Yahoo Shuts Down Mash, 0-4 On Social Networking

What will happen for you if you saw the following news while checking your mails or RSS?

Google Shuts Down Google Docs (will lose all your documents?)

Select an option in select tag by value

2008-07-05T03:28:00.003+03:00

<SELECT name="fruit">
  <OPTION value="apple">apple</option>
  <OPTION value="orange">orange</option>
  <OPTION value="pear">pear</option>
</SELECT>

If you need to select an option in a select tag by index you can do the following:

document.getElementById('dropDown').selectedIndex = 1;

But if you want to select an option in a select tag by value you can do the following:

for(var i=0; i<document.getElementById('dropDown').options.length;i++)

        if(document.getElementById('dropDown').options[i].value == "MYVALUE")
          document.getElementById('dropDown').selectedIndex = i;

Disable or stop AutoCompleteExtender (Javascript)

2008-06-19T01:53:00.002+03:00

To disable or stop the AutoCompleteExtender from running or calling its service to load auto suggested list, (Using Javascript)

Its very simple

-Set the BehaviorID property for the AutoCompleteExtender

<ajaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender
   runat="server"
   ID="autoSuggest"
   TargetControlID="SearchBox"
   ServiceMethod="GetSuggestedList"
   ServicePath="~/_Services/AutoSuggest.asmx"
   MinimumPrefixLength="2"
   CompletionInterval="1"
   EnableCaching="true"
   CompletionSetCount="10"
   CompletionListCssClass="AutoSuggestSearch"
   CompletionListItemCssClass="listItem"
   CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass="highlightedListItem"
   BehaviorID="autoSuggest"
     />

Then using javascript just write:

function selectType()
{
   var a = $find("autoSuggest");
   a.set_serviceMethod('');
}

By setting the service method to empty, the autosuggestextender will not find the service to call and will stop working

Window.open invalid argument

2008-06-17T23:19:00.002+03:00

Just a hint about a simple problem could happen to you while writing javascript code to open a new browser window using window.open, it may give you the following error message box

in case you wrote it like that:

window.open("http://www.google.com", "This Is My Page", "status=1, width=300,height=500");

where is the wrong argument?

its the name argument "This Is My Page"

You can write it like that (without spaces):

window.open("http://www.google.com", "ThisIsMyPage", "status=1, width=300,height=500");

Note:

It wont give you any errors in firefox in both cases, this error just happen in IE.

window.open good article

Take care from your HTML comments

2008-05-28T02:01:00.001+03:00

Commenting in html code may make a web page renders the wrong way,

The problem i faced is if you wrote:

hello-->

Not all HTML parsers get this right, so my problem was that the VS and dream weaver consider it as comments but in the browser i saw "some comments, hello-->" showing, so the browser didn't consider it as a HTML comment, so take care from this point.

Fraction To Decimal

2008-03-14T02:51:00.003+02:00

      Dim lower As Decimal = 0
      Dim remain As Decimal = 0
      If frac.IndexOf("/") <> -1 Then


          If frac.IndexOf(" ") <> -1 Then
              remain = CType(frac.Substring(0, frac.IndexOf(" ")), Decimal)
              frac = frac.Substring(frac.IndexOf(" "))
          End If

          upper = CType(frac.Substring(0, frac.IndexOf("/")), Decimal)
          lower = CType(frac.Substring(frac.IndexOf("/") + 1), Decimal)

          decimalVal = (remain + (upper / lower)).ToString
      End If
      Return decimalVal

              whole = String(decimal).split('.')[0];
              decimal = parseFloat("."+String(decimal).split('.')[1]);
              num = "1";
              for(z=0; z<String(decimal).length-2; z++){
              num += "0";
              }
              decimal = parseInt(decimal*num);
              num = parseInt(num);
              for(z=2; z<decimal+1; z++){
                  if(decimal%z==0 && num%z==0){
                      decimal = decimal/z;

slider1._currentIndex = imageIndex-1;
slider1.setCurrentImage = imgUrl;
}

Excel file in new excel instance

2008-02-01T20:24:00.001+02:00

You can open any excel file using code like this:

Process.Start(filePath);

But what will happen if we have these 2 lines of code:

Process.Start(filePathONE);

Process.Start(filePathTWO);

Will first open “filePathONE” in a new excel instance, then will open the “filePathTwo” in the same excel instance.

What we can do if we want to open each file in a separate new excel instance?

We must write it like that:

Process.Start(“Excel.exe”, filePathONE);

Process.Start(“Excel.exe”, filePathTWO);

It’s very simple, isn’t it?

But we can face a small problem with this way:

If you want to open an excel file that contains space in its name, for example “my Sheet.xls”, it will give you a runtime error that it can’t open files “my.xls” and “Sheet.xls”.

So what can I do?

It’s simple:

Just add “ before and after the file path, just like that:

Process.Start(“Excel.exe”, @“””filePathONE”””);

Like that it will open normally without any errors.

