Add SVN Revision Macro for Visual Studio 2005/2008
Tue, 2008-02-26 20:53 — carlosObjetive:
*Update automatically the revision number in the web.config file of a website in my project.
(I wanted to show the users looking at the remote server the revision they are looking at)
Environment
* SVN installed in my local (c:\svn)
* Remote Windows Server that updates the trunk every X minutes
* Make sure your web.config has a section like: (inside the configuration branch)
<appSettings>
<add key="version" value="1.2." />
<add key="revision" value="138" />
</appSettings>Solutions:
I created two macros.... one for adding the revision number on demand (selected project and press of a button) and the other one will write it every time the build command is called.
for the macro code click Read more....
Ajax ControlToolKit and Firefox default button PostBack - Server Click Event
Thu, 2008-02-21 19:53 — carlosSymptoms:
Default button not does not fire when enter key is pressed using Firefox. (using the ajax ControlToolkit)
Fix:
add this property to the ASP button
UseSubmitBehavior="False"So it looks like:
<asp:Button ID="btnSearch" UseSubmitBehavior="False" ValidationGroup="submit" runat="server" Text="Search" CssClass="submitButton" OnClick="btnSearch_Click" />"The problem wasn't that it didn't do a postback. That it did. What it didn't do was hit the server side event (the button click event)."

Relative Script MasterPage Location on ASP .Net 2.0
Wed, 2007-02-28 21:37 — carlosAdding a referece of Javascript files in Master Pages is a pain. Because the location of Javascript can be in directory, you can simply write this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/some.js />This will NOT work as when you deploy your site, it would depend on the directory structure.
