Enabling Frame Rate Counters for HTML Applications in Windows 8(michaelcrump.net)

submitted by mbcrump(1034) 7 months, 28 days ago

Introduction Just the other day I blogged about “Enabling Frame Rate Counter for XAML Applications in Windows 8”. At the very end of that post, I reminded everyone that that method does not work for HTML / JS Metro Applications. But, we are in luck as Mathias Jourdain provided sample code for accomplishing this in HTML / JS in his Build talk. The only problem was that he didn’t describe how to hook this into a new application to actually use. That is going to be the focus of today’s blog post. Let’s get started Unlike XAML Applications, this must be done using code. So, click on “Visual Studio 11” to begin. read more...

Supporting multiple submit buttons on an ASP.NET MVC view(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 6 months ago

A while ago, I was asked for advice on how to support multiple submit buttons in an ASP.NET MVC application, preferably without using any JavaScript. The idea was that a form could contain more than one submit button issuing a form post to a different controller action. The above situation can be solved in many ways, one a bit cleaner than the other. For example, one could post the form back to one action method and determine which method should be called from that action method. Good solution, however: not standardized within a project and just not that maintainable… A better solution in this case was to create an ActionNameSelectorAttribute. read more...

Deploying A Web Application with Git and FTP(blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by wiredone(917) 2 years, 6 months ago

ASP.NET Web Deployment is, shall we say, problematic at times – at least for a hosted scenario where you can’t do dumps from a build server and you don’t have access to IIS (which means you can’t use WebDeploy). What you’re about to read isn’t specific to the Microsoft platform at all and works with any development tool. And NO, you don’t need a single thing installed on the server (save FTP) for it to work. read more...

SilverBullet #10 System.Windows.Documents.Run(blog.timmykokke.com)

When showing text to a user it's often necessary to show a few words in Italic or Bold. To do this, use the System.Windows.Documents.Run class. This class provides a small bit of HTML - like features inside a Silverlight TextBlock. But, instead of using HTML tags you have to use the Run class. read more...

What is the Difference Between <%# j %> and <%= j %>(soliddotnet.com)

submitted by neerajmathur(130) 2 years, 8 months ago

These are the two types constructs to access page-level variables in an ASP.NET web template: data binding syntax * Data binding—the hierarchical mapping of control properties to data container values—is specified by the <%# … %> tags. Code located within a <%# … %> code block is only executed when the DataBindmethod of its parent control container is invoked. code rendering syntax * The <%= … %> code tags output content to the browser. This content could be hard-coded, or it may contain page-level variables. read more...
