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>

Public Application_BeginRequest()
{
bool production=false;
if(Request.URL.Host==ConfiqurationManager.Appsettings("production"))
{
Production=true;
}
}

if(Production==true)
{
context.items.add("connectionStrings",ConfiqurationManager.Appsettings("production"))
}
else
{
context.items.add("connectionStrings",ConfiqurationManager.Appsettings("test"))
}
}

Support Multiple Browser Image control

You are developing a web application that must support a variety of browser. Your analysis indicates that the majority of users that will access Internet explorer 6.0 and packet internet explorer 4.0 you are creating the header for the webapplication. you want to display variety of brower. The below example you can see image display with different browser.

Example:


<asp:image id="cklogo" runat="server" ImageUrl="Images/ck_logo.jpg" PIE4.0:imageurl="Images/small/ck_logo.jpg">

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";

}
[Ajax.AjaxMethod()]
public string Getvalue1()
{
return "bala1";

}
}

Importan queries using Sqlserver

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

Reset all control values in .NET Web pages.

private void ResetFields()
{

foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)

{if (ctrl is TextBox)

{

TextBox tb = (TextBox)ctrl;

if (tb != null)

{ tb.Text = string.Empty;

}

} else

if (ctrl is DropDownList)

{ DropDownList dd = (DropDownList)ctrl;

if (dd != null)

{

dd.SelectedIndex = 0;

}

}

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

COALESCE using Sqlserver

I want get employeelist in one single string.
now in new pl/sql version having the COALESCE function,
The magic of function is, it will automatically add "," seprator of employeelist.

///////////////////////////Before COALESCE ///
DECLARE @Emp_UniqueID int,
@EmployeeList varchar(100)

SET @EmployeeList = ''

DECLARE crs_Employees CURSOR
FOR SELECT Emp_UniqueID
FROM SalesCallsEmployees
WHERE SalCal_UniqueID = 1

OPEN crs_Employees
FETCH NEXT FROM crs_Employees INTO @Emp_UniqueID

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT @EmployeeList = @EmployeeList+CAST(@Emp_UniqueID AS varchar(5))+ ', '
FETCH NEXT FROM crs_Employees INTO @Emp_UniqueID
END

SET @EmployeeList = SUBSTRING(@EmployeeList,1,DATALENGTH(@EmployeeList)-2)

CLOSE crs_Employees
DEALLOCATE crs_Employees

SELECT @EmployeeLis

Output:
1, 2, 4

///////////////////////////After COALESCE/////////////

DECLARE @EmployeeList varchar(100)

SELECT @EmployeeList = COALESCE(@EmployeeList + ', ', '') +
CAST(Emp_UniqueID AS varchar(5))
FROM SalesCallsEmployees
WHERE SalCal_UniqueID = 1

SELECT @EmployeeList

Output:1,2,4

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
bool br = false;
for (int j = 0; j < 2&& br == false; j++)
{
Response.Write("testingbala");
br = true;
}

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
