how to embed code formatting in Asp.net Application?


Lets understand how to embed code formatting in Asp.net Application. This can be useful while user enters the code online, and we need to format the code and able the preview the same. Example, on online forum or blog if user enters code, application should be smart to understand the part of code and able to format.

This Code Format utility used Manoli Csharp Format, I have used the sourcecode and demonstrate how this can be useful to implement code format in asp.net application.

Step1: Download Sourcecode from Manoli Online Code Format
To accomplish this task, download source code of manoli csharpformat.
Direct link for downloading Sourcecode of Manoli CsharpFormat

Step2: Compile the Class Library Project to generate binaries.

Step3: Create an asp.net application, while will be used to display Formatted Code.

Step4: Right Click project and Add Reference.
- Add Reference of binaries generated by Manoli Code Format Class Library Project

Step5: Add csharp.css file available with Manoli Code Format Sourcecode.
- Right Click and Add Existing Item and browse through location where csharp.css file is located. (This file will be available with sourcecode)
- And add link reference in default.aspx
<link href="csharp.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

After adding .dll file and .css file your solution explorer.


Step6: Add the 2 textbox controls, 1 button control and 1 label control.
2 – Textbox control, 1 for taking input and other for displaying generated html code.
1 – Label control for displaying preview.


Step7: Add ValidateRequest="false" in page derective for taking HTML Input
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"
 Inherits="_Default"
ValidateRequest="false" %>

Step8: Looking class diagram of Manoli Code Formatter
- You can create object for each language you wish to format.


Step9: Writing a Code to make everything works.

protected void btnPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string InputCode = txtInputCode.Text;
string HTMLCode = SmartFormat(InputCode, "C#", true, true);
 lblPreview.Text = HTMLCode;
txtCode.Text = HTMLCode;
}

/// <summary>
/// SmartFormat - Takes InputCode as string
/// and returns Generated HTML Code.
/// </summary>
 /// <param name="InputCode"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
private string SmartFormat(string InputCode, string Language,
 bool LineNumber,bool AlternateBackground)
{
string OutputHTML = string.Empty;
if (InputCode != string.Empty)
{
SourceFormat FormatCode;
 Language = Language.ToUpper();
switch (Language)
{
case "C#":
FormatCode = new CSharpFormat();
break;
case "JS":
 case "JavaScript":
FormatCode = new JavaScriptFormat();
break;
case "VB":
FormatCode = new VisualBasicFormat();
 break;
case "HTML":
case "XML":
case "ASPX":

 break;
default:
FormatCode = new CSharpFormat();
break;
}
FormatCode.LineNumbers = LineNumber;
FormatCode.Alternate = AlternateBackground;
OutputHTML = FormatCode.FormatCode(InputCode);
 }
return OutputHTML;
}

how to trim Characters in SQL Server ?




If you are looking for following solution than probably this post can help you out:

  • How to Trim Characters in SQL Server
  • How to Extract Part of String in SQL Server
  • Returning only Numeric Part of String in SQL Server
  • Trim String in SQL Server
  • Trim Left and Right Portion of String in SQL Server
  • How to Sort Numeric String in SQL Server.

Note: The Example I am going to discuss is the solution for above mention criteria, understand it and you can be able to derive solution for your problem.

I want to sort a string like this.

Nodes

1-49

100-249

1000-2499

10000+

250-499

2500-4999

50-99

500-749

5000-9999

750-999


Lets go step by step and then letter sum it up.

Step1: To undergo this task I need to extract characters from left till this "-" or "+" character.

Let find length till this "-"

select distinct MyExpr,charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 as Nodes from MyTable

1-49

1

10000+

-1

750-999

3

5000-9999

4

250-499

3

1000-2499

4

500-749

3

2500-4999

4

100-249

3

50-99

2

































So I also require separate statement for

select distinct MyExpr,charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 as Nodes from MyTable

1-49

-1

10000+

5

750-999

-1

5000-9999

-1

250-499

-1

1000-2499

-1

500-749

-1

2500-4999

-1

100-249

-1

50-99

-1

Now lets extract part of string by using substring function and case select statement.

select distinct MyExpr as Nodes,

substring(MyExpr,1,(

case

when charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 = '-1'

then charindex('+',MyExpr)-1

else charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 end

)

)

as 'NodesSort'

from MyTable

Order by 'NodesSort'

So this gives us extraction of Part of string from string. You can also see trim right portion of string.

