SOLID Principles with C#

-
SOLID Principles are coding standards that all developers should have a clear concept for developing software in a proper way to avoid a bad design. S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have one, and only one, a reason to change In Single Responsibility Principle Each class and module should focus on a single task at a time Everything in the class should be related to that single purpose There can be many members in the class as long as they related to the single responsibility With SRP, classes become smaller and cleaner Code is less fragile  Here  UserAccount  class created which have below operations like, Login, Register, LogError and Send Mail.

Applying Dynamic Themes to WebPage

-
Applying Dynamic Themes to Web Page (.aspx) in ASP.NET Themes and Skins. The themes and skins features in ASP.NET 2.0 allow for easy customization of your site's look-and-feel. You can define style information in a common location called a "theme", and apply that style information globally to pages or controls in your site. Like Master Pages, this improves the maintainability of your site and avoid unnecessary duplication of code for shared styles. protected void Page_PreInit( object sender, EventArgs e) { Page.Theme = Session[ "Theme" ] as string ?? "Theme1" ; } protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Session[ "Theme" ] != null ) { if (Session[ "Theme" ].ToString() == "Theme1" ) Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme2" ; else Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme1...

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.
