Installing ASP Classic on IIS 7

If you find yourself needing (because I'm not sure anyone would WANT to do this here in 2007) to work in classic ASP on a dev machine running IIS7, you have to enable/install ASP first since its not part of the package by default.
Go to Control Panel/Programs and Features, then select "Turn Windows Features On or Off".
Once you're into the Windows Features interface, navigate to Internet Information Services/World Wide Web Services/Application Development Features and check off ASP (I noticed that ASP.NET was unchecked in mine as well...which makes sense since most devs probably use the built in web server instead of IIS on their dev boxes...but feel free to enable it here if you want).

Multiple instances of iexplore.exe

Copule of days ago i noticed some strange behavior in Window Task Manager. I found number of instances for iexplore.exe. Wait a minute !!! I just have only one IE open then how come number of instance ??? Virus ???

Nah..You heard me right, It is not. So Please Do not install Eset or A-Squard softwares.

First, Right click on iexplorer.exe process in Task Manager and Open File Location. If it is C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe then its the legit MS process. Otherwise go ahead with your Anti Virus softwares. :)

It’s perfectly normal to see two or more iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when an Internet Explorer 8 window is open. This is due to a change implemented in Internet Explorer 8 where the frame and tabs are split, each having their own processes. Each tab has its own process so that the rest of the tabs and the browser frame/window are not affected when a single tab process crashes.

C# Programming and Microsoft Visual Studio Tips and Tricks

Abstracts:


Introduction
C# is a great language. It is relatively easy to learn with its simpler syntax over C++ programming and Java. Ten years down the line it still is a strong competitor. It has had improvement year after year, with new features added with its every release. It has not disappointed the C# developer community.

1. Environment.Newline

Did you know that this property is platform independent and allows you to output the new line characters as per the platform?

Console.WriteLine("My Tips On ,{0}C#", Environment.NewLine);

2. Namespace Alias

Did you know that you can substitute your big namespaces with shorter aliases? Or have you faced a situation where you had to qualify the object with its complete namespace to avoid ambiguity.

Look at the sample below where there is a generic library created with extended .NET Framework controls.

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using MyGenericLibrary.UserControls;

/* Assuming that you had a Text Box control in both the namespace, you would have to fully qualify the class object with the complete namespace. To avoid that, you can use namespace alias. Change as below */

Get month name by month number - C#

One of the simplest method to get month name from month number that i have implemented just today :) (after a loooong time)

string strMonthName =
strDateTimeFormatInfoObj.GetMonthName(9).ToString();

Set Up Document Sets in SharePoint 2010

One of the OOTB method for managing, editing or downloading documents together in a set under a document library.

Abstracts:
But of course, they are more than that. See why:

• Document sets can share the same metadata.
• Versioning the document set instead of the separated documents.
• Initiate workflows for the whole document set.
• Document set level permission management.
• Download all documents of a document set compressed into a ZIP file.
• Customizable Welcome Page for all document set.

Sounds good, right?

AJAX How-to: Scroll to the top of a Page when clicking on only the Pager Controls in DataView

AJAX How-to: Scroll to the top of a Page when clicking on only the Pager Controls in DataView

Today I figured out how to Scroll back to the top of a Page when one of my users click on the Pager Controls at the bottom of a Page. I wanted all of the other AJAX postbacks to not scroll, but I did want the postbacks to scroll to the top when the pager controls were clicked. The pager control's client ID's are not set, so the postbackElement ID is set equal to the DataView, so knowing that information you can use the PageRequestManager to scroll to the top only if the the pager controls are clicked. (This works for both the Top and Bottom Pager controls):

|| Michchhami Dukkadam ||

The most important festival of Jainism i.e. "Paryushan" is over.

One custom to be followed after the last day of Paryushan (Samvatsari) is that of saying " Michhami Dukkadam ".

On Samvatsari day the ritual of Pratikraman is performed. Since "Samvatsari" is an annual event so is the Samvatsari Pratikraman.

Under Samvatsari Pratikraman there comes the retrospection of all bad deeds and mistakes committed in the past year.

We are critical of the bad deeds and resolve not to let them happen in the future.

We also request forgiveness from all the living beings in the world if we might have knowingly or unknowingly caused harm to them.

Thus, after the Pratikraman it is customary to request forgiveness from everyone we know and meet by saying "Michhami Dukkadam".

The idea behind it being that - "After requesting forgiveness from all living beings in general as part of Pratikraman, I do so one-to-one with you."

We become more specific and personal by doing so. In addition to requesting forgiveness, one has to grant forgiveness too.

Thus by forgiving everyone and requesting forgiveness from all we ligthen ourselves and our mind from past year's misdeeds.

" Michchhami (Mithya) means fruitless / forgiven and Dukkadam (Dushkrit) means bad deeds.

Therefore the meaning of Michchhami Dukkadam is ' MY BAD DEEDS BE FRUITLESS '.

So the idea behind conveying Michchhami Dukkadam is that if I have caused any harm to you then may those bad deeds be forgiven, become fruitless.

MICHHAMI DUKKADAM ! Forgive me for my ignorance!

Single SignOn (SSO) : Pluggable provider

I was looking for  "How to implement SSO between SharePoint and ASP.NET site".

After spending a little time I found a very useful link for the same:

Abstracts:
By default, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides the
Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) service for storage and mapping of
credentials for use in connecting with third-party or back-end systems.
Many companies already have developed an in-house credential storage
system or use a solution other than the Microsoft Single Sign-On
service. As an alternative to maintaining credential mapping in two
places, Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a mechanism called
pluggable SSO. This feature allows you to specify an alternate SSO
provider to the standard SSO provider in Office SharePoint Server 2007

PageViewer WebPart > Connect

A good link I found related to Page Viewer Webpart connection.

Normally the OOB page viewer webpart doesn't support the connection to another webpart.
But as per the implementation listed in below link, you can do the connection for that webpart.
