Bing's Design

Google didn’t checked the Bing’s design? or Google liked the Bing’s design so much? What’s your say on this?

Just to demonstrate I am creating a sample table. Since it is sample I have not created any Primary Key on it.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](
	[EmpId] [int] NOT NULL,
	[FirstName] [varchar](50) NULL,
	[Dept] [varchar](50) NULL
)

Once table has been created you are ready to insert data into it,

declare @TestDoc int
declare @TestDoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @TestDoc output,
N'












'
insert into employees(empid, firstname, dept)
select empid, firstname, dept
from openxml(@TestDoc, N'/Root/Employees/Employee')
With (EmpId varchar(5) '@EmpID',
    FirstName varchar(10) '@FirstName',
    Dept varchar(10) '../@Dept')
exec sp_xml_removedocument @TestDoc

Alternatively, you can change your XML format like this,

declare @TestDoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @TestDoc output,
N'

select *
from openxml(@TestDoc, N'/Root/Employees/Employee')
With (EmpId varchar(5) '@EmpID',
    FirstName varchar(10) '.',
    Dept varchar(10) '../@Dept')
exec sp_xml_removedocument @TestDoc

If you want to fetch your existing data from SQL in XML format,
With values as attributes,

select * from employees
for xml auto

Output Data as Attributes

select * from employees
for xml auto, elements

Output Data as Elements

Enso

Humanized Enso

You just hold down the Caps Lock key and type an Enso command, which is displayed in a translucent overlay. Once the command is typed, you simply release the Caps Lock key to activate it, and the overlay disappears. If you type fast, it all happens in a flash. For instance, to launch the Firefox Web browser, you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type “open firefox.” To look up the meaning of the word “proclivity,” you just hold down the Caps Lock key and type “define proclivity.”

GodMode in Windows 7 contains all the settings options. It is one place stop for all the setting in Windows 7.

Windows 7 GodMode

To activate this feature follow the following steps,

• Create a folder named GodMode in any drive
• Rename the folder and append “.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” (without quotes)
• Renamed folder name should look like “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”
• Once you rename it the folder icon will be changed and the folder will be renamed to GodMode.

SharePoint Error: “The language-neutral solution package was not found”

The solution to this problem is, Restart your visual studio. And it will be back to normal.

Hope this helps

If you just place your both the code files in your App_Code directly this is the error you’ll see,

“The files ‘/BlogEngine.Web/App_Code/VBCode/Class1.vb’ and ‘/BlogEngine.Web/App_Code/CSCode/Extensions/BreakPost.cs’ use a different language, which is not allowed since they need to be compiled together.”

But you can get this done, here is a very simple way you can try that out,

1) First make two folders in App_code with foldernames as
- CSCode
- VBCode

2) Modify the Web.config with following code:

<compilation debug="false">
 <codeSubDirectories>
 <add directoryName="VBCode" />
 <add directoryName="CSCode" />
 </codeSubDirectories>
</compilation>

In a blog post, F-Secure security researchers report that the number of machines infected by the Downadup worm has skyrocketed from roughly 2.4 million to over 8.9 million in the last four days alone.

Downadup is a malicious worm that “uses computer or network resources to make complete copies of itself,” according to F-Secure. And it may also include code or other malware that damages both a computer and network. The worm also goes by the names “Kido” and “Conflicker.” Details on how it operates and how to remove it are here.

Once executed, Downadup disables a number of system services, including Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows Defender, and Windows Error Reporting. The worm then connects to a malicious server, where it downloads additional malware to install on the infected computer. Computerworld provides a more detailed report on Downadup’s potential dangers.

Since Downadup uses random extension names to avoid detection, Windows users should make sure their security software is set to scan all files, rather than checking on specific extensions, F-Secure recommends.

The alarmingly high number of Downadup infections led Microsoft last Tuesday to enable its anti-malware utility, Microsoft Software Removal Tool (MSRT), to detect the worm. So it’s important that Windows users, if they haven’t already, download the latest Microsoft security patch that went out earlier this week.

