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.

Bytes to TeraBytes.

Converting from bytes to terabytes is very easy considering that terabyte = 1024*Gigabyte              = 1024 * 1024 * Megabyte              = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 KiloByte              = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * Byte Query below gives number of documents in a media and the total size of the documents. See how you have used Alias in the query SELECT        [MEDIA] = X.media_id,         [TOTAL] = COUNT(*),       [Size_KB] = SUM (Size_MB) FROM       (       SELECT              d.edoc_id,              d.media_id ,             SIZE_MB =  (                         CAST(ISNULL(d.Size1,0) AS DECIMAL) +      ...

Adding a linked Server using the GUI

Adding a linked Server using the GUI There are two ways to add another SQL Server as a linked server.  Using the first method, you need to specify the actual server name as the “linked server name”.  What this means is that everytime you want to reference the linked server in code, you will use the remote server’s name.  This may not be beneficial because if the linked server’s name changes, then you will have to also change all the code that references the linked server.  I like to avoid this method even though it is easier to initially setup.  The rest of the steps will guide you through setting up a linked server with a custom name: To add a linked server using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), open the server you want to create a link from in object explorer. In SSMS, Expand Server Objects -> Linked Servers -> (Right click on the Linked Server Folder and select “New Linked Server”) Add New Linked Server The “New Linked Server” Dialog a...

JavaScript Interview Questions

This is a compilations of all the interview questions related to Javascript that i have encountered.  Q: Difference between window.onload and onDocumentReady? A: The onload event does not fire until every last piece of the page is loaded, this includes css and images, which means there’s a huge delay before any code is executed. That isnt what we want. We just want to wait until the DOM is loaded and is able to be manipulated. onDocumentReady allows the programmer to do that. Q:  What is the difference between == and === ? A: The == checks for value equality, but === checks for both type and value. Few examples: "1" == 1; // value evaluation only, yields true "1" === 1; // value and type evaluation, yields false "1" == true; // "1" as boolean is true, value evaluation only, yields true "1" === false; // value and type evaluation, yields false Q: What does “1″+2+5 evaluate to? What about 5 + 2 +...
