    Jade - Template Engine for NodeJS. Jade is a cool, elegant, high-performance (and probably the most used) templating
    language for Node focused on enabling quick HTML coding. It has been influenced by &lt;a href=&quot;http://haml-lang.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HAML&lt;/a&gt;.
    And its the default rendering engine for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://expressjs.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;express web framework&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
        Official Website for Jade: &lt;a href=&quot;http://jade-lang.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;jade-lang.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
        Jade is maintained by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbeslindesay.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;@ForbesLindesay&lt;/a&gt; and contributed by many others.
    &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a simple &amp; beautiful video tutorial series from YouTube!, on Jade covering almost all aspects of Jade. Yes this was the turorial from where I laid my Jade Fundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Top Speed HTML Development With Jade&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re not using Jade, you’re missing out on some of the fastest HTML you’ll ever write, as well as boilerplate templating methods that will slash your development time in half. In Top-Speed HTML Development With Jade, you’ll learn how to generate full HTML from quick and easy shorthand. You’ll then build on that foundation to create infinitely reusable templates so you never again have to write the same code twice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My previous post  regarding what&#39;s new in ASP.Net MVC 6 provides more details about features and acrchituctural changes in  MVC 6.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p &gt;Here are some official videos from Channel 9! giving sneak peek to ASP.Net MVC 6.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;ASP.NET Today and Tomorrow&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keynote at &lt;a href=&quot;http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dotnetConf 2014&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href=&quot;http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Speakers/Scott-Hunter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Scott Hunter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p &gt; It&#39;s been an amazing decade for ASP.NET. Today in 2014, most all of ASP.NET is open source, developed in the open, and accepting community contributions. One ASP.NET and VS 2013 added some amazing new tooling enhancements for HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. VS2013.3 is coming soon with even more innovations as we march towards ASP.NET vNext. Join Scott Hunter as he shows you how it works together. What&#39;s available on ASP.NET today, and where is ASP.NET headed tomorrow, and what do you need to know to best support the code you&#39;ve written and the code you will write. We&#39;ll also talk about the rise of the cloud and how it changes the way we write large systems. All this, plus a lot of open source, and deploying to Azure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; style=&quot;height: 340px; width: 605px;&quot; src=&quot;//channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/State-of-ASP-NET/player?h=340&amp;amp;w=605&amp;amp;format=html5&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;ASP.NET MVC 6 (now with integrated Web API!)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By  &lt;a href=&quot;http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Speakers/daniel-roth&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Daniel Roth&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href=&quot;http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dotnetConf 2014&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p &gt;ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API in ASP.NET vNext are becoming one singular framework: ASP.NET MVC 6. Join Daniel Roth as he shows how to create great ASP.NET web apps that serve both pages and services. First we&#39;ll see how to build OData v4 compliant services using ASP.NET Web API 2.2 and the new attribute routing features available in ASP.NET MVC 5.2. Then we&#39;ll take a look at how ASP.NET MVC and Web API are being combined into a single framework, ASP.NET MVC 6, for handling all of your Web UI and services. We&#39;ll learn how to use ASP.NET MVC and Web APIs in ASP.NET vNext to support connected applications for browsers, Windows Phone, Windows Store and more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; style=&quot;height: 340px; width: 605px;&quot; src=&quot;//channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2014/MVC-6/player?h=340&amp;amp;w=605&amp;amp;format=html5&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;ASP.NET Identity&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p &gt; ASP.NET Identity is a totally rewritten framework that brings the ASP.NET membership system into the modern era. ASP.NET Identity makes it easier to integrate different authentication systems such as local username, password as well as social logins such as Facebook, Twitter etc. It also gives you greater control over persisting data to your backend technology of choice. ASP.NET Identity is a game changer by bringing in more modern authentication systems such as Two-Factor Authentication. You can use ASP.NET Identity to secure Web Apps as well as Web APIs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

   <title>Moving my blog to Jekyll!</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/jekyll/Moving-My-Blog-To-Jekyll"/>
   <updated>2015-04-20T04:21:46-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/jekyll/Moving-My-Blog-To-Jekyll</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Yes I am moving my blog(blog.PBDesk.com) from WordPress to Jekyll and host it at Github pages at &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.io&quot;&gt;http://blog.pbdesk.io&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.io&quot;&gt;http://blog.pbdesk.io&lt;/a&gt; Preview is almost ready&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One more jump for my blog. I started blogging since 2007 using Google&amp;rsquo;s blogger and to start with it was really easy and simple start. 
And continued using it till 2013. Huh! Pretty long time. But in mean time I thought of moving it to WordPress as that was the most used 
blogging engine and the main thing that tempted me to move to WordPress was whole world of plugins support. 
And by end of 2013 I moved to self hosted WordPress blog at blog.PBDesk.com. But very soon I started to realize that thorns 
always come with roses. Easily installable plugins, very soon, made my system complex and started breaking frequently due to 
incompatible version upgrades. Moreover PHP was not my forte so making any change at code level was not that easy for me. 
And finally being self hosted site I  have to take care of site and DB backups. Was not able to keep up with all this,&lt;br&gt;
and so waanted to move again to something simple.  And found &lt;a href=&quot;http://jekyllrb.com/&quot;&gt;Jekyll&lt;/a&gt; - from Github team.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best part of Jekyll was its simplicity - everything was in files and git and no database. No worry of backups as its all in 
git and can be hosted as Github pages free of cost so even no hosting cost. That was the coolest part. Yes there was bit of 
learning curve for me as Jekyll is Ruby based and uses Liquid templating engine, but that was not difficult job for me - those 
who know me very well know that I am always on learning ramp.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Welcome to Jekyll!</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/jekyll/welcome-to-jekyll"/>
   <updated>2015-04-18T04:21:46-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/jekyll/welcome-to-jekyll</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was the default post created when I created Jekyll project. Keeping this post as is to show my liking for Jekyll.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’ll find this post in your &lt;code&gt;_posts&lt;/code&gt; directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run &lt;code&gt;jekyll serve&lt;/code&gt;, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To add new posts, simply add a file in the &lt;code&gt;_posts&lt;/code&gt; directory that follows the convention &lt;code&gt;YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext&lt;/code&gt; and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;language-ruby&quot; data-lang=&quot;ruby&quot;&gt;def print_hi(name)
  puts &amp;quot;Hi, #{name}&amp;quot;
end
print_hi(&amp;#39;Tom&amp;#39;)
#=&amp;gt; prints &amp;#39;Hi, Tom&amp;#39; to STDOUT.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://jekyllrb.com&quot;&gt;Jekyll docs&lt;/a&gt; for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll. File all bugs/feature requests at &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll&quot;&gt;Jekyll’s GitHub repo&lt;/a&gt;. If you have questions, you can ask them on &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-help&quot;&gt;Jekyll’s dedicated Help repository&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>ASP.Net MVC 6 - Whats New?</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/asp-net-mvc-6-whats-new"/>
   <updated>2014-11-05T10:35:50-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/asp-net-mvc-6-whats-new</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Asp.Net vNext (http://asp.net/vNext) is the official place where we learn about next generation of Microsoft&#39;s ASP.Net framework. As of 2014 vNext is MVC 6! Yes MVC 6 is the new cool major overhaul over previous ASP.Net. Recently, Microsoft announced the preview availability of this product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;ASP.NET vNext is a lean and composable framework for building web and cloud applications. ASP.NET vNext is fully open source and available on &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/aspnet/home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GitHub&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;MVC 6  has been redesigned from the ground up. The goal is to create a lean and composable .NET stack for building modern web/cloud-based apps. Microsoft has chosen a new direction, where the Web API, MVC and Web Pages framework are merged into one framework. This allows to remove a lot of the overlap between the three frameworks. And result of this change means that MVC can be self-hosting just like Web API.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yes, System.Web is very heavy &amp;amp; quite expensive! A typical HttpContext object graph would consume about 30K of memory per request. With MVC 6&#39;s new design, its independent of System.Web now and the pre-request overhead drops to roughly 2K.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt; [stextbox id=&quot;black&quot;]MVC, Web API, and Web Pages are merged into one framework, called MVC 6.[/stextbox]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are the highlights:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Rebuilt from the Ground Up&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MVC, Web API, and Web Pages are merged into one framework, called MVC 6. The new framework uses a common set of abstractions for routing, action selection, filters, model binding, and so on.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dependency injection is built into the framework. Use your preferred IoC container to register dependencies.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;vNext is host agnostic. You can host your app in IIS, or self-host in a custom process. (Web API 2 and SignalR 2 already support self-hosting; vNext brings this same capability to MVC.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;vNext is open source and cross platform.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Leaner, Faster&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MVC 6 has no dependency on System.Web.dll. The result is a leaner framework, with faster startup time and lower memory consumption.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;vNext apps can use a cloud-optimized runtime and subset of the .NET Framework. This subset of the framework is about 11 megabytes in size compared to 200 megabytes for the full framework, and is composed of a collection of NuGet packages.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Because the cloud-optimized framework is a collection of NuGet packages, your app can include only the packages you actually need. No unnecessary memory, disk space, loading time, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Microsoft can deliver updates to the framework on a faster cadence, because each part can be updated independently.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;True Side-by-Side Deployment&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reduced footprint of the cloud-optimized runtime makes it practical to deploy the framework with your app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can run apps side-by-side with different versions of the framework on the same server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your apps are insulated from framework changes on the server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can make framework updates for each app on its own schedule.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No errors when you deploy to production resulting from a mismatch between the framework patch level on the development machine and the production server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;New Development Experience&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vNext uses the &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/roslyn.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Roslyn compiler&lt;/a&gt; to compile code dynamically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can edit a code file, refresh the browser, and see the changes without rebuilding the project.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Besides streamlining the development process, dynamic code compilation enables development scenarios that were not possible before, such as editing code on the server using &lt;a href=&quot;http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/videos/building-web-sites-with-visual-studio-online-monaco/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Visual Studio Online (&quot;Monaco&quot;)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can choose your own editors and tools.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Resources&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

   <updated>2014-09-20T10:46:58-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/c-code-snippet-send-email</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Microsoft.Net framework provides &lt;a title=&quot;System.Net.Mail Namespace&quot; href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Net.Mail.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;System.Net.Mail&lt;/strong&gt; Namespace&lt;/a&gt; for handling SMTP and email related utilities. &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.smtpclient.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SmtpClient&lt;/strong&gt; class&lt;/a&gt; allows applications to send e-mail by using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) where as &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail.mailmessage.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MailMessage&lt;/strong&gt; class&lt;/a&gt; represents an e-mail message that can be sent using the SmtpClient class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please note that &lt;strong&gt;System.Web.Mail&lt;/strong&gt; namespace should not be used any more as most of the functionalist in this namespace are now &lt;strong&gt;obsolete&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are few code snippets to send email in C# using SMTP:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Official web site for Mocha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;address&gt;&lt;strong&gt;simple, flexible, fun&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2c2c2c;&quot;&gt;Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: #8a6343;&quot; href=&quot;http://nodejs.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;node.js&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2c2c2c;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2c2c2c;&quot;&gt; and the browser, making&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignright wp-image-16058&quot; src=&quot;assets/Mocha-thumb.png&quot; alt=&quot;Mocha Thumbnail&quot; width=&quot;80&quot; height=&quot;55&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2c2c2c;&quot;&gt;asynchronous testing simple and fun.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;A test driven development TDD cycle simplifies the thought process of writing code, makes it easier, and quicker in the long run. But just writing tests is not enough by itself, knowing the kinds of tests to write and how to structure code to conform to this pattern is what it&amp;amp;#39;s all about. This article takes a look at building a small app in Node.js following a TDD pattern.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don’t waste time writing tests for throwaway scripts, but please adapt the habit of Test-Driven Development for the main code base. With a little time spent in the beginning, you and your team will save time later and have confidence when rolling out new releases. Test Driven Development is a really really really good thing.&lt;/p&gt;

