In this post we are going to create a connection with Microsoft SQL Server using .Net Framework and we would be using C# as our language. In order to perform SQL related tasks we need to use SqlClient under Data therefore we would add following line in the code window of each form where we will be performing SQL related tasks. using System.Data.SqlClient; Next we need to create a connection [...]

As such there is nothing like renaming a file in C# but that functionality can certainly be achieved using Move function. Move : Basically move function accepts two arguments the file to be moved and new location where it needs to be moved along with the name of the file.

What is JOIN in SQL? In a large application we have multiple tables in a database and they are interrelated with each other. When we are required to retrieve the data from those tables based on the relationship between them we use JOINs. So we can say Join is a method to retrieve rows from multiple tables satisfying some criteria (relationship). How many joins are there? There are basically two [...]

Class instances often encapsulate control over resources that are not managed by the runtime, such as window handles (HWND), database connections, and so on. Therefore, you should provide both an explicit and an implicit way to free those resources. Provide implicit control by implementing the protected Finalize Method on an object (destructor syntax in C# and the Managed Extensions for C++). The garbage collector calls this method at some point [...]

I just started preparing for my microsoft 70 480 scheduled next month. Today I read about jQuery Selectors. I also came to know that CSS selectors and jQuery selectors are more over same. I created a web page for the same. You can click on a selector and it will tell you what the selector does and give you a demo on screen. Simply click a button and look for [...]

Many a time we require to perform hash on data. The need can be because of reasons stated below but not limited to them only : We hash password and then save them in database so that it is not recoverable. We along with message provide a hash as well so that if the message is changed by someone the same can be traced. To create a digest we use [...]

Many a times an API call requires Byte array as argument when we have string to pass and it requires a conversion to be carried out. We can use static method GetBytes available in UTF8Encoding.UTF8 to get the array of bytes out of String we passed. Apart from UTF8Encoding you can also use UTF7Encoding and UTF32Encoding See following statements for an example : source.jsraw download1 2 3 UTF32Encoding.UTF32.GetBytes(inputString); UTF7Encoding.UTF7.GetBytes(inputString); UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(inputString); Similarly we get byte array as [...]
