this

public IEnumerable<Products> GetProductsByIds(List<int > ids)
{
    from id in Products
    where (x => ids.Contains(x.Id))
    select new {x.Id, x.ProductName};
}

var productids = new List<int> { 33,34,35,36 };

GetProductsByIds(productids);

Happy Coding..!

Delete bin and obj folder from projects directories

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:26:00 GMT

You always have problem to debug when you do latest from source control.You might end up deleting bin/obj folder sometime.Here is nice bat file which delete bin/obj folder(s).
1. copy this on notepad and save it as clean.bat file
2. Keep this file on root directory
3. Double check the directory on "DIR /B /AD /S obj" and "DIR /B /AD /S bin"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S bin') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S obj') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try this some dummy folder and your ready to run.

There is other way to use msbuilt but this one found easier for me.

Thanks,

Silverlight hierarchy gridview with MVVM

Fri, 21 May 2010 01:22:51 GMT

Since few days i have been struggling to bind a gridview from a simple WCF async call.
Following article look promising…

http://blogs.telerik.com/vladimirenchev/posts/09-10-16/how_to_silverlight_grid_hierarchy_load_on_demand_using_mvvm_and_ria_services.aspx

I conclude binding is not simple traditional databind() method call from gridview if you don’t know howto ;)

Thanks,
