About Microsoft Dynamics CRM

2010-11-17T01:26:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Dynamics CRM:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM made it possible to consolidate and access customer information much more quickly. Microsoft Dynamics CRM works within the MS outlook one of the most popular applications that people use every day.

In Sales, Customer Service, and Marketing makes Microsoft Dynamics CRM an effective way to stay in touch with your customers and drive your business goals.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is designed to meet the needs of companies of all sizes—from small businesses to large enterprises. Today, Microsoft Dynamics CRM is used by more than 1 million people, including some of the world's largest organizations, in financial services, professional services, manufacturing, and the public sector.

History of MS Dynamics CRM:
- In Dec 2007, MS Dynamics CRM 4.0 launched
- In April 2008, MS Dynamics CRM Online , on an demand service was introduced.
- In Sep 2008, March 2009, and Nov 2009 Service updates for MS Dynamics CRM online were released.

Difference between synchronous and asynchronous communication?

2010-01-29T02:28:00.000-08:00

Asynchronous:
-asynch comm there is no need to establish a connection before data transmission.
-asynch comm is used in packet swithed networks
-widely used for PC communication and is commonly used for e-mail applications, Internet access, and asynchronous PC-to-PC communications.
-data is transmitted one byte at a time with each byte containing one start bit, eight data bits, and one stop bit, thus yielding a total of ten bits.
- Disadvantage: overhead because every byte sent contains two extra bits (the start and stop bits) and therefore a substantial loss of performance.

Synchronous:
-first connection will be established and the communication
will take place.
-synch comm is used in circut swithed netwoks.
-data is transmitted as frames of large data blocks rather than bulky individual bytes. One advantage of synchronous is that control information is easily inserted at the beginning and end of each block to ensure constant timing, or synchronization.
-Another advantage of synchronous is that it is more efficient than asynchronous. For example, a 56 Kbps dial-up synchronous line can carry 7000 bytes per second (56000/8) compared to a 56 Kbps dial-up asynchronous line which can only carry 5600 bytes per second (56000/10).When transmitting large amounts of information, this translates into a significant increase in speed and performance.

Web Part Life Cycle:

2010-01-06T03:31:00.000-08:00

- OnInit – Configuration values set using WebBrowsable properties and those in web part task pane are loaded into the web part.
- LoadViewState – The view state of the web part is populated over here.
- CreateChildControls – All the controls specified are created and added to controls collection. When the page is being rendered for the first time the method generally occurs after the OnLoad() event. In case of postback, it is called before the OnLoad() event. We can make use of EnsureChildControls() - It checks to see if the CreateChildControls method has yet been called, and if it has not, calls it.
- OnLoad
User Generated Event – for e.g. button click on the web part.
- OnPreRender – Here we can change any of the web part properties before the control output is drawn.
- RenderContents – Html Output is generated.
- SaveViewState - View state of the web part is serialized and saved.
- Dispose
- UnLoad.

Cleaning the Transaction Logs in SQL Server2005

2008-12-31T02:40:00.000-08:00

To Back up the transaction log file :
BACKUP LOG TO DISK = ''
Eg.
BACKUP LOG TestDB TO DISK='C:\TestDB1.bak'

To Shrink the transaction log file:

DBCC SHRINKFILE (, ) WITH NO_INFOMSGS

How to clean the transaction Log in SQL Server

2008-12-31T02:29:00.000-08:00

use master
go
dump transaction with no_log
go
use
go
DBCC SHRINKFILE (, 100) -- where 100 is the size you may want to shrink it to in MB, change it to your needs
go
-- then you can call to check that all went fine
dbcc checkdb()

(or)

To Truncate the log file:

Backup the database
Detach the database, either by using Enterprise Manager or by executing : *Sp_DetachDB [DBName]*
Delete the transaction log file. (or rename the file, just in case)
Re-attach the database again using: *Sp_AttachDB [DBName]*
When the database is attached, a new transaction log file is created.
To Shrink the log file:

Backup log [DBName] with No_Log
Shrink the database by either:

Using Enterprise manager :- Right click on the database, All tasks, Shrink database, Files, Select log file, OK.

