Yep, the problem is the sorting by display index. When it’s  all -1 (the default), the order is scrambled since we use List<>.Sort() which uses quick sort which is an “unstable” sort  and items with identical values are not guaranteed to keep their order. My guess is that below a certain number quick sort is stable.

Anyway, it’s fixed in  the upcoming update.

Thanks,

After further investigation, if you have more than 16 columns, the order is mixed up. Remove columns and have no more than 16 and the order will stay correct.

Just noticed that if you are using VB.NET, the Wisej Web Desktop template for VB is wrong, this line is missing from Program.Main:

        Application.Desktop = New MyDesktop()

Thank you,

Luca

I just noticed the sample I sent saved the columns in the changed order. The correct order should be idcode, jobid, lastname, firstname, trade, mobile, airport etc. If you use the designer to change the order, it will revert back to a different order. This behavior only occurs once you have more columns than the visible grid.

Hello Tung,

I think you can use Application.Session to dinamically define session variables:

string Name;
int Id;

Name = “Jack”;
Id = 125;

Application.Session.UserId = Id;
Application.Session.UserName = Name;

then use:

Application.Session.UserId
Application.Session.UserName

in your application forms or code.

Tried again to activate the server license replacing the code in web.config without success.

Is it possible to include the Watermark color and font in the themes?

Hi David,

In addition to Nic’s reply, I’d like to add that threads don’t really matter in Wisej and you don’t need Invoke() to make cross thread calls. You can simply call any method on any component from any thread.

We have re-implemented Invoke and BeginInvoke to provide similar functionality as WinForms but within a server environment:

• Control.Invoke(Delegate method) is the same as calling the method directly or using ((Delegate)method).DynamicInvoke(args) in case you saved the delegate and want to use it later.

• Control.BeginInvoke(Delegate method) is a bit different, it allows for something similar to a PostMessage (which is what WinForms did). However since Wisej doesn’t have message or a message loop, it uses Appliction.Post(Action) to defer the call and additionally restores the context, for example:

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   this.button1.Text = "1";
   this.button1.BeginInvoke((Action)delegate() {
        this.button1.Text += "2";
   });
   this.button1.Text += "3";
 }

The button’s text will be “132” and *not* “123”, because the code in BeginInvoke() is executed *after* everything else is done in Wisej and right before returning to the client. So there is no timer or message overhead, it’s all clean and straightforward.

If you’d like to upload a simple test case showing what you’d like to achieve we can help further.

Hi John,

See the details here: https://wisej.com/license-information/ You can download the pdf license, which is the same EULA in the installer.

In  short, the “Free Source Code Privileges” section is a “light-weight” insurance against Ice Tea Group (around since 1998) going out of business or dropping the product. It gives you the right to receive the full source code under certain circumstances. It doesn’t protect you against bad business decisions like selling a license for $35K.

‘The full source code is available as a free Code Warranty’.  How does that work; can I get clarification what that means? Is it, if I pay for the 2017 release, and in 2019 the company gets sold, drops support, or decides to substantially up to price to $35000 per upgrade/update, I can then get the 2017 source code free?

Hi Ewan,

Sorry for skipping your other post, the web site was being switched. The UserComboBox is going to be in the next update. The UserPopup control is the base that was needed for the combobox.

Hi guys, this is how it (should) work:

• The developer license is needed to open the designer in Visual Studio. The registration form shows up automatically if it’s the first installation (no license found) or if the license expired. Otherwise you need to click the wisej icon at the bottom right to show the registration form. If the existing license is a trial or beta, there is a REGISTER LICENSE button that will let you enter the new Developer License.

• The server license goes in Web.config here:

  <configuration>
    <appSettings>
      <add key="Wisej.LicenseKey" value=""/>

   

  It can replace an existing one. Wisej checks the license key when the application is loaded and saves it on the server so it doesn’t have to load the license over the over. It’s loaded and activated once. If the key in Web.config is different than the locally saved license then Wisej will activate the new key and download a new license.

When the license expires, wisej will also automatically try to download the renewal without requiring any manual intervention. That is only in case the installed version is newer that the license expiration date since licenses are perpetual – what expires is only  the free update period.

Hi,

I’d like to add to Tiago’s reply that we are on the same boat in terms of VWG projects. We have several large projects in production or close to production based on a build of VWG that we have painfully fixed over the years. We started planning, trying, testing (and throwing away code) to replace VWG two+ years ago. This is to say that we *need* Wisej in our projects as well. Our migration services is already using it to replace VWG projects so we basically will have the same issues as all the VWG developers that decide to try Wisej.

Best,
Luca

Hi Rui,

If you have a developer license, you have received two keys: a developer key (that you used on VS) and a server key that you must use on the web.config  of all the applications you publish on IIS.

Frank will correct me but as far as I understand the developer key can be activated three times (home, office and laptop).

The server key can be activated on three servers (is this correct Frank?) but I advise you to use the “minimum 2 dots” rule. I mean your URIs should be something like:

• myapp1.mycompany.net
• myapp2.mycompany.net

as I found out that

• myapp1.mycompany
• myapp2.mycompany

count as two activations. Well, at least it happened to me…
