StringBuilder in ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 Client Library

Category: AJAX-ATLASBil@l @ 09:59

I was surprised to know that in the new ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 Client Library, a new data type has been added which is the StringBuilder. As you know either in C# or VB.NET, when you are concatinating a large number of strings, each time you concat a string to another string, a new memory location is being assigned to the resulting string. However, when using a StringBuilder the same instance of the StringBuilder is used to append more and more strings.

This also applies on the extended JavaScript provided by the AJAX Client Library, so now you can write somethnig as this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var sb = new Sys.StringBuilder();
    sb.appendLine("Hello World");
    sb.appendLine("ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 Extensions are great");
    sb.append("A new line added without a break line using append!!");
   
    alert(sb.toString());
</script>

In the code above a new instance of Sys.StringBuilder class has been instantiated!! You can use the append and appendLine method to add text to the StringBuilder object. Also, you can use the toString() method to get the text out of the StringBuilder just as you do in C# or VB.NET!!

Hope this helps,
regards

I hate VPCs

Category:Bil@l @ 20:13

I was working this evening on my laptop when I closed the top of it --> the laptop went to hibernate. At that moment I had the VPC 2007 open with a Visa OS on it.

When I tried to open the VPC again, I got an error saying:

A disk error occured. Press cltr+alt+del to restart

Up till this moment I don't know what went wrong and how to fix that.

Any help please?
Thanks

HttpModules and IIS 7

When working with an ASP.NET Web Application under Vista/IIS 7 and developing an HttpModule, watch out for the Application pool you are using. If your application is configured to work with classic application pool, then it is enough to define the module within the httpModules section as:

<httpModules>
       <add name="MyModule" type="MyModule" />
</httpModules>

If however, you have configured your web application to work with Default Application Pool (i.e. integrated mode), then you should add another entry to your web.config file as follows:

    <!--
  The system.webServer section is required for running ASP.NET AJAX under Internet
  Information Services 7.0. It is not necessary for previous version of IIS.
 -->
    <system.webServer>
        <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
        <modules>
                <add name="MyModule" preCondition="integratedMode" type="MyModule" />
        </modules>
    </system.webServer> 

 

Thanks for my friend Wessam for hinting this to me!!
