asp.net Response.RedirectToRoute issue

In my global.ascx I have the routing setup: 

routeCollection.MapPageRoute("My Home Page", "myhomepage/{myid}", "~/MyHomePage.aspx");

I use Response.RedirectToRoute() with a parameter to open a page. I identified that in the following cases the redirect will fail:

• The parameter is not given. e.g. Response.RedirectToRoute("My Home Page");
• The parameter as null value. e.g. Response.RedirectToRoute("My Home Page", new {myid = null});
• The parameter as null value. e.g. Response.RedirectToRoute("My Home Page", new {myid = string.empty});

Apparently you MUST give a non-empty value to the parameter.

Telerik OpenAccess Service works locally but not hosted

I have 3 projects, one with the entity model, another one with the OData v3 service generated from the entity model, the third one is an asp.net web application.

During local development the service reference I added into the web app is from same solution: http://localhost:55001/MyModelService.svc

After everything was successfully tested I then published the service project and hosted it on a third party hosting service. I was able to browse the service successfully by going: http://service.myapp.com/MyService.svc

I then re-added the existing service reference into my web app with the remote url shown above, published the web app on another hosting service.

When I load up the web app I got an error:
DataServiceQueryException was unhandled by user code
An error occurred while processing this request.

The issue turned out to be really fundamental which I missed out through all my WCF learnings: the cross domain policy xml!

The solution is to add a clientaccesspolicy.xml into the OpenAccess Service WCF app root folder with the following content:

Step 2:
Browse to your local file folder and open the .csv file.

Step 3:
In the "Text Import Wizard - Step 1 of  3" popup, select "Delimited" and click on "Next".

Step 4:
In the "Text Import Wizard - Step 2 of  3" popup, select "Comma", un-select all other options, and click on "Next".

Step 5:

Step 6:
In the "Import Data" popup click on "OK".

Now you can see all leading zeros in EXCEL!

solution to: c# asp.net usercontrol javascript only executes first time

I have this line to run a javascript from code behind:
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.Page.GetType(), "sbScript", sbScript.ToString(), false);

This line is inside pageload event of the usercontrol that I used my my aspx page. The user control is used multiple times on the aspx page. The javascript is therefore called multiple times. However the script only works the first time.

The reason being is because the script name specified is always "sbScript" which has been assigned value when first run. The solution is to make sure the script name is set to different values everytime the line is executed.

Attempt by security transparent method 'xxxxxxxxx' to access security critical method 'xxxxxxxx' failed.

I converted my website to a web application and upgraded .net framework from v3.5 to v4. I also setup a class library to host entity framework models for the web app to consume. At run time when the business logic calls the entity framework class library I got this error below.

Attempt by security transparent method 'xxxxxxxxx' to access security critical method 'xxxxxxxx' failed.

Assembly 'xxxxxxxxxxx' is marked with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute, and uses the level 2 security transparency model.  Level 2 transparency causes all methods in AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers assemblies to become security transparent by default, which may be the cause of this exception.

 The solution is to specify the security level in the business logic project AssemblyInfo.cs, add the following line:
[assembly: System.Security.SecurityRules(System.Security.SecurityRuleSet.Level1)]

Telerik RadGrid databinding throws error when open template edit form in insert mode with boolean controls e.g. checkbox

solution is to have a corresponding GridBoundColumn, and set DefaultInsertValue="false" in the column definition

my radgrid uses Tempalte in EditFormSettings. It current contains 2 pages of data.
When I click on Add New Record the command button on top of the grid, the edit form opens correctly in insert mode. However when I look closely at the data, it actually shows the second page, and the page number on the bottom of the grid shows "2".


The solution is to set

radgrid integer filter enter text cause error

when I enter a random text instead of an integer into the filter, and select any option in the filter options dropdown, i get error
the solution is kind of tricky:
EnableLinqExpressioins property of grid as false

in my radgrid i use template as EditFormType. When I open the edit form for a grid item I want to show or hide a texbos based on the value populated in it. It can be achieved this way:

Protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
{
GridEditFormItem item = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");
//OR/// TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)item["TextBox1"].Controls[0];
if (TextBox1.Text == "your value")
{
TextBox1.Visible = false;
}
}
}

radwindow pops up all the time unexpected

I use the following line in code behind to open a radwindow:




During as soon as I opened the window once, any postback will cause this window to popup again.

RadWindow1.Visible = false;

open radwindow using radmenu item click within a template column of radgrid

first, make sure you have "ClientDataKeyNames="Id" " added into the Master Table View of the radgrid

then implement the following javascript:

function OpenRecordBreakdown(Id)
{
var oWnd = radopen("RecordBreakDown.aspx?Id=" + , "rwRecordBreakDown");
oWnd.setSize(900, 600);
oWnd.set_behaviors(Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Move + Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Maximize + Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Resize + Telerik.Web.UI.WindowBehaviors.Close)
oWnd.Center();
}


var lastClickedItem = null;
var clickCalledAfterRadprompt = false;
var clickCalledAfterRadconfirm = false;
function onClientButtonClicking(sender, args) {

if (args.get_item().get_text() == "Delete") {
if (!clickCalledAfterRadconfirm) {
args.set_cancel(true);
lastClickedItem = args.get_item();
radconfirm("Are you sure you want to delete this Item?", confirmCallbackFunction);
}
}

if (args.get_item().get_text() == "Record Breakdown") {
var cell = sender.get_element().parentNode.parentNode;
rowindex = cell.rowIndex; //The row index may vary based on the grid structure.
var grid = $find("<%=rgList.ClientID %>");
var MasterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
var id = MasterTable.get_dataItems()[rowindex - 2].getDataKeyValue("Id");

OpenRecordBreakdown(id);

args.set_cancel(true);
}
}

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/window/using-radprompt-and-radconfirm-with-telerik-navigational-controls.aspx

open radwindow in codebehind by radcombobox selectedindexchanged event

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(abc_def_1), "openWin", "openWin('" + ParameterId.ToString() + "');", true);

provide you still need the radwindow manager in .aspx code, and the javascript "openWin"

Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEve

"Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation."

in my case it is caused by trying to call a radgrid.rebind() in page_load, the radgrid sits inside of a radupdatepanel. In case of postback the code contains client script which caused this security breach. After I put radgrid.rebind() inside !IsPostBack the error disappearred.

visual studio 2010 issue referencing usercontrol property from container page

When I tried to reference a public property in user control from a container page, the intellisense doesn't seem to be able to pick up the property. Ignore the red curly underline, build the parent page, it worked~

another VS2010 bug?

T-SQL loop through all rows in a table to add an incremental value

DECLARE @tempTable table(Id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)
DECLARE @counter INT
INSERT INTO @tempTable SELECT UserId from TestTable
SET @counter = 1
WHILE (@counter < (SELECT COUNT(UserId) FROM @tempTable)+1)
BEGIN
UPDATE TestTable SET TestColumn = '' WHERE Id = (
SELECT a.Id FROM
(SELECT Id, Row_Number() OVER(ORDER BY UserId) AS 'RN' from TestTable) as a
where a.RN = @counter
)
SET @counter = @counter + 1
END

RadGrid wont expand after updated to Q1 2010

This is because the detail table is set to "visible=false" during the update process. Not all RadGrid controls in the application get this symptom, not sure why this happens. All you need to do is to change the setting to "visible = true"

T-SQL division

I came cross this this issue of failing to do a division with 2 integer values. Stupid enough......

so In order for the division to work i used CAST(value TO FLOAT)
