So searching around and I found how to delete it; Change the owner the admin, change the acl’s, then use rmdir from cmd line.

Like so (to whack folder “D:\delete_damnit”);

• Right-click on folder -> Properties -> Security Tab
• Click on Advanced button -> Owner tab
• Edit.. button
• Select Administrators in ‘Change owner to’, check ‘replace owner on subcontainers and objects’
• Open cmd.exe as administrator
• Run ‘cacls D:\delete_damnit /T /e /g Administrators:f’
• Run ‘rmdir /S D:delete_damnit’

Enjoy!

Download the themeswitcher.js and save it locally wherever you like.

Now add the “cookieName” below this to the options defition in the file;

    var options = jQuery.extend({
        loadTheme: null,
        initialText: 'Switch Theme',
        width: 150,
        height: 200,
        buttonPreText: 'Theme: ',
        closeOnSelect: true,
        buttonHeight: 14,
        cookieName: 'jquery-ui-theme',
        cookieExpires: 365,
        onOpen: function () { },
        onClose: function () { },
        onSelect: function () { }
    }, settings);

Now modify where the cookie gets made to use this new “cookieExpires” option (line 49);

        $.cookie(options.cookieName, themeName, { expires: options.cookieExpires });

Know you can either use the default set here (365) or set your own in the initializer in your calling script;

    $('#switcher').themeswitcher({ cookieExpires: 365, path: '/', loadTheme: "Sunny"});

Enjoy!

Put this into the web.config;

Now put this into your global.asax, up top (before all the other routing) is best;

            routes.IgnoreRoute("admin/elmah.axd");
            routes.IgnoreRoute("admin/{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

You don’t have have any controller action setup, the handler builds this on the fly to handle the incomding axd request. Nice and simple.

Enjoy!

So the problem is I wanted to take the View Model and update the ORM model with the modified values from the post, kind of a reverse AutoMapper (or BLToolkit.Mapper).

So a ORM class like this;

    public class Contact
    {
         public int Id { get; set; }
         public string Firstname { get; set; }
         public string Lastname { get; set; }
         // Loads of other properties
    }

And a View Model like this (note the type and name should be “EXACTLY” the same;

    public class ContactModel
    {
         public int Id { get; set; }
         public string Firstname { get; set; }
         public string Lastname { get; set; }
    }

Then with this generic Extension method;

        public static void MergeWith(this T1 primary, T2 secondary)
        {
            foreach (var pi in typeof(T2).GetProperties())
            {
                var tpi = typeof(T1).GetProperties().Where(x => x.Name == pi.Name).FirstOrDefault();
                if (tpi == null)
                {
                    continue;
                }
                var priValue = tpi.GetGetMethod().Invoke(primary, null);
                var secValue = pi.GetGetMethod().Invoke(secondary, null);
                if (priValue == null || !priValue.Equals(secValue))
                {
                    tpi.GetSetMethod().Invoke(primary, new object[] { secValue });
                }
            }
        }

So you make the magic in the Controller (for example) like this;

[Authorize]
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult EditContact(ContactModel model)
    Contact c = Repo.Get<Contact,long>(model.Id);
    c.MergeWith<Contact,ContactModel>(model);
    Repo.Update<Contact>(c);
}

Yea its cheesy, but it works for me

Enjoy!

    var myWidth = 0, myHeight = 0;
    function setWindowSize() {
	if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
		//Non-IE
		myWidth = window.innerWidth;
		myHeight = window.innerHeight;
	} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
		//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
		myWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
		myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
	} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
		//IE 4 compatible
		myWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
		myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
	}
};

An example of using it is like this;

$.fn.colorbox({
    iframe: true,
    open: true,
    href: '/Controller/Action',
    width: myWidth - 40, // just a bit smaller than the window
    height: myHeight - 40 // just a bit smaller than the window
});

Dont forget to bind the window resize to reset your size variables;

$(window).resize(function(e){
    setWindowSize();
});

Enjoy!

Anyhow I needed this to work for my form to function and I was limited on time. So here is what I did to make the submit work with IE8.

1. Remove the “Submit” on the Button and just make it plain button;

2. Add some jQuery magic to submit the first (the outer) form;

$("#Save").click(function() {
    var form = $("form:first").serialize();
        $.ajax({
	    type: "POST",
	    url: "/Tickets/Edit/",
	    data: form,
	    success: function(msg) {
	    window.location = '/Tickets/Details/';
	    }
	});
});

Enjoy!

http://localhost:1234 <- fails

http://ipv4.fiddler:1234 <- works

Enjoy!

ondblClickRow: function(id, rowid) {
    var ret = $("#grid").getRowData(id);
    window.location = '/Clients/Details/' + ret.ClientID;
}

Enjoy!