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Since last few days I am trying my hands with NodeJS. I came across very nice article &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://clock.co.uk/blog/a-simple-website-in-nodejs-with-express-jade-and-stylus&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;A SIMPLE WEBSITE IN NODE.JS WITH EXPRESS, JADE AND STYLUS&lt;/a&gt;&quot; by Ben Gourley. Really simple and easy startup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;https://twitter.com/pbdesk/status/496729892328071170&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taking this article as base, I implemented same using #NTVS (Node.js Tools for Visual Studio) using #VS2013. &lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Modified code to use latest versions of dependencies for express, jade &amp;amp; stylus. Like with Express 4.0, all middleware (except static) have been removed and will need to be called separately, &#39;logger&#39; needs to be exchanged with &#39;morgan&#39;. Here is nice post on &lt;a href=&quot;http://scotch.io/bar-talk/expressjs-4-0-new-features-and-upgrading-from-3-0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ExpressJS 4.0: New Features and Upgrading from 3.0&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Source Code&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[stextbox id=&quot;black&quot;]Entire running source code with Visual Studio solution &amp;amp; project files can found at &lt;a title=&quot;NodeJS-Simple-WebSite Branch:clock&quot; href=&quot;https://github.com/pbdesk/NodeJS-Simple-WebSite/tree/clock&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;[/stextbox]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;https://github.com/pbdesk/NodeJS-Simple-WebSite/tree/clock&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are code snippets for main files, all other files in public and views folder remain same as mention in above blog post.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Welcome to Jekyll!</title>

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ll find this post in your &lt;code&gt;_posts&lt;/code&gt; directory - edit this post and re-build
(or run with the &lt;code&gt;-w&lt;/code&gt; switch) to see your changes! To add new posts, simply add
a file in the &lt;code&gt;_posts&lt;/code&gt; directory that follows the convention:
YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;!--more--&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ve also added a lot of different settings for &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet&quot;&gt;Redcarpet&lt;/a&gt;,
including being able to &lt;sup&gt;superscript,&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;u&gt;underline&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;mark&gt;highlight&lt;/mark&gt;,
&lt;del&gt;strikethrough&lt;/del&gt;, and footnotes.&lt;sup id=&quot;fnref1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#fn1&quot; rel=&quot;footnote&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; It even automatically makes links into
URLs: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jekyllrb.com&quot;&gt;www.jekyllrb.com&lt;/a&gt; and you can put multiple underscores in words without
them leaning all over the place: this_word_has_underscores. It&amp;rsquo;ll also make your
quotes look nice, like this: &amp;ldquo;hoho&amp;rdquo;, your dashes and hypens will be dashing too:
&amp;mdash;/&amp;ndash;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&quot;language-ruby&quot; data-lang=&quot;ruby&quot;&gt;def print_hi(name)
  puts &amp;quot;Hi, #{name}&amp;quot;
end
print_hi(&amp;#39;Tom&amp;#39;)
#=&amp;gt; prints &amp;#39;Hi, Tom&amp;#39; to STDOUT.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Strange Case of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde&lt;/em&gt; tells the story of a lawyer
investigating the connection of two persons, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward
Hyde. Chief among the novel&amp;rsquo;s supporting cast is a man by the name of Mr. Poole,
Dr. Jekyll&amp;rsquo;s loyal butler.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poole is the butler for &lt;a href=&quot;http://jekyllrb.com&quot;&gt;Jekyll&lt;/a&gt;, the static site
generator. It&amp;rsquo;s designed and developed by &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/mdo&quot;&gt;@mdo&lt;/a&gt; to
provide a clear and concise foundational setup for any Jekyll site. It does so
by furnishing a full vanilla Jekyll install with example templates, pages,
posts, and styles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are currently two themes built on Poole:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://hyde.getpoole.com&quot;&gt;Hyde&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poole is a streamlined Jekyll site designed and built as a foundation for
building more meaningful themes. Poole, and every theme built on it, includes
the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete Jekyll setup included (layouts, config, &lt;a href=&quot;/404&quot;&gt;404&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;/atom.xml&quot;&gt;RSS

&lt;li&gt;Mobile friendly design and development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Easily scalable text and component sizing with &lt;code&gt;rem&lt;/code&gt; units in the CSS&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additional features are available in individual themes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poole and it&amp;rsquo;s themes are by preference a forward-thinking project. In addition

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;PBDesk.com&quot; href=&quot;http://www.PBDesk.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PBDesk.com&lt;/a&gt; - My Site, My Desk! Its now more then an year with same look, not sure of others ;) but i am bored of same looks. Thinking of re-writing the site!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;More then for looks, I&amp;nbsp;want to re-write so that I&amp;nbsp;can use latest in the market - ASP.Net MVC, WebAPI, Umbaco7, Twitter Bootstrap and of course AngularJS.&amp;nbsp;Yes the day I have started learning &amp;amp; using AngularJS - I am falling in love with it. Its &lt;a title=&quot;AngularJS – Really SuperHeroic JavaScipt&quot; href=&quot;/angularjs-really-superheroic-javascipt/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;really SuperHeroic Javascript&lt;/a&gt;. And this is the main force driving me to re-write my site. In a way, i want to master &lt;a title=&quot;AngularJS.org&quot; href=&quot;https://angularjs.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;AngularJS&lt;/a&gt;. Somebody rightly mentioned AngularJS as second best thing to happen to Javascript after jQuery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;clear&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;https://twitter.com/pbdesk/status/469149468420755456&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Also how can I forget &lt;a title=&quot;Umbraco.Com&quot; href=&quot;http://umbraco.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Umbraco &lt;/a&gt;- &lt;strong&gt;My Fav!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a title=&quot;ASP.Net Open Source CMS&quot; href=&quot;/asp-net-open-source-cms/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ASP.Net Open Source CMS.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;And now we have Umbraco 7 - with its backend re-written in AngularJS. Really good work by Umbraco team and great example on usage of AngularJS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Now that thought has born in my mind it won&#39;t stop till I see it live. Wishing my self best luck for new venture. Lots of work to do - first of all find good twitter bootstrap template for responsive design. And plan out over all architecture for my new dream.&lt;/p&gt;

   <content type="html">&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Updated on 30th Aug, 2014 - AngularJS 1.3.0-rc.0 is Out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The day Apple said it will not support plugins like Flash Player, Silverlight for its iOS based devices, new revolution&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&quot;attachment_16018&quot; align=&quot;alignleft&quot; width=&quot;283&quot;]&lt;img class=&quot;size-medium wp-image-16018&quot; src=&quot;assets/angularjs1_thumb-25255B6-25255D-283x300.png&quot; alt=&quot;AngularJS Logo&quot; width=&quot;283&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; /&gt; AngularJS Logo[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;started giving momentum to HTML5 and in turn JavaScript.  And JavaScript has evolved a lot in recent years. Hundreds of libraries and framework are now in market to work with it. Till I can remember, &lt;a href=&quot;http://jquery.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt; was the first which became popular for its simple DOM manipulation APIs and excellent cross browser support. Then started coming up lot of other javascript utilities covering various patterns of javascript usage.  One of them was data-binding and templating , leading  to SPAs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The first one I came across  was &lt;a href=&quot;http://knockoutjs.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;KnockoutJS&lt;/a&gt; – It was really simple and great in terms of getting MVC(or MVVM) pattern with HTML/Javascript, but some how I was not happy with its “ko.observable” code and started looking for alternates. And came across &lt;a href=&quot;http://angularjs.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;AngularJS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; – simply Awesome and really Super Heroic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;AngularJS By Google – In true sense Superheroic JavaScript MVW Framework. It just took me away. Now I am really in love with it. Though it has stiff learning curve, but in real sense it’s a Framework. The more I go deep into it the more and more I am becoming fan of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&quot;attachment_16017&quot; align=&quot;alignright&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;]&lt;img class=&quot;size-medium wp-image-16017&quot; src=&quot;assets/AngularJS_thumb-25255B8-25255D-300x78.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;AngularJS By Google Logo&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;78&quot; /&gt; AngularJS By Google Logo[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why AngularJS?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;HTML is great for declaring static documents, but it falters when we try to use it for declaring dynamic views in web-applications. AngularJS lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Other frameworks deal with HTML’s shortcomings by either abstracting away HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript or by providing an imperative way for manipulating the DOM. Neither of these address the root problem that HTML was not designed for dynamic views.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;AngularJS is a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application development. It is fully extensible and works well with other libraries. Every feature can be modified or replaced to suit your unique development workflow and feature needs. Read on to find out how.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Unlike other frameworks, there is no need to inherit from proprietary types; to wrap the model in accessors methods. Just plain old JavaScript here. This makes your code easy to test, maintain, reuse, and again free from boilerplate.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Javascript: Random Number between two integers</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/javascript-random-number-between-two-integers"/>
   <updated>2013-01-07T18:11:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/javascript-random-number-between-two-integers</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Javascript does has built-in function Math.random() to generate a random number, however the so generated random number is always a floating value between 0 and 1. This may be fine for some requirements but most likely you will end up with a requirement where you will need a random number between two integers. Many other programming languages do have utility for this but in case of Javascript we need to write our own simple  utility function. Below is the simple function which will generate a random number between two numbers ‘form’ and ‘to’:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre class=&quot;toolbar:1 lang:js decode:true&quot;&gt;function randomFromTo(from, to){
       return Math.floor(Math.random() * (to - from + 1) + from);
    }&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And if want to extended your Math Library with this new functionality here is your prototype extension code:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre class=&quot;toolbar:1 lang:js decode:true&quot;&gt;if(!Math.prototype.randomFromTo){
       Math.prototype.randomFromTo = function(from, to){
           return Math.floor(Math.random() * (to - from + 1) + from);
      };
}&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this piece of code we can call the method from the Math Object like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Math.randomFromTo(5,25)&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Some of you may be curious as to why Math.floor(), instead of Math.round(), is used in the above code. While both successfully round off its containing parameter to an integer within the designated range, Math.floor does so more &quot;evenly&quot;, so the resulting integer isn&#39;t lopsided towards either end of the number spectrum. In other words, a more random number is returned using Math.floor().&lt;/p&gt;

   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/microsoft/net-4-5-vs2012-windows-8-released</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;WOW….. Looks like a release season a Microsoft. Many new products and technologies getting released in this month and and in near future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/dotnet_thumb-25255B9-25255D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;background-image: none; margin: 0px 56px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;dotnet&quot; src=&quot;assets/dotnet_thumb-25255B9-25255D.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;dotnet&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visual Studio 2012&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;.Net Framework 4.5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.Net 4.5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.Net MVC 4&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.Net WebPages 2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.Net WebAPI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Entity Framework 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And last but not least&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 with whole new realm of  Win RT &amp;amp; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: line-through;&quot;&gt;Metro&lt;/span&gt; Apps. ( Sorry “Metro” is not the official word now)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And don’t forget the upcoming&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows Phone 8  in Sept,2012&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Microsoft Surface in Oct, 2012&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;“wow”, friends do you remember this word “wow” – Microsoft used this word at its highest pitch during its release of Windows Vista! (if I am not forgetting it was in 2007), but this “wow” turned out to be a great fiasco. Yes Vista! was really disappointing but then Windows 7 was really nice to patch it up. Last year in 2011 Build event, when I saw Windows 8 and so called its “Metro UI”, once again I could only say “wow” once again. But this time this “wow” seems to be more promising with its new realm of WinRT  &amp;amp; Metro Apps. Hope it rocks!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;All the best to myself fore new learning endeavor for metro app development for Windows 8.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/sqlite370_thumb-25255B12-25255D.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;sqlite370&quot; src=&quot;assets/sqlite370_thumb-25255B12-25255D.gif&quot; alt=&quot;sqlite370&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; height=&quot;135&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;“SQLite &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sqlite.org/releaselog/3_7_13.html&quot;&gt;version 3.7.13&lt;/a&gt; adds support for WinRT and metro style applications for Microsoft Windows 8. The 3.7.13 release is coming sooner than is usual after the previous release in order to get this new capability into the hands of developers. To use SQLite in a metro style application, compile with the -DSQLITE_OS_WINRT flag. Because of the increased application security and safety requirements of WinRT, all database filenames should be full pathnames. Note that SQLite is not capable of accessing databases outside the installation directory and application data directory. This restriction is another security and safety feature of WinRT. Apart from these restrictions, SQLite should work exactly the same on WinRT as it does on every other system. “&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Route Constraints With ASP.Net MVC & WebAPI</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/route-constraints-with-asp-net-mvc-webapi"/>
   <updated>2012-07-17T09:08:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/route-constraints-with-asp-net-mvc-webapi</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ASP.Net MVC&lt;/strong&gt; has a powerful &lt;strong&gt;Routing&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Engine&lt;/strong&gt; that allows mapping between URL Routes and Controller Actions. Below are few links regarding how you can control how browser requests match routes by creating route constraints. You use route constraints to restrict the browser requests that match a particular route.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Creating a Route Constraint @ www.ASP.Net/MVC
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/controllers-and-routing/creating-a-route-constraint-cs&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/controllers-and-routing/creating-a-route-constraint-cs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Routing in ASP.NET Web API @ www.ASP.Net/web-api

