AdRotator control in ASP.Net

-
Adrotator control is available in ASP.Net to make the task of rotating the advertisement images in a web form quickly and easily. It also enables you to display different types of images whenever you refresh the page.

Adrotator control takes the information about the images that are to be displayed from an XML file which also have many other elements in it that are used by this control.

Adrotator control is available in ASP.Net to make the task of rotating the advertisement images in a web form quickly and easily. It also enables you to display different types of images whenever you refresh the page.

Adrotator control takes the information about the images that are to be displayed from an XML file which also have many other elements in it that are used by this control.

First let us have a look at a sample advertisement file that is used by the adrotator control in ASP.Net.

Let us assume that the advertisement XML file is named as advt.xml. This file might look like,
<Advertisements>
<Ad>
  <ImageUrl>yahoo.jpg</ImageUrl>
  <NavigateUrl>http://www.yahoo.com</NavigateUrl>
  <AlternateText>Yahoo Image</AlternateText>
  <Impressions>50</Impressions>
  <Keyword>yahoo</Keyword>
</Ad>
<Ad>
  <ImageUrl>google.jpg</ImageUrl>
  <Navigateurl>http://www.google.com</Navigateurl>
  <AlternateText>Google Image</AlternateText>
  <Impressions>75</Impressions>
  <Keyword>Google</Keyword>
</Ad>
</Advertisements>
The XML file that is used for advertisements would have the root element as the <Advertisements> element.

This may have many <Ad> child elements. The elements <ImageUrl>, <NavigateUrl>, <AlternateText>, <Impressions> and <Keyword> are found in the <Ad> element. These elements identify the properties of the image that is displayed using the adrotator control.

The <ImageUrl> element specifies the path to the image that is displayed using the AdRotator control.

Once a user clicks the image that is displayed the user is taken to the URL specified in the <NavigateUrl> element.

The <AlternateText> element holds the text that is displayed when the image is not loaded. The text in this element is also used as a ToolTip in some of the browsers.

The element <Impressions> has a number as a value. This number indicates how often the image is displayed with respect to other images. The more the value of the number in this element, the more is the frequency of the image that is displayed. The sum of all the impressions in the advertisement file should not exceed 2,047,999,999. Otherwise the AdRotator will throw an runtime exception.

The element <Keyword> is used to give the category of the advertisement.

Thus the AdRotator control is an easy way to display and rotate advertisements and also to give preference to some advertisements by using the <Impressions> element of the advertisement XML file.

Method 1: Response.AddHeader To Refresh Web page After every 5 Seconds You can add following code, Response.AddHeader("Refresh", "5"); Cricket Sites, Stock Exchange sites use similar logic :) Method 2: In body Tag, window.setTimeout The 1000 = 1 Second... < body onload ="window.setTimeout('window.location.reload()',1000);" > Method 3: In Meta Tag Theres also a meta tag that you can define on the head, but not sure wheter it refreshes even if the content has not finished loading or if it starts counting when the head section loaded. Code would be something like that: < meta content ="600" http-equiv ="refresh" > Method 4: Timer Control : Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions server control In following example, the timer interval is set to 10 seconds <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %> <!

Auto Sequence Number in Grid Control with Paging

-
we are going to see how to generate sequence number (row number) in DataGrid. To generate sequence number, we will use the DataGridItem’s ItemIndex property. But For example if we are going to second page with Pagesize 3, then sequence number should start from 4. Code snippet for implementing this method is... < asp:DataGrid id ="DataGrid1" runat ="server" PagerStyle-Mode ="NumericPages" PageSize ="10" AutoGenerateColumns ="False" AllowPaging ="True" > < Columns > < asp:templatecolumn headertext ="Row Number" > < itemtemplate > <% # (DataGrid1.PageSize*DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex)+ Container.ItemIndex+1 %> </ itemtemplate > </ asp:templatecolumn > < asp:boundcolumn runat ="server" Da

Paged Data Source - Custom Paging

-
PagedDataSource , is a class that encapsulates the paging related properties for data-bound controls such as DataGrid, GridView, DataList, DetailsView and FormView that allow it to perform paging. And this article is going to combine both DataList control and PagedDataSource class to explain dynamic or custom paging methods for Asp.Net developers. protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (!IsPostBack) { LoadPhoto(); } } catch (Exception Exc) { HandleException = Exc; } } // LoadPhoto Function private void LoadPhoto() { PagedDataSource objPhotoPage = new PagedDataSource(); objPhotoPage.AllowPaging = true ; SOBLImageGallery _SOBLImageGallery = new SOBLImageGallery(); DataSet dsImageGallery = _SOBLImageGallery.Select6Records( new SOENTImageGallery()); if (dsImageGallery != null && dsImageGallery.Tables.Count > 0 && dsImageGallery.Tables[0].

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