Using T-SQL :- *Dbcc Shrinkfile ([Log_Logical_Name])*

You can find the logical name of the log file by running sp_helpdb or by looking in the properties of the database in Enterprise Manager.

Generics in .NET 2.0

2008-10-30T23:36:00.000-07:00

What Are Generics?
Generics allow you to realize type safety at compile time. They allow you to create a data structure without committing to a specific data type. When the data structure is used, however, the compiler makes sure that the types used with it are consistent for type safety. Generics provide type safety, but without any loss of performance or code bloat. While they are similar to templates in C++ in this regard, they are very different in their implementation.

The short answer is this: "without generics, it is very difficult to create type-safe collections".

Creating Our First Generic Type:

public class Col {
T t;
public T Val{get{return t;}set{t=value;}}
}

public class ColMain {
public static void Main() {
//create a string version of our generic class
Col mystring = new Col();
//set the value
mystring.Val = "hello";

//output that value
System.Console.WriteLine(mystring.Val);
//output the value's type
System.Console.WriteLine(mystring.Val.GetType());

//create another instance of our generic class, using a different type
Col myint = new Col();
//load the value
myint.Val = 5;
//output the value
System.Console.WriteLine(myint.Val);
//output the value's type
System.Console.WriteLine(myint.Val.GetType());

}
}

When we compile the two classes above and then run them, we will see the following output:

hello
System.String
5
System.Int32

Generic Collections:

User.cs

namespace Rob {
public class User {
protected string name;
protected int age;
public string Name{get{return name;}set{name=value;}}
public int Age{get{return age;}set{age=value;}}
}
}

Main.cs

public class M {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
System.Collections.Generic.List users = new System.Collections.Generic.List();
for(int x=0;x<5;x++) {
Rob.User user = new Rob.User();
user.Name="Rob" + x;
user.Age=x;
users.Add(user);
}

foreach(Rob.User user in users) {
System.Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("{0}:{1}", user.Name, user.Age));
}
System.Console.WriteLine("press enter");
System.Console.ReadLine();

for(int x=0;x System.Console.WriteLine(System.String.Format("{0}:{1}", users[x].Name, users[x].Age));
}

}
}

Output

Rob0:0
Rob1:1
Rob2:2
Rob3:3
Rob4:4
press enter

Rob0:0
Rob1:1
Rob2:2
Rob3:3
Rob4:4

Object Oriented Architecture Modeling

2008-07-20T23:44:00.001-07:00

Why architecture with OO methods?
OO methods provide a set of techniques for analyzing, decomposing, and modularizing software system architectures. In general, OO methods are characterized by structuring the system architecture on the basis of its objects (and classes of objects) rather than the actions it performs
Main purpose of these design concepts is to manage software system complexity by improving software quality factors. This provides the following benefits
• Helps to focus on large-scale system design
• Separation of design concerns
• Can identify good domain-specific architectures
• Design abstraction
• Have a common language
o Managerial basis for cost estimation & process mgmt
o Reuse
o Consistency and dependency analysis
o Technical basis for design

OO Modeling of an Solution:
• Identifying Objects of Interest from the Model
• Associating Attributes with Objects of Interest
• Specify how the objects, and interactions and interrelationships among the objects, will effect a solution to the problem

Types Model
(a) Textual Models
These are textual descriptions of both individual objects and systems of objects.

(b) Graphical Models
These graphically represent the characteristics of individual objects or systems of objects.

(c) Class-Responsibility-Collaboration Cards (CRC Cards)

Where do Objects come from?
The following are potential sources of objects:
• The model itself, e.g.:
o Written documents
paragraph, the nouns, pronouns, noun phrases, adjectives, adjectival phrases, adverbs, and adverbial phrases will suggest candidate objects.
o Graphical model certain objects may be implied by such things as nodes and communication among the nodes.
• The information supplied by the OORA(Object Oriented Requirement Analysis) process
• The mind of the software engineer
• A study of existing objects in an object library
• Technical references, e.g., books and articles

Object Modeling using UML
There are three prominent aspects of the modeled system that are handled by UML:

