Custom ProgressBar using Javascript

Step 1:
Create below div tags in the aspx page.

<div id="modalOut" class="modalProgressOuter">
<div id="modalIn" class="modalProgressIn">
<img src="../../Themes/Theme2/ig_progressIndicator.gif" />
</div>
</div>

Step 2:

Create stylesheet with below classes.

div.modalProgressOuter
{
background-color:White;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
opacity:0.4;
position:absolute;
display:none;
}
div.modalProgressIn
{
vertical-align:middle;
}

Step 3:

Call the below javascript through control, i mean when you click on submit button..

function showProgress() {
var objModalProgress = document.getElementById("modalOut");
var objModalIn = document.getElementById("modalIn");
if (objModalProgress != null) {
objModalIn.style.marginLeft = parseInt(document.body.offsetWidth) / 2;
objModalIn.style.marginTop = parseInt(document.body.offsetHeight) / 2;
objModalProgress.style.height = document.body.offsetHeight;
objModalProgress.style.width = document.body.offsetWidth;
objModalProgress.style.display = "block";
objModalProgress.style.left = 10;
objModalProgress.style.top = 25;
}
}





Javascript Best Practices 2

Always, Always Use Semicolons.

If you not use ;(semicolon) in the code, it's very difficult to find the error.

So please try to use everystatement with semi colon.

var someItem = 'some string'
function doSomething() {
return 'something'
}

Better

var someItem = 'some string';
function doSomething() {
return 'something';
}

Javascript Best Practices 1

Remove "Language" in the Script tag
we have used years ago, Because we unable to find that language.

Now its deprecated, so leave it out.
<script type="text/javascript" language='javascript' >
...
</script >

C# 4.0 -Optional Parameters

I was really excited, when i have seen upcoming feature in c# 4.0, After come across some article, This feature will be very useful.


Optional Parameters

Let’s say I have a class Employee and I provide few overloads of the constructor to enable making certain parameters as optional as follows:

Older Method

public class Employee
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Qualification { get; set; }
public string MiddleName { get; set; }

public Employee(string firstName, string lastName)
{
FirstName= firstName;
LastName= lastName;
Qualification= "N/A";
MiddleName= string.Empty;
}
public Employee(string firstName, string lastName, string qualification)
{
FirstName= firstName;
LastName= lastName;
Qualification= qualification;
MiddleName= string.Empty;

}
public Employee(string firstName, string lastName, string qualification,
string middleName)
{
FirstName= firstName;
LastName= lastName;
Qualification= qualification;
MiddleName= middleName
}
}

Newer Method

public Employee(string firstName, string lastName,
string qualification = "N/A", string middleName = "")
{
FirstName= firstName;
LastName= lastName;
Qualification= qualification;
MiddleName = middleName;
}

Drag & Drop In Infragistics New Framework

Infragistics(2009.1), In the new version drag & drop features implemented. We can implement this feature in the html element.

Note:This is very good support for DIV element in the HTML. Dont use other thin div. when you add more functionality in the page, it may give problem when you use other than DIV.

Make sure Div elment in the outermost..

Example:

<div id="tech1"><table><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table>
</div>


Step 1:

Download original version from Infragistics 2008 or 2009

Step 2:

Download below three files from Infragistics installed folder.

1)igDragDrop.js
2)5_igObjects.js
3)igAnimation.js

Maintain same order, when you add the Above javascript in the page.

Step 3:

Add the below script in the page, which you are going to implement the drag & drop feature.This is the script will allow the drag and drop feature.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof (Sys) !== 'undefined')
{
Sys.Application.notifyScriptLoaded();
Sys.Application.add_load(appLoaded);
}
</script>

Step 4:

In the below script have two method which will enable the drag & drop for html elements.Also am adding the script in the addsource element and adddrag element.

