In this post we will look into how we can use iframes to do multi file upload and also how we can use jQuery to communicate between the main document and a specific iframe (among many iframes). So, the scenario here is we have a page with multiple file upload depending upon some data. We will use a repeater to deal with the data and hence we get ‘n’ rows of file upload depending upon the datasource. The iframe elements are kept inside repeater as shown below. Here we will see how we can... Read Full Story

In this post we will look into how can we enable get latest when doing check-outs while using TFS 2008. In case of a general development team where multiple devs are working on a project and modifying different portion of it we cant have exclusive locks most of the time as it restricts the capabilities of parallel or fast sequential development. So, in this type of general scenario we see the requirement of automatic get latest when somebody checks out a file as it would help in later merging... Read Full Story

This is also one of the common problems I faced and looked into how to use not selector and also found that count comes as not expected many a times so whats the reason behind that. Let’s take a look at a generic example page where we have a list of checkboxes inside a table enclosed in a div (you can use any other scenario like a div having a list... Read Full Story

In this post we will look into filling dependent drop down list(s) on client side without using server side asp:dropdownlist control and autopostback, which is the common way we see around. We will be using jQuery at the front end to do the drop down list marp-up generation and adding data to it. We will be using WebMethod to retrieve JSON data from the server where we can return simple data types or any Enumerable data types like List etc so it fills the regular or common way of server side...
