Rick Strahl's Web Log provides a variety of .NET development topics with focus on ASP.NET and enterprise development. Topics are wide ranging from introductory articles to tips and tricks, observations in the process of software development and examination of new and upcoming technologies. Content is honest and sometimes outspoken and doesn't tote any particular party line - Rick says it as he sees it.

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Ouhh! Lame: jQuery dataFilter results that are string are post parsed (as json) no way to override to prevent post parse. 1 day ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Grrrrrrrrr.... Cables been out for the last two hours. This is not helping my work schedule today at all :) 1 day ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Something I overlooked before: LinqPad does raw SQL queries too. Nice! 2 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Hmmm... do all the script references for ASMX AJAX services still need to be added with ASP.NET 4.0? Looks like it.Thought it was automatic. 2 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Are we already in legacy mode where actual date de-serialization would break countless apps now? :-) 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Lame that JSON parsers (json2/native browsers) don't actually deserialize dates after actually agreeing on a common encoding format. Why? 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @Nick_Craver The result data shows up but xhr appears to be non-active. 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @Nick_Craver $.ajaxSetup( { dataFilter: function() { var ct = this.xhr().getResponseHeader("content-type") }. Fails. XHR instance no values 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @Nick_Craver In the end working off the dataType is the only way I can check what I'm working with. 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @Nick_Craver I think by that time xhr has been reset (ready-state: 0) 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @Nick_Craver Problem is that for dataFilter xhr().getResponseHeader("content-type") is not returning anything. 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) I suppose for what I need I can look at this.dataType == "json" i $.ajaxSetup. 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Hmmm... in $.ajaxSetup I can get the content type but only the outbound content type. Is there any way to get inbound content type??? 3 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) Plane tickets to SWFOX and my music gig booked at the end of September/early Oct. I hate being gone from Maui around this time for 3+ weeks. 9 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @averyj It's not the runtime that matters it's the support libs that provide the value in the platform. 9 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @averyj Because JS by itself a server side platform does not make :-) There are other options but CLR based JavaScript would be nice IMHO. 9 days ago from TweetDeck

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl)

Rick Strahl (RickStrahl) @BethMassi Will do once I now my schedule once it's getting closer. 9 days ago from TweetDeck