1)addSourceElement
2)addTargetElement

It will deside the from and destination of the elements.

function appLoaded() {
ddb = new $IG.DragDropBehavior();
ddb.set_defaultDropAction($IG.DragDropAction.Insert);
ddb.set_dragDropMode($IG.DragDropEffects.Move);
var list = $get("DragUnassign");
var count = list.childNodes.length;
for (var i = 0; i <>
var child = list.childNodes[i];
if (child.getAttribute)
ddb.addSourceElement(child);
}
for (var k in techIds) {
ddb.addTargetElement($get(techIds[k]), true); //Techids nothing but a div //element of the id
var jobs = $get(techIds[k]);
if (jobs != null) {
if (jobs.childNodes != null) {
var jobCount = jobs.childNodes.length;
for (var x = 0; x <>
var job = jobs.childNodes[x];
if (job.getAttribute)
ddb.addSourceElement(job);
}
}
}
}
ddb.addTargetElement($get("DragUnassign"), true);
ddb.get_events().addDropHandler(dropHandler);
var autoComplete = $find('Auto');
}

Step 5:

In this method "$IG.DragDropBehavior()" we have method called drop Handler.

This is method it will enable the events.


Note:In the present version, It cannot write a server side method for the drag & drop feature.

Step 6:


This is the method will call the webservice.

function dropHandler(sender, args)
{
var manager = args.get_manager();
if (args.get_manager()._dragging == true) {
var progressEnable = false;
var target = manager.get_targetElement().id.replace("tech", "");
techId = target;

var obtblid = techId.replace("tech", "parent");
var sourceElement = manager.get_source().element.id;
var sourceObject = manager.get_source().element.offsetParent.id;
////////////////////This is for Dragging & droping Jobs from Unassigned to Technician////////////
if ((sourceObject == "DragUnassign") && (manager.get_targetElement().id.indexOf("tech") != -1)) {
progressEnable = true;
LTDWebApp.WebClient.WebPages.Dispatcher.TechDetails.AssignJob(target, sourceElement,drcCommitdate, "ADD", onSuccessDrag, onFailureDrag);
}
//////////////////// End for Dragging Jobs from Unassigned to Technician////////////////////////
////////////////////This is for Dragging & droping Jobs from Technician to Technician////////////
else if ((sourceObject.indexOf("tech") != -1) && (manager.get_targetElement().id.indexOf("tech") != -1)) {
progressEnable = true;
LTDWebApp.WebClient.WebPages.Dispatcher.TechDetails.AssignJob(target, sourceElement,drcCommitdate, "UPDATE", onSuccessDrag, onFailureDrag);
}
////////////////////End for Dragging & droping Jobs from Technician to Technician////////////
else
{
////////////////////This is for Dragging & droping Jobs from Technician to Unassigned ////////////
progressEnable = true;
LTDWebApp.WebClient.WebPages.Dispatcher.TechDetails.UnassignJob(sourceElement);
//LTDWebApp.WebClient.WebPages.Dispatcher.TechDetails.GetUnassignedJobs(wcgId, drcCommitdate, onSuccessDragUnassign, onFailureDrag);
////////////////////End for Dragging & droping Jobs from Technician to Unassigned////////////
}
if (progressEnable == true)
{
showProgress(techId.replace("tech", "")); ////////Showing the Progress Bar
}
}
}

Step 7:

function onSuccessDrag(Result)
{
var ddb = new $IG.DragDropBehavior();
ddb.set_defaultDropAction($IG.DragDropAction.Insert);
ddb.set_dragDropMode($IG.DragDropEffects.Move);
var obtblid = "parent"+techId;
var objTbl = document.getElementById(obtblid);
var objTbody = objTbl.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0];
objTbl.setAttribute("cellpadding", "0");
objTbl.setAttribute("cellspacing", "0");
objTbl.setAttribute("frame", "box");
objTbl.setAttribute("className", "tblAssignParenttech");
var preRows = objTbody.rows.length;
for (j = 0; j <>
{
if (j != 0)
{
objTbody.removeChild(objTbody.rows[j]);
}
}
var objRow = document.createElement("tr");
var objTd = document.createElement("td");
var objDiv = document.createElement("div");
objRow.setAttribute("className", "tblAssignParenttechRow");
objDiv.setAttribute("className", "tblscrollAssign");
objDiv.setAttribute("id", "tech"+techId);
var len = Result.length;
for (i = 0; i <>
objSplit = Result[i].split("||");
jobId = objSplit[0];
JobInterval = objSplit[1];
JobMON = objSplit[2];
var objchildjobDiv = document.createElement("div");
objchildjobDiv.setAttribute("id", jobId);
var objchildTbl = document.createElement("table");
var objchildTblBody = document.createElement("tbody");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("border", "0");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("width", "100%");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("cellpadding", "3");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("cellspacing", "1");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("className", "liBorder");
var objchildRow = document.createElement("tr");
var objchildTd = document.createElement("td");
objchildTd.setAttribute("className", "borderstyle");
var objchildTd1 = document.createElement("td");
objchildTd.innerText = JobInterval;
objchildTd1.innerText = JobMON;
objchildRow.appendChild(objchildTd);
objchildRow.setAttribute("ondblclick", "javscript:showJob(this);");
objchildRow.appendChild(objchildTd1);
objchildTblBody.appendChild(objchildRow);
objchildTbl.appendChild(objchildTblBody);
objchildjobDiv.appendChild(objchildTbl);
objDiv.appendChild(objchildjobDiv);
ddb.addSourceElement(objchildjobDiv);
}
objTd.appendChild(objDiv);
objRow.appendChild(objTd);
objTbody.appendChild(objRow);
ddb.set_defaultDropAction($IG.DragDropAction.Insert);
ddb.addTargetElement($get("DragUnassign"), true);
ddb.addTargetElement($get("tech" + techId), true);
ddb.get_events().addDropHandler(dropHandler);
hidemodalProgress();
}


Step 8:

Once the request is succeed with above method. I am generating the client side table with array data using javascript.

function onSuccessDrag(Result)
{
var ddb = new $IG.DragDropBehavior();
ddb.set_defaultDropAction($IG.DragDropAction.Insert);
ddb.set_dragDropMode($IG.DragDropEffects.Move);
var obtblid = "parent"+techId;
var objTbl = document.getElementById(obtblid);
var objTbody = objTbl.getElementsByTagName("tbody")[0];
objTbl.setAttribute("cellpadding", "0");
objTbl.setAttribute("cellspacing", "0");
objTbl.setAttribute("frame", "box");
objTbl.setAttribute("className", "tblAssignParenttech");
var preRows = objTbody.rows.length;
for (j = 0; j <>
{
if (j != 0)
{
objTbody.removeChild(objTbody.rows[j]);
}
}
var objRow = document.createElement("tr");
var objTd = document.createElement("td");
var objDiv = document.createElement("div");
objRow.setAttribute("className", "tblAssignParenttechRow");
objDiv.setAttribute("className", "tblscrollAssign");
objDiv.setAttribute("id", "tech"+techId);
var len = Result.length;
for (i = 0; i <>
objSplit = Result[i].split("||");
jobId = objSplit[0];
JobInterval = objSplit[1];
JobMON = objSplit[2];
var objchildjobDiv = document.createElement("div");
objchildjobDiv.setAttribute("id", jobId);
var objchildTbl = document.createElement("table");
var objchildTblBody = document.createElement("tbody");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("border", "0");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("width", "100%");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("cellpadding", "3");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("cellspacing", "1");
objchildTbl.setAttribute("className", "liBorder");
var objchildRow = document.createElement("tr");
var objchildTd = document.createElement("td");
objchildTd.setAttribute("className", "borderstyle");
var objchildTd1 = document.createElement("td");
objchildTd.innerText = JobInterval;
objchildTd1.innerText = JobMON;
objchildRow.appendChild(objchildTd);
objchildRow.setAttribute("ondblclick", "javscript:showJob(this);");
objchildRow.appendChild(objchildTd1);
objchildTblBody.appendChild(objchildRow);
objchildTbl.appendChild(objchildTblBody);
objchildjobDiv.appendChild(objchildTbl);
objDiv.appendChild(objchildjobDiv);
ddb.addSourceElement(objchildjobDiv);
}
objTd.appendChild(objDiv);
objRow.appendChild(objTd);
objTbody.appendChild(objRow);
ddb.set_defaultDropAction($IG.DragDropAction.Insert);
ddb.addTargetElement($get("DragUnassign"), true);
ddb.addTargetElement($get("tech" + techId), true);
ddb.get_events().addDropHandler(dropHandler);
hidemodalProgress();