In Access, you can limit user entries by forcing users to choose a value from a list control. Office applications use the same functionality in built-in drop-down lists. For instance, the Highlight and Font Color controls on most Formatting toolbars use this flexible tool. Simply click the small triangle to the right of the icon to display a list of choices.

You can create the same type of control for your users in an Excel sheet, but the process isn’t intuitive. The option is in the Data Validation feature. Fortunately, once you know the feature exists, it’s easy to implement. You need only two things: a list and a data entry cell. The following sheet shows a simple drop-down list in an Excel sheet.

Users click the drop-down arrow to display a list of items from A1:A4. If a user tries to enter something that isn’t in the list, Excel rejects the entry. To add this drop-down list to a sheet, do the following:

1. Create the list in cells A1:A4. Similarly, you can enter the items in a single row, such as A1:D4.
2. Select cell E3. (You can position the drop-down list in most any cell or even multiple cells.)
3. Choose Validation from the Data menu.
4. Choose List from the Allow option’s drop-down list. (See, they’re everywhere.)
5. Click the Source control and drag to highlight the cells A1:A4. Alternately, simply enter the reference (=$A$1:$A$4).
6. Make sure the In-Cell Dropdown option is checked. If you uncheck this option, Excel still forces users to enter only list values (A1:A4), but it won’t present a drop-down list.
7. Click OK.

You can add the drop-down list to multiple cells. Select the range of data input cells (step 2) instead of a single cell. It even works for noncontiguous cells. Hold down the Shift key while you click the appropriate cells.

It’s worth noting that the drop-down arrow is visible only when the cell is active.

Chrome OS is a “open source, lightweight operating system”. It won’t be available until the second half of 2010, but the source code will be made available later this year.

At the heart of the OS is Google’s Chrome browser. In fact, the operating system appears to be little more than a secure platform for the browser to run upon. Google says the following: “Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds.”

Some reasons Google Chrome OS will do wonders,

- It is OPEN SOURCE

Chrome OS appears to be based on a Linux kernel with a custom windowing system. It’s worth remembering that windowing/desktop interfaces matter less when you consider this is simply a browser-based operating system designed to get you online and push you towards online applications.

- GOOGLE is taking on MICROSOFT

Google is producing a product that directly competes with Windows. To add insult to injury, it’s open source — the one thing that Microsoft really hates.

By using open source, Google is positioning itself diametrically opposite Microsoft. In some ways, Google had no choice but to embrace open source.

- Chrome OS is just another sign that open source is going for an all-out attack on the netbook arena.

With Microsoft allegedly limiting the power and size of discount Windows XP-licensed netbooks, the door is open for Chrome OS to back better machines.

Some challenges for Google Chrome OS,

- Netbooks aren’t the world

Netbooks may be important, but they remain a tiny part of the world’s PC sales. Google’s bet is predicated on strong demand for weak computers. It also takes advantage of a kink in Microsoft’s armor: MS actually needs to sell its operating systems while Google can, for now, afford to just give Chrome away.

Google is counting on users of small computers not being tied to specific applications and being willing to accept low cost and, perhaps, ease of use over a more familiar and more powerful environment.

- Microsoft can shoot to kill

I’m Steve Ballmer and here’s what I say: Windows 7 NB (for netbooks) will be free through all of 2010. Starting right now. Anything Google can do, Microsoft can–at least theoretically–do better. Google wants to give away a netbook operating system? So can Microsoft.

It will be hard for regulators to complain as Microsoft is now reacting to a powerful competitor’s frontal assault on Windows. And placing and end date on the freebie–which can always be extended–allows MS to charge once Chrome is vanquished.

- Google Docs is the best they can do

Google’s cloud computing strategy so far is “applications lite,” which may be fine for occasional use, just like a netbook, but don’t meet enough needs to be a real solution.

- Compatibility

Compatibility, both hardware and software was the major reason why the world anointed Microsoft its King of Computing.

Compatibility really matters and while Chrome’s world may be complete as far as it reaches, there is always more. That’s why Windows, frustrating as it may be, will prevail. The “20″ in the 80/20 Rule matters a lot more than proponents of “80 is good enough” like to think.
