Umbraco 7 has messed around with, and closed down much of the MVC routing engine, to such a point that one cannot really be sure what standard MVC techniques still work. I have quickly come to the conclusion that while Umbraco makes very good CMS only sites this is a difficult area for a developer […]
This has probably been covered about a million times on the net, but I have included it to complete my previous post on Installing Umbraco Visual Studio Install using Nuget. This post assumes you have a Windows Azure account and know a little bit about whats in there (databases, web applications etc.) To sign up […]
As mentioned in a previous post, I have struggled to install Umbraco using 7.2.1/7.2.4 and Visual Studio 2013 (VS2013). As a developer my requirement is to add content management to an existing MVC project, or to start a new MVC project and give the users the option of content management so on the face of […]
I have been working on my first Umbraco 7 project. No matter what I do I cannot get it to install correctly via Nuget with VS2013. I am tearing my hair out here, which is bad because I don’t have much to start with! The instructions are from our.umbraco.org, titled Installing Umbraco with Nuget. I […]
I have am in the process of setting up an Umbraco 7 website that has limited editing facilities (i.e. only one person will be updating the site, a relatively experienced user at that). I would like this user to be able to upload Zip files. It appears that the disallowedUploadFiles in config/umbracoSettings.config is totally ignored: […]
ASP.NET Webforms has two ways of disabling text input fields: Method 1: Disabled
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="CommentsTextBox" Text='<%#Bind("Comments") %>' CssClass="textEntryLargest" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="4" Enabled="False" /> |
Method 2: ReadOnly
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="CommentsTextBox" Text='<%#Bind("Comments") %>' CssClass="textEntryLargest" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="4" Enabled="True" ReadOnly="True" /> |
The first method greys out the field by default, the second one does not grey out. The other difference I have found is that the second method leaves the scroll bar in memo fields enabled, as opposed […]
ASP.NET Webforms has the UpdatePanel and UpdateProgress controls, intended originally to simplify AJAX development. However these are not as easy to use as the designers intended, MVC is far easier when writing CRUD pages using AJAX or otherwise. In a legacy app recently, I came across some code where a FormView was inside an UpdatePanel, […]
Do you have an ASP.NET Webforms application with the GridView expanding outside of its container? Your markup might look like this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<%--Markup to enter search criteria and then set Visible="true" on the ResultsPanel for example--%> ... <%--Markup to show results--%> <asp:Panel ID="ResultsPanel" runat="server" Visible="false"> <asp:GridView ID="ResultsGridView" runat="server"> ... </asp:GridView> ... </asp:Panel> |
Because the GridView uses a table, sometimes the width of it might expand to larger than your browser window. This might be fine (you could use the scroll bar at the bottom of […]
I watched quite a few of the Connect() event videos on Channel 9 in November 2014 about ASP.NET vNext. Lots of new things coming including: ASP.NET 5 goes Open Source You can deploy the ASP.NET runtime with your web application Microsoft and Xamarin announced a closer partnership Lots more code analysis in Visual Studio (not […]
I have worked in the past for corporate clients who are still using IE9. So despite IE and IE9 in particular not being that widespread in the wild, for these intranet systems, my apps must support IE9. This is not usually a problem, but I do recall a problem occurring in the past which went […]
