sitefinity

I have been getting my feet wet using async/await and most of what I have been reading states "Don't Block on Async Code" with the exception of the main function in a console application. I find myself unable to follow this simple rule :( My application depends heavily on a WebAPI layer. The client I am using in the MVC apllication is using the async methods on System.Net.Http.HttpClient to call API methods. Currently I am handling it two ways. In some places we are getting the result immediately after calling the client: //WebAPI Client public object GetSomething(int id) { var task = _client

We've tested the Jquery UI (jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.min.js) Autocomplete function in a simple HTML page which worked. We then copy the same code into an Asp.net User Control and it stops working. The Javascript error reads "$searchBox.autocomplete is not a function". This user control is being used in an Asp.net Sitefinity 3.7 project. On the page it has a ScriptManager. Not sure what else I can add... Anyone know what's going on? Ammend: <script src="/js/jquery-1.5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="/js/jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

When I use the BeginFormSitefinity helper the form disappears after submitting, and then the postback is done. The expected behavior would be only the postback to be done. I went to the browser and investigated and I found out that when you use BeginFormSitefinity an extra script is added to your html. That script basically creates a new form with display = none. And appends your form to the "invisible" form, and thus your form disappears after submitting. I'm using Sitefinity 8.1, and I would like to know if is there any way to avoid this? This is the script added (I have no control over it):

Recently our customers started to complain about poor performance on one of our servers. This contains multiple large CMS implementations and alot small websites using Sitefinity. Our Hosting team is now trying to find the bottlenecks in our environments, since there are some major issues with loadtimes. I've been given the task to specify one big list of things to look out for, devided into different the parts (IIS, ASP.NET, Web specific). I think it'd be good to find out how many instances of the Sitecore CMS we can run on one server according to the Sitecore documentation e.d. We want to be

Is it possible to pass a variable to a linked .js file? I tried this: <sf:JsFileLink ID="JQueryLoader" runat="server" ScriptType="Custom" FileName="~/Files/Scripts/rotatorLoader.js?timeout=1000" /> But firebug is telling me that timeout is not defined. Here is the code for that .js file: $(document).ready(function() { $("#rotator > ul").tabs({ fx: { opacity: "toggle"} }).tabs("rotate", timeout, true); }); I am using <sf:JsFileLink ... /> tag is because the website I am working in utilizes sitefinity and this tag allows me to load external .js files. UPDATE: I was able to 'trick' the include by