Generating javascript Id through C# (Instead of using control.clientID)

protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(),string.Empty,string.Format("{0}"), string.Format("var gridUniqueID = '{0}'; ", uwgDailyView.UniqueID))
}

fromdate always less than todate validation using javascript

function DateCompare()
{
objfromDt="12/01/2008";
objtoDt="11/01/2008";
var arrFrom=objfromDt.value.split('/');
var arrTo=objtoDt.value.split('/');
var strFromMonth=arrFrom[0];
var strFromDate=arrFrom[1];
var strToMonth=arrTo[0];
var strToDt=arrTo[1];
if(parseInt(arrFrom[0])<10)
{
strFromMonth=arrFrom[0].replace('0','');
}
if(parseInt(arrFrom[1])<10)
{
strFromDate=arrFrom[1].replace('0','');
}
if(parseInt(arrTo[0])<10)
{
strToMonth=arrTo[0].replace('0','');
}
if(parseInt(arrTo[1])<10)
{
strToDt=arrTo[1].replace('0','');
}
var mon1 = parseInt(strFromMonth);
var dt1 = parseInt(strFromDate);
var yr1 = parseInt(arrFrom[2]);

var mon2 = parseInt(strToMonth);
var dt2 = parseInt(strToDt);
var yr2 = parseInt(arrTo[2]);

var date1 = new Date(yr1, mon1, dt1);
var date2 = new Date(yr2, mon2, dt2);
if(date2 < date1)
{
alert("From date always less than to date");
return false;
}
}

Getting Start week date for the given date

function commonformat(objDate)
{
var strdate=objDate.split("/");
var yer=strdate[2];
var da=strdate[0];
var mon=strdate[1];
var cdat=new Date(yer,mon,da);
var countDay=cdat.getDay();
if(countDay!="0")
{
cdat.setDate(cdat.getDate()-countDay);
}
return cdat;
}

Finding Eventtop and EventLeft position Using javascript

var evnt=window.event;
var y =evnt.clientY + document.body.scrollTop + document.body.parentNode.scrollTop;
var x =evnt.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft + document.body.parentNode.scrollLeft;

You have to apply this top and left position value to style attribute of the control.

Dependency Caching Using Oracle 11g

Dependency Caching.

It is nothing but a one of the caching mechanism for interacting with the Database.

If any data changes happen in the database,

it will find out and full out the data only on that time. It wont go every time to

the database. In this am going to explain how to do dependency caching using Oracle

11g.Also this option not avilable earlier version of oracle 11g.