1-49

1

100-249

100

1000-2499

1000

10000+

10000

250-499

250

2500-4999

2500

50-99

50

500-749

500

5000-9999

5000

750-999

750


Now casting the string and displaying in sorted order.

Casting string to int and applying order by for sorting.

select distinct MyExpr as Nodes,

-- SORT Logic

cast(

substring(MyExpr,1,(

case

when charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 = '-1'

then charindex('+',MyExpr)-1

else charindex('-',MyExpr)-1 end

)

)

as int) as 'NodesSort'

from MyTable

order by 'NodesSort'

1-49

1

50-99

50

100-249

100

250-499

250

500-749

500

750-999

750

1000-2499

1000

2500-4999

2500

5000-9999

5000

10000+

10000

What's next for csUnit?

Since the March '08 release of csUnit we have thought about what area we should focus on next. We have improved the performance, we have added data-driven testing, and we there were always a few features that csUnit provided first.

The next area we are looking at is usability. We'd like to improve usability significantly.

For instance, as test suites grow it may become more and more time consuming to locate a particular test or test fixture. The next version of csUnit will therefore feature an easy to use search capability, available for both the stand-alone GUI and the addin for Visual Studio.

We are also putting quite some effort into improving the test tree view. We believe that all users will benefit from improvements in this area.

And finally, csUnit has become very feature rich over time. Some people prefer a simpler UI. We want to serve both groups of users the ones who prefer the rich functionality, and the ones who prefer to keep it simple. The idea is to add some configurability to the UI so that depending on your preference more or less elements become visible.

Stay tuned! And if there is a feature you'd like to see, don't hesitate to visit csUnit's web site and follow the link to "Suggest a feature" that you can find on most pages.

What's the alternative of MySQL ? Because MySQL may be closed-source

The decision is certainly Sun Microsystem's business. However, the users have an opportunity to help Sun Microsystem's understand the consequences of their decision.

For instance, if you want to continue using an open-source database, PostgreSQL might be an alternative worth looking at. Developing for the Microsoft platform, it offers native interfaces for C, C++, and .NET, and even the "good old" (?) ODBC is available.

Tips for Debugging Custom Actions in dotnet

Tip 1: For the message box make sure you give it a title or caption. For instance if you use MessageBox.Show() then use the overload that takes two strings as parameters. The first is the message in the message box. The second parameter is the caption. That's the important one since this is the string that you will find in the list of processes when you want to identify the right process.

Tip 2: In the dialog box for attaching the debugger to a process make sure you tick "Show processes from all users" as it might be that the msiexec.exe instance you are interested in is not displayed.

What is Union in C#?Explain with sample code

One can simulate union in C# with the help of StructLayout and FieldOffset attributes.

StructLayout attribute allows the user to control the physical layout of the data fields of a class or structure. Specify the LayoutKind the first parameter as LayoutKind.Explicit.

Tag each field with FieldOffset attribute. The attribute must be applied so that the type members are overlaying the same memory area.


using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
// Above namespace required for StructLayout attribute
namespace UnionTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Union test = new Union();
test.x = 256;
//Setting value 256 makes high-order byte to be set to 1. Byte ranges up to 255.
Console.WriteLine("Low:" + test.lowx + "\nHigh:" + test.highx);
}
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit,Size=2)]
public struct Union
{
//2 bytes
[FieldOffset(0)]public short x;
//1 byte
[FieldOffset(0)]public byte lowx;
//1 byte -->represents high-order byte.
[FieldOffset(1)]public byte highx;
}
}

What is Local Type Inference in C# 3.0?

