In this Step by step Install jQueryUI Themes in your MVC App in 5 Minutes 

   we see how to get your chosen jQueryUI Theme and use it inside your MVC application in 5 minutes, following this simple steps :

1) Select a Theme & download it
2) Select ONLY the script and style files you need
3) Reference them from your HTML5 file


This is how this jQueryUI Application is shown in the Ripple Mobile Emulator , for Nexus Galaxy:

Install jQueryUI Themes in your MVC App in 5 Minutes

The whole process of downloading a jQueryUI Theme , selecting the files you need , and using the Theme in your MVC app, are as following:

1) Select a Theme & download it:

Browse to jQueryUI.com , and open the "Themes" page:

Select from the ThemeRoller the Theme you want to apply to your web site , clicking the "Download" button :

We use the former version because it is more stable .
Check all checkboxes if they are not :

Download the theme to your machine.

2)  Select ONLY the script and style files you need:

Unzip and open the downloaded theme, as you can see here:

Copy- paste the CSS and JS folders to your MVC project.
The ONLY files that the theme will need are the following:

1) JS folder :
     "jquery-X.X.X.min.js"
     "jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js"

2) CSS folder :
     "jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.css"



Inside the JS folder, replace the jQuery framework script file that comes with the jQueryUI theme, with the latest version:

And replace the corresponding reference in the HTML5 file :

To take advantage of a Mobile Emulator, take a look at this short tutorial on installing the FREE Ripple Emulator.

That's all. Our jQueryUI theme will be displayed this way:

Step by step how to send an HTTP DELETE Request to an RESTful WCF Service using Fiddler

In this tutorial we'll learn how to create an HTTP DELETE Request to an RESTful WCF application using Fiddler. 
We'll use Fiddler for testing purposes of a RESTful WCF application, sending  HTTP DELETE requests. We'll start with a WCF application,  and we'll remove an entry using Fiddler, showing as follows :





First of all, we have to download the FREE Fiddler tool from this web site :



Now check the settings of the Operation Contract at the WCF Service Contract, in order to provide exactly what it is expected:

The WebInvoke is set to handle the DELETE HTTP method, and the request format is supposed to be JSON, the same as the response format. So, we'll send what the WCF wants.
Open Fiddler and find the "Composer" option:




Then type in the WCF service URL and select "DELETE" HTTP method from the list. Set the request Headers as follows: (the Content-Length  will be filled by Fiddler for you):

Fill the Request Body, and take care to fill the ID of the record to remove. The rest of fields is just optional.

Press the "EXECUTE" button  to send the request. If you set a breakpoint inside the WCF operation, you'll see the following in action :

As you see, WCF succeeded at identifying inside the JSON the ID to erase.
Then the response is sent to Fiddler, with a "true" value, because everything went fine:

And the database shows the deleted value:

If you want to see the RESTful WCF that we're using here, see this tutorial.

That's all....

Happy programming.....

How to send an HTTP DELETE Request to a RESTful ODataController Web API Service using Postman

In this post we'll learn Step by step how to send an HTTP DELETE Request to a RESTful ODataController Web API Service using Postman. 
We'll use Postman to test a RESTful OData Web API application, sending an HTTP DELETE request. We'll use a working OData Web API ODataController  built in a previous tutorial,   and we'll delete a record using  Postman :

In order to get Postman installed ,  go to the Chrome Tools >> Extensions   ,  search for "Postman" and install the App .

HTTP DELETE Request to a RESTful ODataController Web API with Postman

Now let's see how to call the OData Web API to delete an item :   in order to setup  the ODataController , there will be an ODataModelBuilder at the "Register" method called from the Global.asax file : it's important that the EntitySet name MUST be the same name of the Controller   , therefore we'll look for a "NotesController"  at the application :

Because there is a route prefix set ( "ODataV4" ) ,  we'll also append it to the URL : 

At the ODataController ,  we check for the "Delete" action method , since we're sending an HTTP DELETE request :

Why are we checking this ? Because we want to know what is ODataController method expecting : in our case , it expects a URI which must include an integer "key" ID  ( "[FromODataURI]" ) .  

The Port of the application can be extracted from the Web tab at the application properties:

Put all of this together , and you have the URI for the DELETE request : 

"http://localhost:21435/ODataV4/Notes(6)" :

Important : OData is case sensitive : therefore , if you type "notes" instead of "Notes" , you will not obtain any data.

After setting the URI and the DELETE method , write the "Content-Type" header :

Send the request :

The request details can be seen this way :

In the meantime , the ODataController at the RESTful WebAPI have handled the request with the ID in the ODataURI : 

The action method renders a response with code 410 "GONE" , to express that the record has been deleted , and Postman exposes it : 

That's all... 

In this tutorial we've learned how to send an HTTP DELETE Request to a RESTful  ODataController Web API Service using Postman.
Happy programming.....
