Add code behind to SharePoint 2013 master page

One way is to add delegate control to master page. Follow the article: http://www.sharepointpals.com/post/Step-by-step-procedures-to-create-a-delegate-control-in-SharePoint-2010

However for some reason, it’s required to set ControlSrc to “~/_ControlTemplates/15/…” or else the control won’t be used.

C# String problems

When retrieving HTML or string content from some editors such as SharePoint editor, the editor may insert zero-width or control characters in the content that can cause problem methods like string.IndexOf, string.Compare, string.Replace etc.

If the application only uses English language, it’s possible to strip all control characters from the data before doing other string operations.

Use the Regex to do so

data = Regex.Replace(data, @”[^x20-x7F]”, “”);

This line will remove all characters that are not in the range 0x20 to 0x7F in the ASCII table.

Then proceed to do string operations as per normal.

Deployment stuck at deploying in Sharepoint Solutions Manager

From Central Admin, go to  System Settings > Manage Farm Solutions, then “stop” the deployment of the WSP from there.
Before deploying the solution using central admin, make sure that the sptimer service and sp web services root application pool is running on all servers (WFE and APP)
The reason why it got stuck is that it couldn’t complete the deployment on one or more servers. Make sure that all the servers are accessible and have enough space.
