In order to turn Compatibility mode on for Internet Explorer the server should send “X-UA-Compatible” as a header with the value IE=EmulateIE9. This will force Internet explorer to use compatibility mode if it is a version higher than 9
If we using ISS (making for instance a asp.net project) the following web.config can be used to do this.
<configuration>
<!-- Other settings -->
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<clear />
<add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE9" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration> |
Mode details on the possible values for the header tag
Sometimes sending this as a header tag works, then this should be sent first in the header tag
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" /> |

In order to turn Compatibility mode off for Internet Explorer the server should send “X-UA-Compatible” as a header with the value IE=Edge. This will force Internet explorer to use the latest mode the version has (this works from IE 6 to 11 and up)
If we using ISS (making for instance a asp.net project) the following web.config can be used to do this.
<configuration>
<!-- Other settings -->
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<clear />
<add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=Edge" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration> |

In order to convert a nullable Integer to a Interger, all that needs to be done is to call the GetValueOrDefault function of the nullable Type.
Dim intNullable As Integer? = Nothing
Dim int As Integer = intNullable.GetValueOrDefault() |

In order to convert a Integer to a nullable interger, all that needs to be done is to call CType

The man page says
ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The editor used to edit the commit log message will be chosen from the GIT_EDITOR environment variable, the core.editor configuration variable, the VISUAL environment variable, or the EDITOR environment variable (in that order). |
So in order to make nano our default editor we can do
git config --global core.editor "nano" |
--global means this will become a default setting for all of git (leaving it out would only affect the current git repo you are running the command from)

VisualStudio 2012 assumes we are using the latest and greatest (version 2) when it comes to the Razer view engine. However when we are opening a project that was created using version 2010 then we were using 1.0 and that is the reason that 2012 is telling us about all the errors it believes we have with our project.
The solution is to edit the web.config file and under “appSettings” tell VisualStudio that this project is using version 1.0
<add key="webpages:Version" value="1.0" /> |

In order to store Binary data in a table, all that is needed is to upload the bytes from the file, one way to do this is to use File.ReadAllBytes
Dim fileName As String = "C:\testfile.txt"
dbCommand = New SqlCommand("UPDATE FileTable SET BinaryFile=@BinaryFile WHERE FileId = @FileId", dbConnection)
dbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BinaryFile", File.ReadAllBytes(Filnamn))
dbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FileId", FileId)
dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() |

This is similar to matching a name space with a wildcard.
'This is the node we are searching in
Dim someXmlNode As XmlNode = FetchXmlNode()
Dim xPathExpr As String = String.Empty
'find all nodes with names that starts with nisse_
xPathExpr = ".//*[starts-with(name(), 'nisse_')]"
'loop through all elements that matches our XPath
For Each elementWithNisse As XmlNode In someXmlNode.SelectNodes(xPathExpr)
AndHereAMiracleHappens(elementWithNisse)

.NET framework’s XslCompiledTransform only supports XPath and XSLT 1.0.
With XPath 1.0 ‘*’ is allowed to select all elements and nisse:* is allowed to select all elements in the namespace bound to the prefix ‘nisse’ but *:nisse to select ‘nisse’ elements in all
namespaces is not allowed in XPath 1.0, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-tests.
And here is an example in vb.net where InnerText is read from the nameOfElementToFind in any name space
' This is the xmlnode the search is done with
Dim node As XmlNode = FetchSomeNode()
Dim innerTextFromNode As String = String.Empty
Dim xPathToSearchFor As String = String.Empty
'Will find all direct decendants nameOfElementToFind in any name space
xPathToSearchFor = "*[local-name() 'nameOfElementToFind']"
'Will find all nameOfElementToFind in any name space and anywhere under this node
xPathToSearchFor = ".//*[local-name() 'nameOfElementToFind']"
'Will find all nameOfElementToFind in any name space and anywhere in the document the node belongs to
xPathToSearchFor = "//*[local-name() 'nameOfElementToFind']"
If (node IsNot Nothing) Then
innerTextFromNode = node.selectSingleNode(xPathToSearchIn).InnerText
End If |
