Has it ever happened to you that when a .NET application is endorsed to you, that you need to run a dozen of apps and services just to see what the application is about. Database, Website, APIs, Configuration Credentials, etc. And then you go to the next concern, WHERE DO I RUN THESE THINGS? should i use my extra laptop? or my desktop? should i use my current development machine?

Enter Windows Azure ( Window’s Cloud Computing Service ). Azure offers you all the machines, services, apis that you will need.

Have you had problems in Javascript ajax calls where in you dont know if all calls have been finished or not?

Have you met some untraceable errors in your js code and later on found out that it was because an AJAX call was still running and the values from it has not loaded yet?

Enter   ajaxStart()  and ajaxStop …. this attaches an event for any AJAX call still running and if it has stopped.

 function updateBookingDetails() {

     var isvalid = $(‘form’).valid();

     if (isvalid) {

         var URL = ‘/BookingsManagement/AjaxUpdateBooking’;

         //load gif image
         $(“#divLoadingImage”).html(‘<center><img id=”imgLoading” src=”/Content/images/common/loading-image.gif”  /></center>’);

         var form = $(‘form’);
         var formCollection = form.serialize();

         $.post(URL, formCollection,
               function (response, status, xhr) {

                   $(“#divLoadingImage”).html(response);
                   showToast();

                   //redirect to Main Booking Grid if hidden field ‘BookingResult’ = true
                   if ($(“#BookingResult”).val() == “true”) {

                       //delay
                       setTimeout(function () {
                           window.location = “/BookingsManagement”;
                       }, 3000);


                   }
               },
               “html”
         );
     }
 }

usually, when we want to map 2 objects with same properties, we set a.key1 = b.key2 , a.key2 = b.key2 , so on….

there’s a class in .NET that makes this easier … System.Reflection

so in your C# class, put a  using System.Reflection

then do something like below in your method. Mine is a sample where I am updating a class name SiteFeatures. Parameter is also of the same class, and I also have the id.

CODE STARTS HERE

public bool Edit(SiteFeature aSiteFeature, int id)
        {
            try
            {
                SiteFeature item = context.SiteFeatures.Where(b => b.SiteFeatureID == id).SingleOrDefault();

                if (item != null)
                {
                    // Iterate the Properties of the destination instance and
                    // populate them from their source counterparts
                    PropertyInfo[] destinationProperties = item.GetType().GetProperties();
                    foreach (PropertyInfo destinationPI in destinationProperties)
                    {
                        //dont include index PK
                        if (destinationPI.Name == “SiteID”) continue;
                        PropertyInfo sourcePI = aSiteFeature.GetType().GetProperty(destinationPI.Name);
                        destinationPI.SetValue(item, sourcePI.GetValue(aSiteFeature, null), null);

                    }

                    context.SaveChanges();
                }

                return true;

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return false;
            }

        }

CODE ENDS HERE

I saw these 2 questions in a registration form which is uniquely Pinoy:

1. Who is the King of Comedy?

2. What is larger than McDo?

Eh di Pinoy lang makakasagot nito diba?
