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.

Page get postback twice in Mozilla!!!!

-
I face one problem in Mozilla but with other browser it works fine. The problem was like... the page get called twice!!! There is case when the server side code called twice, not lient side. After doing some good work found the solution, and was simpley good. The following line was causing the problem. <asp:image id="imgTest" runat="Server"/> In first look you can see there is no problem with it. But there is still problem; the missing ImageUrl. Mozilla send request to current page asking for an image, which we havent set yet; as the value get assign from server side, by this reason the only server side code is get executed twice!!!! Interesting, isn't it!! So here is the solution: <asp:image id="imgTest1" runat="Server" imageurl="abc.jpg"></asp:image>

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.
