Creating an ItemDataBound Event Delegate for a Nested Repeater(codezest.com)

submitted by daveschinkel(1720) 3 years, 6 months ago

Today I needed to create a nested grid using repeaters. Pretty common but always a pain in the ass with all Microsoft controls. I needed to nest my repeaters just like you’d nest any other control like the DataGrid or GridView. The issue came up for me when I wanted to create a delegate for my nested repeater (repeater inside my parent). Since a nested control within a control (the nested repeater in this case) is not available at the page level, Intellisense or the compiler will not know that it exists. Because it’s nested inside a parent, it becomes pat of that parent’s collection of objects. read more...

Visual Studio/Intellisense Doesn’t Recognize Web Controls & Code(codezest.com)

submitted by daveschinkel(1720) 3 years, 7 months ago

Intermittently at times, Visual Studio for some odd reason, refuses to recognize web controls or C# syntax during a build/compile that you know is fine. You’ve included all the right usings, assembly or project references, and the syntax you know worked before, but for some reason it just decides to piss you off when you try to compile by stating it is not familiar with the syntax or control. There are a slew of things one can try in order to sort of kick Visual Studio in the pants when you try to build, and it still can’t seem to notice those web controls even when they are in the designer file and there are no conflicts or syntax issues. Today I has such an issue again. When you exhaust all the tricks of the trade, the next best thing to do is ultimately just recreate the file itself and paste back in your code. read more...

N-Layered != N-Tiered: Know the Difference!(codezest.com)

submitted by daveschinkel(1720) 3 years, 7 months ago

I hear a LOT of developers refer to what are essentially N-Layers as “N-Tiers”. This kind of bugs me a little when I see or hear it from developers. First of all, they are not even close the same thing, and it’s important as a developer to get this straight so that you are using the terminology properly. The difference is simple but very important when you’re talking about your applications. They should not be loose terms and intermingled as about probably 90% of the developers out there that I’ve worked with seem to do. read more...

Using Fiddler with Firefox for Local Web site Testing Easily with Foxy(codezest.com)

submitted by daveschinkel(1720) 3 years, 8 months ago

Fiddler is one of the best tools to analyze web requests sent from a web site and much more. Normally, using Fiddler with FireFox is a huge pain and typically does not work well out of the box when testing localhost requests or any requests for that matter with Fiddler through Firefox. But by using FoxyProxy which is just a nice plug-in to FireFox, it allows you to setup different proxies in FireFox very easily, and you can then hook into Fiddler's proxy quickly, and start to catch requests over the wire when testing local web applicatio read more...