• Functional Model
It describes the functionality of the system from the user's Point of View.
It’s through Use Case Diagrams.
• Object Model
It showcases the structure and substructure of the system using objects, attributes, operations, and associations.
It’s through Class Diagrams.
• Dynamic Model
It showcases the internal behavior of the system.
It’s through Sequence Diagrams, Activity Diagrams and Statechart Diagrams

Use Case model
• Provide an overview of all or part of the usage requirements for a system or organization in the form of an model or a business model
• Communicate the scope of a development project
• Model the analysis of the usage requirements in the form of a system use case model

Use Cases are used primarily to capture the high level user-functional requirements of a system. The Use Case model is about describing “what” the system will do at a high-level and with a user focus for the purpose of scoping the project and giving the application some structure.

Class Diagram
It shows the classes of the system, their inter-relationships, and the operations and attributes of the classes. Class diagrams are used to:
• Explore domain concepts in the form of a domain model
• Analyze requirements in the form of a conceptual/analysis model
• Depict the detailed design of object-oriented or object-based software

Object Sequence Diagram
Object Sequence Diagrams are about deciding and modeling HOW our system will achieve WHAT we described in the Use Case model.
It’s a dynamic modeling technique. UML sequence diagrams are typically used to:
• Validate and flesh out the logic of a usage scenario.
• Explore the design because they provide a way to visually step through invocation of the operations defined by the classes.
• To detect bottlenecks within an object-oriented design. By looking at what messages are being sent to an object, and by looking at roughly how long it takes to run the invoked method, you quickly get an understanding of where need to change the design to distribute the load within the system. In fact some CASE tools even enable to simulate this aspect of the software.
• Gives a feel for which classes in the application are going to be complex, which in turn is an indication that may need to draw state chart diagrams for those classes

Activity Diagram
This is used to explore the logic of the following
• A complex operation
• A complex business rule
• A single use case
• Several use cases
• A business process
• Software processes

Deployment Diagram
Deployment diagrams show the hardware for the system, the software that is installed on that hardware, and the middleware used to connect the disparate machines to one another. A deployment model is to:

• Explore the issues involved with installing the system into production.
• Explore the dependencies that your system has with other systems that are currently in, or planned for, the production environment.
• Depict a major deployment configuration of a business application.
• Design the hardware and software configuration of an embedded system.
• Depict the hardware/network infrastructure of an organization.

Reading the Mails from the Outlook 2003 using C# .NET

2008-07-17T23:15:00.000-07:00

The following demostrates how to retreive data from items within an Outlook folder (called "MySubFolderName" under the Inbox folder) using .NET:

First add a reference to the Outlook COM object your project:

1. In VS.NET right click on References and choose Add Reference.
2. Select the COM tab Choose "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" (this is for MS Office 2003 - I think 10.0 is for Office XP) and click Select.
3. Click OK.
Note that you can access any Outlook/Exchange object types, eg Appointments, Notes, Tasks, Emails etc - just use intellisense to select which one (eg Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. ... - see definition of variable called 'item' below).

Here's the code:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace ns = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.PostItem item = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder inboxFolder = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder subFolder = null;

try
{
app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();

Caching in ASP .NET

2008-07-17T01:48:00.000-07:00

ASP.NET supports multiple levels of caching:
1. Output caching
2. Fragment caching
3. Data caching

Benefits:
Can increase performance by reducing trips to the database

Challenges:
Requires correct design and enough memory to be effective

ASP.NET provides built-in caching support that enables re-use of work:
1. Full Page Caching (Vary by params, language, user-agent)
2. Partial Page Caching (Enables portions of pages to be cached)
3. Web Service Caching (Vary by parameters and methods)
4. Cache Engine: Extensible Cache API (Enables arbitrary objects to be cached)

Cache Dependencies:
1. File Based dependencies
2. Key Based dependencies
3. Time Based dependencies

How to do Caching:
Cache the content of an entire ASP.NET page
–Declarative:
<%@ OutputCache Duration="60" VaryByParam="None"%>
–Programmatic:
•Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60))
•Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public)
•Response.Cache.SetSlidingExpiration(True)

Example of Output Cache:
<%@ OutputCache Duration="20" VaryByParam="none" %>

Output Cache

Now :<%= Now() %>

The content of the page will be same till 20 Sec.
of the creation of cache of this output.

