Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScrip

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:47:52 GMT

If you are getting this error, this means you are conceptually doing wrong somewhere.Ideally ajax scenarios are meant only for small to medium server side calls not for getting tons of data, and if you are getting a lot of data using the asynchronous request then you are asking for trouble.So in such scenarios it is best to go and implement server side logic.But what if you are at a stage where you can't change your application logic now

Asp.net & IIS Tricks:- Using GZip Compression with IIS 6.0 to compress

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 01:37:04 GMT

In this article i will discuss how to enable gzip compression for the dynamic content.After following these steps you can enable compression for your aspx pages and other dynamic content. But you have to be careful while compressing the dynamic content.I would suggest you to use the dynamic compression only when although you are using asp.net but most of your webpages are more likely to be static with only few of them changing now and then. This is due to the reason that compression brings in overhead on the server CPU and memory.So if the content is so much dynamic that it keeps on changing with every request its not at all advisable to use the compression for your dynamic pages. Instead you can use gzip compression for your static pages such as html,css and js files. But if your dynamic content is also near about static then you can use gzip compression provided as a built in feature of windows and IIS 6,by default it is not enabled here in this article we will go through the steps to enable the gzip compression scheme.

Jquery And Regular Expressions,Trick #1:- Selecting all the tags match

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:08:10 GMT

Jquery And Regular Expressions,Trick #1:- Selecting all the tags matching some string or having a particular string in its id or classname. This trick will come very handy for the server controls which sometimes emit their own id's while rendering the equivalent HTML.Most of the server controls append the id of their parent server control container. So while working with asp.net it becomes a tedious task to catch all those id's which are different from their actual id's which we gave using the 'id' attribute. This is one of the ugliest thing of WebForms and also this can be treated as a disadvantage while using webforms because we donot have direct id's as given while we were writing the code, i.e what we gave is not what we recieve. And this is one of the advantage of using MVC framework as it gives more control on the rendered HTML. So here we assume a situation in where we are not using MVC, we are only using webforms and in our case there is a situation where in we have widgets which are user controls and are created dynamically as soon as they are dropped.These widgets when rendered are enclosed inside a div having an id="widget123333444asdfdf" i.e in the id there is a word widget which is fixed and is inherited and rendered by every widget but after the widget word another random guid value is appended which probably might be the id of widget.
