There are a few limitations of Entity Framework 6.x that require various work-arounds. One of those limitations is not being able to take direct advantage of entity mappings that are defined. However, it is possible to utilize Entity Framework’s API’s to retrieve and consume this information.

Angular multiselect dropdown
posted on November 22, 2016 by long2know in angular, plunker
Yesterday I started working on a conversion of my Angular 1.x multiselect dropdown to Angular 2.x In a short amount of time, I think I’ve made pretty good progress. It’s not complete, but I was happy to be able to quickly get something comparable to my Angular 1.x directive.
Angular Filter Pipes
posted on November 21, 2016 by long2know in angular, plunker
As of late, I’ve really been getting more and more into Angular. For me, the important aspects are learning how to do what I’ve done with v1.x in the newer framework. This involves a great deal of understanding of the difference between v1.x and v2.x. Since one of my most popular Angular 1.x directives is the Multiselect Dropdown w/ Checkboxes, I decided to tackle converting it in incremental steps. From the top, the first piece of significant functionality is filtering the list of items.
EDIT: Be sure to check out my newer article on Angular Pipes.
Angular CapsLock Directive

In my previous post, I put together a little demo showing how to detect if capslock is depressed and how to warn the user. To make this a bit more useful and reusable, I rolled it into an Angular 1.x directive.

Letting a user know that CapsLock is set can be a UI nicety. I needed this feature earlier today so I put together a demo.

Recently, I was reading an article about modifying data on a response in Angular. With my previous posts dealing with TimeZones and such, it made me curious if I could also transform my data on each POST in Angular.

The Angular2 team has done a good job with their newish Bootstrap Angular2 components. I’ve been playing with them for a while.
Working with User Local Timezone

In an application that I’m currently working on, that deals with Sales data, there are instances when I need to apply date comparisons relative to a user’s local time. This is an interesting problem with which to deal.

Dates are pretty easy to manage with pure JavaScript. The other day though, I discovered a bug in a bit of date manipulating code.
