jquery ui autocomplete - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

For starter I don't think that code you posted above is for asp.net. html TextBox control don't have size and location properties (this is controlled by css class and some css styles). Second, don't you think that placing in a loop with "i" index and appending this index name, give each text box unique name?

Take a look at the properties IsNamingContainer - then tweak how you're adding the text boxes, then FindControl will more than likely look attractive Smile | :)

C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

which one?

End Function

this webservice is works with ajax autocomplete extender but not with jquery
this not gives any error and not call webservice method.

thanks

Did you debug and see the execution flow?

Just a thought, may be the URL provides is not properly formed/resolved.

You have to build and return a json formated string back to the jquery in the client side, and in the jquery, you have to parse the json response(data.d); and populate the textbox.

So your sending to the web service, and perhaps the client is receiving, debug your web service, and test the return value in a json validator before fixing the client side.

I bet this service is returning xml.
Read about json enabled wcf service and use that for this.

I have a textbox with multiline where one can write source code and compile & run it,my requirement is to implement line number like(1,2,3...) in each new line of textbox like program editor.....Thanks & Appreciates for your reply.

A simple hack is to put a listbox to the left of the textbox and display line numbers as items in the list box. Then you change the borders of the list box and the text box to make them appear as a single control.

For more advanced uses, you need to create your own custom control like ICSharpCode.TextEditor[^] or AvalonEdit[^]

There is no direct way or a control that does what you seek. You have to develop your own control for such behavior.

I have got the solution by using jquery plugin...
The below is the link for whole solution:

Hi,

I am new to WCF, but I like to have them in my production project instead of web services because of greater flexibiltity of WCF.

I have this scenario: One WCF that serve 9 client of the same application (on 9 different servers). The WCF build a Barcode ad return a PNG image.

I think that the better configuration is Single instance / Multiple concurrency. I also use Async methods to reduce latency.

Note that the client instance is a singleton shared between users on the same server, maybe a check on channel status is necessary?

Actually I am a little confused reading articles on WCF: some don't talk about Channel state, factory etc. Others articles show checks on channel state and Channel factory everywhere... What I have to do to make this thing work?

Thank you!

NOTE: using framework 3.5

It is a little unclear as to what the setup is.

Are there 9 servers and 9 clients (each running their own instance of WCF)?
Or is there only 1 WCF service and 9 different clients accessing that same instance of the WCF service?

If you are just having the WCF service build an image and do no server side logic, I would remove the WCF service all together.

If there is server side logic, then 1 instance of the WCF service is usually ideal since you only need to update the application in 1 place and the clients all get the functionality (unless the clients require an update as well).

Thank you for your reply.
My configuration is your second one: 1 WCF service for 9 Clients.

There is not much server logic in the WCF, but since is a generic Barcode generator placed in a context where a lot of applications could use it, I think that is a good choice to have it in WCF instead of inside the main project. I will do some benchmatks to understand better if it is an issue or not.

However, my question regards how to use (and consume) wcf: I have to declare simply:

C#

public static BarcodeServiceClient BarcodeServiceClient
        {
            get
            {
                if (_barcodeServiceClient == null)
                {
                    _barcodeServiceClient = new BarcodeServiceClient();
                }
                return _barcodeServiceClient;
            }
        }

OR I have to manage channels?

You shouldn't have to manage channels. You only need to if you are trying to use features of channels.

Look up some basic WCF articles here on CodeProject. You are basically just trying to execute a remote method. That is very straight forward with WCF.

Hey guys,i am having trouble with my application in terms of clearing textboxes when i change my tabs.i have one tabcontainer with 3 tabs namely "Create" "update" "Delete" in my tabcontainer1 .the code i tried:

C#

protected void tabContainer1_ActiveTabChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabContainer1.ActiveTabIndex == 0)
{
txtCompanyname.text="";
}

am i doing something wrong?

also 1 more problem i have is that my gridview is stretching out of my page,any way around this guys?

Thanks Smile | Smile | :)

Your event is probably firing twice, the first one clears the textbox, and the second populates the textbox in onload

You have to seperate code that runs on postback, from code that runs on onload, using

page.ispostback

So when a page loads, if not page.ispostback

When a page postback to the server, if page.ispostback

Hello

yes i think it was firing twice and it clears ,however on that page under the tab i have a place to add info which in turn saves info to my database and its not saving the information entered in the textbox as its clearing before/or when i click "save"(My button).

i coded the textboxes to clear only when the tabs are changed.please help.

Thanks you guys Smile | :)

I know it was firing twice, that's what it does by design in asp.net.

When using the form tag on your webform, and ....

When you click on the tab, a postback is generated to the server, so the page loads again and posts back textboxe values and such to the server, the server responds, and sends back the page, in which the page loads again, and I think the the event fires again.

So on Page.load or the onLoad overide
If you don't check for the postback state, new data will always load over and over and over, wiping out the values set by the user

protected sub page_load
   If !(page.ispostback) {
     'Load Data now
   }
}

And on events such as button clicks,

For the tab, I used the select or swtich statement, so it can be expanded for other values

protected void tabContainer1_ActiveTabChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if (page.ispostback) {
            
        switch (tabContainer1.ActiveTabIndex) {
            case 0:
            txtCompanyname.text="";
            break;

        }

    }
}

I have been working with the MVVM pattern and WPF for some time now and I have a pretty good grasp of it (I think). I am working on an ASP.NET MVC3 project right now and I am really struggling with the ViewModel. Currently I have a datagrid (Actually a telerik grid) that I want to display data in. The data is defect data, and I want to display it's corresponding category and some other stuff.

The data looks like this:

Defect
id | int
categoryId | int
name | varchar

Category
id | int

Brevity. So I want the index to display just the name of defect and the name of the category but when I edit the data in the grid I want to display a dropdown list of all available categories.

What should a VM look like for this? Truthfully I am inundated with so many concepts for web programming that I am really wilting. Unit of Work, Generic Repository, MVC, ViewModel, AutoMapper. I am struggling to find an inclusive example. So many view models that are displayed do not accommodate my pattern needs or they only go with a single table.
