Localize AjaxControlToolkit by yourself(code.mareoblo.pl)

submitted by elfy(230) 2 years, 7 months ago

In my projects I often have to implement user interface in two languages: English and Polish. Although localization in .NET is quite easy, one thing was annoying to me: AjaxControlToolkit doesn’t support Polish language. When my user choose Polish language on the webpage then he still see in Calendar control ‘Today’ word instead Polish version (‘Dzisiaj’). Same thing for several other controls, for example PasswordStrength control. So one day I decide to correct this once and for all. Below I will show you how to localize Ajax Control Toolkit. To localize AjaxControlToolkit to our langauge (Culture) we will have to do few simple steps. In below examples I use library version for .NET 2.0 but the same steps are in case of Ajax Control Toolkit for .NET 3.5 read more...

Visual Studio: Automatically increment assembly build version(code.mareoblo.pl)

submitted by elfy(230) 2 years, 8 months ago

I always wanted to have automatic build version increment for my apps and libraries to avoid setting it manually again and again. Additionally there should be support inside Visual Studio and possibility for custom settings because I like the “date sigining” where 3 last fields are just YYYY-MM-DD. A dream come true ;) in form of Build Version Increment add-in for Visual Studio 2005/2008. read more...

C#: Insert NULL values into SQL Server database(binaryelves.wordpress.com)

submitted by elfy(230) 3 years, 4 months ago

To insert into database NULL value from C# code we can’t use just simple declaration for empty string like string textToInsert = “”; This will insert into database just empty string instead NULL value. To handle this case you have to use special SQL type: System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlString.Null See example. read more...

C#: WinForms - How to expand dynamically width of ToolStripProgressBar(binaryelves.wordpress.com)

submitted by elfy(230) 3 years, 4 months ago

I often would like to have ProgressBar (hidden and shown only while some background application work is doing) in my StatusStrip. My expectation is the ProgressBar should always fill entire available free space in StatusStrip, when form is Maximizing, Resizing etc. This kind of behaviour can’t be set in Visual Studio Designer with control properties settings. read more...

Count number of lines in all stored procedures in current database(binaryelves.wordpress.com)

submitted by elfy(230) 3 years, 9 months ago

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 I almost finished my current C# project where I have created a lot of stored procedures. By a lot I mean almost 200 :) (I know it is a personal feeling :)) Few days ago I was just curious how many lines I wrote in my stored procedures. To satisfy my curiosity I wrote T-SQL code which show me the truth ;) Blank lines with just Enter pressed are not counted. Score for my project database is: 142 stored procedures, 9419 lines (most of all 537 lines in one SP) read more...
