I had a scenario where need to localize the data points that are displayed on the chart, that the decimal needs to be localized as comma (,) in Russian and Spanish., Thanks to my friend Gagan for this E.g.: We can assign an EventHandler to FormatNumber Property as Below private MemoryStream RenderGraph() { Chart barchart = new Chart (); //many number codes are removed //Removed other formatting lines barchart.FormatNumber += new EventHandler < FormatNumberEventArgs >(ConvertChartDecimalFormat);             barchart.DataSource = dt;    barchart.Series[0].XValueMember = "XProp" ;             barchart.Series[0].YValueMembers = "YProp" ;             barchart.DataBind(); //return the memory stream image } Followed the event method will look as below.  vo...

I was thinking how we could use knockoutjs with Umbraco, so just thought blog it. Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. Any time you have sections of UI that update dynamically (e.g., changing depending on the user’s actions or when an external data source changes), KO can help you implement it more simply and maintainably. Features Elegant dependency tracking Declarative bindings Flexible and sophisticated templating Trivially extensible More information reference: http://knockoutjs.com .

I had the same issue, (Error: ko.mapping.updateFromJS, use ko.mapping.fromJS instead) I bugged for long time, then i tried the another alternative. fromJS  the functionality is the same, but be aware that updateFromJS's parameter list is just the other away around, so instead of doing:    ko.mapping.updateFromJS( viewModel, jsData); You need to replace this with:    ko.mapping.fromJS( jsData, {}, viewModel );

Observer Pattern "The Observer Pattern Defines a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all of its dependents are notified and updated automatically." Publishers + Subscribers = Observer Pattern C# Introduced , IObserver<T> and IObservable<T> which will help push-based notification,also known as the observer design pattern. The IObservable<T> interface represents the class that sends notifications (the provider); the IObserver<T> interface represents the class that receives them (the observer). T represents the class that provides the notification information. An IObserver<T> implementation arranges to receive notifications from a provider (an IObservable<T> implementation) by passing an instance of itself to the provider's IObservable<T>.Subscribe method. This method returns an IDisposable object that can be used to unsubscribe the observer before the provider finishes sending...