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.Net MVC Route Constraints @ Guy Burstein&#39;s Blog

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;jQuery Succinctly&lt;/i&gt; was written to express, in short-order, the concepts essential to intermediate and advanced jQuery development. Its purpose is to instill in you, the reader, practices that jQuery developers take as common knowledge. Each chapter contains concepts essential to becoming a seasoned jQuery developer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; This book is intended for two types of readers. The first is someone who has read introductory material on jQuery and is looking for the next logical step. The second type of reader is a JavaScript developer, already versed in another library, now trying to quickly learn jQuery. I crafted this book to be used as my own personal reference point for jQuery concepts. This is exactly the type of book I wish every JavaScript library had available.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;This book is about writing Metro style apps for Windows 8 using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Our primary focus will be on applying these web technologies within the Windows 8 platform, where there are unique considerations, and not on exploring the details of those web technologies themselves. For the most part, then, I&#39;m assuming that you&#39;re already at least somewhat conversant with these standards. We will cover some of the more salient areas like the CSS grid, which is central to app layout, but otherwise I trust that you&#39;re capable of finding appropriate references for everything else.&lt;/div&gt;

   <title>C# Extension Methods – I Love Them!!!!</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/c-extension-methods-i-love-them"/>
   <updated>2012-02-10T12:08:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/c-extension-methods-i-love-them</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Extension Methods - Yet another cool feature brought into .Net realm with C# 3 and VB.Net 9. Extension methods allow you to &amp;quot;add&amp;quot; methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. In a way it allows you to extend an existing type with new functionality, without having to sub-class or recompile the old type. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;The Need:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While programming, many time situations arise where it is necessary to add functionality to an existing class—for instance by adding a new method. Normally we can do this by modifying the existing class&#39;s source code, but this forces to recompile all binaries with these new changes and more important, requires that the programmer have access to the source code, which is not always possible, for example when using classes from a third-party assembly or out-of-box .Net base class libraries. This can be typically worked around in one of following ways:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt; Inherit the class and then implement the functionality in an instance method in the derived class. [What if that class is sealed or final, restricting inheritance]&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Implement the functionality in a static method added to a helper class. [Less intuitive - as it requires a reference to a separate class instead of using the methods of the class in question directly.]&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Use aggregation instead of inheritance.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Extension Methods - An Handy rescue &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Extension Methods allows you to extend an existing type with new functionality, without having to sub-class or recompile the old type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;For instance, you might like to know whether a certain string was a number or not (IsNumeric functionality). The usual approach would be to define a static function and then call it each time passing corresponding string as input. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;MyUtils.IsNumeric(inputString)&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But now with concept of &lt;strong&gt;extension methods&lt;/strong&gt; - you can actually extend the String class to support this directly. And your call would look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;inputString.IsNumeric()&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You do it by defining a static class, with a static method in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; MyExtensionMethods&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;{&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;    &lt;span&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;bool&lt;/span&gt; IsNumeric(&lt;span&gt;this&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;string&lt;/span&gt; s)&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;    {&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;        &lt;span&gt;float&lt;/span&gt; output;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;        &lt;span&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;float&lt;/span&gt;.TryParse(s, &lt;span&gt;out&lt;/span&gt; output);&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;    }&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;}&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Note the first parameter preceded by the &lt;strong&gt;&#39;this&#39;&lt;/strong&gt; modifier, it specifies which type the method operates on or rather which type or class it is extending. The only thing that separates this from any other static method, is the &amp;quot;this&amp;quot; keyword in the parameter section of the method. It tells the compiler that this is an extension method for that particular type. And that&#39;s actually all you need to create an extension method. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you can call the IsNumeric() method directly on strings, like this: someString.IsNumeric()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The most common extension methods are the LINQ standard query operators that add query functionality to the existing &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.ienumerable.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;System.Collections.IEnumerable&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9eekhta0.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of T)&lt;/a&gt; types.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;To defining and call the extension method&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Define a static class to contain the extension method.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The class must be visible to client code. Extension methods are only in scope when you explicitly import the namespace into your source code with a using directive. For more information about accessibility rules, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173121.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Access Modifiers (C# Programming Guide)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Implement the extension method as a static method with at least the same visibility as the containing class.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The first parameter of the method specifies the type that the method operates on; it must be preceded with the this modifier.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In the calling code, add a using directive to specify the namespace that contains the extension method class.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Call the methods as if they were instance methods on the type.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that the first parameter is not specified by calling code because it represents the type on which the operator is being applied, and the compiler already knows the type of your object. You only have to provide arguments for parameters 2 through n.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Naming Conflicts in Extension methods and Instance methods:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; In C# 3.0, both an instance method and an extension method with the same signature can exist for a class. In such a scenario, &lt;u&gt;the instance method takes precedence over the extension method&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Note that neither the compiler nor the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE warns about the naming conflict. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A good extension method should:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply to any possible instance of the type it extends.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Simplify logic and improve readability/maintainability.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply to the most specific type or interface applicable.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be isolated in a namespace so that it does not pollute IntelliSense.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

   <title>Razor support in Umbraco 4.7</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/cms/razor-support-in-umbraco-4-7"/>
   <updated>2011-03-07T11:49:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/cms/razor-support-in-umbraco-4-7</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;With Umbraco 4.6.1 in Jan,2011, they brought in one of the great feature to Umbraco CMS - &lt;strong&gt;Razor&lt;/strong&gt;. And with Umbraco 4.7 in March, 2011 they have matured the made it more usable, reliable and stable. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Razor is the view engine introduced by Microsoft team with ASP.Net MVC 3.0. It is optimized around HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach. And now Umbraco 4.7 provides excellent support for writing Razor scripts to create macros in umbraco. For those guys, including me, who dislike XSLTs, this is a great alternate for them.&amp;#160; Now we can write the logic in C# or VB rather then in XSLT. Thanks Umbraco Team!!!. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In one of my pervious &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/01/razor-support-in-umbraco.html&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;, I mentioned about using Razor scripts in Umbraco 4.6.1. You can consider this as an extension to that. In this post I have tried to describe what has changed from 4.6.1 to 4.7 and how to use Razors in Umbraco 4.7. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Upgrading from 4.6.1 to 4.7&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Please note that 4.7 requires .Net Frameowork 4.0)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy following folders from 4.7RC download: /bin, /umbraco and /umbraco_client. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take care of web.config changes: Mainly there are 4 changes and they&#39;re clearly marked in the web.config in 4.7 as &amp;lt;!-- Added in Umbraco 4.6.2 –&amp;gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Delete following .dll files from old installation under /bin folder      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;IronPython.dll          &lt;br /&gt;IronPython.Modules.dll           &lt;br /&gt;IronRuby.dll           &lt;br /&gt;IronRuby.Libraries.dll           &lt;br /&gt;IronRuby.Libraries.Yaml.dll           &lt;br /&gt;Microsoft.Dynamic.dll           &lt;br /&gt;Microsoft.Scripting.dll           &lt;br /&gt;Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging.dll           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Also delete following files if they exist. (in case if you have 4.7 beta)       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;RazorEngine.Core.dll          &lt;br /&gt;RazorEngine.Templates.dll           &lt;br /&gt;umbraco.MacroEngines.Legacy.dll           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In 4.6.1, by default Razor scripts were saved in ~/python folder, where as in 4.7 default folder has changed to &lt;strong&gt;~/macroScripts&lt;/strong&gt;. So if you have any .razor files under ~/python, you need to &lt;u&gt;move them to ~/macroScripts folder.&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For general upgrade information follow the guide found at &lt;a href=&quot;http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/upgrading-an-umbraco-installation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/upgrading-an-umbraco-installation&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;And here is one important thread from Umbraco Installation Forum which might be helpful: &lt;a href=&quot;http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/17890-XSLT-macros-not-getting-rendered-after-upgrading-to-47-RC&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/17890-XSLT-macros-not-getting-rendered-after-upgrading-to-47-RC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Changes in Umbraco 4.7 &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As mentioned above, now with 4.7 all razor scripts are to be saved in &lt;strong&gt;~/macroScripts&lt;/strong&gt; folder. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now the new razor script files will have extension of .cshtml or .vbhtml. In 4.6.1 razor script files were having .razor extension and only C# was supported. &lt;u&gt;Old .razor files will still work in 4.7&lt;/u&gt; as far as they are in ~/macroScripts. But now new script files created will have extension .cshtml (for C#) and .vbhtml (for VB) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you cannot use single-statement in control-flow statements without&amp;#160; {} block. ie. Any thing under control flow statements like if, for, while, foreach need to be in between&amp;#160;&amp;#160; {}&amp;#160; block.&amp;#160; For example, the following &lt;u&gt;is not&lt;/u&gt; allowed: &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;New Features in Umbraco 4.7 &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;One of the Major new feature in 4.7 is support for Macro Parameters in razor scripts. Yes now razor script can read parameters passed by macros using &lt;strong&gt;@Parameter.nameOfParameter&lt;/strong&gt; syntax. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;For proper randering, document type properties with html contents in them needs to be wrapped in Html.Raw() ie. @Html.Raw(Model.bodyText). Leaving this wrapper off will cause HTML to be encoded and render to the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;IronPython and IronRuby is now not a part of the distribution and needs to be installed by unzipping the contents of the separate macroengine download. So if you are not using these Iron* scripts, you can remove ~/python folder.&lt;br /&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;For technical changes (Programmers perspective) please refer to the serise of blogs at umbraco.com: &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

