I Normally use Regular Expressions, however this depends on where you
want the presentation layer, on Business Module / Database or in the
actual presentation.

Of course one can do it... but when you require this kind of information programatically you need to iterate through records. In that case he'll have to use some piece of program using loop constructs like cursors (in case of T-SQL) or if he prefer he can do it by iterating in ADO.Net dataset also.

[itsdifferent] Comma separated list of values of single Database table field

Labels: , , ,

Many times you need to create a comma seperated list of values in a table. Here is a line of T-SQL solution to get comma separated list of values of single field of a database table.
 

DECLARE @commaSeparatedVal AS VARCHAR(MAX);

SELECT @commaSeparatedVal = ISNULL(@commaSeparatedVal +',','') + CONVERT(VARCHAR,[SKU]) FROM PRODUCT

PRINT @commaSeparatedVal

[itsdifferent] Importance of !important in CSS

Labels: , ,

Do you know What does !important mean in CSS?, an "!important" declaration (the keywords "!" and "important" follow the declaration) this takes high precedence over a normal declaration. And can be framed in this way, this means that the styles are applied in order as they are read by the browser.

CSS it tries to create a balance of power between author and user style sheets. By default, rules in an author's style sheet override those in a user's style sheet. But in CSS1, this is in other way round - Author "!important" rules took precedence over User "!important" rules.


For Example:
User's Style Sheet: 
   1: <style> 
   2:   p{font-size: 2em !important;} 
   3:   p{font-style: italic;} 
   4: </style>

Author's Style Sheet: 
   1: <style> 
   2:   p{font-size: 3em;} 
   3:   p{font-style: normal;} 
   4: </style>

If you see in the above instance, the first rule in the User's Style Sheet has "!important" declaration, which will overrides the first rule in the Author's Style Sheet. And if you observe for the second rule in User's Style Sheet it does not contain "!important" so this will be ruled out because here second rule in the Author's Style Sheet has got high preference so the HTML will render by taking size as "p{font-style: normal;}"

If you would like to know more on this, then check with the w3 site: w3.org and move to the section called "6.4.2 !important rules"

[itsdifferent] The Beauty of Mathematics

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321



Now, take a look at this...


101%



From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

[itsdifferent] Solar Powered Hearing Aid

Labels: , ,

finally I found something to cheer

With growing population of Elderly people around the world, a common need of hearing aid is increasing.

Howard Weinstein has successfully developed a solar powered hearing aid, Yes you heard that right, it does not needs any battery.

This Canadian business man's mission in Africa was to set up a company that would provide affordable hearing aids to partially deaf Africans.

Like all developing country, medical is not cheap in Africa, and hearing aid was an ailment only rich people can afford.

As per World Health Organization (WHO) there are roughly 250 million hearing-impaired people around the globe, out of that two thirds of them living in developing nations, however only 10 million instruments are made. Battery of the aid is the problem of the cost, it is estimated that 1$ cost of battery will last for just one week, certainly in India , China, Africa and Latin America 1$ can give you food for a day.

Weinstein did a great research and talked to many people, some financiers, tech geeks and industry exec.

He came up with "a cheap hearing aid powered by rechargeable solar batteries", keeping size, weight and all features just same, only change was in price.
It now cost less than $100, almost 20% of the price of the cheapest model avilable today. and not to mention that these rechargable battery last 2-3 years. Instrument comes with a  pocket-size recharger that can either plug into a wall outlet or use its own built-in solar panel.

Weinstein is getting funding from the Ashoka Foundation and the Oregon-based Lemelson Foundation.

Wish him all the Best.

[itsdifferent] Managed Extensibility Framework - MEF

Labels: , ,

Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) will be the new product from the MS.net framework family.

Microsoft's .NET Framework team is working on MEF which will help to improve compatibility with third-party extensions.

This framework will replace ad-hoc development and will provide single point solution for all API needs for a developer who are writing Application extensions.

Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) will consists of three technologies that work together

  • A Dependency Injection (DI) framework
  • A Naming and activation service
  • A "duck typing" structural type system.

Although this sounds like Object builder (Patterns and Practices), Cwalina (MEF program manager) assures this will be a revolution in .Net Application usage, he added that the development team is working closely with the Unity framework as well as the DI community to develop MEF.
