Moving Tags in DOM using jQuery


Introduction

Download

I this quick post you will learn how to move any tag in DOM using jQuery. Firstly, I will show you a problem and then I will talk on its fixes. Here's a problem:

My friend has designed a web page that has following information inside <body> tag. He is actually novice in web.

<body>
    <div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify;">
        <h2>History of Visual Studio</h2>
        <div class="mainBodyInfos">
            <div class="CopyrightInfo">
                Copyright © 2009-2012 ITORIAN. All rights reserved.
            </div>
            Visual Studio's history probably begins in 1975 with Bill and Paul's decision to create Altair BASIC.  Maybe you could start before that but I think that's as far back as you could go and still say it's about Visual Studio at all - it's at that time that Microsoft decided it was going to have software development products and not, say, toaster automation.
            …..
        </div>
        <div id="footerInfos">
            Footer Informations.
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

Can you see any mistake above? If not, let me tell you, by mistake he placed copyright information at wrong location that is inside <div> having class "mainBodyInfos". Means <div> that has class "CopyrightInfo" should be after <div> that has id "footerInfos". Look at the screen:


Above image shows the actual location of copyright information.
Here, jQuery come for rescue. Let's look at jQuery code:


Just a single line of jQuery code (given below) can rescue this.

$('div.CopyrightInfo').insertAfter('#footerInfos');

Using above, I am searching for "CopyrightInfo" <div> class and inserting it after a <div> that has id "footerInfos".

If you want to dive-in for some more learning on this topic, you can try following alternatives yourself.

.insertBefore() or .prependTo() and .appendTo()

I have also attached my sample project above, download and test it.

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" });