   <title>Re-Usable jQuery Accordion for Umbraco</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/elearning/re-usable-jquery-accordion-for-umbraco"/>
   <updated>2011-02-03T14:05:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/elearning/re-usable-jquery-accordion-for-umbraco</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As a part of my umbraco based website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.PBDesk.com&lt;/a&gt;, I was developing learning interactions components which can be re-used in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/elearning.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;eLearning&lt;/a&gt; section of the website. Accordion &amp;amp; Tabs are good examples of UI components which can be used as learning interactions. I was already implementing jQuery &amp;amp; jQuery UI in my site, so thought why not get these functionalities form jQuery? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Did some research and found one very interesting and helpful package for Umbraco, which can help me build my Accordion and Tab controls very easily. This package is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/repeatable-custom-content&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Repeatable Custom Content&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;a href=&quot;http://our.umbraco.org/member/5260&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Masood Afzal&lt;/a&gt;. This package provides a datatype which allows adding repeatable custom contents/child nodes. That&#39;s what we need to Accordion &amp;amp; Tabs. Thanks to Masood Afzal!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Live Demo at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/elearning/csharp/test-chapter/accordiontest.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Now lets start on how to create&amp;#160; Accordion for Umbraco site using jQuery UI and Repeatable Custom Content package. My work was based on Umbraco 4.5.2 and 4.6.1, jQuery 1.5, jQuery UI 1.8.9, Repeatable Custom Content package V2 (dated 10/7/2009) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;First of all, you need to add proper reference to jQuery, jQuery UI &amp;amp; jQuery UI Theme files(.js and .css). Then I installed Repeatable Custom Content package V2. Once all this is in place we need to create new Datatype under umbraco Developer section.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Datatype : eLO Accordion&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In my case I have given &amp;quot;eLO Accordion&amp;quot; as the name to the data type as it was one of my eLearning Object. Its just a name, you can give whatever is suitable to you.&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/umbraco1_thumb-5B4-5D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;umbraco1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;umbraco1&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;assets/umbraco1_thumb-5B4-5D.jpg&quot; width=&quot;206&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Go to Umbraco backend, Developer section, Data Types. Right click on &amp;quot;Data Types&amp;quot; and select &amp;quot;create&amp;quot;.&amp;#160; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In the create dialog box, give appropriate name and click &amp;quot;create&amp;quot; button.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In the &amp;quot;Render control&amp;quot; dropdown list select &amp;quot;Repeatable Custom Content V2&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now in the settings section we need to add two properties&amp;#160; &lt;em&gt;eLOAccordionHeader&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;em&gt;eLOAccordionContent&lt;/em&gt;. (Again decide names at your ease). These properties will represent the text for the header and the body of the individual accordion.         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eLOAccordionHeader: Type - Simple Editor            &lt;br /&gt;eLOAccordionContent: Type - Repeatable Custom Content             &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Richtext&amp;#160; Editor             &lt;br /&gt;Set Max repeatable items to 0             &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;umbraco2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;umbraco2&quot; src=&quot;assets/umbraco2-5B7-5D-300x239.jpg&quot; width=&quot;526&quot; height=&quot;419&quot; /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Save the data type. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Document Type Property&amp;#160; &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now to use this data type, we need to create appropriate property in the &amp;quot;document types&amp;quot; under &amp;quot;settings&amp;quot; section of Umbraco backend.    &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/umbraco3_thumb-5B3-5D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;umbraco3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;umbraco3&quot; src=&quot;assets/umbraco3_thumb-5B3-5D-300x181.jpg&quot; width=&quot;410&quot; height=&quot;249&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Make sure about the &amp;quot;Type&amp;quot;. It should be set to the new data type that we just created above. And also this should be available in the dropdown list.    &lt;br /&gt;In my case, property alias for this property is &amp;quot;eLOAccordion&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;XSLT to Render Accordion&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Now is the time to create XSLT file and a macro associated with it to render the Accordion. Below is the sample code snippet based on the naming convensions used by my code. [Please visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://umbraco.masoodafzal.com/&quot;&gt;http://umbraco.masoodafzal.com&lt;/a&gt; for more on xslt for Repeatable Custom Content]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can download the complete XSLT file from here. &lt;a href=&quot;http://pbdeskcdn.appspot.com%5Cdownloads%5Cumbraco%5Cxslts%5Caccordionviewer.xslt/&quot;&gt;AccordionViewer.xslt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Once your xslt is ready, if not automatically created, you need to create a Macro and associate it with this xslt file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Now insert this macro into the template or the content wherever you need an accordion. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;On the content page wherever you have a property of Accordion type, you will get interface like below to enter the contents:&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/umbraco4_thumb-5B2-5D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;umbraco4&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;umbraco4&quot; src=&quot;assets/umbraco4_thumb-5B2-5D-300x231.jpg&quot; width=&quot;536&quot; height=&quot;414&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can see the live demo for the Accordion created by this way at &lt;a title=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/elearning/csharp/test-chapter/accordiontest.aspx&quot; href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/elearning/csharp/test-chapter/accordiontest.aspx&quot;&gt;http://www.pbdesk.com/elearning/csharp/test-chapter/accordiontest.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Razor support in Umbraco</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/cms/razor-support-in-umbraco"/>
   <updated>2011-01-25T12:51:00-05:00</updated>

   <content type="html">&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Important Note!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post was written for Umbraco 4.6.1. Now new version 4.7 is available and there are certain notable changes in terms of Razor in Umbraco 4.7. Please refer to my another post “&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/03/razor-support-in-umbraco-47.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Razor support in Umbraco 4.7&lt;/a&gt;” for changes and new features in Umbraco 4.7 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;On Jan 12, 2011, Umbraco team released new version 4.6.1 for Umbraco CMS engine and one of the great feature they added was the support for Razor syntax.&amp;#160; Yes, Umbraco now supports Razor syntax. And for those guys, including me, who dislike XSLTs, this is a great alternate for them.&amp;#160; Now we can write the logic in C# rather then in XSLT. Thanks Umbraco Team!!!. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Razor is tbe view engine introduced by Microsoft team with ASP.Net MVC 3.0. It is optimized around HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach. To know more about Razor, following links may be useful: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/02/introducing-razor.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ScottGu&#39;s Blog Post: Introducing “Razor” – a new view engine for ASP.NET&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/tutorials/2-introduction-to-asp-net-web-programming-using-the-razor-syntax&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Introduction to ASP.NET Web Programming Using the Razor Syntax&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;With Umbraco 4.6, developers can use Razor syntax in Umbraco components. So now Umbraco CMS engine allows &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Razor scripts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to be used in the same way we have been using Iron* languages, XSLT or .NET controls... as a macro. This means that you can use Razor just as you would any other language option. In short, now we can write razor scripts and associate them with Macros. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Creating Razor scripts in Umbraco &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These script files will have extension &amp;quot;.razor&amp;quot; and by default will live in /python folder besides Iron* files. Razor scripts can be created just like you create any other DLR script file in the Umbraco back office. &lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;Razor1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Razor1&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;assets/Razor1-5B7-5D.jpg&quot; width=&quot;244&quot; height=&quot;203&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &amp;quot;Developers&amp;quot; section &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Right click at &amp;quot;Scripting Files&amp;quot;, select &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Create dialog box, select language as &amp;quot;Razor by Razor Engine&amp;quot; from the dropdown.      &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Razor2_thumb-5B4-5D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;Razor2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Razor2&quot; src=&quot;assets/Razor2_thumb-5B4-5D-300x272.jpg&quot; width=&quot;376&quot; height=&quot;342&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fill in other fields appropriately and click &amp;quot;Create&amp;quot;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; button &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This will bring up the editor for script. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Model object&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just like Iron* scripts, Razor scripts also have a &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Model&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; object available in them which is equivelent to the &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;currentPage&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot; parameter available in XSLT. Its of the type umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode and can be used in the script to access currentPage node and data associated with it. &lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Umbraco Razor Syntax for Breadcrumb</title>

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Recently Umbraco team released new version 4.6.1 for Umbraco CMS engine and one of the great feature they added was the support for Razor syntax.&amp;#160; Yes, Umbraco now supports Razor syntax. And for those guys, including me, who dislike XSLTs, this is a great alternate for them.&amp;#160; Now we can write the logic in C# rather then in XSLT. Thanks Umbraco Team!!!.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the code snipped for generating Breadcrumb from current page to Home page with node level=1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom: #cecece 1px solid; border-left: #cecece 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; padding-left: 5px; width: 550px; padding-right: 5px; overflow: auto; border-top: #cecece 1px solid; border-right: #cecece 1px solid; padding-top: 5px&quot;&gt;&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;@using System

   <title>Canonical Url For Umbraco Using Razor Syntax</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-url-for-umbraco-using-razor-syntax"/>
   <updated>2011-01-19T14:48:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-url-for-umbraco-using-razor-syntax</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Sometime back I wrote post about &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/01/canonical-url.html&quot;&gt;Canonical Urls&lt;/a&gt;. Indeed Canonical URLs is one of the important chapter of SEO and a way to avoid getting page rank getting distributed among different Url formats with same targets. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Along with Canoncial Urls I also wrote about &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/01/canonical-urls-for-umbraco.html&quot;&gt;implementing them in Umbraco site&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; In that post I used XSLT approach of Umbraco to generate Canoncial url for the pages. Recently Umbraco team released new version 4.6.1 for Umbraco CMS engine and one of the great feature they added was the support for Razor syntax.&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;Yes, Umbraco now supports Razor syntax&lt;/strong&gt;. And for those guys, including me, who dislike XSLTs, this is a great alternate for them.&amp;#160; Now we can write the logic in C# rather then in XSLT. &lt;em&gt;Thanks Umbraco Team!!!. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a piece of code for generating canonical url for Umbraco based site using Razor syntax. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom: #cecece 1px solid; border-left: #cecece 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; padding-left: 5px; width: 550px; padding-right: 5px; overflow: auto; border-top: #cecece 1px solid; border-right: #cecece 1px solid; padding-top: 5px&quot;&gt;&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;@using umbraco
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;@using System
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;@{ &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;var&lt;/span&gt; cononicalUrl= &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;.Empty; }
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;@&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;if&lt;/span&gt;(umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;HTTP_HOST&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;).ToLower().StartsWith(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;www&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;))
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;	cononicalUrl = string.Concat(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;http://&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;,   umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;HTTP_HOST&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;), Model.Url);
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;else&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;	cononicalUrl = string.Concat(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;http://www.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;,   umbraco.library.RequestServerVariables(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;HTTP_HOST&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;), Model.Url);
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;link rel=&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;canonical&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;@cononicalUrl&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See how easy and simple it looks compared to XSLT one at {&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/01/canonical-urls-for-umbraco.html&quot;&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;}&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>ASP.Net Open Source CMS</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/asp.net/cms/asp-net-open-source-cms"/>
   <updated>2011-01-18T14:27:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/asp.net/cms/asp-net-open-source-cms</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;h3 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Umbraco Rocks!!!&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Since long I was thinking of writhing this post. I have been blogging since 2007 at &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blog.PBDesk.com&lt;/a&gt; powered by Google Blogger. But blogs have there own limitations, I was looking for my own full website wherein I can do whatever I want.&amp;#160; Being a .Net developer, initially i started writing whole website from scratch using ASP.Net, but that was taking up big deal of time. Lot of things to do - creating UI, business, framework, data access components and many more things.... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;So then I started looking for some open source CMS frameworks, which I can use as base for my website and build all my imaginations over it. In this way I can get some basic functionalities (basic framework and data access components) ready available. when I googled for &amp;quot;Opensource CMS&amp;quot;, i found many of them in the ocean. Shortlisted few of them based on their popularity: Joomla, Drupal, DotNetNuke, MojoPortal, Kooboo, Umbraco, N2CMS, Moodle, Kentico. (&lt;em&gt;Has anybody ever wondered why open source CMS systems have typical fuzzy names like this&lt;/em&gt;?) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Joomla &amp;amp; Drupal are really excellent and very powerful CMS systems build on PHP platform. I did installed both of them to have my hands-off with them. They were much easy to use. Community support was also great. But when time come to customize some component or write new component ... I failed... I am not a PHP guy. Though PHP is easy, but still it had a learning curve for me. Being a .Net developer and architect I was looking for something under .Net umbrella. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Before I proceed with CMS build on ASP.Net, i would like to talk about Moodle - Excellent Learning &amp;amp; Content Management System (LCMS). But again its build on PHP.&amp;#160; Moodle is the perfect LCMS i was looking for my dream website. Sill some corner of my heart is soft for Moodle and thinking to build an LCMS on it in future. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Finally, being a .Net guy, I was looking for a CMS system build on ASP.Net so that I can leverage all my knowledge of .Net. DotNetNuke, MojoPortal, Kooboo, Umbraco are some of the great CMS build on ASP.Net. Below are the few links you can use to compare and contrast these CMSs. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comparative list of CMSs&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.kooboo.com/yaf_postst243_NET-CMS-Review-Kooboo-Umbraco-and-MojoPortal.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;.NET CMS Review: Kooboo, Umbraco, and MojoPortal&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://csharp-source.net/open-source/content-managment-systems&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) in C#&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cmsmatrix.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Compare Content Management Systems&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://webmasterformat.com/blog/top-asp-net-cmss&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;A Quick Review of the 7 ASP.NET CMS&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;After researching a lot, I finally decided to use &lt;strong&gt;Umbraco&lt;/strong&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.umbraco.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;] for my website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.PBDesk.com&lt;/a&gt;. Though it involved a steep learning curve, i was impressed by its flexibility. Easy to create and add any components in .Net. This was the best thing I liked with Umbraco, I can create pages(.aspx) and user controls (.ascx) in ASP.Net/Visual Studio and integrate them with umbraco site easily. XSLT based macros and support for Razor syntax are excellent features of Umbraco. They claim about more them 85000 installations of Umbraco, including the very official website for ASP.Net (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asp.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.asp.net&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Currently I am building my website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbdesk.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.PBDesk.com&lt;/a&gt; using Umbraco 4.6.1 for .Net 4.0 &amp;amp; SQL Server 2008 database. This way&amp;#160; I got a basic framework for my website as well as if required I can develop any components in .Net and integrate them easily. Umbraco was able to satisfy a &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;developer&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; within me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I took lot of time to decide the base CMS for my website, almost 9 to 10 months. During this time I installed and reviewed following CMS: MojoPortal, Joomla, Drupal, Moodle, Kooboo, Umbraco. All are great with their own pros and cons. My fishbone diagram made me decide upon for &amp;quot;Umbraco&amp;quot;.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; I am happy now and I have already build few pages for my website www.PBDesk.com. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Umbraco Rocks!!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Canonical URLs for Umbraco</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-urls-for-umbraco"/>
   <updated>2011-01-03T17:50:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-urls-for-umbraco</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;In my previous post, i have discussed about &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/2011/01/canonical-url.html&quot;&gt;Canonical URLs&lt;/a&gt; and its importance in SEO. In this post we will see how to implement Canonical Urls in an Umbraco based site using XSLT Macro. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Umbraco sites have multiple ways of accessing content - either by friendly URL or by direct URL. In such cases to have a proper SEO page ranking, we need to implement Canonical URLs. To achive this in Umbraco based site, we can create an XSLT macro and insert that macro into the &amp;lt;Head&amp;gt; secton while creating templates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;CanonicalUrls.xslt&lt;/h2&gt;

