Diagnosing problems in your ASP.NET MVC application is now more easy by using a single file which is included in the MVCFutures package. Download this package from CodePlex and just drag and drop a file called MVCDiagnostics.aspx in the root of your MVC application and thats it.
Press F5 and set the URL pointing to the file diagnostics file and you will be able to see a detailed information about your currently running MVC application. The page you see should look something like this.
Windows 7 gives you the power to create Virtual Hard Disk (VHD). If you don’t know how to create a VHD in Windows 7 then you seriously need to learn how to unleash Windows 7 power. You can see the links in the end which will let you create a new VHD on your Windows 7 machine and there are some other recommended links.
I assume that you know or you have created a new VHD and attached or mount on your Windows 7 machine. But this is one time fun…..Once you reboot or logoff the attached VHD is gone. Now you need to follow all those steps again to attach the VHD, not this time but every time you logoff or restart. To get relief from this pain perform the following steps.
Open notepad and add the below command to the file:
Select vdisk file=”D:\SourceSafe.vhd” Attach vdisk
Now save the file with the name of your choice with “.s” as its extension. Open notepad again and add the following line of code to get your VHD attached at system startup and save this file with file extension as ”.bat”
DISKPART –s "Path of the <.s file> created in the above step"
The path name should be the fully qualified name of the “.s” file. Just in case you face any problem I have attached the files I am using to mount my SourceSafe VHD at system startup. Place the ”.bat” in the startup folder and thats it. Next time you logoff or restart you VHD gets attached automatically.

If you are using JQuery controls like date picker, accordion, progress bar, slider, tabs, dialog etc. You can set the theme of your choice or you can also allow the user to set the theme of their choice. For those folks who don’t know about the JQuery Theme Roller, then take a look at official Jquery site demonstrating the Jquery Theme Roller. The best part is when you select the theme from the theme roller control all the JQuery controls on the page will automatically inherit the color scheme of the theme.
To incorporate Theme Roller in your page, build a simple page and link some CSS and some JavaScript
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://jqueryui.com/themes/base/ui.all.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://static.jquery.com/ui/css/demo-docs-theme/ui.theme.css" type="text/css" media="all" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/js/jquery.js"></script> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Now under the head section we will have the JQuery Theme Roller control.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#ThemeRoller').themeswitcher();
});
Notice the ThemeRoller id of the control passed in the JQuery code to initialize the Theme Roller/Switcher. Now in the Body tag of your page set a div with id as ThemeRoller or whatever the name you want to give, but make sure you use the same name as your control id.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/themeswitchertool/"> </script> <div id="ThemeRoller"></div>
I have set the theme roller on the body of the page and therefore all the controls on the page will automatically change the theme accordingly set by the user using the theme roller on the page. You can also set a DIV or a form on your page instead of setting it for the complete page. Set some other controls on the page like date picker, progress bar, dialog etc. Html code for the controls.
Set some other controls on the page like date picker, progress bar, dialog etc.
<p>Date: <input id="datepicker" type="text" /> </p> <div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog"> <p> This is a Demo Dialog box using JQuery!!<br /> Change theme to see this Dialog in different theme. </p> </div> <div id="progressbar" style="width:200px;"> </div>
Placing HTML code isn’t enough. You also need to set the JQuery code in the head section of the page to get the controls working. When you set all the JQuery code for the controls you body and head section of the page looks something like this.
Body section of the page:
<body style="font-size:62.5%;"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/themeswitchertool/"> </script> <div id="ThemeRoller"></div> <p>Date: <input id="datepicker" type="text" /> </p> <div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog"> <p> This is a Demo Dialog box using JQuery!!<br /> Change theme to see this Dialog in different theme. </p> </div> <div id="progressbar" style="width:200px;"> </div> </body>
Head section of the page:
<head>
<title>JQuery Theme Roller</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://jqueryui.com/themes/base/ui.all.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"
type="text/css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://static.jquery.com/ui/css/demo-docs-theme/ui.theme.css"
type="text/css" media="all" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Set theme roller
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#ThemeRoller').themeswitcher();
});
//Show date time picker control
$(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
});
//Show Dialog
$(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog();
});
//Progress Bar
$(function () {
$("#progressbar").progressbar({
value: 50
});
});
</script>
</head>
Now try setting the theme of the page in one click using the Theme Roller.
