So the web is pretty advanced...

I use TreeViews quite a bit. Awesome things TreeViews. And I like to have a timer to refresh them (database query in the background, then update the TreeNodes' Color, Text, etc.). Cross-thread issue not a problem. BUT! Two things... Scrolling problems. Resolved after a brief online search. Setting the SelectedNode ensures that the node is visible. So, if the user selects a node, then collapses that branch, the next refresh uncollapses the branch! That took a bit of pounding to nail down.

Standards across all .Net platforms: 1. Xaml - whilst not identical (currently) across all platforms that use Xaml, it is tansferrable. 2. MVVM pattern - see point 1. WinForm is a unicorn when compared to WPF... ;P

Angular! Say no more! To be fair most web stuff is crap... It's not their fault, developing interacting app on stuff that only render text almost like one want is not that easy... Anyway try that: [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) you might be pleasantly surprised! :)

Yep, the best way to solve the internet issues is to focus on the next Framework.

So highly advanced even that after 24 years of HTML and who knows how many versions and framework after framework and the second full installment of Angular that is developed and supported by one of the biggest tech companies in the world with the first major update A FRIGGIN DATE INPUT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!! :mad: :wtf: :omg: So I'm doing a simple web site using Angular 4. The following just does not work.
And in my TypeScript:
this.myDate = someInitialDate;
This is pretty basic stuff if you ask me :wtf: I've been looking for a fix for over an hour, but I've come across sketchy solutions that seem to work until you enter some value manually. It seems the only solution is to use some third party date input control. If I knew how to import one using .NET Core, npm, WebPack, TypeScript and Angular imports... Sounds easy, but it gets downloaded to node_modules/some_datepicker, but also needs node_modules/something_else, it's all in TypeScript, I need to move it using WebPack because node_modules isn't public, but WebPack makes bundles, so I'd lose my single file, which I need in the TypeScript import to register it in Angular... :sigh: I miss WinForms! :((

See http://momentjs.com/docs/ for formatting codes. Moment is now installed by default with the Angular 2 quickstart. To use moment with Angular 2, you must do the following: 1. Add the following line to the top of any *.ts file that uses moment: import * as moment from 'moment'; 2. Add the following line to the map object of systemjs.config.js: 'moment': 'node_modules/moment/moment.js', OR (using a predefined path in systemjs): 'moment': 'npm:moment/moment.js' Example: var d: string; var m = moment(d); if (m.isValid()) { return m.format("YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm a"); }

Yeah, I've heard good things about Vue.js. I actually recommended it to a coworker who wanted to introduce some JS framework in a fairly complicated and existing project. I mainly chose Angular because I'm expecting my software to become more complicated. And because businesses want Angular and it's a good learning experience.

Yeah, great idea... Do all the DOM work manually. If typing boilerplate code is what you'd like to spend waste your time on :~ Besides, that isn't really managing your complexity, it's just adding more! (syncing events and all that). Well, ok, I'm wasting it on some simple DatePicker, but I'm pretty sure "vanilla" JS has date issues too :)

Yeah, I know of Moment.js, great library! The issue isn't so much with the date as it is with the input element and binding though ;)

You could say that about any type of coding. You create little script libraries - purposed for whatever you need - and call them in your header, as needed. So - you don't keep reinventing the wheel - you just do a really good job of it and keep reusing it - AND - since you made it yourself - you can modify it, derive from it, and all that neat stuff at your leisure.

I dunno about Angular 2, but Angular 1 is needlessly complicated... The end results is that you have bugs and issue in relatively common component that are left unfixed for quite a long time... I get if the business wants it well you probably can't do much about it and just suck it up and move on. Anyway, just to I told you so, I would argue the following. What does AngularJS bring that is worth? - MVVM. VueJS does it much better, simpler and better performance - Auto downloading of component (HTML) template and related component's javascript. Ok this one is nice. Probably can be written from scratch without too much effort or replicated with requirejs, or maybe bundle everything ASP.NET MVC style - dependency injection. While this is a nice technical achievement it's not that big a deal. And then what Angular drag you down with: Complexity, foloows by long standing bug in main components....

Yeah, you may have convinced me... Angular 4 is a drag. I've lost two nights trying to get that friggin' datepicker to work. I'm not a big fan of TypeScript either, appears I favor less typing over type safety in JavaScript. I'll have a look at ReactJS as well.

It's the noisiest part of it. I don't know, it's as if increasingly interdependent tool chains have become a status symbol of sorts. It's a pity, because Angular 1 is absolutely fantastic, as are a lot of the first generation frameworks that we've seen, but as they become an "industry standard" the developers begin losing their minds. I'm beginning to suspect that this is happening because so much of the open source monetization strategy is rooted in training.

nice! :) Yeah I had problem in Angular with a datetime picker too, haha. I quite like TypeScript, I thought it really doesn't constrain me much at all. But if it does bother you occasionally just make your variable
anytype. If it bother you often drop it. But I am surprised that it does... Although if you are the one that brings it to the company I could understand that you have learning curve issues.... godspeed!A new .NET Serializer All in one Menu-Ribbon Bar Taking over the world since 1371!