.NET: Redirect .NET tracing to a file?

2008-02-23T04:46:00.000-08:00

The Debug and Trace classes both have a Listeners property, which is a collection of sinks that receive the tracing that you send via Debug.WriteLine and Trace.WriteLine respectively. By default the Listeners collection contains a single sink, which is an instance of the DefaultTraceListener class. This sends output to the Win32 OutputDebugString() function and also the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Log() method. This is useful when debugging, but if you're trying to trace a problem at a customer site, redirecting the output to a file is more appropriate. Fortunately, the TextWriterTraceListener class is provided for this purpose.

How to use the TextWriterTraceListener class to redirect Trace output to a file:

Trace.Listeners.Clear();
FileStream fs = new FileStream( @"c:\log.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write );
Trace.Listeners.Add( new TextWriterTraceListener( fs ) );
Trace.WriteLine( @"This will be writen to c:\log.txt!" );
Trace.Flush();

Statemanagement Using C#.Net

2008-02-23T02:54:00.000-08:00

State Management is a process of maintaining the state of the control or variable after page postback from server or between pages. In Asp.Net we are having many ways to maintain the state management. Basically it is dividied into server side and client side state management. Depends on the resource that we have to plan. They are as follows....
1. Session state
2. Hidden Variables
3. Query String
4. Cookies
5. ViewState
6. Caching
Out of which session state and caching are server side state management. others are client side state management.
1. Session State

Session State is responsible for maintaining the state of a variable between pages and page postback. There are two types of session state. They are
a. Application state
b. Session state
An object that is instant in application state will be available to the entire application. The lifetime of that instance will be available as long as application exists. Synatax for it is

Application.lock();
Application["Name"] = "Senthil";
Application.unlock();
string strName = Application["Name"].ToString();

and an instance created in session state will be available for that session (i.e browser).

Session["RoleID"] = "ADMIN";
string strRole = Session["RoleID"].ToString();

Session state can stored in three places
a. InProc - same system
b. StateServer - storing values in other server. Use " net start aspnet_state" for configuring the state server.
c. SQLServer - In database - use "aspnet_regsql" for configuring the sql server.

This can be set in web.config

To get more info about state management, set the trace to on

If pageoutput is set to false, then we find the contents in trace.axd file which is available in the root folder.

2. Hidden variables

Hidden controls are for storing few informations and retrieving it when page gets submits. We cannot get one hidden value in another page. The syntax for hidden variables are as follows.

<%=Request.Form("hid")%>

3. QueryString

Easiest way to transfer data between pages is the querystring. But we cannot transfer a bulk of data through it. Basically querystring has two keywords ? and &.

Example

document.frm.action="login.aspx?Name=" & strName & "?Role=ADMIN"
<%= Request.QueryString["Name"] %>

4. Cookies

Cookies are client side and it is used to store few values in the client machine. We cannot create cookies in server side. Many browsers restrict using cookies in the websites. The class that supports cookies in dotnet are HttpCookies.

5. ViewState

ViewState are used to maintain the state of the control. It can be set page wise or control wise. To set it by page wise

<% @ Page EnableviewState="True" %>

For setting viewstate control wise set the viewstate property to true.

The value of the control would be retained once the pages get postback.

6. Caching

Caching too places a part in state management. Its similar to session state but the only difference is we have to set the duration for it.
Caching can be done by page levels or application levels.

Syntax for page level caching[CODE]

<% outputcache duration="10" valuebyParam="none" />[CODE]

What are the different types of assemblies available and their purpose?

2008-01-26T06:04:00.000-08:00

Private, Public/shared and Satellite Assemblies.

Private Assemblies : Assembly used within an application is known as private assemblies

Public/shared Assemblies : Assembly which can be shared across applicaiton is known as shared assemblies. Strong Name has to be created to create a shared assembly. This can be done using SN.EXE. The same has to be registered using GACUtil.exe (Global Assembly Cache).