C# 3.0 has new feature called "Local Type Inference". Type Inference lets compiler decide the data type of variable/object. Variable initializing data value helps compiler to decide the data type. C# 3.0 introduces new keywaord "var" to declare such variables. No explicit type declaration is required.

Local Type Inference has type inference only for local variables. One cannot declare class-/struct-level fields with keyword "var". "var" cannot act as return type for function and cannot appear in function parameter i.e. no "var" should be used in function signature.


using System;

namespace TypeInference
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var i = 5;
var intArray = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
//Variables declared with var cannot be assigned to null if no type has been inferred.
var str = default(string);
Console.WriteLine("Data Type Of i:"+i.GetType().Name);
Console.WriteLine("Data Type of intArray:" + intArray.GetType().Name);
//Console.WriteLine("Data Type of str:" + str.GetType().Name); -->Null Reference Exception
str = "";
Console.WriteLine("Data Type of str:" + str.GetType().Name);
}
}

What is Extension Methods in C# 3.0?

Developer code for assemblies. Compile it & publish it for client use. User of assembly may like to have some additional functionality in data types of the assembly. e.g int or Int32 do not have function to convert integer to complex number. ComplexNumber is the new data type defined by user.

Now with C# 3.0 has provided with the concept of extension methods. Extension methods enable us to extend the functionality of data types already defined. No source code of the assembly is available to modify & recompile the assembly. Still one can extend the data types functionality.

Inheritance also provides capability to extend the functionality but the extended functionality is available only for derived classes & not to the base class. e.g Consider I'd like to have a ToInt function in String class. If I use inheritance approach, I have to create new derived type. So I cannot use methods of derived type on my String objects.

Extension methods are written in static class. The method should also a static method. First parameter of the method must be of type being extended. The first parameter must have this keyword before it.

See the code below.

public static class ExtensionInt
{
public static Complex ToComplex(this int val)
{
Complex temp = new Complex();
temp.Real = val;
return temp;
}
}

Complex is the type defined as follows:

public class Complex
{
public int Real;
public int Imag;
public override string ToString()
{
return (Real.ToString() + "+i" + Imag.ToString());
}
}

Use the method ToComplex for int or Int32.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int i = 5;
Console.WriteLine(i.ToComplex().ToString());
}

Sealed classes can take advantage of extension methods. LINQ makes use of extension methods defined in Enumerable static class. The class extends functionality of objects implementing IEnumerable interface. To use the extension methods from Enumerable class refer the assembly System.Core.

how to Fetch System Information in C#?

System.Windows.Forms namespace has SystemInformation class. The class has various static properties. To get information about the current system environment, use the class.

To determine the startup mode of the system, use BootMode property. The property can have values : Normal, FailSafe or FailSafeWithNetwork. All these values are defined in BootMode enumeration of System.Windows.Forms namespace.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

//Add reference to System.Windows.Forms assembly.

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(SystemInformation.BootMode.ToString());
}
}
}

To access the computer name, use ComputerName property.

Console.WriteLine(SystemInformation.ComputeName);

To find out number of displays connected to machine, MonitorCount propery will help us.

Console.WriteLine(SystemInformation.MonitorCount.ToString());

Availability of mouse can be checked with the help of property MousePresent.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
if(SystemInformation.MousePresent)
Console.WriteLine("System has the mouse connected");
}

To check for network connection availability, use Network property.

if(SystemInformation.Network)
Console.WriteLine("System is connected to the network.");
There are lot many properties exposed by SystemInformation class.

What is Delegates in C#? Explain Delegates

Delegates in C#

Pointer is a variable, which stores address of some memory location. The memory location can be the storage for some value or beginning of function. When it points to function, it is function pointer. Function pointer has address of the function.

Function pointers are not safe. In thousand lines of code, if we have to invoke the function using function pointer, we cannot assure that the pointer points to function without going through the code.
We cannot ensure the number of parameters to the function or the order of parameters. Order of parameters refer to data types. What will happen if we invoked a function with function pointer & pointer is not pointing to function? What will happen if we invoked a function with function pointer & number of arguments are more or less passed? What will happen if we invoked a function with function pointer & order of parameters is wrong? (e.g. Function accepts int first & we pass string first.)

