Creating JumpLists via XAML

Small warning: If you try this on Windows Vista, your app will just crash…
JumpLists are registred per application and the easiest way to create a (static) JumpList is via XAML in the App.xaml:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">

Creating JumpLists via Code

The “coding” JumpList API is a bit odd to use, but still easy to understand:
var jt = new JumpTask
{
    ApplicationPath = "C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe",
    Arguments = "readme.txt",
    Title = "Recent Entry for Notepad",
    CustomCategory = "Dummy"
};

JumpList.AddToRecentCategory(jt);



var jt2 = new JumpTask
{
    ApplicationPath = "C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe",
    Arguments = "readme.txt",
    Title = "Code Entry for Notepad",
    CustomCategory = "Dummy"
};

var currentJumplist = JumpList.GetJumpList(App.Current);
currentJumplist.JumpItems.Add(jt2);
currentJumplist.Apply();
The “Apply()” call is needed, otherwise the new JumpItem will not be added. As you can see, you can create new JumpList entries, add (and I think you could also remove items) from the default recent category. Besides JumpTasks there is JumpPath, which just contains a link.
In the XAML Part I also hooked up some events, so your application can get notified when a user pins something or removes something which you might want to handle.

Get selected text from dropdown


                           


 $('#SelectOption').find('option:selected').text();


https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4376664/jquery-access-input-hidden-value
You can access hidden fields' values with val(), just like you can do on any other input element:
 type="hidden" id="foo" name="zyx" value="bar" />

alert($('input#foo').val());
alert($('input[name=zyx]').val());
alert($('input[type=hidden]').val());
alert($(':hidden#foo').val());
alert($('input:hidden[name=zyx]').val());
Those all mean the same thing in this example.

GIT Visual Studio , Problem while switching from one branch to another branch


Got the error while switching to a branch
Cannot complete the operation because of existing changes to the following 2 files:

But the files are already committed.

The answer in the following SO post helps

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28907086/vs2013-git-cannot-complete-the-operation-because-of-existing-changes-to-the-f

  • Find the offending file in Explorer
  • Rename it to remove its extension
  • Go back to VS, you'll find the Changes window shows the file with the rename action
  • Undo the rename change on that file
This should reset the state of the file and make it forget that there's a change on the file.
Now, you can simply switch or pull or do whatever was being blocked.