Satellite Assemblies : These assemblies contain resource files pertaining to a locale (Culture+Language). These assemblies are used in deploying an Gloabl applicaiton for different languages.

OOPS Interview Questions:

2008-01-26T05:05:00.000-08:00

1. What is Class?
A user-defined data structure that groups properties and methods. Class doesn’t occupy memory.

2. What is Object?
Instance of Class is called object. An object is created in memory using keyword “new”.

3. Difference between Struct and Class?
i) Struct are Value type and are stored on stack, while Class are Reference type and are stored on heap
ii) Struct “do not support” inheritance, while class supports inheritance. However struct can implements interface
iii) Struct should be used when you want to use a small data structure, while Class is better choice for complex data structure.

4. What is Encapsulation?
Wrapping up of data and function into a single unit is known as Encapsulation.

5. What is Properties?
Attribute of object is called properties. Eg1:- A car has color as property.
eg.: private string m_Color;
public string Color
{
get
{
return m_Color;
}
set
{
m_Color = value;
}
}
Car Maruti = new Car();
Maruti.Color= “White”;
Console.Write(Maruti.Color);

6. Use of "this" Keyword?
Each object has a reference “this” which points to itself. Two uses of this keyword are 1)Can be used to refer to the current object, 2)It can also be used by one constructor to explicitly invoke another constructor of the same class.

7. What is Constructor?
- A constructor is a special method whose task is to initialize the object of its class
- It is special because its name is the same as the class name.
- They do not have return types, not even void and therefore they cannot return values.
- They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base class constructor
- Constructor is invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created
Note: There is always atleast one constructor in every class. If you do not write a constructor, C# automatically provides one for you, this is called default constructor. Eg: class A, default constructor is A().

8. What is Static Members of the class?
-Static members belong to the whole class rather than to individual object
-Static members are accessed with the name of class rather than reference to objects.
Eg:
class Test
{
public int rollNo;
public int mathsMarks;
public static int totalMathMarks;
}
class TestDemo
{
public static void main()
{
Test stud1 = new Test();
stud1.rollNo = 1;
stud1.mathsMarks = 40;
stud2.rollNo = 2;
stud2.mathsMarks = 43;
Test.totalMathsMarks = stud1.mathsMarks + stud2.mathsMarks;
}
}

9. What is Static Method of the class?
Methods that you can call directly without first creating an instance of a class.
Eg: Main() Method, Console.WriteLine()

10. what is Destructor?
A destructor is just opposite to constructor. It has same as the class name, but with prefix ~ (tilde). They do not have return types, not even void and therefore they cannot return values.

11. What is Garbage Collection?
Garbage collection is the mechanism that reclaims the memory resources of an object when it is no longer referenced by a variable.
.Net Runtime performs automatically performs garbage collection, however you can force the garbage collection to run at a certain point in your code by calling System.GC.Collect()

12. Use of Enumeration?
Enumeration improves code readability. It also helps in avoiding typing mistake.

13. Concept of Heap and Stack:
The Program Instruction and Global and Static variables are stored in a region known as permanent storage area and the local variables are stored in another area called stack. The memory space located between these two regions is available for dynamic memory allocation during execution of program. This free memory region is called heap. The size of heap keeps on changing when program is executed due to creation and death of variables that are local to functions and blocks. Therefore, it is possible to encounter memory “overflow” during dynamic allocation process.

14. What is Value Type and Reference Type?
A variable is value type or reference type is solely determined by its data type.
Eg: int, float, char, decimal, bool, decimal, struct, etc are value types,
object type such as class, String, Array, etc are reference type.

15. what is Boxing and Un-Boxing?
Boxing: means converting value-type to reference-type.
Eg:
int I = 20;
string s = I.ToSting();
UnBoxing: means converting reference-type to value-type.
Eg:
int I = 20;
string s = I.ToString(); //Box the int
int J = Convert.ToInt32(s); //UnBox it back to an int.
Note: Performance Overheads due to boxing and unboxing as the boxing makes a copy of value type from stack and place it inside an object of type System.Object in the heap.

