Knockoutjs check/uncheck all checkboxes using header checkbox.

While working with Knockoutjs ViewModel, if we implement the select all checkbox feature using traditional JavaScript/JQuery, then in such scenario we can see that Knockoutjs observable property is not getting updated when all checkboxes are checked/unchecked.

To handle such situation, we can create Knockoutjs computed property (with read/write) and can bind it to header checkbox and there is no need to use the traditional JQuery. Below is the sample code to demonstrate the same:

As usual create the Knockoutjs ViewModel and then bind it to UI using ko.applyBindings
function CheckViewModel() {
    var self = this;
    self.Countries = ko.observableArray(                                                       [
                    new Country("Australia"),
                     new Country("India"),
                     new Country("Russia"),
                    new Country("United Kingdom"),
                    new Country("United States")                                                ]);

    self.SelectAll = ko.computed({
        read: function () {
            var country = ko.utils.arrayFirst(self.Countries(), function (ctr) {
                return !ctr.Selected();
            });
            return country == null;
        },
        write: function (value) {
            ko.utils.arrayForEach(self.Countries(), function (ctr) {
                ctr.Selected(value);
            });
        }
    }).extend({ throttle: 1 });
}
Country = function (name) {
    this.CountyName = name;
    this.Selected = ko.observable(false);
}
ko.applyBindings(new CheckViewModel());

Once Knockoutjs ViewModel is ready to use, create the HTML and use Knockout binding.
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>
              <input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: SelectAll" />
              Select All Countries
            </th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody data-bind="foreach: $data.Countries">
        <tr>
            <td>
              <input type="checkbox" data-bind="checked: Selected" />
              <label data-bind="text: CountyName"></label>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

See highlighted part of HTML and Scripts, we are binding header checkbox with property SelectAll and this property will help us implementing the check/uncheck all checkboxes feature.

Note: There is problem of ordo n ^ 2 when selecting deselecting all if we use simple Knockoutjs computed property.
To handle this either we can use a pasuable computed property or we can also extend the computed with a throttle, as shown below and also used in our script.

.extend({ throttle: 1 })

You can also see the working jsfiddle of this example.

Difference between Web API, WCF and Web Service

So now we have got the basic idea about Web API , now let’s do some comparison of Web API with WCF and web services. Web Service WCF Web API Web services are created as files with .asmx extension. WCF create with .svc extension Web API are simple class file with .cs(for C#) extension. Web API is inherited from “ApiController” and the class name must end with “Controller”. It is SOAP based service and returns data in XML form. It is also based on SOAP and returns data in XML form. Web API is HTTP based service and by default, it returns data in JSON or XML form. It supports only HTTP protocol. It supports various protocols like TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, Named Pipes, and MSMQ. It supports HTTP protocol. It can be hosted only on IIS. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS or using window service. It can be hosted within the application or on IIS. It is no...

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

Use TempData Keep or Peek method to persist data in MVC

TempData used to transfer data between controllers or between actions. There is one point to note that TempData is only work during the current and subsequent request and it is generally used to store one time message. But one can persist data in TempData object even after request completion with the help of Keep() or Peek() method. TempData.Keep(): TempData.Keep() method keep value in TemData object at the end of current request. There are two overloaded keep methods available with TempData: ·          void Keep(): This method make ensures that all the items in TempData are not destroyed on current request completion. ·          void Keep(string key): One can persist the specific item in TempData by passing in the item name. TempData.Peek(string key): It returns an object that contains the element that is associated with the specified key, without marking the key for deletion. Exampl...
