Yesterday I asked a question on SharePoint StackExchange: Client Side Rendering with Async dependencies I also asked Elio Struyf on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eliostruyf/status/540473976255152128 Good idea, Elio Struyf! Now I want to try it out. Preparations In this case I’ll be using my example from my blog post yesterday: Drag and Drop Image using Client Side Rendering I have created a new list and added a lookup field to my previous list. What I get is a Title of the lookup item, but not my custom field called DragAndDrop.

If some javascript code takes too much time to execute, you probably want to see what time your code or a part of the code takes to run. I found an idea in Dave Cranes Ajax in Action. The book is a little bit old and the code provided below has been changed and simplified: var stopwatch = {}; stopwatch.watches = \[\]; stopwatch.getWatch = function(id, startNow) { var watch = stopwatch.

tmplItem() works even without ids. To get the current data: $(this).tmplItem().data; ```If you want to remove, just invoke the ajax and remove with [$.parents](http://api.jquery.com/parents/): $(this).parents(“li”).remove(); ##### Updating data inside tmplItems If you want to achieve some fancy dependency tracking, consider [knockout.js](http://knockoutjs.com/). But if you just want to update the data object inside a tmplItem, just change the object and call update: var t = $(this).tmplItem(); var obj = t.data; obj.Address = “hello avenue”; t.

In one of my previous posts I showed how to retrieve data from listdata.svc with jQuery $.getJSON method. Getting data is very simple, listdata.svc provides a powerful restful interface with filtering, expanding and other features. Read the best and short introduction to listdata.svc by Suneet Sharma or a more detailed and technical article about filters, functions and operators by Mike Flasko at Microsoft with short examples here. Now back to listdata.

To integrate ASP.NET Ajax Toolkit is not the most straight forward task in SharePoint. If you want to take the risk, “Inspired by Technology” provides the best guide so far.