16. What is Inheritance?
The process of sub-classing a class to extend its functionality is called Inheritance.It provides idea of reusability.

17. What are Sealed Classes in C#?
The sealed modifier is used to prevent derivation from a class. A compile-time error occurs if a sealed class is specified as the base class of another class. (A sealed class cannot also be an abstract class)

18. Can you prevent your class from being inherited by another class?
Yes. The keyword “sealed” will prevent the class from being inherited.

19. Can you allow a class to be inherited, but prevent the method from being over-ridden?
Yes. Just leave the class public and make the method sealed.

20. List of Facts in Inheritance?
- Multiple inheritance of classes is not allowed in C#.
- In C# you can implements more than one interface, thus multiple inheritance is achieved through interface.
- The Object class defined in the System namespace is implicitly the ultimate base class of all the classes in C# (and the .NET framework)
- Structures (struct) in C# does not support inheritance, it can only implements interfaces.

21. What is Polymorphism?
Polymorphism means same operation may behave differently on different classes.
Eg:
Method Overloading is an example of Compile Time Polymorphism.
Method Overriding is an example of Run Time Polymorphism

22. How many types of Access Modifiers?
1) Public – Allows the members to be globally accessible
2) Private – Limits the member’s access to only the containing
3) Protected – Limits the member’s access to the containing type and all classes derived from the containing type
4) Internal – Limits the member’s access to within the current project

23. What is Method Overloading?
Method with same name but with different arguments is called method overloading. Method Overloading forms compile-time polymorphism.
Eg. class A1
{
void hello()
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello”);
}
void hello(string s)
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello {0}”,s);
}
}

24. What is Method Overriding?
Method overriding occurs when child class declares a method that has the same type arguments as a method declared by one of its superclass. Method overriding forms Run-time polymorphism.
Eg.
Class parent
{
virtual void hello()
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello from Parent”);
}
}
Class child : parent
{
override void hello()
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello from Child”);
}
}
static void main()
{
parent objParent = new child();
objParent.hello();
}
//Output
Hello from Child.

25. What is Virtual Method?
By declaring base class function as virtual, we allow the function to be overridden in any of derived class.
Eg:
Class parent
{
virtual void hello()
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello from Parent”);
}
}
Class child : parent
{
override void hello()
{ Console.WriteLine(“Hello from Child”);
}
}
static void main()
{
parent objParent = new child();
objParent.hello();
}
//Output
Hello from Child.

26. What is Interface?
- Interface states “what” to do, rather than “how” to do.
- An interface defines only the members that will be made available by an implementing object. The definition of the interface states nothing about the implementation of the members, only the parameters they take and the types of values they will return. Implementation of an interface is left entirely to the implementing class. It is possible, therefore, for different objects to provide dramatically different implementations of the same members.

Eg.
public interface IDrivable
{
void GoForward(int Speed);
}
public class Truck : IDrivable
{
public void GoForward(int Speed)
{
// Implementation omitted
}
}
public class Aircraft : IDrivable
{
public void GoForward(int Speed)
{
// Implementation omitted
}
}
public class Train : IDrivable
{
public void GoForward(int Speed)
{
// Implementation omitted
}
}

27. Difference between Interface and Abstract Class?
Multiple inheritance:
A class may implement several interfaces.
A class may extend only one abstract class.
Default implementation:
An interface cannot provide any code at all, much less default code.
An abstract class can provide complete code, default code, and/or just stubs that have to be overridden.
Third party convenience:
An interface implementation may be added to any existing third party class.
A third party class must be rewritten to extend only from the abstract class.

Types of Multitasking

2008-01-23T01:31:00.000-08:00

There are two types of multitasking:

1. Process Based:
- Process-based multitasking handles the concurrent execution of programs.
eg.:running word processor the same time you are browsing the net.
2. Thread Based
- Thread-based multitasking deals with the concurrent execution of pieces of the same program.
eg.: A text editor can be formatting text at the same time that it is printing.

What is reflection?

2008-01-20T01:44:00.000-08:00

Reflection is the mechanism of discovering class information solely at run time

What’s the use of SmartNavigation property?

