Validate form with Ajaxoptions and unobtrusive in partial view - C# Discussion Boards

Thanks, I hadn't seen that, but it assumes that the C++ class is exported by the DLL which was not the case with my DLL.

(The DLL is going to be modified so I can simply import the class methods.)

Hello,

I am developing a simple Windows search application. I will pass the all the search filters (Name, size etc) to Windows explorer using my application. But I am not getting commands or codes to select the 'Sort by' type programmatically in the window that will open.

Is it possible to implement that ?

how are you interacting with Windows explorer ?

I would have thought a better way was to use

C#

string startFolder = @"c:\start dir\";

// Take a snapshot of the file system.
System.IO.DirectoryInfo dir = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(startFolder);

// This method assumes that the application has discovery permissions
// for all folders under the specified path.
IEnumerable<System.IO.FileInfo> fileList = dir.GetFiles("*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);

and then use LINQ to filter fileList

I am interacting with Windows explorer using "Explorer search-ms:" command.

Hello. I was reading today that wherever possible, WPF use hardware-acceleration by taking advantage of Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).

Question is: I am using 3rd party unmanaged library which internally uses GDI+. If I am making my front end in WPF, how much better performance should I expect?

Thanks for anything you share.

This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

How long is a piece of string?

Seriously, it is impossible to answer such a question. The only way to find out is by running tests on different configurations.

It depends on so many factors, including how you host the DLL inside WPF. As it's not a native WPF component, I suspect you're using an ElementHost and that has performance implications.

I have the following View:

C#

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.profile_boxes').click(function () {
            var val = $(this).attr('id');

            $('.profile_boxes').css('background', '#fff');
            $('.profile_boxes').css('border', '1px solid #ededed');

            $("#" + val).css('background', '#f6f6f6');
            $("#" + val).css('border', '1px solid #f55');


            $.ajax({
                url: '@Url.Action("RenderProfilePartials", "NewProfile")',
                data: { 'profile': val },
                cache: false,
                type: "POST",
                dataType: "html",
                success: function (data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
                    console.log(val);
                    $('#profilePartials').html(data);
                },
                error: function (data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
                    console.log(data);
                }
            });
        });
    });
</script>
<div class="centering col-lg-6 logged_in_mainboxes">
    <h2>What are you?</h2>
    <div id="band" class="col-lg-4 profile_boxes">
        <h3>Band</h3>
    </div>
    <div id="musican" class="col-lg-4 profile_boxes">
        <h3>Musican</h3>
    </div>
    <div id="regular" class="col-lg-4 profile_boxes">
        <h3>Regular</h3>
    </div>

    @Html.ValidationSummary(false)

    <div id="profilePartials">

    </div>
</div>

When you click on either Band, Musician or Regular, I partial view Is renderd:

HTML

<div id="band_info" class="col-lg-9 profileDesc">
        <p>Maybe some information about the band profile here.....</p>
        @using (Ajax.BeginForm("RegisterBand", "NewProfile", new AjaxOptions() { HttpMethod = "Post" }))
        {
            @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
            <div class="form-horizontal">
                <div class="form-group">
                    Bandname
                    <div class="col-md-10">
                        @Html.EditorFor(x => x.Name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group">
                    Coverpicture
                    <div class="col-md-10">
                        @Html.EditorFor(x => x.CoverPicture, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.CoverPicture, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group">
                    Description
                    <div class="col-md-10">
                        @Html.EditorFor(x => x.Description, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.Description, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
                        <input type="submit" value="Spara" class="btn btn-success" />
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        }
</div>

Now I want to validate this forms with Ajaxoptions and unobtrusive. But when I hit Submit, the page Is reloaded and the partial views returned back.

I want it not reload, I want to make the validation without the reload.

Here Is my controller:

C#

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RegisterBand(BandProfileModel model)
{

    if (ModelState.IsValid == false)
    {
        return PartialView("_BandRegisterPartial", model);
    }


    return View("Index");
}

I have enabled unobtrusive in web.config and all that stuff.

Anyone who can help me?

Then please use the proper forum, possibly ASP.NET Discussion Boards - CodeProject[^] or JavaScript Discussion Boards - CodeProject[^].

Other than manually setting up 64 ‘truth tables’, is there a more efficient method of finding the squares on a chessboard that a queen can not get too, given the queen is placed at random on the chessboard?

Depends on your interpretation of "efficient" and the whole scenario. If the queen is not the only piece on the board then you would have to check for "collisions" in any case. Calculating the fields that it can get to and then taking the complement of that would be my first approach.

If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. — Lyall Watson

Hi Sascha, The good news is if the queen can not get to a certain square, then “collisions” will not be an issue. I really did not want to have to recalculate the fields each time a queen is placed on the chessboard. I am still leaning toward sets of truth tables, but was wondering if there an easier method. Thanks for your post.

I'd say that the queen can't get to any square that isn't at a 45 degree angle. Meaning any square that isn't on one of these angles 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, or 270 from the current position. Assuming you want to bring some math into the calculation.

Edit: Not sure this is more efficient. I think I'd set up an 8x8 grid and flag where she can get. What is not flagged is where she can't get.

Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

Hi Ron, I have no problem with the same file / rank / diagonal for the queen being on. Just wanted to eliminate having to process that scenario if I can quickly eliminate her not being able to get to the square I am currently interested in. Thanks for your reply.

It depends on what you want to do with the "truth tables".

What do you call "manually setting" ?

Patrice

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” Albert Einstein

Hi ppolymorphe. "manually setting" is not the right verbiage I should have used. I would write an algorithm which would generate 64 tables, each table consisting of 8X8 squares. The queen is placed on square 1 for the first table… and so forth until the last table… she is placed on square 64.
Each table has Boolean true/false squares. All I have to do is looked at the correct table depending what square she is on and the square I am interested in would return the correct Boolean value.
Thanks for your reply.

Once all tables prepared, there is nothing faster than loading the table.

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” Albert Einstein

Hi ppolymorphe. I will now have to write an algorithm is generate these tables. Nothing easy but doable. 64 bytes X 64 bytes: I will stick them in memory.

Bits might be more efficient: 64 bits fits in a single machine word on most machines these days, and the conversion from coordinates to mask is trivial:

C#

long bitmask = ((long)1) << ((y << 3) + x);

Where x and y are integer coordinates.

Thanks OriginalGriff, I will try that and see how it works.

You're welcome!

It's not so bad, as suggested you can use bitboards (which will be useful when using them too, giving trivial intersection tests and so on), and because this is chess, this is all already known: chessprogramming - On an empty Board[^] gives the initialization routines for various attack masks, you can combine them here because you don't need the separate components.

Thanks Harold, I did not realize how extensive bit tables are being used.

Hi
I want to add a session in the webMethod. but it ignores it totally

C#

[WebMethod (EnableSession = true)]
        public string GetTasksCountWebMethod()
        {
            int result;
            
            if (Session["tasks"] == "" || Session["tasks"]==null)
            {
         //somecode
                Session["tasks"] = result.ToString();
                return result.ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                return Session["tasks"].ToString();
            }
           
        }

Thanks

How do you know it ignores it? I assume Session["tasks"] is null? Check Session.SessionID. Also, how are you calling the webmethod?
