Dealing with Inconsistent Capitalization In Data

I like the simple answer: http://www.u-convert.com/ and then select "To UpperCase".  The problem of trying to get correct capitalization on names is something I saw on a couple blogs.  Some used recursion and others just did more simple manipulations.  However, if they are all caps then everything is consistent without having any possible complaints from all though McCoy's and DeForest's and similar names.

Telerik - Custom Group Footers In RadGrid

As anyone that has dealt with this knows Telerik only supports a single Group or Header Template.  So what happens when you want to change them?  You really only have two options from what I have seen.  The first option is to have something in the data that is brought back that you can use in the designer code in the form of a conditional.  Too bad I do not see a way to check the data based on level like some sort of ParentID like some people have done.  If the ParentID is null  It would look something like below where you check it in the designer: < asp : Label runat = "server" ID = "Label2" Text = '<%# "Number of items in group: "+ (((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) %>' Visible = '<%# ((((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) != null)%>' > Or you can use the code behind to really get at the groupIDs like this per...

Bootstrap Modal Popup is Grayed Out

The popup shows up, but after it pops up the whole page becomes unusable.  So not only was it not displaying right, the whole page is frozen.  I found a StackOverflow post, below describing how the popup may have that behavior when it is nested inside elements that have positioning elements, which fits with previous experiences I have had.  One of the answers described how appending the modal popup to the body of the page  "$('#mytModal').appendTo('body');" would be a way of getting it out of any positioning elements.  Previously on a different page I had moved it out of some divs and it worked right.  However in this particular site the modal is in a ASP.Net site as a user control where the "offending" positioning element is in the master page and it contains the user control.  I stuck the script in the user control, but the behavior was the same.  When I used Firebug I saw that I was getting a "$ is not defined" message. With Jquery we ne...

Captcha - Preventing Pressing Back To Retry Captcha

Found that in some cases if a user presses back, then our captcha solution would redisplay the image.  This would potentially allow a user to retry the same captcha over again which for security reasons would be bad. Placing these in the Load section of the page seems to have removed that issue.:         Response.AppendHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate") 'HTTP 1.1.         Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache") 'HTTP 1.0.         Response.AppendHeader("Expires", "0") 'Proxies. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49547/how-to-control-web-page-caching-across-all-browsers/2068407#2068407