2008-01-20T01:39:00.000-08:00

Its a feature provided by ASP .NET to prevent the flickering and the redrawing when the page is posted back. Gets or sets a value indicating whether smart navigation is enabled.
VB: Public Property SmartNavigation As Boolean
C#: Public bool SmartNavigation {get; set;}

What is concept of Boxing and Unboxing?

2008-01-20T01:33:00.000-08:00

Boxing and unboxing is a essential concept in. NET’s type system. With Boxing and unboxing one can link between value-types and reference-types by allowing any value of a value-type to be converted to and from type object. Boxing and unboxing enables a unified view of the type system wherein a value of any type can ultimately be treated as an object.

Converting a value type to reference type is called Boxing. Unboxing is the opposite operation and is an explicit operation.

9. Web.Config and Machine.Config

Keys Concept in DBMS.

2008-01-20T00:15:00.000-08:00

1) PRIMARY KEY:-A primary key is a field that uniquely identifies each record in a table. As it uniquely identify each entity, it cannot contain null value and duplicate value.eg:-Consider the customer table, which has field :customer_number, customer_socialsecurity_number, and customer_address.here customer_number of each entity in customer table is distinct so customer-number can be a primary key of customer-table.
2) SUPER KEY :- If we add additional attributes to a primary key, the resulting combination would still uniquely identify an instance of the entity set. Such augmented keys are called superkey.A primary key is therefore a minimum superkey.
3) CANDIDATE KEY:-A nominee's for primary key field are know as candidate key.eg:-From above example of customer table, customer_socialsecurity_number is candidate key as it has all characteristics of primary key.
4) ALTERNATE KEY:-A candidate key that is not the primary key is called an Alternate key.eg:- In above example, customer_socialsecurity_number is a candidate key but not a primary key so it can be considered as alternate key.
5) COMPOSITE KEY:- Creating more than one primary key are jointly known as composite key.eg:-In above example, if customer_number and customer_socialsecurity_number are made primary key than they will be jointly known as composite key.
6) FOREIGN KEY:- Foreign key is a primary key of master table, which is reference in the current table, so it is known as foreign key in the current table. A foreign key is one or more columns whose value must exist in the primary key of another table.eg:-Consider two tables emp(contains employees description) and emp_edu(contains details of employee's education), so emp_id which is primary key in emp table will be referred as foreign key in emp_edu table.

What is viewstate?

2008-01-18T04:19:00.001-08:00

View State is the built in structure for automatically retain the values amoung multiple requests for the same page. Viewstate is internally maintained in the HiddenField on the page.

Define candidate key, alternate key, composite key?

2008-01-17T04:11:00.000-08:00

A candidate key is one that can identify each row of a table uniquely.Generally a candidate key becomes the primary key of the table. If thetable has more than one candidate key, one of them will become theprimary key, and the rest are called alternate keys.

A key formed by combining at least two or more columns is called composite key.

What is Canditate Key?

2008-01-17T04:06:00.000-08:00

A table which is having more that one combination of column that could uniqly identify the rows in a table. Each combination is a canditate key.
Eg. In the supplier table SupplierID, Supplier name are the canditate key but we can pick up only the supplierID as a primary key.

Enabling an asynchronous web page

2008-01-17T01:21:00.000-08:00

Step 1. Add the Async="true" attribute the page directive:

eg: Page Language="C#" Async="true" AutoEventWireup="true"

Step 2. Create events to start and end the asynchronous code that implements the System.Web.IHttpAsyncHandler.BeginProcessRequest and System.Web.IHttpAsyncHandler.EndProcessRequest

eg: IAsyncResult BeginGetAsyncData(Object src, EventArgs args, AsyncCallback cb,

Object state)
{ }

void EndGetAsyncData(IAsyncResult ar)
{ }

Step 3. call the AddOnPreRenderCompleteAsync method to declare the event handlers:

eg: BeginEventHandler bh=new BeginEventHandler(this.BeginGetAsyncData);
EndEventHandler eh= new EndEventHandler(this.EndGetAsyncData);
AddOnPreRenderCompleteAsync (bh,eh)
