70-562 Repeater and DataList controls


The ListView includes the Repeater and DataList. In complexity Repeater->DataList->ListView->DataGrid

Dalalist: HeaderTemplate, ItemTemplate, AlternatingTemplate, SelectedItemTemplate, SeperatorTemplate, EditItem, FooterTemplate.
The repeater control has no templates, so you add a header, item and footer template, each has to be configured with html, and css.

The item template can contain a listitem(li), can put a declarative databinding that will contain an expression

To bind to data, you must indicate teh exact field, the repeateur loops through all the rows provided by the datasource. The EVal method requires the datafield and the formating with a {0}.

CommandName, and CommandArgument is used to set a different hyperlink for each item, that will then be handled in the event handler.

DataList: The repeater just layout items from a datasource, the datalist has more features than the repeater, and less compared to a datagrid.
Adds style, can select, edit, delete, multi-column layout. Much easier to configure style since it provides desginer mode.

The DataKeyField will be used as primary key when editing a row.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

70-562 Custom Visualizers

Framework objects are clearly viewable in the locals window during debugging. User made class librairies and their object need to provide visualizers for maintenance and debugging. You can create your own visualizers, MS exposes the functionnality through the .Net Framework; and this is relatively easy. Mulitple visualizers can be created per type. You can have tree views, grids; customizing it to the way that is the most usefull for debugging this particular object. The [Serializable()] attribute has to be included to your class to allow the visual studio visualizer to parse the object. A visualizer is a dll, a regular assembly, it requires a windows form to display the data. The visualizer class will be implemented by the form. The visualizer class has to inherit the DialogDebuggerVisualizer class with the DebuggerVisualizer attribute, and also the Microsoft.VisaulStudio.DebuggerVisualizers namespace. The visualizer can be made to only read, or modify existing data. T...
