While using AJAX some users would press the [b]backspace [/b]button on their keyboard and the browser would go back so they would loose what they where doing in the ajax refreshed page ..... the [b]SOLUTION [/b](keep reading):

[b]Objetive:[/b] *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) [b]Environment[/b] * 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) [b]Solutions:[/b] 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....

[b]Symptoms[/b]: Default button not does not fire when enter key is pressed using Firefox. (using the ajax ControlToolkit) [b]Fix[/b]: add this property to the ASP button UseSubmitBehavior="False" So it looks like: "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)."

this will allow names like: Jon Doe ---- Jørn ---- Mc'Neelan match names and dis-allow any attempts to send evil characters. In particular, it tries to allow non-english names by allowing unicode characters. [code]^([ \u00c0-\u01ffa-zA-Z'])+$[/code] example of use: ErrorMessage="invalid name" ControlToValidate="txtLName" Display="None" ValidationExpression="^([ \u00c0-\u01ffa-zA-Z'])+$">

this is how to populate a dropdown ASP.net 3.5 control with entity spaces in code behind c#: (Item is tha name of my entity) ItemCollection i = new ItemCollection(); i.LoadAll(); this.ddlItemType.DataSource = i; this.ddlItemType.DataTextField = ItemMetadata.PropertyNames.Description; this.ddlItemType.DataValueField = ItemMetadata.PropertyNames.ItemTypeID; this.ddlItemType.DataBind(); if you add this after the databind it will add a list item at index zero (pre-selected) ListItem li = new ListItem("select one ", ""); this.ddlItemType.Items.Insert(0,li);

to Use PageMethods for Vs 2005 with visual studion 2008 pageMethods website: http://metasapiens.com/PageMethods/ all you need to do is apply this registry entry after installing Page Methods for 2005.

If you need to localize asp pages or custom controls that are located in subfolders you will need multiple App_LocalResources folder..... So Create a [b]App_LocalResources [/b] folder inside each sub-folder of your webproject where pages are accessed. And put the proper file translations inside of it.

Demo of the Easy EasyObjects after the break :)<!--Break-->

Is a modified version of [url=http://www.easyobjects.net]Easy Objects[/url].... and it's templates that adds:

• Nullable Types.... (no more int, only int?)
• creates inserts,updates,deletes,selects as statics
• adds the concept of VA (Value Objects) per table entry
• adds non case sensitivity option on equal,like and not like operant

*note: only templates for C# available at the moment and more to come.... i'm open to ALL kind of help, suggestions, complains etc..! here is the flash demo if the modifications in use:

this C# function will convert an comma separated string in to an array of integers private int[] commaStrToArray(string strIntComma) { string [] strArray; strArray = strIntComma.Split(new char[] {','}); int [] intArray = new int [strArray.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < strArray.Length; i++) intArray[i] = int.Parse(strArray[i]); return intArray; }