   <title>Canonical URL</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-url"/>
   <updated>2011-01-03T17:29:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/seo/canonical-url</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;URL Canonicalization (also refered as URL Normalization) is the process of picking the best url when there are several choices.&amp;#160; It is a process to determine if two syntactically different URLs are equivalent. It is one the important chapter in SEO. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a layman following urls are same&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;www.example.com &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;example.com/ &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;www.example.com/index.html &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though they may be rendering same contents, technically all of these urls are different. From a search engine perspective, this can cause a bit of an issue.&amp;#160; It is not always possible (or easy) to control how a search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing indexes your site, so you never know what version of the URL they have indexed. In some cases both URLs have been indexed resulting in the Page rank being split between the two URLs. The easiest way to avoid this is to let the Search engines and the users know which is your “preferred URL” a.k.a canonical URL. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Canonical URL help out the search bots which version of the URL you prefer. And this can he achived by addming &amp;lt;link rel=&amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot;&amp;gt; tag into the &amp;lt;head&amp;gt; section of the Html with appropriate value for &amp;quot;href&amp;quot; attribute. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, if all the above three URLs refer to the same /index.html, we can use following &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: silver 1px solid; text-align: left; border-left: silver 1px solid; padding-bottom: 4px; line-height: 12pt; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-left: 4px; width: 97.5%; padding-right: 4px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; max-height: 200px; font-size: 8pt; overflow: auto; border-top: silver 1px solid; cursor: text; border-right: silver 1px solid; padding-top: 4px&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000&quot;&gt;link&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;rel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;=&amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;href&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;=&amp;quot;http://www.example.com/&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;/&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this page ranking for all the three urls will be added to one single url &amp;quot;http://www.example.com/&amp;quot;. In short using &amp;lt;link rel=&amp;quot;canonical&amp;quot;&amp;gt; tag we tell search engine, which url to be used for indexing purpose. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now a days, most of all search giants (including Google &amp;amp; Bing) support canonical tags.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Free CDN Service – That too from Google!</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/google/free-cdn-service-that-too-from-google"/>
   <updated>2010-12-22T18:22:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/google/free-cdn-service-that-too-from-google</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;CDN - Content Delivery Network or Content Distribution Network &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What is CDN?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As defined at &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a system of computers containing copies of data, placed at various points in a network so as to maximize bandwidth for access to the data from clients throughout the network. A client accesses a copy of the data near to the client, as opposed to all clients accessing the same central server, so as to avoid bottlenecks near that server.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Content types include web objects, downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications, real time media streams, and other components of internet delivery (DNS, routes, and database queries). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As defined at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/CDN.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;webopedia&lt;/a&gt;:    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Short for content delivery network, a network of servers that delivers a Web page to a user based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the Web page and a content delivery server. A CDN copies the pages of a Web site to a network of servers that are dispersed at geographically different locations, caching the contents of the page. When a user requests a Web page that is part of a CDN, the CDN will redirect the request from the originating site&#39;s server to a server in the CDN that is closest to the user and deliver the cached content. The CDN will also communicate with the originating server to deliver any content that has not been previously cached.    &lt;br /&gt;This service is effective in speeding the delivery of content of Web sites with high traffic and Web sites that have global reach. The closer the CDN server is to the user geographically, the faster the content will be delivered to the user. CDNs also provide protection from large surges in traffic.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Using CDN hosted jQuery Library</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/google/javascript/microsoft/using-cdn-hosted-jquery-library"/>
   <updated>2010-12-07T15:00:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/google/javascript/microsoft/using-cdn-hosted-jquery-library</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Very often, to use jQuery, jQueryUI and Themes we need to add reference(&amp;lt;script&amp;gt; tag) to these javascript libraries in our HTML and normally we host these .js files along with our other web files. But now Microsoft and Google have hosted various versions of these javascript libraries on their CDN servers. So we can easily access them and use them in our sites. In short now we don&#39;t need to host these .js files on our servers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Using scripts from Microsoft&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;jQuery, jQueryUI files(including themes) are hosted at Microsoft Ajax Content Delivery Network(ajax.aspnetcdn.com) . Microsoft Ajax CDN includes jQuery ,jQuery UI, jQuery Validation, jQuery Cycle, Ajax Control Toolkit, ASP.NET Ajax, ASP.NET MVC JavaScript Files. For detail list of files available and versions supported please visit this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/cdn.ashx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For usage details &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2010/12/using-jquery-scripts-hosted-microsoft.html&quot;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Using Scripts from Google&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google hosts following popular, open-source JavaScript libraries at its API&#39;s library (ajax.googleapis.com): Chrome Frame, Dojo, Ext Core, jQuery, jQuery UI, MooTools, Prototype, script.aculo.us,SWFObject, Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI),WebFont Loader. For more details visit this &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can access there libraries directly via url, you don&#39;t need API key if you are not using Google Libraries&#39;s APIs.    &lt;br /&gt;For usage details &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2010/12/using-jquery-scripts-hosted-google.html&quot;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Why use library hosted at Microsoft or Google?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are several advantages of using hosted jQuery&amp;#160; on Microsoft or Google over your servers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Decreased Latency&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a content is hosted on a CDN (CDN — Content Delivery Network — distributes your static content across servers in various, diverse physical locations). and when a user’s browser resolves the URL for these contents, their download will automatically target the closest available server in the network. What this means is that any users not physically near your server will be able to download jQuery faster than if you force them to download it from your arbitrarily located server. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Increased parallelism&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;To avoid overloading on servers, browsers limit the number of connections that can be made simultaneously. For some browsers, this limit is as low as two connections per hostname. Using the CDN hosted Libraries, eliminates one request to your site, allowing more of your local content to downloaded in parallel. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Better caching&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Greatest benefit of using the CDN hosted Libraries is that your users may not need to download jQuery at all. Even if you have your own caching,&amp;#160; if you’re hosting jQuery locally then your users must download it at least once. A user may very well have dozens of identical copies of jQuery-1.3.2.min.js in their browser’s cache, but those duplicate files will be ignored when they visit your site for the first time.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, when a browser sees multiple subsequent requests for the same Google hosted version of jQuery, it understands that these requests are for the same file. Not only the CDN servers return a 304 “Not Modified” response if the file is requested again, but also instructs the browser to cache the file for up to one year. This means that even if someone visits hundreds of sites using the same Google hosted version of jQuery, they will only have to download it once.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Using jQuery UI Themes from the CDN &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To access jQueryUI themes, along with jquery.js and jquery-ui.js you also need to add reference the corresponding .css file. All of the standard jQuery UI themes are hosted on this CDN&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: You don&#39;t need to host the .css file and the associated images on your server, everything is accessed from the CDN service. Wow… that&#39;s gr8.&lt;br /&gt;

   <title>String.Format() for JavaScript</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/string-format-for-javascript"/>
   <updated>2010-11-30T11:33:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/string-format-for-javascript</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;.Net&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.format(v=VS.100).aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;String.Format&lt;/a&gt; is a very powerful method for working with strings and is one of my favorite utility which I have been using in C# &amp;amp; VB.net since long. And while working with javascript, lot many times I thought if we had something equivelent to .Net&#39;s&amp;#160; String.Format in javascript. Finally after goggling and taking help form few blogs I finally wrote following String.Format function into my javascript library. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom: #cecece 1px solid; border-left: #cecece 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; padding-left: 5px; width: 500px; padding-right: 5px; overflow: auto; border-top: #cecece 1px solid; border-right: #cecece 1px solid; padding-top: 5px&quot;&gt;&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;.format = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; (text) {
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000&quot;&gt;//check if there are two arguments in the arguments list&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;arguments&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;length&lt;/span&gt; &amp;lt;= 1) {
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;        &lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000&quot;&gt;//if there are not 2 or more arguments there&#39;s nothing to replace&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;        &lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000&quot;&gt;//iterate through the tokens and replace their&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;        text = text.replace(&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;RegExp&lt;/span&gt;(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot; + token + &amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;gi&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;),
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;                                                &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;arguments&lt;/span&gt;[token + 1]);
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;    }
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #ffffff; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;return&lt;/span&gt; text;

&lt;p&gt;The above code creates static function String.format and below is the working example of it: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom: #cecece 1px solid; border-left: #cecece 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; padding-left: 5px; width: 550px; padding-right: 5px; overflow: auto; border-top: #cecece 1px solid; border-right: #cecece 1px solid; padding-top: 5px&quot;&gt;&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #fbfbfb; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;var&lt;/span&gt; result = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;.format(&amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;Sum of {0} and {1} is {2).&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;, 5,6,5+6)
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #fbfbfb; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #fbfbfb; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #008000&quot;&gt;//This results in&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #fbfbfb; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;result = &amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8b0000&quot;&gt;Sum of 5 and 6 is 11.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This functionality can also be written in inline flavor: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom: #cecece 1px solid; border-left: #cecece 1px solid; padding-bottom: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; padding-left: 5px; width: 550px; padding-right: 5px; overflow: auto; border-top: #cecece 1px solid; border-right: #cecece 1px solid; padding-top: 5px&quot;&gt;&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;prototype&lt;/span&gt;.format = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;function&lt;/span&gt; () {
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;background-color: #d6d6d6; margin: 0em; width: 100%; font-family: consolas,&amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;,courier,monospace; font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;	&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;for&lt;/span&gt;(&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;var&lt;/span&gt; i=0;i&amp;lt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;arguments&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;length&lt;/span&gt;;i++)

