Batch Resizing With GIMP

17Jan12

Batch resizing of images is probably something I haven’t needed to do in about 10 years. Since my copy of Photoshop 5.5 is unresponsive, I checked out GIMP and David’s Batch Processor plugin (DBP). It’s so good is’t self-explanatory — I was underway. But I created this stub in case I wanted to expand ( — really no need to…)

Get the calling page in Master Page

16Sep11

this.MainContent.Page.GetType().FullName

where MainContent is the main asp:ContentPlaceHolder. This technique is sort of looked down upon, but here it is.

Alternative method
Call the master page from the child page.
//Page_Load
MyMaster m = (MyMaster)this.Master;
m.TellMasterWhoIAm(this);

jQuery Partial ID search

09Sep11

Implementing jQuery datePicker in an ASP.Net GridView. Since the TextBox’s ID is appended and different for each row after rendering, the field has to be retrieved through partial searching on the ID.

$(function () {
$(‘*[id*=myStartDate]:visible’).datepicker({ dateFormat: ‘mm/dd/yy’ });
});

<asp:TextBox id=”myStartDate” … />

Source

Update
To set a minimum date (no earlier dates):

$(function () {
$(‘*[id*=myStartDate]:visible’).datepicker({ minDate: new Date(), dateFormat: ‘mm/dd/yy’ });
});

Or new Date(“Month DD, YEAR”) accordingly.
