Differents between ExecuteReader, ExecuteNonQuery & ExecuteScalar

-
ExecuteReader : Use for accessing data. It provides a forward-only, read-only, connected recordset.

ExecuteNonQuery : Use for data manipulation, such as Insert, Update, Delete.

ExecuteScalar : Use for retriving 1 row 1 col. value.,

eg: for retriving aggregate function.
It is faster than other ways of retriving a single value from DB.

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. According to SRP, ideally, LogError and SendEmail are should not be part of  UserAccount  operations.      public class UserAccount     {         public bool Login( string username, ...

Send Email using Gmail SMTP server - ASP.NET

-
Send Email using Gmail SMTP server-ASP.NET What is an SMTP server? (pronounced as separate letters) Short for S imple M ail T ransfer P rotocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your e-mail application. Let's see one example in ASP.NET 2.0 (Web Application) In WebMailSend.aspx.cs file You have to import this namespace for MailMessage. using System.Net.Mail; protected void btnSend_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { try { MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.IsBodyHtml = true ; mail.To.Add(txtEmail.Text); mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text; 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.

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...

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>