Note:

You will need to do the same for any office application (word, powerpoint, ….).

Access splash screen

2008-02-01T20:15:00.001+02:00

How to add a splash screen that closes after 10 seconds before my main form starts?

Here is one way:
1. Place the form that has the splash screen in design view and set the following properties:
Timer Interval 6000
On Timer>>>>>>Click the build button to create an event procedure. Place the following code in that procedure:
________________________________________
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error GoTo Error_Routine
' Form stays open for 10 seconds, then closes.
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMainSwitchboard"
Exit_Continue:
Exit Sub
Error_Routine:
MsgBox "Error# " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_Continue
End Sub
______________________________________________
2. Go to Startup properties on the Access Command menu tools>Startup and select the splash screen as the form hat opens at startup. Then test by restarting your application access file.

AnimationExtender dynamic TargetControlID

2008-01-04T20:08:00.001+02:00

How to make one AnimationExtender which apply on more than one control based on your selection in run time?

There are many solutions available online, some are very complicated and some are not useful.

For example if you want to make something like the messages which appear when you click on password, postal code,... text controls in this yahoo registration page:

https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?.intl=us&new=1&.done=http://mail.yahoo.com&.src=ym&.v=0&.u=47furq93nrtek&partner=&.partner=&pkg=&stepid=&.p=&promo=&.last=

Sure this is not the only way to do the same as in this page, but this is how to do the same using AnimationExtender Ajax ToolKit control.

And Now how to make it:

We want to show an animated different message when we click on different TextBoxs.

1- Don't forget to add the Script Manger before using the AnimationExtender Control

     <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
  

2- Then Create the AnimationExtender control and assign any default TargetControlID property because it will not work if its empty.

<cc1:AnimationExtender ID="AnimationExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox2">

3- Then create the controls you will work on as you can see in the complete page code below.

4- Now the problem that the TargetControlID property can't be dynamic, so what we can do to apply the same Extender to more than one control:

We can make a small work around by adding a hidden field and using javascript we can set this hidden field to the control we need.

Then assign this hidden control value to the AnimationTargetScript:

<cc1:AnimationExtender ID="AnimationExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox2">
<Animations>

<OnClick> <Sequence>
<FadeIn AnimationTargetScript="javascript:getTargetControl();" Duration="0.5" Fps="300"/> </Sequence>
   </OnClick>
</Animations>
</cc1:AnimationExtender>
  <input type="hidden" id="hid" value="msg1" />

function getTargetControl()
{      return document.getElementById("hid").value;    }  

Then we want to make the function which will start the animation when clicking on a textbox control:

function animate(ele)    {        $get("Msg1").style.opacity=0;        $get("Msg2").style.opacity=0;        $get("hid").value=ele;        if ($find("AnimationExtender1")!=null)            {                var onclkBehavior = $find("AnimationExtender1").get_OnClickBehavior().get_animation();                onclkBehavior.play();            }    }

Firefox more than one homepage

2007-09-29T20:08:00.000+02:00

I want to make Firefox open for me more than one home page as IE7 do.
How can i do so?
You can have several homepages if you specify them in
Tools > Options > Main - Homepage
separated by "|", e.g. :

http://www.google.com | http://www.experts-exchange.com

OR

Open all pages that you want as home page in separate tabs, then go to Tools->Options->Main and click "Use current pages", Firefox will add all pages from tabs in "Home page" textbox separated with | .

C# Unsafe code not exist in VB.Net

2007-09-29T19:32:00.000+02:00

One of the biggest differences between VB.Net and C# is using the Unsafe code.
In C# we can write unsafe code such as dealing with images in unsafe style:
unsafe
{
}

We can deal with pointers inside this unsafe block which we can't do in VB.Net till now.

What can we do to write an application that must have some unsafe code?
My opinion is don't waste your time and use an external C# dll file contains all the unsafe code and call it from your VB.Net application.
You can use any VB.Net to C# converters, it will convert it for you but when compile you will receive compilation errors in your VB.Net application.

Move controls using Arrow keys

2007-09-25T21:12:00.000+02:00

I faced a problem today while trying to move a custom control I did on a windows form using keyboard arrow keys, the problem that the KeyDown event don't feel arrow keys, I read about some and found some articles about.
Some articles were not good at all but it may be a very fast solution and may help others but it didn't help me :)
I read for example that you can use the KeyUp event instead; it will work but suppose you need to move an object using KeyUp, ooh, very annoying and not user friendly.
But the best fastest solution I found was the following:

Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
'Returns true if the character was processed by the control;
'otherwise, false.

Dim bHandled As Boolean = False
Select Case keyData
Case Keys.Right
Me.currentControl.Left += 10
bHandled = True
Case Keys.Left
Me.currentControl.Left -= 10
bHandled = True
Case Keys.Up
Me.currentControl.Top -= 10
bHandled = True
Case Keys.Down
Me.currentControl.Top += 10
bHandled = True
End Select
Return bHandled
End Function
