OOPs...

OOPs or Object Oriented Programming is an approach that puts object at the center of programming model. An object is a self contained entity that has a state and behaviour. State is described by fields and properties, while behavior is defined by methods and events. Object is an instance of a class. 

A class acts like a blueprint for the object. It defines behavior of object of that type.So all objects of type Vehicle will have the same behavior.

Vehicle class will have the properties - 'color' , 'weight', 'model', 'make' . Properties are characteristic shared by all objects of a particular class.  Methods are actions of an object - 'start', 'stop'

Constructors are special kinds of methods, used to initialize objects. It executes automatically when a class is instantiated

Access modifies helps in controlling the visibilty of a class.
* Public allows the property or methods to be called outside the class
* Private fields and methods cannot be used outside the class
* Protected members are accessible from within the class, or any code derived from it

To fully understand the concept, lets consider another example
public class Employee               //class definition
    {
        private string _name ;        // fields

        public Employee()            //constructor
        {
           _name = "Test";
        }

        public AddEmployee()      //method
        {
           //code to add employee
        }
}

Here Employee is a class which is public. We can access all the methods and properties of this class. For convenience we have only created one method and one property, a class may have more than 1.

We can create an instance of this class as follows:
Employee emp1 = new Employee();

Here, emp1 is the object of this class and will have all the features of this class. So emp1 has a name which can be accessed as : emp1.name  Similarly, AddEmployee() method can be accessed using emp1.AddEmployee()

 OOPs helps in modular programming and understanding classes and objects is the 1st step towards it.

Do's and Don't SQL

Do's: Writing comments whenever something is not very obvious, as it won’t impact the performance.  (--) for single line  (/*…*/) to mark a section Use proper indentation Use Upper Case for all SQL keywords. SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, INNER JOIN, AND, OR, LIKE. Use BEGIN... END block for multiple statements in conditional code  Use Declare and Set in beginning of Stored procedure Create objects in same database where its relevant table exists otherwise it will reduce network performance. Use PRIMARY key in WHERE condition of UPDATE or DELETE statements as this will avoid error possibilities. If User table references Employee table than the column name used in reference should be UserID where User is table name and ID primary column of User table and UserID is reference column of Employee table. Use select column name instead of select * Use CTE (Common Table Expression); its scope is limited to the next statement in SQL query, instead of...

SQL Server 2008 - Inline Variable Assignment

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 brings in a new feature of 'Declaring and Assigning' a variable all in a single line. Earlier, while using SQL 2005 and earlier versions, we had to declare a variable before assigning it. This feature is explained in detail below. In SQL 2005 and earlier versions we had to write: Declare @age int Declare @name nvarchar(25) Declare @date date Set @age = 25 Set @name = "Garry" Set @date = GETDATE() With SQL 2008 we can combine both these statements to write Declare @age int = 25 Declare @name nvarchar(25) Declare @date @date = GETDATE() Advantage : This helps us to write less code, yet get the same functionality. Even though this feature has been available it is not being used in many projects because of backward compatibility issue. If the same code is being used on both 2005 and 2008 server we would prefer writing in a format compatible to both. Do share with us :  Would you like to use this new method? If not, why?
