MVCControlsToolkit Releases Rss Feed

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 2.4 (mar 22, 2013)

frankabbruzzese — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:33:44 GMT

We reviewed all controls to remove small bugs and to add usefull options. In particular:

All utilities of the mvcct.utils javascript namespace now work also without knockout.js
A Cache class has been added to the mvcct.utils javascript namespace.
More options have been added to the Retrieval Manager, that now is able to cache the results returned by the server and to serialize them in the local (or session) storage. All Retrieval Manager methods have been improved to remove small incongruences, and to add more capabilities.
The performance of the TreeView has been improved: the TreeView nodes are enhanced with all their cababilities only when their father node are opened. This way the TreeView loading time is decreased of some orders of magnitude.
A small bug in the accessibility of the TypedTextBox has been removed (before the tab key had problems in some browsers).
A security bug (possible Html Injection attack) has been removed from the _D helper.
Client side flow controls statements have been improved with more options.
A few more options have been added also to the updateManager class.
A bug has been removed from the DataGrid: before, the add row disappeared in some circumstances
More options have been added to the Menu helpers.
A few other secondary bugs have been removed

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 2.3 (set 09, 2012)

frankabbruzzese — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:51:51 GMT

Added
- The new release is compatible with Mvc4 RTM.
- Support for handling Time Zones in dates. Specifically added helper methods to convert to UTC or local time all DateTimes contained in a model received by a controller, and helper methods to handle date only fileds. This together with a detailed documentation on how TimeZones are handled in all situations by the Asp.net Mvc framework, will contribute to mitigate the nightmare of dates and timezones.
- Multiple Templates, and more options to the Menu and MenuFor helpers
- Now TreeView nodes children can be contained in any IEnumerable and not necessarily in a List
- Added more options to the SortableListFor helper
- Now a ko (knockout.js) model is updted also when input fields it is bound to are changed by code if the "changedByCode" event is triggered. In turn each input field that.changes because of ko model changes triggers the "modelChanged " event
- The GetTimer helper has been enriched with a couple parameters more
Fixed
- Now the Extended validator that adds globalization to the standard RangeAttribute substitute the default one after installation with no need of adding code in the global.asax
- Corrected the bug in the conversion of the ISO date format from JSON to javascript in Safari browser
- Corrected Some TimeZone related bugs in several places

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 2.2.0 (lug 04, 2012)

frankabbruzzese — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 07:43:52 GMT

Added
- Modified all Mv4 related features to conform with the Mvc4 RC
- Now all items controls accept any IEnumerable<T>(before just List<T> were accepted by most of controls)
- retrievalManager class that retrieves automatically data from a data source whenever it catchs events triggered by filtering, sorting, and paging controls
- move method to the updatesManager to move one child objects from a father to another. The move operation can be undone like the insert, update and delete operations
- Now an updatesManager can be decalred as child of itself, and in general circular references are allowed in the father-children graph. This way it is possible to handle any relation structure, and in particulare transitive relations like the recursive task-subtask relation.

Fixed
- A bug in the updatesManager that appeared whenever the user inserts at least two children of a newly inserted father
- A bug in the knockout server side error handling functions that prevented to show the original server side error string in an error label(* or other constants worked, but the original sever side string not)
- TypedTextBox "flashed" in some mobile browser when a value was provided through javascript
- Other minor bugs

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 2.1.0 (apr 16, 2012)

frankabbruzzese — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:01:01 GMT

Added
- The capability to handle one-to-many relations to the updateManager
- Logical and only conditions check to SafeQuery and HttpSafeQuery
- Error bubbling to the updateManager
- Server errors automating delete,when changes are undone to the updateManager
- prepareCallback to the updateManager options
- options method to the updateManager to specify or change its options after the creation of its instances
- OpenTContext and CloseTContext HtmlHelper extension. When inserted within a form they "compact" all hidden fields added by the Mvc Controls toolkit controls to give "hints" to the model binder, that are contained between the OpenTContext and CloseTContext calls

Fixed
- Some bugs in the updateManager

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 2.0.0 (apr 04, 2012)

frankabbruzzese — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:50:12 GMT

Added
- Support for Mvc4 beta and WebApi
- The SafeqQuery and HttpSafeQuery IQueryable implementations that works as wrappers aroung any IQueryable to protect it from unwished queries.
- "Client Side" pager specialized in paging javascript data coming either from a remote data source, or from local data.
- LinQ like fluent javascript api to build queries either against remote data sources, or against local javascript data, with exactly the same interface. There are 3 different query objects exposing the same interface: the first one executes the query through any upshot.js data source, the second one executes the query directly against any IQueryable exposed through the Web Api, and the last one executes the query against any local javascript data. All query objects can import query information from the Mvc Controls toolkit paging, sorting and filtering control
- updateManager class to handle json updates with WebApi or standard controllers. It handles changes tracking and change set computation, updates of a generic ViewModel containing several change sets, server returned errors dispatching, and related collections (one to many or many to many).
- Added multiple templates to the SortableFor and ClientSideRepeater
Fixed
- A bug in the datepicker. Dates outside the allowed range were not disabled when using the jQuery picker
- A bug in the validation of the DategridFor rows: the error state were not immediately cleared after an undo
- Now Guids are correctly handled by all controls.

Updated Release: Mvc Controls Toolkit 1.8.0 (feb 05, 2012)

frankabbruzzese — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:55:04 GMT

Added
- Now a newly added row of the Datagrid disappears immediately without leaving a placeholder row when the user press the undo button, also when it is not the last row of the grid(Modification required by the users).
- Now it is possible to register functions that initialize 3rd parties controls/widget. The inizialization functions will be automatically called by the toolkit whenever new content is created(items creations or ajax calls). In particular it is possible to register the function that initializes all jQuery Mobile Widgets, to make they work properly in newly created Grid, Treeview, Repeaters, etc. items.
- Added the JsonModel and JsonModelFor helpers to transfer part of the ViewModel in an Hidden field in json format. If the json is modified then all modifications will be reflected on the server side model on post. json data received are also validated. These two helpers can be used together with all Client Blocks features to turn javascript controls/widgets into Mvc Server Side controls. We will post tutotials on how to implement Mvc Controls with this technique.

Fixed
- A bug in the previous page button of the pager.
