Jquery - Poor Mans Asynch "Please Wait..." Animation?
Nov 3, 2010
I have a page that, jQuery will automatically click the "Run Report" button under certain conditions. So, when the user goes to the page via the menu, they wait for x seconds and the results are returned. This works great...However, I want to add an animation because some users are not aware anything is going on and I also would like to just show a spinner. The application is not yet "Ajaxified" and may never be. So I thought of a poor-mans way of doing it.I have a div that has text and an image in it. That div has a class on that that simply does display: none; The same jQuery that clicks the button I also have it using the .toggleClass method to now Show the div.
This works great AND the report runs and eventually returns the data and since at that point the page is refreshed, the div gets hidden again and all is right in the world.My problem is, the image shows but does not animate. I tried to put it Before the click hoping that would happen and start its thing Then the click even to start the waiting would occur.Is there anything I can do to force the Gif to animate?
I have code that when i press a button an image starts to annimat. But when the page is finished loading the image resets. Is this a server issue? and how can i fix it.
How can I use JQuery to be able to show some kind of "Please wait"-dialog when a user clicks a button? I want to be able to show for example an alert saying "Your request is being transmitted" while the request is sent to the server and processed through the controller (I use MVC). Once the response comes back, I want to reload the page with the viewmodel returned from controller action, just as usual. Is this possible to do with JQuery or ASP.NET AJAX?
function Save() { alert("Please wait); //make the request async and reload the page when it returns... }
I have a button that needs to check if a contact exists.I have used the Jquery ajax function to do this and I do successfully gind out if the contact exists or not.However I cannot find a way for the javascript code to wait until the ajax has finished so I can return true/false to the button for it to continue server side function. I.e.
i have some dynamic buttons getting displayed on a condition. after certain time i want to put some animation on the buttons without any event. for example if the time is passed 10 mins then the color of the buttons change and also i need to give some animation on the buttons.
Any one has got a working example for the OnHoverOver and OnHoverOut animations ?I have tried one but it's not perfectly working, as I don't know how to change the position of the Popup panel or resize it !! and I still can see a grey shadow before my popup panel appears..it's weird... Here is my code :
I have a page that takes a long time to load because it utilizing multiple user controls. Is there a way where I can display a wait animation during the page loading utilizing JQuery? I'm a newbie to Jquery and client side development
I've had a look around to see if this has been answered, and there are many similiar questions here but none that match the problem I'm having, so here goes.
I have a jQuery animation that runs on all pages. It works fine on all pages except those with a .NET Update Panel. The items that are animated are not part of the Update Panel at all, they have nothing to do with it.
When I click on the button that triggers the animation in question, it doesn't do anything. It gets called alright (a quick alert("clicked!"); proved that) but it simply doesn't do anything. It sometimes looks as though it's trying, but failing, but there are no JavaScript errors reported.
From other similiar questions and answers here, people have suggested using jQuery's .live() and also the PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest() but none of these are valid here, as the items are outside of the Update Panel. (I've also given them a try, just in case!)
it appears that clicking the button that causes the animation is actually causing the update panel to reload, am not sure why as they're all set to conditional and have triggers associated with them.
I have a slide in div to display some dynamic data after button submit in it. If you open the div after page load it displays with message "Click on button".
But after submitting the slide effects stops immediately and not responding at all & even message is not updating in jquery slide box. Below is my code:
Public result As String = "" Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load If Not Page.IsPostBack Then result = "Click on button"
I need to have a stack of 10 text lines, possibly div's, and insert a line arbitrarily somehere in the list. In addition I'd like to fade in a highlight (for the new line) and fade out.Is MSFT AJAX the correct tool to use for this?
I'm having a bit of trouble cancelling an asynch postback. I have an update panel with an update progress which contains a cancel button so that the user can cancel the postback. When the user clicks a button to generate a report the update progress is shown. The report can take a bit of time as it has to loop through a thousand or so times creating an excel spreadsheet. If the user decides to cancel running the report for any reason then they can click the cancel button which I then call abortPostBack() in javascript which stops the update progress and the page is shown again. However, the user can't do anything else like navigate to another page as the server is still processing the loop. How would I stop the loop on the server processing when the user has clicked the cancel button?

I'm using iTextSharp to print a PDF document. Everything goes ok until I have to print the company logo in it.
