You're going to have to have a shared scope then, between the controller on the directive, and the parent controller. No other way around it. If you had stuff in the scope from the directive access it through the attribute instead. Like so:

// pretend this is the link function to the directive
function link( $scope, element, attr ){
attr.$observe ( 'myVar' , function ( ) {
// this function let's you know when variable changes.
// kind of like $scope.$watch but for attributes instead
});

consoloe.log( attr.myVar ); // this contains just a string, no bueno. we need the value

var value = $scope . $eval ( attr. myVar ); // <- We get the actual value of what it's meant to have
// you can use or not use the value.

( $scope.myFunc || $scope.$parent.myFunc ) ( ); // <- myFunc on the scope if for the controller on the directive, myFunc on the parent is the controller who invoked the directive.
}


Let me know if that works.

you could create a token form your application and pass it through your licensing web app. if the token is missing then redirect the user back to the main page.

Maybe you want to use a broadcast / emit from the directive and add an event listener to the controllers so that they fire off simultaneously. If you don't have access to the controller, then I'm not sure how to approach this.

On the directive do something like:

$scope.$broadcast('fireOnController', {args:'foo'});


On controller do:
$scop.$on('fireOnController', function(sender, args){
// Do something with args here
});

oh. Might want to look at instead. Not to familiar with this show grant.. hopefully this points you in the right direction

You are looking for OCR (Optical character recognition).

Not sure if you would find a book on what you are looking for as a whole, but what I recommend is to look at it in sections. If you break your project down into what it actually is, then you find a lot of help in those specific areas.

Break it down to SQL, WPF, Business logic. Find the POCO objects that best suits your business logic and then implement the database aspect. You can look into various ORM ( database to POCO aspect ) libraries and then build it out from there.

Regardless of where you start, my advice is to start small. Keep it focused and once you have something in place that works and is efficient, build it out.

how did you encode it to begin with? do the opposite. If you encoded the image bytes to base64 then saved it to a text file, I recommend you read back to a memory stream, then decode it from base 64 and you got your original image. that's the logic for base64 encoding... not sure how you encoded your image to the text file.

Look at this SO question regarding your issue. May provide some more insight

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1382791/asp-net-what-to-do-if-current-session-is-null

Is Session null? or a value from Session returning null? If Session is null, then you are requesting it way too early in the ASP.net process; wait until the page load or in the action from mvc. If it's a value in the session that is null, then check your spelling.

Reason for my vote of 4 \n extension methods are always executed regardless if the object has been instantiated or not.it's up to the method to determine whether or not to throw the exception. Microsoft extension methods always throw an exception whenever it is invoked and the object is null.

VS does not support this feature as it always tends to copy whatever file you give it to the project folder.
The way to support this feature is to create a hardlink copy of your file and then give that copy to VS. Whenever this file gets updated the actual file will be updated.


If the files you are using are being used by other projects, then I suggest creating a dll for those core projects and then reference them in VS. This will save compiler time as VS will not have to compile the core files every single build. Just a thought.

Not sure what you are attempting to ask, but you can achieve this through

HttpContext.Current.Session["key"] = "some value. Any object works too";

This can be achieved from anywhere that has reference to System.Web
Or through

Session["key"] = 5; // If you access from a class inheriting from Control / Page / Controller

My suggestion is not to store it in the FormsAuthenticationTicket, instead store that information as a role.

IPrincipal has a function called IsInRole... or something along the lines,

"bool IsInRole(string role)"

the class inheriting from IPrincipal should be able to tell whether or not a user has a "Graduate" role. Thus eliminating the need for the cast

That is true, but before the grouping was done, I retrieved all the data from the customers whose addresses where in those 3 countries. From there the address links back to the customer when you do the join statement again from the tmpview to the address table.

Should look into DB replication services. This will keep bogus records from popping up and accidental data duplication.

Take a look at this awesome article here at CP.

I didn't write it myself, so cheers to the author, but it's a great place to start.

you can't tell the browser to print content that is not there. you would have to first display the pdf in the browser, then call the print method from javascript or you can have the user download the pdf and then print it from their favorite pdf reader.

Sometimes, depending on the size of the project, it does make sense to abstract common UI components into a stand-alone DLL, in which case it would make sense to know what kind of UI you are servicing.

I do have some common UI components in an external DLL that I use between my Winforms and ASP.NET Mvc, the DLL has some basic behavior that both projects can inherit and implement their own way of doing things.

you could try looking into the algorithms used to "package" images together in Css Sprites generator. Not really sure what the term is either, I always search under Css Sprite generator C# and get some decent results.
Perhaps if you find the algorithm you want, then you can apply it to controls as well. But they already must have their size predefined, of course.

I agree with Ron, 11 secs to return 400 records is pretty darn slow. Might want to figure out why it is so slow to begin with, perhaps adding some more additional indexes and what not... but this is besides the point.

From the code you have provided, it seems like you ever only display the last record to the user. Might want to change your sql statement to only pull one record instead of 400. This will definitely provide the speed boost you want.

Looks like HERE is the implementation of OLD_PASSWORD(). SHA1 hasshing is one-way hash, you cannot revert the hashed string to it's clear version. What you could do is use the OLD_PASSWORD implementation and then use SHA1 hashing to compare it with the stored value in the database.

Have you tried using DisplayMessage instead? All the samples I've seen with SignalR they all had the same matching case as the C# counterpart.

HTML does not have a "menu strip" per say. What you would need to do is implement a horizontal menu with drop down. Something like this (horizontal drop down menu @ Codrops)

Not really following what you are attempting to ask.

Try deleting the contents inside the obj forlder... sometimes it helps clear everything out and then rebuild the solution.