   <updated>2010-02-11T23:45:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/asp.net/visual-studio-2010-rc-is-now-available</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Finally, long awaited Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Release Candidate with .Net Framework 4.0 and ASP.Net 4.0 was made publically available on 10th Feb, 2010.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I downloaded and installed it successfully, and only thing I can say it is far far batter then its previous beta releases. Still i feel it is slow compared it to VS2008, but new features and new look are worth it. It took about 4 hours to uninstall Beta2, download .ISO file of about 2.5 gb and install VS2010, but process was smooth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;It has an awesome, new sober look and feel with WPF-based UI and improved focus on writing, understanding, navigating, debugging and publishing the code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Gradually I see that Visual Studio is evolving as a platform in itself. One can complete all coding, modeling, testing, debugging, and deployment work without leaving the Visual Studio 2010 environment&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;New features in VS 2010&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Breakpoint labeling and grouping &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Parallel Stacks &amp;amp; Tasks Windows &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved Multi-Monitor &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved XAML Visual editor &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Extensible test runner &amp;amp; powerful testing tools with proactive project management features&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Azure, SharePoint &amp;amp; MVC Tooling &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intellisence for jQuery &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New Extensible Editor allows editor to be easily extended to provide a rich and robust editing experience &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Online Visual Studio Gallery integrated directly into Visual Studio &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for 64-bit Mixed-Mode &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and lot more…&lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386063(VS.100).aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;

   <title>Null Object Design Pattern</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/design%20patterns/null-object-design-pattern"/>
   <updated>2010-02-03T14:35:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/design%20patterns/null-object-design-pattern</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Null Object design pattern – alternatively returning &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;null object&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; instead of ‘&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Null&lt;/strong&gt;’&lt;/em&gt; to avoid repeatedly checking for null values within code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In the object oriented programming realm it&#39;s very common to create or use methods and properties that return null. And this resulting in NullReferenceException if the programmer forget to assert for null.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Null Object design pattern suggests to always return a valid instance instead of null. Rather returning null, you would return an object with a &amp;quot;null&amp;quot; or default behavior/state. This is the same approach as returning an default object instead of null. When you return null, the callers need to check for null. When you return an default object, the callers can access it without a problem - even if they forget to check for null.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image_thumb-5B2-5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb-5B2-5D.png&quot; width=&quot;163&quot; height=&quot;140&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Consider a case of &lt;em&gt;Member&lt;/em&gt; class which has &lt;em&gt;Plan&lt;/em&gt; property and &lt;em&gt;GetMember&lt;/em&gt;(id) method.&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image_thumb-5B5-5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb-5B5-5D.png&quot; width=&quot;163&quot; height=&quot;181&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Now to access membership plan for current member our code goes somewhat like this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;member = GetMember(id);&lt;br /&gt;currentMemberPlan = (member != &lt;span&gt;null&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;                 ? member.Plan : PlanType.General;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But by implementing Null Object design pattern our code can become like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;currentMemberPlan = GetMember(id).Plan&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Implementation&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Create a subclass of the source class to act as a null version of the class. Create an isNull operation on the source class and the null class. For the source class it should return false, for the null class it should return true. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Find all places that can give out a null when asked for a source object. Replace them to give out a null object instead. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Look for cases in the parent class and override those behaviour in the null version of the class to do some alternative/default behavior. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/image_thumb-5B13-5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb-5B13-5D-132x300.png&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; height=&quot;301&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In .Net(C# or VB) we can do this by implementing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;INullable&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also we need to modify our &lt;em&gt;GetMember&lt;/em&gt;(id) method of &lt;em&gt;Member&lt;/em&gt; class to return null object(instance of &lt;em&gt;NullMember&lt;/em&gt; class) instead of null value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also we should override members of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Member&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; class in &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NullMember&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; class for some default behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this example, &lt;em&gt;GetMember&lt;/em&gt;() never returns &lt;i&gt;null&lt;/i&gt;, but instead an instance of &lt;strong&gt;NullMember&lt;/strong&gt; (or DefaultCustomer or MissingCustomer), which is a sub-class of the &lt;strong&gt;Member&lt;/strong&gt; class and whose Plan property is defined as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span&gt;       public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;override&lt;/span&gt; PlanType Plan&lt;br /&gt;       {&lt;br /&gt;           get&lt;br /&gt;           {&lt;br /&gt;              return PlanType.General;&lt;br /&gt;           }&lt;br /&gt;           set&lt;br /&gt;           {&lt;br /&gt;                &lt;span&gt;//todo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           }&lt;br /&gt;       }&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The essence of this is that instead of checking an object for null and then invoking some behavior based on the answer, you just invoke the behavior. The object, depending on its type, does the right thing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In .Net Framework, String.Empty is one of the most common, simple and best example to understand Null Object design pattern.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One more example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s consider a call to a method that returns a Tool. Sometimes, the result will be a Hammer, sometimes a Wrench, or a ScrewDriver, etc. When you call the Use() method on each of these tools, you get a different result. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, if the method returns a NullTool, calling the Use() method would result in no action done at all. All this without having to test for null before the call to Use() and everywhere else when you pass the Tool around in the code.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Facebook Membership Provider</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/asp.net/facebook/facebook-membership-provider"/>
   <updated>2009-11-13T12:27:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/asp.net/facebook/facebook-membership-provider</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;h2&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;One of the great new features introduced in ASP.NET 2.0 was the use of the &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Provider Model&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; which provides flexibility and extensibility to your Web applications. Using the provider model, we can easily extend the capabilities provided by the ASP.NET. We can extend the provider model to work with the membership &amp;amp; role information for the Web site users in a custom way, rather than the default SQL Server Express 2005 database. In this project we are trying to demonstrate how to use Facebook Connect featues as Membership Provider for an ASP.Net web application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Facebook is no doubt, #1 social networking site. &lt;strong&gt;Facebook Connect&lt;/strong&gt; provides Authentication service and also provides powerful set of APIs by which we can bring user&#39;s identity and connections to our web applications. Using Facebook connect can access a user&#39;s Idnetity(name, photos etc), Social Graph(friends and connections) and Stream(ctivity, distribution, and integration points within Facebook, like stream stories and Publishers)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Important Links&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Live Demo : &lt;a href=&quot;http://pinalbhatt.cloudapp.net:8081/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://pinalbhatt.cloudapp.net:8081/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Source Code :&amp;#160; You can download the source code from &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/fbmembership/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google Code&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://fbmembership.codeplex.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;CodePlex&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To run the downloaded project you need to create facebook developer application and set its appropriate connect and callback urls. And copy the API key and the secret key to web.config files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this project we are using Facebook Connect as a Membership Provider for ASP.Net Web Application. This project is based on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/facebooksdk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Microsoft&#39;s SDK for Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, available at &lt;a href=&quot;http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Facebook Developer Toolkit Version 3.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Facebook Membership Provider&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As usual to create a custom membership provider, we need to inherit from &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;MembershipProvider&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; class and override methods from there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;FBMembership01&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;FBMembership01&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;assets/FBMembership01-5B9-5D-136x300.jpg&quot; width=&quot;218&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have created class “&lt;strong&gt;FBMembershipProvider&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;We don’t need to implement following methods and properties of &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;MembershipProvider&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; in our facebook membership provider as these functionalities are taken care by Facebook itself and we dont have direct access over there, hence we in our code we are just throwing NotSupportedException or returning appropriate values.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ChangePassword()      &lt;br /&gt;ChangePasswordQuestionAndAnswer() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CreateUser() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;DeleteUser() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FindUsersByEmail() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FindUsersByName() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetAllUsers() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetNumberOfUsersOnline() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetPassword() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetUserNameByEmail() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ResetPassword() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UnlockUser() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UpdateUser() &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;EnablePasswordReset : set to false &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;EnablePasswordRetrieval : set to false &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts : set to&amp;#160; -1 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters : set to&amp;#160; -1 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MinRequiredPasswordLength : set to&amp;#160; -1 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PasswordAttemptWindow : set to&amp;#160; -1 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PasswordFormat &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PasswordStrengthRegularExpression &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RequiresQuestionAndAnswer : set to false &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RequiresUniqueEmail : set to false &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I implemented only following methods:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetUser(string username, bool userIsOnline) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GetUser(object providerUserKey, bool userIsOnline) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ValidateUser(string username, string password) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initialize(string name, NameValueCollection config) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another important class i created is “&lt;strong&gt;FBUser&lt;/strong&gt;”, which inherits “MembershipUser” class &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/image_thumb-5B7-5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb-5B7-5D.png&quot; width=&quot;187&quot; height=&quot;161&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;and has&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;one property FacebookUser of Facebbook.Schema.user type &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a constructor to create FBUser from Facebbook.Schema.user. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;When you google on this topic you will find many ways to get Query String parameters &amp;amp; its values using JavaScript. Below is one of the smallest, easiest and a clean code for the same purpose.

   <title>Google - I am falling in love</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/google-i-am-falling-in-love"/>
   <updated>2009-09-23T16:49:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/google-i-am-falling-in-love</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Google is simply getting awesome day by day. Though I am a Microsoft guy and still a Microsoft lover, slowly i have started developing fondness for Google.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Google - synonym for search - is not only a search engine now,&amp;#160; it is much beyond search. &lt;em&gt;GMail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google Talk&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;iGoogle&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google Maps&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google&amp;#160; Earth&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google Toolbar&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google Docs&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Blogger&lt;/em&gt; are already there which have become common and have facilitated us since long. But still&amp;#160; slowly and gradually Google is bringing tools to engage us. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Other Google apps that have fascinated me are &lt;em&gt;Google Reader&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;em&gt;Google Notebook&lt;/em&gt;. I will simply say awesome for these tools and now they are part and parcel of my daily life. And now the newer one&amp;#160; “&lt;em&gt;SideWiki&lt;/em&gt;”&amp;#160; is goint to hit&amp;#160; us.&amp;#160; Also I am eagerly waiting for Google Waves. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I was expecting a lot from Microsoft Live, but frankly speaking i am disappointed. But still good parts of MS-Live are SkyDrive &amp;amp; Office Live. And i am still waiting for Microsoft&#39;s Office Web Apps. I am really excited about it and hope its able to bring me back from Google Docs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;One of the good things I like in Google is Tagging/Labeling functionality rather then arranging items into folders. In this way an item can stay in more then one folder. And obviously internal search is always there with almost all Google tools, after all its Google!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;But still Google is very poor in case of&amp;#160; Bookmarking, no where near to Delicious. Looking forward to have good Social Bookmarking features from Google. Also it need to do a lot in case of Social Networking.... frankly speaking i am not a fan of &amp;quot;Orkut&amp;quot;, here Facebook is excellent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Picasa &amp;amp; You Tube are again excellent. Now that my Samsung&#39;s P3600 Blu-ray player is directly able to stream from You Tube …… i am going crazy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Still I need to explore Google Books, let me see if I can find books on latest Microsoft technologies,&amp;#160; otherwise :( for Google Books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Any way, Google, thanks &amp;amp; keep it up, you are taking up at least 1 to 2 hours of my daily time… hummm to expensive.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Social Bookmarking : Links/Urls</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/social-bookmarking-linksurls"/>
   <updated>2009-07-29T11:10:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/social-bookmarking-linksurls</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Social Bookmarking&lt;/strong&gt;” - An another buzz word parallel to “&lt;strong&gt;Social Networking&lt;/strong&gt;”. Lets see what it is and how to provide links on your WebPages/Websites for social bookmarking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What is Social Bookmarking?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;It is like bookmarking a website or a webpage and saving it for later but instead of saving them to your local web browser, you are saving them to the web. And, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily access them from anywhere and share them with friends. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Social bookmarking&lt;/b&gt; is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy&quot;&gt;folksonomy&lt;/a&gt;. Folksonomy is also called &lt;i&gt;social tagging&lt;/i&gt;, &amp;quot;the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content&amp;quot;. [&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wikipedia definition&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Most social bookmark services encourage users to organize their bookmarks with informal tags instead of the traditional browser-based system of folders, although some services feature categories/folders or a combination of folders and tags. They also enable viewing bookmarks associated with a chosen tag, and include information about the number of users who have bookmarked them. Some social bookmarking services also draw inferences from the relationship of tags to create clusters of tags or bookmarks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Links&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the list of few of the popular service providers for Social Bookmarking and the url associated: &lt;/p&gt;

