ASP.Net MVC: ASP.NET application giving JavaScript error "_doPostBack is undefined" in IE10.

Introduction 

Sometime you will get Javascript error on Production server that "_doPostBack is undefined" erro in IE10.

Background

Actually every .net build contains definition for application to run on particular browser. but sometime if you system doesn't have latest fixes installed you will get some issues. like above in IE10. It will not come for every application.  This will come in the application where you have a <asp:linkbutton> and it requires Javascript to postback. There come the error in IE10. It will run fine in IE9. I searched lot about this and found a really good article from Scott Hanselman's blog about this, from where i got the solution and sharing it to all who are facing this issue. here is the extract from the blog that resolved my issue.

Using the code 

To resolve this you have 2 kind of solution.
#1. Machine wide 
For this fix there is hotfix by microsoft that will update those and resolve the error for all application. The fixes solve the browser-detection issue forever for all sites on a machine. These will be rolled up into future versions of the framework and will eventually also be on Windows Update.
What the fixes do is update the ie.browser and firefox.browser files in \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\Config\Browsers with new and future-proofed versions of these browser definitions. Nothing else is affected. 
 #2. Application wide 
 If you don't have access to the whole machine and/or just want to update a single project, use NuGet to install the App_BrowsersUpdate package. Your site structure in Solution Explorer will then look like the image at right. Note that NuGet uses .NET 4, so for systems that have only .NET 2, you'll need to get the ZIP file and put the new browser files in App_Browsers manually.  
Updating the whole machine is the preferred way to fix this.

LINQ: Using int.TryParse() within a LINQ where clause

I pretty new to LINQ, and I’m keen to get more experience using it, so whenever an opportunity arises I like to try writing LINQ queries. I needed to write a method to extract a comma separated list of numbers from a config file, and return this as List. I was looking at ways to do this using LINQ, but hit a problem. I wanted my LINQ query to filter out any values in the CSV string that could not be parsed as an int, without causing an exception. Using int.TryParse() seemed like a possible solution, but I had problems because the TryParse() method has an out parameter to store the parsed result. I ended up with the code below, which seems to work, but looks very messy, because I think it is parsing the string twice. public static List<int> AuthorisedGroups { get       {             string[] authorisedGroupsStr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AuthorisedGroups"].Split(new char[] { ...

Step 1 : Go to the command prompt and run the following  commanad aspnet_regsql.exe -S <ServerName>- E -ssadd -sstype p where < ServerName > is the  name of the server where your  Database is located. here for my local machine we have given (local). Before running the command we need to check  file v4.0.30319 on the following path C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework if it is not found then we need to install  it.   After running the command it will create database for SQL session tables. So now go to the SQL server and there we can see that it has created Database named “ASPState”.