Example:

In oracle11 g, there is a method called OracleDependency using this have to achieve the Oracle dependency caching.

public DataSet GetTechnicianDrpdwnval()
{
try
{
DataSet DSTechSumDrp = new DataSet();
ltdConn = new OracleConnection();
ltdConn.ConnectionString = ltdConnString;
ltdCommand = new OracleCommand("USP_GetTechSumDropdown", ltdConn);
ltdCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
ltdCommand.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("Drp_Primaryduty", OracleDbType.RefCursor)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
ltdCommand.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("Drp_TypeOfWork", OracleDbType.RefCursor)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
ltdCommand.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("Drp_DispatchCenter", OracleDbType.RefCursor)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
///////////////////////////////Oracle Dependency Caching////////////////////////////////
objOracleDependency = new OracleDependency(ltdCommand);
ltdCommand.Notification.IsNotifiedOnce = false;

Typed Dataset Using Asp.net 3.5

Typed Dataset Using Asp.net 3.5

Before starting we will remember in Dotnet frame work 2.0. In this it will create only xsd and class file for that. But it will not create Adapters for retrieving dataset. We should use Sqldataadapter for getting the data. But in Asp.net 3.5 frame work it will create data adapter for that xsd. So we can get the typed dataset via adapter instead of getting from Sqldataadapter. See the step by step explanations with examples.


Step 1:

Create one employee database with table name called “contact” which has created for you. Open that database in server explorer of visual studio 2008. See picture A






Picture A

Step 2:

Create Contact.xsd file through add file option in project file. See picture B


Picture B

Step 3:

Drag and drop contact table in to the contact.xsd screen. After waiting few seconds it will create Contact.xsd file automatically. Now you can see in picture C


Picture C


Step 4

Writing few lines of code assigning this typed data values in gridview. See picture as well as the code to retrieve the typed dataset. Create one aspx page with gridview control. I am going to write the code in page load event for that page.

Example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ContactTableAdapters.ContactTableAdapter Dataadapt = new Dotnetspider.ContactTableAdapters.ContactTableAdapter();
grdlist.DataSource = Dataadapt.GetData();
grdlist.DataBind();
}

Note: ContactTableAdapter class will create automatically. This is the one main difference between frame work 2.0 and framework 3.5. But in 2.0 frame work will not create.

Happy Coding

Using Filter Expressions with an SQL Data Source in ASP.NET VB 2008

In Visual Studio 2008, we can filter the dataset in c# with out using sqlquery.

If you use sqldatasource in your project. we can filter the dataset in c# coding itself.

Example1

If (Session("FiltExp") <> Nothing) Then
SqlDataSource1.FilterExpression = Session("FiltExp").ToString()
End If

Example2

SqlDataSource1.FilterExpression = "city='" & DropDownList1.SelectedValue & "'"

Example3

SqlDataSource1.FilterExpression = "BirthDate > #" + dt + "#"
Session("FiltExp") = "BirthDate > #" + dt + "#"

Hidden Features in C#

1) Using @ for variable that are keyword.

var @object = new object();
var @string = "";
var @if = IpsoFacto();

2) Aliased Generics.

using ASimpleName = Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, List<string>>>;


Allows you to ASimpleName,instead of

Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, List<string>>>;

Use it when you would use the same generic big long complex thing in a lot of places.

Accessing server side event using Ajax 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008

Accessing server side event using Ajax 3.5 in visual studio 2008.

when we compare with earlier method,This may easy to write the code for developer.

step1 :

Include in your application system.web.extensions 3.5

Step 2:

In the script manager tag EnablePageMethods attribute make it true. it will help you to create method in the pagemethod class. Then only you can access the server event in the client side.


<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" EnablePageMethods="true" runat="server">
</asp:ScriptManager>

Step 3:

We should include the namespace over the server side method.[System.Web.Services.WebMethod].

Earlier we have used [Ajax.Ajaxmethod].

Example
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static string Message(string one,string two)
{
return one + two;
}

Step 4:
Client side. while calling the server side method. it will create two default methods. if it is succeed it will call OnGetMessageSuccess, and fails it will call OnGetMessageFailure.
Example

function GetCall()
{
PageMethods.Message("122","122",OnGetMessageSuccess, OnGetMessageFailure);
}
function OnGetMessageSuccess(result,userContext,methodName)
{
alert(result);
alert(userContext);
}
function OnGetMessageFailure(error,userContext,methodName)
{
alert(error.get_message());
}

Customizing "Start Page" in Visual Studio 2010

In visual studio 2010 coming with new feature called “Start page” Customization.