   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Picasa DataProvider for Vertigo Slide.Show 2 is an open source extension to the original Slide.Show 2 by Vertigo. (Based on release 2.1 dated 13-Jul-2009). Slide.Show 2 is an open source Silverlight 2 control for publishing highly-customizable photo and video slideshows on the Web.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Live Demo&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Basic Demo:&lt;/b&gt;This sample is a simple slideshow in LightTheme. It uses the PicasaDataProvider for data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/#&quot; jquery1248105249784=&quot;17&quot; jquery1248105922851=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;View Demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Demo With Album filters:&lt;/b&gt;This sample is a simple slideshow in DarkTheme. It uses the PicasaDataProvider with Album filter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Demo With XML Configuration:&lt;/b&gt;This sample is customized using a very simple XML configuration file to disable the embed button viewer in the default Light Theme and start the album paused in the album view. It uses the PicasaDataProvider with Album filter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.pbdesk.com/#&quot; jquery1248105249784=&quot;19&quot; jquery1248105922851=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;View Demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>FireFox : Add-ons & Plug-ins for Web Developers</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/firefox-add-ons-plug-ins-for-web-developers"/>
   <updated>2009-07-08T12:15:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/firefox-add-ons-plug-ins-for-web-developers</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mozilla Firefox&lt;/b&gt; - I love this browser. Though I don&#39;t use most! Yes I am a .Net guy so mostly I am on IE and IE8 is much better now. Any way here in this post I want to tell about FireFox and mainly about the Add-ons / plugins / extensions available for FireFox. There are thousands of add-ons available for FF(you can find them &lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), but here I am listing only few of them which I mostly use as a web developer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Latest stable version of Fire Fox : 3.5 (release date: 30-June-2009).     &lt;br /&gt;To read more about version histroy visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mozilla_Firefox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.      &lt;br /&gt;Official website for firefox is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mozilla.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.mozilla.com&lt;/a&gt;. You can find more about &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FireFox at Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coming to the point, lets discuss about the add-ons that are mostly used by web developers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Firebug&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;web development evolved&amp;quot; - rightly said at official site of Firebug &lt;a href=&quot;http://getfirebug.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://getfirebug.com&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can be downloaded from &lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Version history and its compatibility with FireFox version can be found &lt;a href=&quot;https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/1843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Firebug is free and open source (BSD) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are a webdeveloper you simply cannot miss this tool. Excellent, awsome, amazing, great, wow whatever you want to say you can say it. It improves productivity of a web developer to a great extent by CSS &amp;amp; JS debugging features. No doubt one of the most important business tool used by development companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mainly use it for tracing CSS issues. JS debugging is really great feature but i like it better in IE8 web developer tools. Besides this firebug has many worth fetures:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Easily accessable via F12 key. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Faclity to inspect and edit HTML and explore the DOM &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inspecting CSS, tweaking CSS on the fly to perfection &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Debug and profile JavaScript, execute JavaScript on the fly, logging for JavaScript &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monitor network activity &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;   &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Learning F#</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/learning-f"/>
   <updated>2009-06-16T13:51:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/learning-f</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;F#&lt;/b&gt; - a new buzz word in the market. With .Net Framework 4.0 Microsoft is also planning to release F# - a multi-paradigm, strongly typed,&amp;nbsp; functional programming language.     &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been hearing about F# almost since last one year but now planning to enter into this new paradigm. So with this intention I am starting this blog to share my learnings on F#. I will regularly update this post as I proceed with my learning.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My first step will be to know what exactly this buzz word means by answering questions like What is F#? Why F#? History of F#.    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Important Links     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/fsharp/default.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Microsoft F# Developer Center&lt;/a&gt;

   <title>Uploading files to FTP server using ASP.Net</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/uploading-files-to-ftp-server-using-asp-net"/>
   <updated>2009-03-28T15:45:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/asp.net/uploading-files-to-ftp-server-using-asp-net</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Uploading files using &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.fileupload.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FileUpload&lt;/a&gt; server control is very common and easy with ASP.Net. But normally in this method files are uploaded to the hard disk of the web server. Here are few articles on this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ASP.NET Technical Articles : &lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479405.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Uploading Files in ASP.NET 2.0&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wrox : &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-292158.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ASP.NET 2.0 FileUpload Server Control&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CodeGuru : &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/sample_chapter/article.php/c12593&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ASP.NET 2.0 FileUpload Server Control&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what if we want to upload the files directly to some FTP server instead of web server. This article show how to use same FileUpload server control of ASP.Net to upload files directly to some other FTP server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is the function written in C# which takes HttpPostedFile object as parameters and uploads the associated file to FTP server ftp://demo.myFtpServer.com/UploadFles&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;private bool &lt;/span&gt;UploadToFTP(&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;HttpPostedFile &lt;/span&gt;fileToUpload)
       {

           &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;try
           &lt;/span&gt;{
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;string &lt;/span&gt;uploadUrl = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #a31515&quot;&gt;@&amp;quot;ftp://demo.myFtpServer.com/UploadFles&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;;
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;string &lt;/span&gt;uploadFileName = fileToUpload.FileName;

               &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;Stream &lt;/span&gt;streamObj = fileToUpload.InputStream;
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;Byte&lt;/span&gt;[] buffer = &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;new &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;Byte&lt;/span&gt;[fileToUpload.ContentLength];
               streamObj.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
               streamObj.Close();
               streamObj = &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;null&lt;/span&gt;;

               &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;string &lt;/span&gt;ftpUrl = &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;string&lt;/span&gt;.Format(&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a31515&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;{0}/{1}&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;, uploadUrl, uploadFileName);
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;FtpWebRequest &lt;/span&gt;requestObj = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;FtpWebRequest&lt;/span&gt;.Create(ftpUrl) &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;FtpWebRequest&lt;/span&gt;;
               requestObj.Method = &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;WebRequestMethods&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;Ftp&lt;/span&gt;.UploadFile;
               requestObj.Credentials = &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;new &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;NetworkCredential&lt;/span&gt;(&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a31515&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;userid&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;color: #a31515&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;password&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;);
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b91af&quot;&gt;Stream &lt;/span&gt;requestStream = requestObj.GetRequestStream();
               requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
               requestStream.Flush();
               requestStream.Close();
               requestObj = &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;null&lt;/span&gt;;

               &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;return true&lt;/span&gt;;
           }
           &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;catch
           &lt;/span&gt;{
               &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;return false&lt;/span&gt;;

   <title>Learning Pathway for .Net</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/learning-pathway-for-net"/>
   <updated>2009-03-17T06:13:00-04:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/learning-pathway-for-net</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Just as in life, you need to know at least one language of communication for your survival, to swim the ocean of .Net you need to know at least one .Net programming language. Of the many .Net programming languages you need to learn and master at least one of them. And on the whole your major choice is going to be between &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;C#&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Visual Basic&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So taking first step towards learning .Net, you need to decide for the core programming language: C# or VB or some other……, but we are going to focus on VB &amp;amp; C# only, for other .Net languages you may ‘Google’ &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;further……&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Deciding between C# &amp;amp; VB&lt;/span&gt; : These both the languages are almost at par to each other, yet for more comparative study you may refer to my blog &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2008/11/c-vs-vb.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Comparing &amp;amp; Contrasting C# &amp;amp; VB&lt;/a&gt;”. But &lt;i&gt;as a thumb rule for beginners : &lt;u&gt;if you are good at syntax and styles of C, C++ or Java – C# is the language for you&lt;/u&gt; where as &lt;u&gt;if you are more familiar with Visual Basic 6 or BASIC programming languages – VB that is to say VB.Net is the solution for you&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/i&gt; Eventually you can target to master both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;First Step&lt;/span&gt; : So your first step towards learning .Net is to choose a programming language using which you can make an entry point into .Net universe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who choose for C# : here is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2008/02/index-index-goes-here.html&quot;&gt;Learning Pathway for C#&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And for those who choose for VB : here is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2007/12/image-demo.html&quot;&gt;Learning Pathway for VB&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now at this point of time I would like to divide your .Net learning pathway into three levels :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: verdana&quot;&gt;(i) Beginner Level,        &lt;br /&gt;(ii) Intermediate Level and         &lt;br /&gt;(iii) Advanced Level&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the complete &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2007/12/net-learning-track.html&quot;&gt;.Net Learning curve&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>What is minified JavaScript?</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/what-is-minified-javascript"/>
   <updated>2009-02-24T22:59:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/javascript/what-is-minified-javascript</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Minification&lt;/b&gt; (very often just &lt;b&gt;minify&lt;/b&gt;, and sometimes also &lt;b&gt;minimisation&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;minimization&lt;/b&gt;), is the practice of removing unnecessary characters from code to reduce its size thereby improving load times. When code is minified all comments are removed, as well as unneeded white space characters (space, newline, and tab). In the case of JavaScript, this improves response time performance because the size of the downloaded file is reduced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In computer programming languages and especially JavaScript, it is the process of removing all unnecessary characters from source code, without changing its functionality. These unnecessary characters usually include white space characters, new line characters, comments and sometimes block delimiters; which are used to add readability to the code, but are not required for it to execute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Minified source code is specially useful for interpreted languages deployed and transmitted on the Internet (such as JavaScript), because it reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred. Minified source code may also be used as a kind of obfuscation. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Minified source code is also very useful for HTML &amp;amp; CSS code. All white space in HTML &amp;amp; css is reduced to only one space on the surface of a web page, so it&#39;s often quite possible to halve the size of a web page, by removing all excessive white space.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;A good minifying software is expected to reduce size to about 30-40% of original source code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Tools for minifying code&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;popular tools for minifying JavaScript code are&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/using-jquery-ui-theme-in-blogger-com</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;jQuery UI&lt;/strong&gt; provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Welcome to jQuery UI!&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.5; margin: 1em 0px; width: 100%; font-size: 1.3em&quot;&gt;This page demonstrates the widgets you downloaded using the theme you selected in the download builder. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.5; margin: 1em 0px; width: 100%; font-size: 1.2em&quot;&gt;You&#39;ve downloaded components and a theme that are compatible with jQuery 1.3+.

