Example on jQuery Event Bubbling Situation

Introduction

Before getting started here, please review the last post [Simple Style Switcher using jQuery and CSS], so that you can understand the basics of the jQuery codes used in this post.

Complete Page Code (You will find Event Bubbling Situation in this code):

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default2" %>

    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js"
            type="text/javascript"></script>
    <style type="text/css">
        .hidden { display: none; }
        .hover { cursor: pointer; background-color: Red; }
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        //Mouse Hover
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#SwitchDIV b').hover(function () {
                $(this).addClass('hover');
            }, function () {
                $(this).removeClass('hover');
            });
        });
        //Hiding DIV
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#SwitchDIV').click(function () {
                    $('#SwitchDIV p').toggleClass('hidden');
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="SwitchDIV" style="background-color: Aqua;">
        <b>Switchable DIV</b>
        <p>
            <button>Some Action</button>
            <br />
            Welcome to the Student's Section.
            Please enter your Enrollment No. and Password

        </p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Look at the following animated image, that shows how it will look when runs above code.


Please note, I am wishing to collapse the DIV when click on "Switchable DIV" text but the above system fails to do that as it also gets collapsed when I click on button, that's because of Event Bubbling situation. The event is first handled by the button, then passed up through the DOM tree until it reaches the <div id="SwitchDIV" style="background-color: Aqua;">, where our new handler is activated and collapse (hides) the <p>.

Now, to solve this problem we need to access the event object. This is a DOM construct that is passed to each element's event handler when it is invoked. It provides information about the event, such as where the mouse cursor was at the time of the event. It also provides some methods that can be used to affect the progress of the event through the DOM.

To use the event object with above code, we only need to add a parameter to the function and use it with if condition. Here you go.

        //Hiding DIV
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#SwitchDIV b').click(function (event) {
                if (event.target == this) {
                    $('#SwitchDIV p').toggleClass('hidden');
                }
            });
        });

In above code, I made some modifications that you can easily understand if you read previous posts or compare the codes with above one where we fall in Event Bubbling. Above code ensures that the item clicked on was <div id="SwitchDIV">, not one of its sub-elements. Now clicking on buttons will not collapse the style switcher.

Now, again run the program, you will get the desired actions, find my working screen below.




I hope you like it. Thanks

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Lambda two tables and three tables inner join code samples

In this blog post you will learn inner join using lambda queries. There will be two samples, in first sample you will see how you can join two tables and in second sample you will see how you can extend even further to join three tables and so on. I will sample in-memory data, but the same implementation will work with IQueryable (lazy query) too. Here's the code snippet:- namespace ConsoleApp1 {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var table1 = new List<Table1>();             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1" , Address = "Address 1" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2" , Address = "Address 2" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3" , Address = "Address 3" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4" , Address = "Address 4" });
