Javascript with ASP.Net : Use Javascript to iterate through a gridview and find checkbox in each row

I was looking for a mechanism to iterate over a gridview using Javascript. I had to get the checkbox in each row and update that checkbox's checked status according to the corresponding header columns checkbox's status.

Just after googling a little bit , I found exactly what I was looking for. The following link has done the same thing. Have a look at this:

ASP.NET: Automatically convert http urls into https url

Sometimes we need to navigate securely within the website because of some confidential information. The user might use just http but we need to change it into https. So the approach I like best is to do it in masterpage level. We can write a small code snippet in the page load section of the masterpage which checks if the page is http or not. If it is http then changes it to https. Following are the line of codes that we need to put in the master page's page load function. I did not come up with these code, I collected it from the internet. So I am not taking any credit for the code ;)

//Redirect to https if typed http.

string redirectUrl = null;
HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;

// if we want HTTPS and it is currently HTTP
if (!context.Request.IsSecureConnection)
{
redirectUrl = context.Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http:", "https:");
}

// check if we need to redirect, and if so use redirectUrl to do the job
if (redirectUrl != null)
context.Response.Redirect(redirectUrl);

Hope it helps. :)

ASP.NET: How to create a custom error page.

ASP.NET has this useful feature that you can set a custom error page. Whenever an error occurs in the system, you are automatically redirected to the custom error page. By using this feature you can avoid showing the ugly yellow page and the error details to the user. How to implement this? Well the following link has described it all in details. :)

ASP.NET: Adding check/uncheck all button with a gridview.

It is a common question for many developers that
1) How to add a checkbox that appears with each row of a gridview.
2) How to implement check/uncheck all functionality.

I found a useful tutorial on the internet which pretty much covers both of the above questions.
Take a look at this here:

ASP.NET : How to access/read value from any control within a repeater.

We often need to read values from a databound control inside a repeater. How to read the control?

This is very simple. The following code sample has all in it. We assume that the repeater variable is repeaterObj and the control we want to access has the id "controlId". The control resides under itemtemplate. Then the code will be:

repeaterObj.ItemTemplate.Items[0].findControl("controlId");

To read the value from a label use :

string labelText = repeaterObj.ItemTemplate.Items[0].findControl("controlId").Text;
