Hi,

I tried to find the various settings for the startmode in app.config file.

There is apparently, "Console" and "Services". I tried researching this and could not find any listings for it. Are there any other settings?

XML

<setting name="Startmode" serializeAs="String">
                <value>Console</value>

If the application is set to "Console", then we cannot have this running as a service at the same time? Does this sound about right?

Thanks so much for your time.

That looks like an application-specific setting, not something built-in to the framework. You'll need to look at the documentation or source of the application to find out what the available settings are.

guys;
I've got a <div /> that has a z-index value of 999, but it lays over an <ol /> with z-index=1000.
I just want to know what the reason can be, because this is so confusing.

thanks in advance;

Without seeing your code in your css file I would guess you do not have the "position" set for the elements.

Then maybe you didn't set the position for the div? Try adjusting that to say relative to see what it does. It always helps to just experiment with css settings to see what happens. I would also suggest searching google for help on positioning as it can be confusing and hard to understand. Some elements do not respond to anything you do which would be learned in online articles.

IE11 web development tools broken?

Chris Maunder4-Oct-13 15:54

Chris Maunder

4-Oct-13 15:54

Is it just me or are the IE11 (on Win7) Web Developer tools completely broken?

I'm trying to change attributes on an existing element and each time I try and add a CSS rule to an element in the CSS window it just puts a line through it an ignores it. So I then right click on the element and choose "Edit as HTML", but there's no "Get out of Edit mode" button I can see, so I randomly click until it pops out of HTML edit mode, and sometimes loses my changes. When I do manage to get the attribute added it doesn't seem to take effect.

And let's not mention how often the dev tools seem to hang or just crash.

The only add-in I have is Silverlight.

Is it just me?

cheers,

You could start with either Java based or .Net based development.
There are other options as well for e.g. PHP which could help you achieve this task.

If you are good at scripting languages PHP may not be a bad choice.

Do you mean a file input with a file type specific open file dialog?!!
if so, then you can handle onchange event to reject undesired file types instead, as i don't think there is a suck thing.

No, Sir;
I mean the java script event of the file input. Look;

JavaScript

$('input[type=file]').change(function(){
    var fileInput = $(this);
    var fileName = fileInput.val();
    var extention = fileName.subString(fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
    
    // to do handle the extension values.

});

Migrating app from WCSF to normal web forms?

jimojimo3-Oct-13 4:09

jimojimo

3-Oct-13 4:09

Hi all,
I have an inherited app which was built with WCSF framework. It is a smaller app, way, way to small and simple to need the massive bulk of WCSF. I want to migrate to a normal webforms app.

I've managed to strip out most of the unneeded views, etc, and converted all pages and Masterpages to System.Web.UI.Page/MasterPage rather than the Practices Microsoft.Practices.CompositeWeb.Web.UI.Page

The site works fine with the exception of Global.cs, which still needs to inherit Microsoft.Practices.CompositeWeb.WebClientApplication
instead of HttpWebApplication. If I try to have global.cs use HttpWebApplication, the Shell and other modules don't inititalize, which *only* affects the Shell module and a few others that only deal with the sitemap and authorization.

I'd like to get rid of those modules and be able to completely remove all references to the Microsoft practices librarys. Partly due to the excess bulk, but partly due to the fact that anything I google on WCSF has a huge disclaimer "This is no longer supported...it is garbage and we at Microsoft disown it completely and are sorry we ever foisted it upon you" (or something to that effect).

Has anyone else gone down this road and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
James

Bring HTML element to top (cascading)

Hello! I'm trying to bring DOM element (div) with position: absolute to front of others elements with same positioning. All elements are placed in the same container with position: relative. So I'm trying to reach similar behavior as desktop windows have when they are cascading.

I know about these approaches:
1. Using z-index. Manually increment it and manage what is the highest.
2. Removing element from DOM container and appending it back to the end.

Please, advice any other approaches or what from these ones is the best (especially from UX and performance point of view).

Thanks!