How to Register User Controls and Custom Controls in Web.config

Asp.net 2.0 makes control declarations much easier to manage.Instead of duplicating them on all your pages.just declare them once within the new pages-->controls section with in the web.config file of your application.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

<system.web>

<pages>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="bala" src="~/Controls/Header.ascx" tagName="header"/>
<add tagPrefix="bala" src="~/Controls/Footer.ascx" tagName="footer"/>
<add tagPrefix="ControlVendor" assembly="ControlVendorAssembly"/>
</controls>
</pages>

</system.web>

</configuration>




<strong>Output:</strong>

Adding rows in DataGrid

DataTable dtg = (DataTable) DataGrid1.DataSource;

DataRow dr = dtg.NewRow();

dr["Item_ID"]="ItemID";
dr["Item_Name"]="Item Name";
dr["Item_Desc"]="Item Description";
dr["Item_Amount"]="$15.65";

dtg.Rows.Add(dr);

DataGrid1.DataSource = dtg;

It will work for windows.

If you use DataGrid in ASP then you will have to keep DataTable in Session:

DataTable dtg = new DataTable();

if (Session["SampleDataTable"]==null)
{

DataColumn dc;
dc = new DataColumn("Item_ID",System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtg.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Item_Name",System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtg.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Item_Desc",System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtg.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn("Item_Amount",System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtg.Columns.Add(dc);

}
else {dtg = (DataTable) Session["SampleDataTable"];}

DataRow dr = dtg.NewRow();
dr["Item_ID"]="ItemID";
dr["Item_Name"]="Item Name";
dr["Item_Desc"]="Item Description";
dr["Item_Amount"]="$15.35;
dtg.Rows.Add(dr);

DataGrid1.DataSource=dtg;
DataGrid1.PageSize+=1;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
JSON is built on two structures:
1) A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
2) An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.
Installation for Dotnet
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=205597

An easy way to build connection string.

Though this in not related to .NET directly but it is useful while working with ADO.NET
1) Open a New notepad and save it with "udl" extension, suppose "New.udl".
2) Now you will see that it's icon is changed.
3) Open it, you will find Data Link properties dialog box.
4) For SQl Server connection string select Microsoft OLE DB Provider For SQL Server in Provider Tab.
5) Click button "Next" or select Connection Tab
6) Here you can select all connection details and press button
Test Connection. If it is successful close this dialog box.
7) Now open this file using "Notepad", you will find the connection string. Though it is built for OLE DB
type of connection, you can use for SQL Server connection by removing Provider attribute.
NOTE: If you are using SQL Authentication with password, then check the checkbox Allow Saving Password.
This is necessary so that password appears in connection string.

Changing Connection string dynamically using Application_BeginRequest

You developed webapplication, you hosted in two different server.One server name is
"Production" and another server name is "Testing". The below code connection string will change dynamically based on server host information.

Example:
<appsettings>
<add key="production" value="http://www.production.com">
<add key="ProductionconnectionString" value="server=localhost;...." >
<add key="testconnectionString" value="server=localhost;...." >
</appsettings>

Cross Joins Using sqlserver

Using Cross Joins
A cross join that does not have a WHERE clause produces the Cartesian product of the tables involved in the join. The size of a Cartesian product result set is the number of rows in the first table multiplied by the number of rows in the second table. This is an example of a Transact-SQL cross join:

USE pubs
SELECT au_fname, au_lname, pub_name
FROM authors CROSS JOIN publishers
ORDER BY au_lname DESC

The result set contains 184 rows (authors has 23 rows and publishers has 8; 23 multiplied by 8 equals 184).