In all cases, our application will crash. In essence, Function pointers are not type-safe.

.NET has got a concept of delegates which are type-safe function pointers with ability to point to multiple functions. Delegates are declared in C# using keyword delegate.

public delegate void DisplayDelegate(string msg);

Declaration of delegate is just like function declaration. That is, the delegate must be declared with return data type & parameters. Parameter names are not relevant.

Internally, a class "DisplayDelegate" is generated which derives from System.MulticastDelegate. System.MulticastDelegate derives from System.Delegate. System.Delegate is the base class. One can create the object of "DisplayDelegate" class. The constructor accepts the function which has same signature as that of delegate declaration.
using System;

namespace DelegateDemo
{
public delegate void DisplayDelegate(string msg);
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DisplayDelegate del = new DisplayDelegate(Show);
del("Hello, delegate!!!");
//Or del.Invoke("Hello, delegate!!!");
}
static void Show(string str)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
}
}
To invoke function using delegate, use Invoke function on delegate object with parameter values for the function. The function wrapped in delegate can be static or instance function.

Let's see, how delegates are type-safe? When one creates a delegate object, the delegate is aware of the parameters required. Wherever you call the function using delegate, compiler will not compile the program if,

  • function specified in constructor is not with appropriate function signature.
  • the number of parameters are less or more while invoking the function.
  • the order of parameters is not appropriate.
In essence, delegates are type-safe. One can catch the errors at compile-time only using delegatesA single delegate can have multiple functions. All functions must have same signature like delegate. Delegate invokes functions in FIFO(First-In,First-Out) order. If the function has return value, return value of last function invoked will be returned by delegate. Return values of all other functions are lost.

System.Delegate class has two static methods Combine and Remove. Use the methods to provide the delegate with multiple functions.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace DelegateDemo
{
public delegate void DisplayDelegate(string msg);
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DisplayDelegate del = new DisplayDelegate(Show);
DisplayDelegate del1 = new DisplayDelegate(Print);
del = (DisplayDelegate)Delegate.Combine(del, del1);
del("Hello,World!!!");
del = (DisplayDelegate)Delegate.Remove(del, del1);
del("Hi!!!");
}
static void Show(string str)
{
MessageBox.Show(str);
}
static void Print(string msg)
{
Console.WriteLine(msg);
}
}
}

System.Delegate has two properties Method and Target. The derived class have these properties inherited. "Method" property gets the method represented by delegate. "Target" gets the instance/object on which the delegate operates. "Target" returns null for static methods.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DisplayDelegate del = new DisplayDelegate(Show);
Console.WriteLine(del.Method.Name);
if(del.Target!=null)
Console.WriteLine(del.Target.ToString());
}

If delegate has multiple functions, one can use GetInvocationList method of System.Delegate class to retrieve System.Delegate[] array.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
DisplayDelegate del = new DisplayDelegate(Show);
DisplayDelegate del1 = new DisplayDelegate(Print);
del = (DisplayDelegate)Delegate.Combine(del, del1);
foreach (DisplayDelegate minf in del.GetInvocationList())
{
Console.WriteLine(minf.Method.Name);
}
}

10 Keys to a Successful Job Search


Ten Keys to a Successful Job Search

1. Take stock - (Know Yourself)

If you know your strengths and weaknesses and what you want in a career, then you have a much better chance of finding your perfect job. Finding that dream position starts with understanding your personality, values and what drives you. Taking a career and personality assessment is a huge first step towards optimizing your personal career path. TheMyers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment is the most widely used personality instrument. More than 2 million worldwide assessments are performed each year by job seekers, professionals, and organizations, including 89 of the Fortune 100. Take a Free Personality Test now to find out what motivates you and find the perfect job today.

2. Networking - (Know others)

Many jobs are obtained through networking. It is a very important tool for job seekers and is an extremely fast and effective way to find your next job or career. While many employers advertise open positions on internet job boards like Job Bank USA, you should find out about the "hidden job market" as well by talking to as many people as possible and letting them know you are looking for a job.

