Loading : During this phase, the instance of the control is loaded onto the page object in which it is defined. Loading the postback data : During this phase, the server s...

SQL Server 2005 with XML Parameters

-
We frequently have requirement like Passing IDs in comma saperated value to the sql server for further processing. Generally what we do is just create loop and get the value from it and ... But SQL 2005 comes up with XQuery. Using this you can easly pass such type of data also some complex thing too. For example... DECLARE @productIds xml SET @productIds ='<Products><id>9</id><id>18</id><id>27</id></Products>' SELECT ParamValues.ID.value ('.','VARCHAR(20)')FROM @productIds.nodes('/Products/id')as ParamValues(ID) Which gives us the following three rows: 9 18 27

Polymorphism in C#

Polymorphism means having more than one form.   Overloading and overriding are used to implement polymorphism.  Polymorphism Examples Method Overloading Method Overriding There are two type of Polymorphism  1. Compile time polymorphism (Early binding or static binding)  Examples: overloaded methods, overloaded operators and overridden methods that are called directly by using derived objects. 2. Run time polymorphism (Late binding or dynamic binding)   Example: overridden methods that are called using base class object.

LINQ - C# Programming

-
Get DataSource In C# as in most programming languages a variable must be declared before it can be used. In a LINQ query, the from clause comes first in order to introduce the data source (customers) and the range variable (cust). //QEmp is an IEnumerable var QEmp = from e in Emp select e; Filter Probably the most common query operation is to apply a filter in the form of a Boolean expression. The filter causes the query to return only those elements for which the expression is true. The result is produced by using the where clause. The filter in effect specifies which elements to exclude from the source sequence. var QEmp = from e in Emp where e.Country == "India" select e ----AND Condition---- where e.Country == "India" && e.Name == "Ashvin" ----OR Condition---- where e.Country == "India" || e.Name == "Ashvin" Ordering The orderby clause will cause the elements in the...

Abstract Class and An Interface

-
Abstract Class : The class which cannot be instantiated is known as an Abstract Class . So an object of it cannot be created. Hence it must be inherited. Can't be instantiated. Must be inherited. It may have Concrete Methods & Abstract Methods. An Abstract Class can have only Abstract Method. An Abstract Method must be overridden.     public abstract class AbstractA     {         public abstract string AbstractProperty { get ; set ; }         public abstract void AbstractFunction1();         public virtual void AbstractFunction2()         {             Console .WriteLine( "AbstractA : AbstractFunction2()" );         }         public void AbstractFunct...

Differences between a Structure and Class

-
1. Clas s is Reference types and Structure is Value type.   2. Clas s supports an Inheritance where as Structure not.   3. Classes are usually used for large amounts of data, whereas Structure are usually used for smaller amount of data.   4. When we instantiate a class, memory will be allocated on the heap and when Structure gets initiated it gets memory on the stack. 5. Classes can have explicit parameter less constructors. But Structure doesn't have this. 6. Classes can be garbage collector because garbage collector works on heap memory . structures can not be garbage collector so no memory management.

-
i want create a Procedure that behave like this: declare @cnt int set @cnt =10 select top @cnt * from sw_user Where sw_user contains 20 records, and i want the variable to be the criteria of Top statement. so i can use this for a solution for this type of problem CREATE PROC Top10 @cnt int AS SET ROWCOUNT @cnt SELECT * FROM sw_user but some cases ROWCOUNT might not be work... so what, Note : This statement however is possible in SQL 2005, just add "()" in your variable like so: declare @cnt int set @cnt =10 select top (@cnt) * from sw_user