However, if a WHERE clause is added, the cross join behaves as an inner join. For example, these Transact-SQL queries produce the same result set:

USE pubs
SELECT au_fname, au_lname, pub_name
FROM authors CROSS JOIN publishers
WHERE authors.city = publishers.city
ORDER BY au_lname DESC

-- Or
USE pubs
SELECT au_fname, au_lname, pub_name
FROM authors INNER JOIN publishers
ON authors.city = publishers.city
ORDER BY au_lname DESC

Accessing server event using Ajax

Step:1

Install system.web.extension and ajax tools
Install ajax.dll in your system all add in reference of the project.

step:2
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="POST,GET" path="ajax/*.ashx" type="Ajax.PageHandlerFactory, Ajax" />
</httpHandlers>

step:3
Write javascript

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function Getconfirm()
{
var con=confirm("Are sure want to delete this");
var test;
if(con==false)
{
alert(Bala.Getvalue().value);
}
else
{
alert(Bala.Getvalue1().value);
}
}
</script>

step 4:
in c# page


public partial class Bala : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Ajax.Utility.RegisterTypeForAjax(typeof(Bala));
//btnsubmit.Attributes.Add("onclick", "Getconfirm();");
}
[Ajax.AjaxMethod()]
public string Getvalue()
{
return "bala";

}

Importan queries using Sqlserver

http://www.dotnetspider.com/kb/Article4097.aspx

Check if a date is a valid date in Sql Server 2005

Use the ISDATE() function

The ISDATE() function determines whether the variable or the expression contains a valid date. It returns 1(true) if the input expression is a valid date;

otherwise, it returns 0 (false).

For eg:

DECLARE @dt varchar(10)

SET @dt = '02/21/08'

SELECT ISDATE(@dt)-- Returns 1

DECLARE @dt varchar(10)

SET @dt = '13/21/08'

SELECT ISDATE(@dt)-- Returns 0 as 13 is not a valid month

How to Show Binary Files in the Browser using ASP.NET and VB.NET

This article explains how to show binary files as well as .doc .xls files in browser. We have seen in many sites that user can open .gif, .jpg, .doc and .xls files by clicking a link. The binary format file as well as .doc .xls is displayed in the browser
1)Create an asp.net web project. Name the project as ShowBinary
2) Add a file of type (.gif,.jpg,.doc,.xls) to the project
3) Specify a Start page for the application4) Use following code snippet in the form load event handler

Private Sub Page_Load(sender as object, e as System.EventArgs)
Response.ContentType = “Application/pdf” ‘ Specify Content Type
Dim fpath as string = Mappath(“Mypdf.pdf”) ‘ Specify Physical Path of the file
Response.writefile(fpath)
End Sub

ASP.NET 2.0 MultiView Control

ASP.NET 2.0 Provies a wonderful solution by means of MultiView Control. The MultiView Control combined with the View Control can provide different UI on different scenarios as and when required.

<asp:MultiView ID="MultiView1" runat="server" >
<asp:View ID="View1" runat="server">This is one section where you can have a set of controls / contents<asp:View>
<asp:View ID="View2" runat="server">This is another section where you can have a different set of controls / contents<asp:View>
</asp:MultiView>

Now, to show the different tabs based on different events, we just need to set the following code:-

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MultiView1.SetActiveView(View1);
}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MultiView1.SetActiveView(View2);
}

Multiview control using

"goto" Using Dotnet framework 2.0

Breaking out a loop in two ways

The two ways described below.
1) firstway is using "break" keyword
2) Second way is using variable declaration.

