Silverlight getting loaded again and again in Firefox - c#

I am using Silverlight.CreateObject function to create a object tag with a xap which is dynamic i.e. it does it on a click on something. And when u click that back again it gets disappeared. When u click it again, it should show the XAP again without loading it again(as it has been downloaded once).
All works fine in IE. But in Firefox when I click it again, it starts loading it again.
In fiddler it is showing Private Cache for both IE and Firefox.
Can someone help me?

In firefox, when you hide a DOM element that contains a SL app, the SL application is re-initialized. we used jQuery to remove the object tag, then hide the element:
$("#element object").remove();
$("#element").hide();
...before you do show() you have to re-create the SL object tag. above applies also when replacing a DOM element with $.ajax loaded content.

Why are you adding this level of complexity? Why aren't you just setting the visibility style of the HTML DIV or OBJECT tag?

Could you try using the Silverlight.js 2.0 version from Microsoft. That might solve the caching issue?

Find an element on web page using C#

Helo!
My goal is to retreive data from HPE Service Manager (HPSM). I use webBrowser component as it's seems the easyest way to me. At least I had no problem with authorization and opening search page but the things turned strange as I proceeded.
I need to find element with id "X13" on the page but
wb.document.getElementById("X13");
returns null although executing getElementById in IE and Chrome dev consoles still does the trick.
How can I find the element I need using C# and webBrowser component?

Selenium webdriver C# - Unable to find the element in a grid developed using angular UI

I am trying to automate a web application developed using angular JS through selenium webdriver(C#) and in that i am trying to click on a cell in a angular UI grid, i tried finding by css selector or xpath but it didn't help.
Css selector is generating dynamic ID - #\31 460691734316-0-uiGrid-00KQ-cell > div
Xpath is also dynamic //*[#id="1460691734316-0-uiGrid-00KQ-cell"]/div
and i tried using
driver.FindElements(By.CssSelector("*[id^='1460'][id$='cell']"));
but it didn't help
any help will be highly appreciated. I can send more details if needed
For my particular problem with the HTML page containing iframes and developed with AnglularJS the following trick saved me a lot of time: In the DOM I clearly saw that there is an iframe which wraps all the content. So following code supposed to work:
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
waitUntilVisibleByXPath("//h2[contains(text(), 'Creative chooser')]");
But it was not working and told me something like "Cannot switch to frame. Window was closed". Then I modified the code to:
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
waitUntilVisibleByXPath("//h2[contains(text(), 'Creative chooser')]");
After this everything went smoothly. So evidently Angular was mangling something with iframes and just after loading the page when you expect that driver is focused on default content it was focused by some already removed by Angular frame. Hope this may help some of you.
What about trying to find the element with Selenium IDE which is a plugin of firefox ?
In the IDE, you can easily find the selector using selecting the element with GUI
Rather than identifying the element specifically by its ID, could you use the elements around it instead? Is this cell within a table and at a consistent position? Is there a parent element you could more consistently select and iterate through the children in your C# program to identify the appropriate cell you're looking for?

Modal that opens an IFRAME (umbraco)

I'v got a problem when opening a Modal window that loads a JFrame.
The file loaded in the JFrame is a aspx file with a tag of /umbraco/controls/Tree/TreeControl.ascx. The modal loads and any text i put in is loaded but the TreeControl will not load. Iv used this ascx file in other places and it works greate if I load it via a normal page call. If you ar not familiar with umbraco Tree. It's basiclly a jquery tree that loads xml nodes.
Tried to copy code here. But couldnt get formatting to work.
Thx for any help
Best Regards
Marthin
This is no longer a problem for me with the new version of Umbraco 4.5

Page doesn't un-cache itself in ASP.NET C#

I sometimes find that I need to press CTRL+REFRESH BUTTON (or simply REFRESH BUTTON) in order for pages to be updated.
I thought this may have been a problem with using AJAX Update Panel and things, but it also happens on pages where there is no AJAX partial rendering.
I have also removed if(!isPostBack), and yet still I need to refresh the page for the contents to be updated.
Is it to do with the cache?
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I believe it only happens with IE 7 (which I am using). I tried the same feature with Chrome, and it worked as it is supposed to.
EDIT: Unfortuanetly, it is not as easy as setting to cache header to 0 or in IE retriving the latest page always on page load. I have done these and the same problem happens.
For instance, on one part of my site, you can change the profile picture. If I choose to remove the profile picture (which should then set to the default picture), it only deletes the picture (but doesnt display the default picture). The page loads again but it still references to the picture I deleted (so I get an X for the picture). I have to go onto a different page, and then back to the profile page for me to see the default picture. CTRL + REFRESH also works.
Note that this particular problem happens under all browsers (Chrome included).
If it helps, I am using Content pages which are in a master page.
Changing your browser cache settings will fix the problem locally, but to fix it for a general case, add the header "Expires: 0" to your outbound page, which will prevent browsers from caching it at all.
To do this in C#, add this code to the page load event:
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0");
Ctrl+refresh forces you IE to reload page from server instead of using locally cached version. First, check your browser's settings: Settings - General - Browsing history. "Check for newer versions of stored pages" should be set to "Automatically". Then, check if you're adding any "expires" header to your pages.
You can also consider setting the caching policy on the response object or set the entity tag to something different every time...

Html rendered under asp:updatepanel does not appear in page source

I am working with .net c#.
Is there a way to see the rendered html code under the updatepanel?
Thanks
more info:
I dynamically generate UI controls and place them in a asp:Panel control I have under updatePanel. My page is initially almost empty, and I add about 50 new controls upon button click. However, I cannot see the html code generated in the page source. as in, I can see my textfield on the screen but I cannot see the corresponding code in the html source on my browser.
Thanks again.
What are you using to view the source? If you are using the View Source functionality in some browsers, this may only be showing you the initial server response, and anything dynamically inserted into the page in an AJAX call might not appear.
If you use a tool like Firebug you can watch the current state of the DOM, which will show you any dynamically inserted elements.
With Internet Explorer you can use the Developer Tools (IE8) to view the actual source, not just the initial source. As Tom said Firebug will do the same thing in Firefox, and Safari has a similar option that I can't remember off hand what it's called.
Basically, you need to inspect the DOM instead of the html source. Addins like Firebug for firefox and Developer Tools for IE8 would allow you to inspect the DOM and even allow you to update them dynamically.
If you need to view HTML instead of the DOM representation, you can use Fiddler or Firebug's NET Panel, which will let you debug HTTP traffic and see the response given for the AJAX calls.
It does appear over here, just like normal ASP.net controls, just there is a little bit of ajax code that does the updating. Can you be more specific about what are you looking for?
