Result

Result will be the object: { Id: 4, Name: ‘Name4’ }

Merge / Flatten / Concat / Join the result of multiple ajax calls with promises.

Uncategorized Leave a comment

 

The following code will add a function to the jQuery ($).

It can be used to merge the result of multiple ajax calls.

 

$.whenall = function ($promises)
{
/// <summary>
/// Executes the given promises and merges the result to one array.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="promises" type="array">Array of jQuery promises.</param>
/// <returns>A promise.</returns>
// promises: is aan array of promises.
return $.when.apply($, promises).then(function ()
{
// Convert the special "arguments" object to a real "Array".
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
// When the promisses array contains just one element, [args] will be an array containing 3 records: ["array of items", "promises status", "promise"].
// When the promisses array contains more then one element, [args] will be an array of arrays, where each array 3 records: ["array of items", "promises status", "promise"].
// This is handled by only handeling args items that are of type "Array" and foreach handled "Array", we check if the first item is of type "Array".
var merged = [];
for (var i = 0, len = args.length; i < len; i++)
{
var record = args[i];
// Only handle args items, that are of type "Array".
if (record && Array.isArray(record) && record.length > 0)
{
// Check if first item is of type "Array".
var firstItem = record[0];
if (Array.isArray(firstItem))
{
merged = merged.concat(firstItem);
} else
{
merged = merged.concat(record);
}
}
}
return merged;
});
};

Result

The arguments is an “array” of 2 objects, each object containing “data”, “promise status”, “promise”.

The merged result is an real array containing the merged “data” objects:

Fix: JSCS: The requireLeftStickedOperators rule is no longer supported.

Uncategorized 2 Comments

After an update of web essentials I was getting the error:

23-6-2014 08:02:04: JSCS: vctmp6788_81613.js compilation failed: JSCS: The requireLeftStickedOperators rule is no longer supported.
Please use the following rules instead:

disallowSpaceBeforeBinaryOperators
disallowSpaceBeforePostfixUnaryOperators
disallowSpacesInConditionalExpression

 

 

To fix this just edit the global JSCS settings file in Visual Studio 2013:

Then remove the line: "requireLeftStickedOperators": [","],

 

{
"requireCurlyBraces": ["if", "else", "for", "while", "do", "try", "catch"],

Fix table-cell height overflow-y (scroll) in a CSS 3 full page 100% height layout

Uncategorized 6 Comments

 

If you are using display: table, display: table-row and display: table-cell in CSS to structure your HTML, then restricting the height of a content cell is difficult. If you want to have a content cell scroll correctly vertically, when the content of a cell exceeds the height of the table, like cell 2 in the following screen dump:

 

image

 

Then you can use a “relative” positioned div inside the table-cell and in the relative positioned div a absolute positioned div. This div should get the overflow-y property, like:

<div class="table" style="height: 100%;">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell" style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 10px;">Cell 1</div>
<div class="cell" style="border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 10px;">
<!-- Use inner div's with position relative and absolute, to fix cell height,
making it overflow correctly. -->
<div style="position:relative; height: 100%">
<div style="overflow-y: scroll; position: absolute; top: 0; right:0; bottom: 0; left: 0;">

How to fix: top row border is invisible, when highlighting the borders of a row using display table and display table-row in CSS.

Uncategorized Leave a comment

If you want to highlight the borders of a row, when using display table and display table-row, like:

 

image

 

You must style the row bottom, left and right borders, but for the top border you need to style the cells, otherwise the top border of the row will not show, for rows that have other rows before it.

How to do basic two-way html element data binding with Kendo UI.

Uncategorized Leave a comment

To see the code in action, see this Plunker: http://plnkr.co/SpYSwv

 

The following HTML page shows a input box.

When the users start typing in the input box the SPAN element next to it will show the value just entered (onkeypress).

I wanted to check-in a file, that was check-out by myself on an other pc.

 

You can revert those changes by using the tf.exe.

Open a command prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE"

tf undo /workspace:"MYPC;MYDOMAIN\rlisdonk" /collection:http://1.1.1.1:8080/tfs/MyCollection $/MyProduct/Main/Source/MyProject/Staging.cs

Note: Spaces in Visual Studio project folder names will be converted to underscores ("_") in embeded resouce name, but spaces in filenames not.

Uncategorized Leave a comment

 

If you have an embedded resource file, like:

 

image

 

The embedded resource filename will be:

 

Research.UnitTests.Folder_path_with_spaces.Text file with spaces.txt

 

The spaces in the foldername will be replaced by underscores (“_”), see Folder_path_with_spaces .

But the filename will contain spaces, see Text file with spaces.txt
