Flot Graph is not rendering on IE9



You might have come across a situation when you use jquery.flot.js for graphs ,flot graphs were not generated in IE9 due to the following Javascript Error in "jquery.flot.js" file. While debugging you will get the error like :
"unable to get value of the property "init_" : object is null or undefined ".

In  the method ConstuctCanvas(), in place of this snippet:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function makeCanvas(width, height)
      {
        var c = document.createElement('canvas');
        c.width = width;
        c.height = height;
        if ($.browser.msie) // excanvas hack
          c = window.G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(c);
        return c;
      }
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Use the following snippet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function makeCanvas(width, height) {
       var c = document.createElement('canvas');
       c.width = width;
       c.height = height;
      if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
             c = window.G_vmlCanvasManager.initElement(c);
             return c;
                                                              }
---------------------------------------------------------------------


and inside the same ConstructCanvas() method there will be snippet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ($.browser.msie) // excanvas hack
        window.G_vmlCanvasManager.init_(document);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace the above  snippet with the following snippet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
window.G_vmlCanvasManager.init_(document);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the above two snippet i have provided, you need to observe only one thing, ie i am checking for the IE browser version.If the browser is 'MicroSoft Internet Explorer' and the browser version is older than 9.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 if (($.browser.msie) && (( parseInt($.browser.version, 10) ) < 9))
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This will fix the issue.


Hope this will help

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