//First way
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
Response.Write("bala");
break;
}
//Second Way

Nullable DataType in Dotnet Framework 2.0

Nullable Data Type
If you dont have the value for nullable datatype, it will return automatically null as a value.
Example 1:
int? var1 = null;
int var2 = 5;
var1 = var2;
if (var1.HasValue == true) //Using HasValue properties will will findout "var1" variable having value or null.
{
Response.Write("bala");
}
else
{
Response.Write("bala1");
}
Output:
bala

Example 2:

float? a = 436;
float? b = null;
if (a.HasValue) Response.Write("testing");
if (b.HasValue) Response.Write("testi"); else Response.Write("test");

Output:
testingtest

Calling Javascript in Dotnet based on Button id

In aspx Page

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function Getconfirm()
{
var con=confirm("Are sure want to delete this");
var test;
if(con==false)
{
alert("test");
}
else
{
alert("test1");
}
}
</script>


<asp:Button ID="btnsubmit" runat="server" OnClick="btnsubmit_Click" />
In C# Page
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(btnsubmit, typeof(string), "bala", "Getconfirm();", true);
}
Note:btnsubmit is control id.

Windows Communication Foundation

WCF-Windows Communication Foundation


WCF is nothing but a Distributed system. Combination of Object Oriented Architechtre and Service Oriented Architecture.


NET 3.0 comes with three main technologies in core: Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation.
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), codenamed Indigo in Microsoft, is the last generation of service oriented technologies for development. It provides all the latest means to help developers build service oriented applications. The result of service oriented design is a distributed system which runs between services and clients. Windows Communication Foundation is Microsoft infrastructure for Service Oriented architecture

Advantages

Windows Communication Foundation has some important enhancements in comparison with preceding technologies·
. It merges all older separate technologies in one place and allows you to do things easier.
· It has rich communication capabilities.
· It comes with many powerful and ready to use enterprise features.
· It can be integrated with other technologies and has great interoperability.

Fundamental Concepts

Windows Communication Foundation consists of three main concepts.
· Services: Programs that respond to clients. They can send or receive messages.
· Clients: Programs that ask for a service. They can send or receive messages.
· Intermediaries: Programs that sit between services and clients (Figure 2). They can work as a firewall or can rout messages. In all cases neither services nor clients need to be aware of intermediaries.

Architecture
Architecture of Windows Communication Foundation consists of five layers. These layers from top to down are:
· Application: In this level application is located.
· Contracts: In the second layer service, data and message contracts as well as bindings and policies are present. In this level services describe themselves to clients.
· Runtime: Behaviors are located in this layer. Runtime layer loads all services.
· Messaging: Different types of channels as well as encoders are here. This layer enables communications for services.
· Hosting: This layer is where host services in different manners, but there are two common ways to host a service. You can host a service in Internet Information Services (IIS) which is easier than the second approach and starts and stops your services automatically. The second approach is to create executable files (.EXE) for services and start and stop them manually by writing more codes.

Programming Model

Windows Communication Foundation has simple and easy to write/understand codes. It has many APIs, but beside this only a small amount of these API's is common.
There are three programming approaches in Windows Communication Foundation:
· Imperative: You use programming codes in different languages to accomplish a task.
· Configuration Based: You use configuration files to do things.
· Declarative: You use attributes to declare something.

On the other hand, you can use typed services and untyped services. In typed services you pass normal objects and data types and/or get normal objects and data types, but in untyped services you pass and get messages to work directly with messages at a lower level..

Installation
Installation of Windows Communication Foundation and its development tool is easy and consists of these steps:
· Download and install .NET Framework 3.0 RTM. I also strongly recommend you to download and install WinFX SDK as well. After this step you have all necessary API's to run Windows Communication Foundation.
· Download and install Visual Studio 2005xtensions for .NET Framework 3.0 WCF and WPF). After installing this package, you will have new project templates in your Visual Studio to start developing for Windows Communication Foundation

verbatim literal

Another useful feature of C# strings is the verbatim literal

which is a string with a @ symbol prefix, as in @"Some string". Verbatim literals make escape sequences translate as normal characters to enhance readability. To appreciate the value of verbatim literals, consider a path statement such as "c:\\topdir\\subdir\\subdir\\myapp.exe". As you can see, the backslashes are escaped, causing the string to be less readable. You can improve the string with a verbatim literal, like this: @"c:\topdir\subdir\subdir\myapp.exe".
