When you convert existing asp.net project to 4.5 framework , you will notice that all the UI elements have blue border around them

Making these changes in web.config will solve the problem

<pages enableSessionState=”true” enableViewState=”true” enableViewStateMac=”true” validateRequest=”true” viewStateEncryptionMode=”Always” controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion=”3.5” clientIDMode=”AutoID”></pages>

and

<compilation defaultLanguage=”c#” debug=”true” batch=”false” targetFramework=”4.5” >

In today’s day and age we no longer keep our files and resources on one computer. I have 3 laptops, 2 smart phone and tablet. I have been looking for a good intuitive service which can share all my bookmarks across all these devices. Finally I found pocket, this app is amazing. These guys were previously known as “Read it later”. They have amazing iphone, ipad app and very cool chrome plug-in.

In SSRS when you bind a stored proc, it does not always auto populate the column headers. You may end up adding all the columns manually. There is a quick work around for this.

In your stored proc, use EXEC(” your sql query”) instead of storing the text in Variable and then executing the variable. SSRS plays nice if all your columns are laid out in your EXEC statment.

For example this approach will not detect col1 and col2 in SSRS

— Stored proc
Declare @sql varchar(max)
SET @sql = ”Select col1,col2 from table’
exec @sql

This will

— Stored proc
EXEC(‘Select col1,col2 from table’)

In my daily routine, I use C# as the main language to code. Those from C or C++ world may know what I am talking about.

bool flag1 = true;

if(flag1 = false)

{

Console.WriteLine(flag1);

}

This is called right hand comparison. Instead I try to follow Left-hand comparison
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_conventions#Left-hand_comparisons) in which you always put Value on the left hand side of the variable to compare. i.e.if ( false = flag1) then …

This code will always give you compile time error so there is no scope of accidental assignment error.
