JSON Date input to WCF Rest service

what's the problem .....in passing date using ajax/JSON method to wcf rest service ,you can read it here ....from Scott and problem here

now you got to pass a date(JSON FORMAT) using ajax/JSON call from asp.net page. ,

I have taken bits of code and modified to my needs from here


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace SomeNameSpace
{
/// <summary>
/// Class describes the Entities for Persons
/// </summary>
[DataContract(Namespace = "")]
public class Person
{
private int _personId;
private string _emailAddress;
private string _IP;
private DateTime _CreatedOn;
private DateTime _ModifiedOn;
private DateTime _subscribedOn;
private string _statusCD;
private string _sourceCD;

{

{

{
_personId = value;

download ww.jquey.js from here

under your aspx page refer <script src="scripts/ww.jquery.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript">

        var date = new Date();

        EmailAddress = 'varunpathak123@gmail.com';
        SourceCD = 'testapp';

       

        var person =
                        {
                            'IP': "12.22.434",
                            'CreatedOn': date,
                            'ModifiedOn': date,
                            'SubscribedOn': date,
                            'StatusCD': "ACTV",
                            'EmailAddress': EmailAddress,
                            'SourceCD': SourceCD,
                           
                        };







                        person = JSON.stringifyWcf(person);

        function PostData() {
            $.ajax(
                        {
                            type: "POST",
                            url: "http://localhost:9234/AddUser",
                            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                            data: person,
                            dataType: "json",
                            success: function (result) {
                             
                                alert("Success");
                            },
                            failure: function (result) {
                                alert("Failure");
                            }
                        });
        }

I want to give a vote of thanks again to Rick Strahl. There are plenty of post out there which I tried but did not work for me....apart from this one .
I could have changed my wcf service ,but dates have always been a problem be it any world.

I have highlighted the function JSON.stringifyWCF which looks like this

 JSON.stringifyWcf = function(json) {
        /// <summary>
        /// Wcf specific stringify that encodes dates in the
        /// a WCF compatible format ("/Date(9991231231)/")
        /// Note: this format works ONLY with WCF.
        ///       ASMX can use ISO dates as of .NET 3.5 SP1
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="key" type="var">property name</param>
        /// <param name="value" type="var">value of the property</param>        
        return JSON.stringify(json, function(key, value) {
            if (typeof value == "string") {
                var a = reISO.exec(value);
                if (a) {
                    var val = '/Date(' + new Date(Date.UTC(+a[1], +a[2] - 1, +a[3], +a[4], +a[5], +a[6])).getTime() + ')/';
                    this[key] = val;
                    return val;
                }
            }
            return value;
        })
    };

one can make out it is specifically targeting dates format.which is always a issue with JSON to WCF


I hope this post will help some one.

Add JQuery intellisense in Visual Studio

To do this all you got to do is Drag and drop the JQuery file in in the file you are looking to program using JQuery




That's all .Now its time to explore endless capabilities that JQuery provides.

adding custom pop up in Telerik RadEditor

What we want to achieve through this :-

We basically want the user get some kind of tips while filling content using Telerik RadEditor

How can this be done/what all do we need

1.We need a div which can be shown and hide
2.We need some jqury/javacript and Telerik exposed API ,so that we can basically hook up few things
like
               a)Show hide div
               b)Do some custom validation
               c) Populate div with custom contents

 in the end we also want user should also able to key in text if he is not happy what we have provided with ..... now we see below

1. RadEditor API function OnClientSelectionChange(editor, args)
2. A div to show and hide contents
3. To differentiate between  normal elements and the elements which needs to have auto suggest(popup) we will place these elements in span.
4.  function OnClientSelectionChange(editor, args) {selElement = editor.getSelectedElement()
 if (selElement != null && selElement.localName == 'span' ) { 

//show popup

}

to determine popup offset  

selElementOff = $(selElement)

selElementOffset = selElementOff.offset();

selElementOffset.top,selElementOffset.left will give the values we are looking for .
in order to replace text once the user has clicked

var currentHtml = editor.get_html(true)
var selElement = editor.getSelectedElement()
var spanToReplace = selElement.outerHTML;
stringVal = $(event.target).text();
replaced = currentHtml.replace(spanToReplace, stringVal)
editor.set_html(replaced);

we can also add a input text box
