Repeater with Paging and Sorting Features

Hi all,

We all know our pages need to be created dynamic, .NET provides some good inbuilt controls which does same thing specifically framework 2.0 included lots of handy controls to build you page quickly

I usually pick the Repeater control, to render simple or complex table, why because its very simple and main reason is its faster and light weighted. There are limitation of Repeater, like it does not have inbuilt functionality for Paging and Sorting.

We can add the functionality of Paging and Sorting by our own, I wrote an article on Extended Repeater, having Sorting and Paging support with very less effort. It uses PagedDataSource I am sure its very new to you! But it’s now new it was there as in framework 1.1!

You can find the article here, I have explained all important code logic and also you can download the sample code there.

Create your own shortcut in SQL Management Studio 2008

Hi All,

Shortcut is good way to increase the speed of development and work. SQL Server Management Studio 2008 have numerous shortcuts.

We are writing various SQL statement, few statements are common like, SELECT * FROM [TABLE_NAME] which we are using very frequent. its always tedious job to write SELECT * FROM statement, can’t we create shortcut for that? Yes we can. Here is the steps to create your own shortcut with screenshot may be it helps you to increase productivity.

Step 1: Find the Keyboard setting [Tools – Options – Keyboard]

Step 2: Pick the available Shortcut [Query Shortcuts]

Here you can see the default query shortcuts. Find the available and create your own.

Lets create one shortcut for SELECT Statement

 

Press OK, you are done with your first shortcut. Before we use the shortcut and it get applies we need to restart IDE so our shortcut will get effected.

After restarting IDE, in Query write the table name, select it and apply your shortcut [Ctrl+f1].

You can see it works like SELECT * FROM EmpMaster. Now let’s apply WHERE clause and see if its works or not?

It’s working perfectly. Use shortcuts be more productive.