   <title>Downloading Videos from YouTube & Other sources</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/video/youtube/downloading-videos-from-youtube-other-sources"/>
   <updated>2009-02-16T05:52:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/video/youtube/downloading-videos-from-youtube-other-sources</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Since long I was looking for proper method to download videos from YouTube and other websites showing streaming videos. At last, I found one easy way to download videos from sites like YouTube, Google videos, Bebo, MySpace, SpikedHumor, Apple videos, or any other site:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Required Software : Real Player. (Current version is v11 as on date). You can download &lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/__Au1zuguDlE/SZvYobnl20I/AAAAAAAAAvc/wu0k6JpO1mU/s1600-h/logo_real%5B3%5D.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px&quot; title=&quot;logo_real&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;logo_real&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;assets/logo_real_thumb%5B1%5D.gif?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;120&quot; height=&quot;63&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; latest version of Real Player at &lt;a title=&quot;http://www.realplayer.com/&quot; href=&quot;http://www.realplayer.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.realplayer.com/&lt;/a&gt;. It is available in two editions : one RealPlayer Free, the basic edition and second RealPlayer Plus. The Basic free edition is good enough for our need to download videos from web.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Download RealPlayer and install it.&amp;#160; Once installed, this program adds a plug-in for your browsers (Internet Explorer or Firefox) and whenever you are watching a video, just hover over it with you mouse and a &amp;quot;Download This Video&amp;quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/__Au1zuguDlE/SZvYo-8bJjI/AAAAAAAAAvk/elTrmgAqg6M/s1600-h/image%5B8%5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb%5B6%5D.png?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;192&quot; height=&quot;32&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; button will appear on top of the video (like in the image below) . Click on it and select “Save This Video As…” option. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/__Au1zuguDlE/SZvYpjZvYEI/AAAAAAAAAvs/z5k6GwD80FQ/s1600-h/download%5B5%5D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto&quot; title=&quot;download&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;download&quot; src=&quot;assets/download_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;374&quot; height=&quot;146&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the button doesn&#39;t appear, right click anywhere on the video and choose &amp;quot;Download This Video To RealPlayer&amp;quot; as shown below.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/__Au1zuguDlE/SZvYqKrsaRI/AAAAAAAAAv0/I9ujw8Bz7qY/s1600-h/image%5B12%5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb%5B8%5D.png?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;244&quot; height=&quot;121&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RealPlayer will then start downloading your chosen video and a new window will appear to show the progress, like this:    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh3.ggpht.com/__Au1zuguDlE/SZvYq9f40sI/AAAAAAAAAv8/75EMdOyINzs/s1600-h/image%5B17%5D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto&quot; title=&quot;image&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;assets/image_thumb%5B11%5D.png?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;358&quot; height=&quot;272&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Once download is complete, you can play the downloaded video by clicking the &#39;Play&#39; link or from the download folder. (Note: Clicking &#39;Remove&#39; or &#39;Clear&#39; button will only delete the video from the download list, not from your computer) By default, RealPlayer downloads all your videos in a folder called &amp;quot;RealPlayer Downloads&amp;quot; inside your &amp;quot;My Documents/My Videos&amp;quot; folder and in some cases in Vista its downloaded at “C:Users&amp;lt;username&amp;gt;VideosRealPlayer Downloads” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s it, you have downloaded your video! The videos downloaded from YouTube are in .flv format. Real Player supports this as well as wide verities of audio and video formats. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wish to convert downloaded items into another formats, visit my post “&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.p-bhatt.com/2009/02/changing-formats-of-audio-video-files.html&quot;&gt;Changing Audio &amp;amp; Video Formats&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>Abstract Class vs Interface</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/abstract-class-vs-interface"/>
   <updated>2008-11-16T18:16:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/abstract-class-vs-interface</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this article I am going to compare &amp;amp; contrast Abstract Class and Interface in radiance of .Net programming languages - VB and C#.  In OOPS, these concepts are often confusing but are very important from system architecture point of view. And ofcourse, from &quot;Interviews&quot; point of view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here I am trying to discuss the theoretical aspects of these terms and the practical usage of the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot; ;font-family:verdana;font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;What is an Abstract Class?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p face=&quot;verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;10pt&quot; color=&quot;black&quot; style=&quot;  &quot;&gt;An abstract class is a special kind of class that cannot be instantiated. So the question is why we need a class that cannot be instantiated? An abstract class is only to be sub-classed (inherited from). In other words, it only allows other classes to inherit from it but cannot be instantiated. The advantage is that it enforces certain hierarchies for all the subclasses. In simple words, it is a kind of contract that forces all the subclasses to carry on the same hierarchies or standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;What is an Interface?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An interface is not a class. It is an entity that is defined by the word Interface. An interface has no implementation; it only has the signature or in other words, just the definition of the methods without the body. As one of the similarities to Abstract class, it is a contract that is used to define hierarchies for all subclasses or it defines specific set of methods and their arguments. The main difference between them is that a class can implement more than one interface but can only inherit from one abstract class. Since C# doesn’t support multiple inheritance, interfaces are used to implement multiple inheritance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;Both Together&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;When we create an interface, we are basically creating a set of methods without any implementation that must be overridden by the implemented classes. The advantage is that it provides a way for a class to be a part of two classes: one from inheritance hierarchy and one from the interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;When we create an abstract class, we are creating a base class that might have one or more completed methods but at least one or more methods are left uncompleted and declared &lt;code style=&quot; color: rgb(153,0,0); font-family:&#39;Courier New&#39;, courier, mono;font-size:11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:blue;&quot;&gt;abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. If all the methods of an abstract class are uncompleted then it is same as an interface. The purpose of an abstract class is to provide a base class definition for how a set of derived classes will work and then allow the programmers to fill the implementation in the derived classes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;There are some similarities and differences between an interface and an abstract class that I have arranged in a table for easier comparison:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Interface&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Abstract class&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Multiple inheritance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;A class may inherit several interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;A class may inherit only one abstract class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Default implementation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An interface cannot provide any code, just the signature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An abstract class can provide complete, default code and/or just the details that have to be overridden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;Access Modfiers&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;An abstract class can contain access modifiers for the subs, functions, properties&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Core VS Peripheral&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Interfaces are used to define the peripheral abilities of a class. In other words both Human and Vehicle can inherit from a IMovable interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An abstract class defines the core identity of a class and there it is used for objects of the same type.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Homogeneity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;If various implementations only share method signatures then it is better to use Interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;If various implementations are of the same kind and use common behaviour or status then abstract class is better to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Speed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Requires more time to find the actual method in the corresponding classes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Fast&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Adding functionality (Versioning)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;If we add a new method to an Interface then we have to track down all the implementations of the interface and define implementation for the new method.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;If we add a new method to an abstract class then we have the option of providing default implementation and therefore all the existing code might work properly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;border-right: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; color: black; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;33%&quot;&gt;Fields and Constants&lt;/td&gt;

   <title>Abstract Class vs Interface</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/abstract-class-vs-interface-2"/>
   <updated>2008-11-15T00:00:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/programming/abstract-class-vs-interface-2</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this article I am going to compare &amp;amp; contrast Abstract Class and Interface in radiance of .Net programming languages - VB and C#.&amp;#160; In OOPS, these concepts are often confusing but are very important from system architecture point of view. And ofcourse, from &amp;quot;Interviews&amp;quot; point of view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here I am trying to discuss the theoretical aspects of these terms and the practical usage of the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-family: verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;What is an Abstract Class?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An abstract class is a special kind of class that cannot be instantiated. So the question is why we need a class that cannot be instantiated? An abstract class is only to be sub-classed (inherited from). In other words, it only allows other classes to inherit from it but cannot be instantiated. The advantage is that it enforces certain hierarchies for all the subclasses. In simple words, it is a kind of contract that forces all the subclasses to carry on the same hierarchies or standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;What is an Interface?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;An interface is not a class. It is an entity that is defined by the word Interface. An interface has no implementation; it only has the signature or in other words, just the definition of the methods without the body. As one of the similarities to Abstract class, it is a contract that is used to define hierarchies for all subclasses or it defines specific set of methods and their arguments. The main difference between them is that a class can implement more than one interface but can only inherit from one abstract class. Since C# doesn&amp;#8217;t support multiple inheritance, interfaces are used to implement multiple inheritance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(255,153,0); font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px&quot;&gt;Both Together&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;When we create an interface, we are basically creating a set of methods without any implementation that must be overridden by the implemented classes. The advantage is that it provides a way for a class to be a part of two classes: one from inheritance hierarchy and one from the interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;When we create an abstract class, we are creating a base class that might have one or more completed methods but at least one or more methods are left uncompleted and declared &lt;code style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(153,0,0); font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, mono&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;. If all the methods of an abstract class are uncompleted then it is same as an interface. The purpose of an abstract class is to provide a base class definition for how a set of derived classes will work and then allow the programmers to fill the implementation in the derived classes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif&quot;&gt;There are some similarities and differences between an interface and an abstract class that I have arranged in a table for easier comparison:&lt;/p&gt;

   <title>C# : Enum – Tricks & Tips</title>
   <link href="http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/c-enum-tricks-tips"/>
   <updated>2008-02-20T12:23:00-05:00</updated>
   <id>http://blog.pbdesk.io/dotnet/c-enum-tricks-tips</id>
   <content type="html">&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;This is not a beginners tutorial for concept of Enum. Its is assumed that you are aware of the basic concepts of enum. Here I am presenting few advance level tricks and tips which programmers often need while working with enums. For basic tutorial on enum you can visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorials/Lesson17.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The C# Station Tutorial (Lesson 17: Enums)&lt;/a&gt; or msdn at &lt;a title=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbbt4032(VS.80).aspx&quot; href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbbt4032(VS.80).aspx&quot;&gt;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sbbt4032(VS.80).aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;All enum instances in .net implicitly inherit the System.Enum type in the Base Class Library and hence we can use members of System.Enum with the instances of enums. There are few good functionalities available in System.Enum which are often required while working with enums and for manipulating&amp;#160; them. So lets have look on them one by one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;One of the common requirement is to cast the enum object to and fro between its integer and string values. Consider following sample code:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: silver 1px solid; text-align: left; border-left: silver 1px solid; padding-bottom: 4px; line-height: 12pt; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding-left: 4px; width: 97.5%; padding-right: 4px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; max-height: 200px; font-size: 8pt; overflow: auto; border-top: silver 1px solid; cursor: text; border-right: silver 1px solid; padding-top: 4px&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   1:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000ff&quot;&gt;enum&lt;/span&gt; ColorSwatch&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   2:&lt;/span&gt;    {&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   3:&lt;/span&gt;        Black = 0,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   4:&lt;/span&gt;        Red = 1,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   5:&lt;/span&gt;        Green = 2,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   6:&lt;/span&gt;        Blue = 3,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   7:&lt;/span&gt;        Yellow = 4,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   8:&lt;/span&gt;        Orange = 5,&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: white; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;   9:&lt;/span&gt;        Pink = 6&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre style=&quot;border-bottom-style: none; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 12pt; border-right-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0em; padding-left: 0px; width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; font-family: &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; direction: ltr; border-top-style: none; color: black; font-size: 8pt; border-left-style: none; overflow: visible; padding-top: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #606060&quot;&gt;  10:&lt;/span&gt;    }&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--CRLF--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;int to Enum&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This casting is the simple one.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; int colorCode = 2;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; selectedColor = (&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt;)colorCode;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;OR&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; c;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;c = (&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; )Enum.ToObject(typeof(&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; ), colorCode)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Enum to int&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Once again this is a simple cast.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; cs = ColorSwatch.Orange;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; int c = (int)cs;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As per this code, integer variable c should now have integer value associated with Orange. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;string to Enum&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This cast is the tricky one and can be done in following way:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; string colorStr = &amp;quot;blue&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; bool ignoreCase = true;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt; CC =&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; (&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt;)Enum.Parse(typeof(&lt;strong&gt;ColorSwatch&lt;/strong&gt;), &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; colorStr, ignoreCase);&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;But this code will throw an argument exception if the string value is either an empty string or only contains white space or is a name, but not one of the named constants defined for the enumeration. This exception can be avoided using &lt;strong&gt;IsDefined&lt;/strong&gt;() method as follow:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;if (&lt;strong&gt;Enum.IsDefined&lt;/strong&gt;(typeof(ColorSwatch), colorStr))&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;{&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; ColorSwatch CC = (ColorSwatch)Enum.Parse(typeof(ColorSwatch), &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; colorStr,&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; ignoreCase);&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt; }&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Enum to string&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Again this is the most simple one. Just using ToString() method gives us string value corresponding to the enum object.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;Below are few other important functionalities available under System.Enum which are often useful :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Othre methods from System.Enum&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enum.GetName() : &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Retrieves the name(string) of the constant in the specified enumeration that has the specified value.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enum.GetNames() :
&lt;p&gt;Retrieves an array of string of the names of the constants in a specified enumeration. The elements of the return value array are sorted by the values of the enumerated constants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enum.GetValues() :
&lt;p&gt;Retrieves an array of the values of the constants in a specified enumeration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
