Recently my college got problem in AJAX file upload control which is “AJAXControlToolKit required Ajax4.0 script”

see the error detail in below snap.

 So the reason behind this he is using AJAX script manager not AJAX toolkit script manager. Now you have question when to use script manager and when to use AJAX toolkit script manager so my suggestion is always use AJAX toolkit script manager because it is faster than script manager in many ways and if you try to find difference between AJAX script Manager & AJAX Toolkit script manager then you will find AJAX toolkit script manager is best option for enhancement of your web app performance also.

(If you have not downloaded AJAX toolkit Script Manager then you can download latest  AJAX toolkit and install on your machine)

 So Enjoy weekend.

 Happy Makar sakranti (Indian New Year)

Step 2: if command is successful then you will get following screen

In this way after successful execution if you see the size of CSS file it significantly reduced as shown in below fig.

You have seen all the steps and utility now you are thinking why we have to use this and how it will work. So the answer is if your JS & CSS file size is less then it will take less time in load and your website will be faster. The working is as simple as you thought

AJAXMinifier remove all the unwanted white space, curly braces and use short hand in declaration and many more techniques for reducing the size.

I hope this will help you and me also in performance boost.
Keep enjoying Microsoft tools.

This is another post related to new functions in DENALI (SQL SERVER 2012).

So today I am going to discuss “CHOOSE” functions .By the name it is clear that it will choose value.

In a simple sentence you can say it array which give value according to index parameter.

Its syntax is very simple.

CHOOSE (VALUE,CHOICE1, CHOICE2….CHOICEN)

Below is example.

In the example we are passing month value in CHOOSE function and according to value it provide corresponding string value of month.

 

DECLARE @tblFriends AS TABLE (Prefix VARCHAR(10) ,
Fname VARCHAR(200),
LName VARCHAR(100),
DOB SMALLDATETIME)

SELECT CONCAT(Prefix,' ' ,FName, ' ',LName) AS ConcatName,
CHOOSE (datePart(m,DOB),'JAN','FEB','MAR','APR','MAY','JUN','JUL','AUG','SEP','OCT','NOV','DEC') AS DOBMONTH
FROM @tblFriends

so when you execute this script you will get following result.

I hope you enjoyed learning this.

ConcatName DOBMONTH
DR Ravindra Verma JAN
Mr Rajul Verma MAR
Sir Suyash Kokje APR
Sardar Ravindra Dhariwal FEB
Pandit Shyam Purohit MAY
Shrikant Yadav JUN
Sawan Gupta JUL
Pankaj Tomar AUG
Vaibhav Joshi SEP
Vikram Chouhan OCT
Subhash Patidar NOV
Vinay Karma DEC

Its syntax is very simple.
CONCAT (string1, string2….StringN)
The best part is it handles NULL value also we don’t have to work on NULL value explicitly.
Below is example.
DECLARE @tblFriends AS TABLE (Prefix VARCHAR(10) ,
Fname VARCHAR(200),
LName VARCHAR(100),
DOB SMALLDATETIME)

INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Prefix,Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘DR’,'Ravindra’,'Verma’,’1/1/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Prefix,Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Mr’,'Rajul’,'Verma’,’3/3/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Prefix,Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Sir’,'Suyash’,'Kokje’,’4/4/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Prefix,Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Sardar’,'Ravindra’,'Dhariwal’,’2/2/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Prefix,Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Pandit’,'Shyam’,'Purohit’,’5/5/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Shrikant’,'Yadav’,’6/6/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Sawan’,'Gupta’,’7/7/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Pankaj’,'Tomar’,’8/8/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Vaibhav’,'Joshi’,’9/9/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Vikram’,'Chouhan’,’10/10/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Subhash’,'Patidar’,’11/11/1981′)
INSERT INTO @tblFriends(Fname,LName,DOB) VALUES(‘Vinay’,'Karma’,’12/12/1981′)

SELECT CONCAT(Prefix,’ ‘ ,FName, ‘ ‘,LName) AS ConcatName
FROM @tblFriends

When you run the above script you will get following resultset.
 
ConcatName
DR Ravindra Verma
Mr Rajul Verma
Sir Suyash Kokje
Sardar Ravindra Dhariwal
Pandit Shyam Purohit
Shrikant Yadav
Sawan Gupta
Pankaj Tomar
Vaibhav Joshi
Vikram Chouhan
Subhash Patidar
Vinay Karma

 Just day before yesterday I forgot my Denali server password & server not having windows Authentication.

 I am unable to login to the server.  So I just tried a trick and it worked successfully.
I just open the service account of SQL SERVER and change its login to Local System Account as shown in below fig.
And this trick worked successfully and now I can login using windows account.

I hope this will help to you also if by chance you forgot your password to and same situation exists.

Thanks

As a continuation of Denali exploration series

(http://indiandotnet.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/see-beyond-the-sql-server-2005-latest-version-of-sql-server-denali/ )

I would like to share some new functions also here. I am sure you like shorthand function “IIF”. Denali now providing IIF function so Instead of writing CASE statement you can easily use IIF function.

 Its syntax is same as we doing in our other programming language.

 IIF (Condition, true value, false value)

 Example:-

DECLARE @genderMale AS BIT
 SET @genderMale = 1 -- where SELECT IIF (@genderMale = 1,’ Smart’, ‘Beautiful’) as property

I hope you will use it soon.
Happy Holidays!!!!

Thanks

Now suppose we require following result

Then we are going to use here a simple operator which is “FOR XML Path(‘’)” option so below is use of XML path.
Please run the below query for desire result.


DECLARE @StateCities AS TABLE (StateId INT,
StateName VARCHAR(500),
Cities VARCHAR(5000))

INSERT INTO @StateCities(StateId,StateName )
SELECT StateId,StateName
FROM State

UPDATE tmp
SET Cities = (SELECT c.CityName + ‘,’
FROM dbo.City c
WHERE c.StateId = tmp.StateId
ORDER BY c.CityName
FOR XML PATH (”))
FROM @StateCities tmp

SELECT * FROM @StateCities WHERE Cities IS NOT NULL
.
I hope it would help you.

Happy  Holidays 
Thanks & best regards,

Now with offset clause I can say from where I can start row fetching and FETCH NEXT will give me option how many rows I want.
So suppose I want 5 records after and skip first 2 rows then see below SQL statement
SELECT * FROM state ORDER BY StateName OFFSET 2 ROWS FETCH NEXT FROM 5 ROWS ONLY

Hope you enjoyed it and will use sooner or later.
Thanks & Regards