First I noticed that the logo had poor quality, but after testing with several images, I realize that was the iTextSharp rendering it poorly.The test I did to say this was to print the PDF using my code and then edit the document with Acrobat 8.0 and I drew an image. Then printed the two documents and saw the noticeable difference.My question is that if anyone know if this can be due to a scaling problem where I'm failing to tell iTextSharp how it must render the image or is an iTextSharp limitation.
The code to render the image is the following:
[Code]....
The method ResizeImage() do the resizing of the width and height respecting the aspect ratio and keeping in a max width and a max height limits.
I have been asked to join a very small team where one main developer has been buiding the web app (.NET 4.0) during ~6 months. The project should be delivered within next 2 months.
After first look at the code I can say that I would never allow it to go to production (things like catch { }, no tests at all with WebForms etc).
So the code quality is incredibly low.
My task is to improve that and still deliver the solution. So I plan to start with unit testing and MVC2 reimplementing most of the functionality (though using some of the existing code).
I estimate that I will need about 6 weeks to catch up with the current progress and be on te same functionality level as the application will be in 6 weeks.
The problem is that the main developer who has been working on the project seems to be really starting in IT and many basic things are unknown to him. It will take significant amount of time and effort to educate him how to do the proper testing, development and apply some patterns.
I am ready to take responsibility for the reimplemnting the application but at the same time I don't want the main developer to be on idle but as he won't be able to significantly contribute to the better-world project at this stage I am not sure what would the best way to keep productivity high for both of us.
Currently I think following solution is good enough: He proceeds doing what he does until I will catch up with him and then start working on a new project together.
The problem is that of course this approach is not very productive as one developer will do better-world project while the other will proceed with what he did, effectively doing similar tasks.
Another approach would be to pair and try to do things together, but again not sure how productive we will be.
Can you suggest how we could better organise the work together in order to be most efficient for the overall project?
I have developed a application using Visual Studio 2008 and SQLServer 2008. I have a page called "Billing Center" where i need to display more than 500 records in a gridview and the gridview has sorting enabled. If i limit the page size upto 10 only the gridview performs well but user requirement is to view atleast 500 records at once which is slowing down the gridview record retrieval process.
I am using the following C# code in code behind to sorting, paging and retrieval . Please guide me what am i doing wrong in this code and how to make it work with large data set.
I am using Reporting Services to render a report directly to PDF. It requires that I use two web references: ReportExecution2005.asmx and ReportService2005.asmx. The performance on web references seems really poor. Since my web server (IIS7) and my SQL Server (2008) are on the same box, is there a way I can reference them directly? If not is there any way I can explicitly cache them or something. First load is really really slow, second load is perfectly acceptable.
1. How can I create a delay in C#.I know Thread.Sleep(0) but it is blocking my GUI.2. Also I need to pause the execution of the normal flow until a function return a result.
I'm currently using ASP.net. I wonder what would I need to do to let the browser wait for 3 seconds so my users can read the text "Customer Successfully Added" before turning to another page? I have attached my code as follows.
Protected Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click Dim db As New DatabaseClass db.addProfile(txtLN.Text, txtFN.Text, txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, txtAddress.Text, txtZip.Text, txtPhone.Text, txtEmail.Text) lblMessage.Text = "Customer Successfully Added" End Sub
In addition, I'm not sure how to utilize MSDN. For me, its information overload, I'm wondering how to go about finding the solution on MSDN so i would be able to solve my problems in the future.
how to create a popup box that is used as a wait box? This box has a circle in the middle that has a pointer that changes colors and spins when waiting for the next window or page to appear.Is this AJAX or a programming option?
i am calling a function which is creating a PDf. now i want to wait that function to call untill the pdf get created for 10 seconds. My code is something like this

after that i want to open the pdf automatically in new window. I can do this but how can i put this function to wait untill PDF get created,
I have a sql stored procedure that runs for about 3 minutes, I am looking to execute this stored procedure from asp.net, but I know that if I do, that asp.net will most likely time out.
I'm thinking of just creating a job within sql to have it execute that stored procedure, and have asp.net call a stored procedure to call that job. I have a table that is updated when the stored procedure starts, and when it ends.
My application will use this to determine when the script has finished, however, I wanted to know if there is another way to run the stored procedure and not have it wait for it to finish to push a response back.
I just want to know if there is a more efficient way to do this, or if I should just stick to creating jobs for scripts that take forever to run.
