Call parent window’s javascript function from child window


Hi, I stuck with one requirement as describe in title and after searching for the solution, I found how can I call javascript function of the parent window whereas I am working with the child window. Here is the solution for you all.

Write below function of javascript in your parent window. We will call it later from the child.

    <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
    function ParentWindowFunction()
    {
        alert(‘Hi, At least someone has called me from the child window’);
        return false;
    }
    </script>

Write the below code in your child window

    <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
    function CallParentWindowFunction()
    {
        window.opener.ParentWindowFunction();
        return false;
    }
    </script>

You can call above function from a button click event like
    <input type=”button”  name=”btn1″ value=”Call Parent Window Function”onclick=”javascript:return CallParentWindowFunction();”/>

That’s it. Now by clicking on this child window’s button you can call a function resides in parent window.

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal

Here's how I do it. I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal. Create the interface interface ICustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { int UserId { get ; set ; } string FirstName { get ; set ; } string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipal public class CustomPrincipal : ICustomPrincipal { public IIdentity Identity { get ; private set ; } public bool IsInRole ( string role ) { return false ; } public CustomPrincipal ( string email ) { this . Identity = new GenericIdentity ( email ); } public int UserId { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object. public class CustomPrincipalSerializeMode...

linq orderby multiple columns dynamically

So, it's been a while, but I thought I take moment and do my annual blog post ;). I've been playing around with  ASP.NET MVC  and the Linq stuff for  NHibernate  recently. I was in need of an OrderBy extension method that could take a SQL-Like OrderBy string and sort a IQueryable<> or IEnumerable<> collection. I wrote up an implementation that worked, but I just wasn't satisfied with its internals (quite a bit of reflection to get the correct type to construct a LambdaExpression, etc) At any rate, I couldn't leave well enough alone, and, after a bit of Googling, I ran across this  StackOverflow  answer about Dynamic LINQ OrderBy . The extension method wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but that ApplyOrder method is slick, and solved the portion of my implementation that was bothering me. So, I though I would post up my version in case anybody finds it useful. It handles the following inputs: list.OrderBy( "SomeProperty" ); list.Ord...
