Telerik MVC Grid won't refresh after delete

For a project we are using the Telerik MVC controls. I have to say that I was really pleased with the experience in general, although I had some small issues.

One of the problems I had was with the editing feature of the Telerik MVC Grid. Everything appears to work as expected except for the delete. The delete MVC action is called and the row is  deleted from the database but the grid does not refresh.

[HttpPost]
[GridAction]
public ActionResult DeleteCodetable(string codetableType, Codetable codetable)
{
_codetabelService.Delete(codetable);
//Rebind the grid
return LoadCodetable(codetableType, refreshCache: true);
}


It took me some time to find the answer on the forums. The delete action only passes the id of the element to delete to the action method. This causes some model binding validation errors as the Code and Description field are required on my Codetable object.



public class Codetable
{
[Required]
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public virtual string Code { get; set; }
[Required]
public virtual string Description{ get; set; }
}


By design if there are model state errors (validation didn't work) the grid is not rebound. So when the DeleteCodetable method returns the result, the grid will not refresh. I solved it by introducing the IgnoreModelErrors attribute in my code.



[HttpPost]
[IgnoreModelErrors("Code,Description"]
[GridAction]
public ActionResult DeleteCodetable(string codetableType, Codetable codetable)
{
_codetabelService.Delete(codetable);
//Rebind the grid
return LoadCodetable(codetableType, refreshCache: true);
}

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
