The type 'ASP.global_asax' exists in both DLLs

When trying to compile .Net web project I encountered following error.

"The type 'ASP.global_asax' exists in both 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\timesheet\15a75c54\898b48b9\assembly\dl3\58b062b2\00ceda54_c98cc801\App_global.asax.DLL' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\timesheet\15a75c54\898b48b9\App_global.asax.q_h6dbfx.dll' c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\timesheet\15a75c54\898b48b9\App_Web_admin.master.fdf7a39c.zecazgwd.0.cs "

When further troubleshooting in found that problem occurred in a virtual application's bin folder. Inside bin-folder there were two files.

App_global.asax.dll

App_global.asax.compiled

Removing these resolves the error for me.

Telerik Radeditor show remaining character count

We can use jQuery to show remaining character count for a RadEditor as shown below.  This will wok for both design and HTML modes. Here MaxTextLength is considered as the upper character limit,

JS

var textLength;

var maxTextLength;

 function radEditorOnClientLoad(editor, args) {

   maxTextLength = editor.get_maxTextLength();

    textLength = editor.get_text().length;

       if (textLength > maxTextLength)

        $('#charCountSpan' ).html("Characters Remaining: Limit Exceeded ");

    else

        $('#charCountSpan').html("Characters Remaining: " + (maxTextLength - textLength) );

    

    $(editor.get_textArea()).on("input propertychange change keyup", ChangeCharacterCount);

    $(editor.get_contentArea()).on("input propertychange change keyup", ChangeCharacterCount);

}

function ChangeCharacterCount( ) {

var editorElement = $find(<%= txtDetails.ClientID %>);

textLength = editorElement.get_text().length;

                if (textLength > maxTextLength)

                    $('#charCountSpan').html("Characters Remaining: <span class='LimitExceed'>Limit Exceeded </span>");

                else

                   $('#charCountSpan').html("Characters Remaining: " + numberWithCommas(maxTextLength - textLength));

}

HTML

 <telerik:RadEditor ID="txtDetails" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"   MaxTextLength ="2000" OnClientLoad="radEditorOnClientLoad" ></telerik:RadEditor>

 <span id="charCountSpan" runat ="server" class="float-right"></span>

Detect input text box change

 We can use jQuery to identify input text change as shown below. This method uses setTimeout and clearTimeout to force the change event fire only after user finishes typing.

JS

var timer;
$("#title").on("input", function(e) {
  var textValue = $(this).val();
  if ($(this).data("lastvalue") != textValue ) {

    $(this).data("lastvalue", textValue );
    clearTimeout(timer);

    timer = setTimeout(function() {
      //code to handle change
      console.log(textValue);
    }, 500);
  };
});

HTML

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="title">

                value = value.replace(/^https?:\/\//, '');

                return 'http://' + value;
