Refresh the Jquery Css for a HTML control using knockout in Javascript.

If you are a JavaScript developer then you might have come across a situation where you load your HTML controls after the page load has happen, which is like dynamic binding of controls.

And then you see your input type text doesn't have the proper Css as other inputs.

You also load select (dropdown) that also doesn't have the proper css.

You are in chrome and press F-12 to inspect the element, you see that nothing is there in control, it is not applying the JQuery css.

But the controls that are loaded in page load have it.

What to do, no options just to manually copy the CSS classes.

VERY BAD IDEA?

Just do this,

In HTML

<input type="date" data-bind="inputsRefresh: $element, value: $data.EndDate" />

and in JS binding handler





        ko.bindingHandlers.inputsRefresh = {
            init: function (element) {
                $(element).textinput().trigger('create');
            }

        };


Its only good if you are using knockout, you can thank me later. ;)

Convert your datatable into generic poco object in c# using linq, ado and reflections.

Follow @harshit_parshii The most common problem that we face these days is to create a common class and method that can be used across all the projects and codes. So today I will be sharing my code where you can see how to make and create a generic function without using entity framework for ado. net. The scenario is like you have an old software that uses stored procedure to return set of entities as a data-table, you do not want to re-write the back-end code as you are creating a web API in c# which needs to be delivered asap. You need to map these data tables to models as you might be using MV* pattern. So here we will be doing one to one mapping of model to data- table, and in similar fashion insert or update can also be done. So basically we are converting a data-table to list of strongly typed object model to do CRUD operations. So we have following things before hand. A helper class is referenced as the database(dbFactory) which executes ado. ne...

Run CSS specific to Internet Explorer - Browser Hack

Run CSS specific to Internet Explorer - Browser Hack Referencing to the following blog post, we are going to make CSS targeting exclusively to IE browser, to make it work first we should know what are media queries. A media query consists of a media type and at least one expression that limits the style sheets' scope by using media features, such as width, height, and color. Media queries, added in CSS3, let the presentation of content be tailored to a specific range of output devices without having to change the content itself. For Ex: < style > @media (max-width : 600px) { .facet_sidebar { display : none ; } } So below we will wrap the IE specific CSS rules in @media blocks and trick IE into rendering @media blocks that use media queries. Targeting only IE browsers Style rules defined in the following blocks will only be applied in IE, other browsers will ignore them. IE 6 and 7  @media screen\9 {     body { background: red; ...
