Do you know the Best developers IDE?

Hi readers,
Thank you for your emails.I received 80 emails yesterday.
I appreciate it.

Here is the top 4 IDE for both .Net and Java Developers:

No1 Visual Studio 2008(Pro and Team Editions) from Microsoft.com
Why No1? Because all is visual (windows& web apps) and it has robust
framework behind it.

No2 Netbeans IDE from Netbeans.org(Java,C++,Ruby,PHP,Python..)
It has all except the visual part is missing except Swing(Java)

No3 Eclipse IDE(Java) from eclipse.org

No4 Aptana Studio (Java,PHP,Ruby,Perl) from aptana.com

There are still good IDE out there but these are the top one.

Thank you for reading.

How to get the current Primary Key from GridView(ASP.NET 2.0/3.5)?

Hi Readers,

Thank you for your emails .I am very grateful to your emails.They help me
post more blogs even i am very busy debug codes.

Take a good look at this grid:



What if i want to update Documents table with this statement:

Update Documents SET Status='Active' WHERE DocumentID=Current selected row on gridview!!!!(Remember Document is a SQL Keyword)

Here are the easy way to do it(VB.NET):

Step1: fire RowCommand event from Gridview( ex GridView1_RowCommand ...Handles GridView1.RowCommand)

Step2: Use CommandName and CommandArgument properties

Ex commandname are :Edit,Update,Delete,Insert....
commandargument is used to find the primary key of currently select item on gridview

Here is the code within GridView1_RowCommand :

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand

Dim itm As Integer
If e.CommandName.Equals("Edit") Then

itm = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument) REM get primary key of selected row on gridview
UpdateStatus(itm)
REM your code goes here.Update() is a function with parameter named itm.
It goals is to update Documents table based on selected row on the grid.

End If

End Sub


That`s all i want to share with you today.

Introduction to Windows Live Cloud Services

Hi readers,





All IT compagnies are moving from traditional computer systems into cloud computing.


The good news is Microsoft invested a lot into it.


As a programmer and a member of MSDN network i invested myself into this too.


I am working on a Business Process/Workflow program which will be published soon on sourceforge.net and i need a chat control for the chart section of my project.I created a C# class library project which has all the functionality i needed for chat purposes.But i need something quick and fast.I have 1000 lines of code to review .So i checked Windows Live Services and i found a control that fit my need.


Here is a link to live service: link


To get started with Windows Live Controls(work both with VS 2005/2005) i precompile required bin on my download page .Copy Live Chat Bin here


Here are the steps:


Step1: Unzip Live Chat Bin and copy them into the bin section of your web project.





Step2: Open toolbox window from VS ,add a new tab and select choose items.Locate the ddl from step1 and click ok .You should see something like this:

Step 3:Drag any control from the list( i picked MessengerChat in my case).

NB :Remember to set PrivacyStatementUrl in order for MessengerChat to work properly.

The output shoud look like this after you run the browser:

Again thank you for you emails.

How to bind XML Data to GridView or DataGrid?

Hi Readers,

Thank you for reading my blog.I received 40 emails yesterday.

Here is how to bind xml data to GridView or DataGrid:

Download aspnetbooks.xml source code here

Step 1:

-Add reference to System.Data and System.XML
In VB.NET :
imports System.Data
imports System.Xml

In C# :
using System.Data;
using System.Xml;

Step2:
-Drop a GridView or DataGrid on designer surface
-Double click on designer for Page_Load event

Step3:Add this code inside Page_Load

In VB.NET :

Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim XMLMode As New System.Data.XmlReadMode
ds.ReadXml(GetXMLPath("Demos/aspnetbooks.xml"))
Me.GridView1.DataSource = ds
Me.GridView1.DataBind()

I programmed GetXMLPath function which is:

Protected Function GetXMLPath(ByVal xmlpath As String) As String
Return Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & xmlpath
End Function

In C#:

DataSet ds=new DataSet();
System.Data.XmlReadMode XMLMode=new System.Data.XmlReadMode();
ds.ReadXml(GetXMLPath("Demos/aspnetbooks.xml"))
this.GridView1.DataSource = ds
this.GridView1.DataBind()

for the function:

protected string GetXMLPath(string xmlpath)
{
return Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + xmlpath
}

Note + sign instead of & inside GetXMLPath method(C# uses + while VB.NET uses &)

The code inside VS should look like this:






The output should look like this:
