Returning Data To Client-side Autocomplete Query?
Jan 28, 2010
I'm using a JQuery plugin [URL] to add auto-completion to a "city" textfield. The component calls an ASP.NET page that simply loads an array of all possible city values (>8000) and then iterates that array returning those that start with the text the user has so far entered.
The thing is, it's pretty slow in real use. It lags behind what the user types to the extent that most of the time the user probably won't notice that it's there.
So, my question is, how can I speed it up?
I had thought that an array would be a better way to go than putting the data in a database and having to hit that multiple times. Do others agree that having this information hard-coded is the way to go given that it's not at all volatile and needs to be all about speed of return?
If so, what would you look at to improve the speed of performance? Should I be caching the data on application start and accessing it from memory? Would I be better off instead with multiple arrays, each containing values starting with a particular letter so I can go straight to the relevant one and thus iterate a much smaller array? Or am I missing a much more obvious way to go about this?

I have a page that downloads a dataset and streams the output to an Excel file by modifying the response headers.
I want to write an AJAX call on the client side that can display a modaldialog while the file is being generated and dismiss the modaldialog when the file has been fully rendered.
I can turn the dalog on when the user clicks a link, but for some reason my pages return readystate 4 and status 200 prematurely. (These are the codes that say the page is done)
Because this is happening, either the modal dialog is dismissed immediately or I need the user to dismiss it.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this an issue with streaming a file instead of hitting a physical page?
Does anyone have a work-around, or will I need to have the user manually dismiss the dialog?

I'm designing a page which makes an ajax call (via jQuery.ajax) to a page method on the server side.On the server side, I have two classes: Agent and Channel.
In the page method, I'd like to return a List<Agent> and a List<Channel> to the client side. How can I return two lists to client side? should wrap them up in one class like:

I have a user control which contains a CustomValidator which is used according to whether a RadioButton is checked or not (there are several RadioButtons, I'm only showing the relevant one)
<asp:RadioButton runat="Server" ID="RadioBetween" GroupName="DateGroup" CssClass="date_group_options_control_radio" />
[code]...
There is some client + server side validation code (the server side code does exactly the same thing and is skipped for brevity)
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateDateFields_Client(source, args) [code]...
There are two instances of this control in the page. When running the client side version it hits the wrong one (the version of the control which is disabled). You can see from the generated HTML both are correctly specified. I'm not sure how .NET works out which clientside function to call given they both have the same name.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator = document.all ? document.all["ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator"] : document.getElementById("ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator");
[code]...
Do i need to add something in to scope it? What's the best way to achieve this? If I disable the loading of the second control everything works fine.

I'm using an entity model with metadata annotations. My controller method looks like this...
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
else
{
UpdateModel(model);
repo.Save();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
If I enable client side validation in the view I'll get the error per the Attributes from the metadata class. If I take clientside validation out, error gets thrown from saving to the DB rather than return the view with an Error Summary.
This is the top portion of my view....
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
{%>
<%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>
I've tried running without debugging (ctrl + f5) in debug and release mode as well as setting breakpoints and Debugging (f5) but it just seems weird to get Client side validation without server side validation. What am I missing here?

I have been trying for two months to get this code working, and I am close, but still confused. I want the JQuery UI Autocomplete function to call an web service which returns JSON data and display that data for selection, and on selection put the selected value into a hidden field.
There are several issues:
1) The autocomplete function is not firing
2) The source: "/AutoSuggest.asmx/DOTFind?" line throws an invalid object exception
3) The service requires two parameters: (string prefixText, int count) - count tells it how many records to return.
4) I am not at all certain that this code will accept JSON data that comes back from the service
Here is the code:

I have a search box on a web application that is to use a query I have built in Access to search through projects to find any that are related to the text entered in the search box.
The query in Access is just made up of parameters that use wildcards to search through all the fields. In Access the query works fine and returns the correct data but when I try and link this all up to a ListView in Visual Studio, the ListView just diplays the message "No data was returned"
Below is my page-behind code, hopefully you can see why it is not working but it looks like it should work to me.

I am facing a big problem with simple linq query.. I am using EF 4.0..
I am trying to take all the records from a table using a linq query:
var result = context.tablename.select(x=>x);
This results in less rows than the normal sql query which is select * from tablename;
This table has more than 5 tables as child objects (foreign key relations: one to one and one to many etc)..
This result variable after executing that linq statement returns records with all child object values without doing a include statement.. I don't know is it a default behavior of EF 4.0 . I tried this statement in linqpad also..but there is no use... But interesting thing is if I do a join on the same table with another one table is working same is sql inner join and count is same..but I don't know why is it acting differently with that table only.. Is it doing inner joins with all child tables before returning the all records of that parent table?

Suppose I'm building a StackOverflow clone using webforms ASP.NET and jQuery. The Question page has a question, several answers, and comments under each. Requirements:Users can post new answers and comments, and edit existing ones, without postbacks. No UpdatePanels; the AJAX calls retrieve just the JSON they need, not HTML fragments. The page loads with all existing answers and comments in place (no javascript needs to run to read the page).
What I'm trying to figure out is how to do this without having to maintain two sets of markup (one that's bound on the client using some form of jQuery templating, and one that's bound on the server using traditional WebForms).

HidRowNumber.Value = EFileRowNumber.Text;
Javscript
var status = document.getElementById("<%= HidRowNumber.ClientID %>").value;
When I am debugin it say it HidRowNumber's Value has changed to x but when I access the value with JS it always returns ''.

I've got two textboxes running server side and have their visibility turned off. I'm using a couple of ASP.NET controls which require the textboxes to exist. However, I am filling them from the code behind and would not like the user to see this. Can the user turn the visibility on and see the values entered in the text box? I tried using FireBug, and I couldn't seem to select the visibility option in order to edit it. However, I'm quite new to Firebug, so there may be another way? Or does running it server side mean that the client can't ever view the contents of the textbox?

I have a list of items on an ASP.net page. That list is selectable in that whenever the user clicks on one, the page does a postback and the server code stores the index or some unique identifier of the picture in a ViewState property indicating that it is currently selected.
I would like to minimize the load on the server and therefore I would like to store the index or unique identifier representing the image in some way on the client side. The best way I can think to do this is to store said information in a hidden field ), however I had two questions about this before I go crazy:
Is this a security risk in any way, shape or form (i.e., exposing implementation details of the page)?
Is there a better/best way to do this that is more industry-standard? Does ASP.net provide a framework to do this that is cleaner than my idea? Seems like this would be a fairly common requirement to me...

in a form i have a buttoin, when click both OnclientClick and postback should happen. on clicking the "Email" button a client side "mailto" tag should do the work and pull a new message window on the client's machine.
whereas, the email addresses should be invoked by the post back. so , when clicking the button the server side post should happen and on return the client side script should be invokded with the values read during post back, and populate all the email addresses.
i need know how to first do a server hit take the values and then execute the client script with those values without using AJAX