3. Accomplishment oriented resume - (Know how to write it well)

The purpose of a resume is not to get you a job, but to land an interview. An organized, industry-specific and accomplishment-oriented resume will get employers to take notice. In todays hyper-competitive job market, you simply cannot afford to send out a resume that is less than perfect.

Two Common Yet Easily-Avoidable Resume Mistakes
1. Always use a professional email address on your resume. While footballfan@aol.com may be fine for conversing with friends, it will give employers a negative perception of your level of professionalism and commitment to your job search.
2. If your resume includes an objective statement, it should be geared to both your personal goals as well as the goals of the company. Describing how you can add value to the company will give potentialemployers the impression that your goal is to provide a long-term commitment.

4. Job proposal - (Know your value)

Get the attention of decision-makers at a company through a Job proposal. It's a one or two page "mini business plan" that's intended to get you an interview with the decision-maker of a targeted prospective employer. While a resume tells someone what you have done in the past, a job proposal shows in some detail what you are going to do for the company down the road. Specifically, it lays out how you will help them achieve their vision of success. It generally explains the vision you have for a new product or service, how to enhance an existing program, or why to implement a new process. It may also outline your plan to increase company sales or improve accounts receivable. When you challenge the relevance of traditional job search strategies and begin utilizing tools and techniques that clearly distinguish you from the pack, most anything is possible, including winning a dream job with a great company during a down economy.

5. Industry Knowledge - (Know your market)

During your job search, it is imperative to show initiative and drive while continually looking to improve your industry knowledge. In today's competitive job market, staying up-to-date on your industry is crucial to your future success. To be a truly outstanding business professional, you must not only understand trends and developments in your own industry, but the trends and developments in an average consumer's industry.

6. Research - (Know the players)

There is no substitute for hard work and research. Knowing which companies are hiring in your area is only half the battle. Take your search to another level by getting access to key contacts, decision makers, and hiring managers. Check out sites like Hoovers.com to gain access to these types of lists. You can visit CareerConsultation.com for more information regarding customized research to meet your needs.

7. Interviewing - (Know how to communicate)

The biggest mistake in interviewing is not being fully prepared. It is crucial for job-seekers to use every conceivable means possible to prepare for an interview and to allow ample time to fully prepare. Understand that interviewing is a skill; as with all skills, preparation and practice enhance the quality of that skill. Preparation can make the difference between getting an offer and getting rejected.

Practice Answering These Commonly-Asked Interview Questions:
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Where do you expect to be in five years?
3. Describe a work-related problem you had to face recently. What did you do to deal with it?
4. What are your strengths? Weaknesses?

8. Marketing - (Know how to sell yourself)

An interactive marketing portfolio of yourself pulls together your accomplishments, education, experience and awards in one place. It is a highly-effective job-hunting tool that you develop that gives employers a complete picture of who you are -– your experience, your education, your accomplishments, your skill sets, and what you have the potential to become -– much more than just a cover letter and resume can provide. You can use your career portfolio in job interviews to showcase a point, to illustrate the depth of your skills and experience, or to use as a tool to get a second interview. Dont forget to setup your portfolio at Job Bank USA. The best kinds of portfolios can be built and distributed to employers through the internet.

9. Background Check - (Know your history)

With thousands of resumes to choose from, employers often select from pre-screened candidates first, as these job seekers appear more serious in their job quest and commitment. Pre-screening by the job seeker saves the employer valuable time and money, and places pre-screened candidates ahead of the competition. For more information on getting a background check, you can take a look in our Career Resources section at Job Bank USA

10. Learning never ends - (Know more)

The investment of time and money in continuing your education sends a powerful message to prospective employers that you are serious about improving your skills and abilities. Employers are more likely to hire candidates that show the desire and commitment for lifelong learning. Whether it's a certificate program, associates, bachelors, or masters degree, there is a program to fit your lifestyle, schedule and budget.
