Time out issue

When your app runs into a timeout on a database operation the error message may lead you in a wrong direction to fix things. Which happened to me so this is my little index to the docs.
A sqlConnection has a ConnectionTimeout property. It  is a property which determines the maximum number of seconds your code will wait for a connection to the database to open. It is set in the connectionstring to the database
data source=BROCHIS;initial catalog=Indato;integrated security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=60;
Opening the connection does not do anything in the database yet. That is handled by a SqlCommand, which could be part of a SqlDataAdapter. The SqlCommand has aCommandTimeOut. This is a settable property which determines the maximum number of seconds the command is given to execute the sql. By default this is 30 seconds. When you perform something costly in the database this is the one whose value you’ll have to change.
SqlCommand cmd;
if (bigJob)
   cmd.CommandTimeout = 60;
For both properties a value of 0 indicates to wait forever. Both properties also apply to non sqlserver database operations. They are defined in IdbConnection and IdbCommand.

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 +...

Lookup!!

LOOKUP As the name suggests, Excel gives us the option to lookup for a number or text in a specific area which needs to be stated. If the value is found the corresponding value or text is returned The syntax for LOOKUP is as follows; =LOOKUP( lookup_value , lookup_vector , result_vector )       In the diagram, column D contains varying salaries, against which there is a company car in column E which corresponds to each salary. For example, a £20030 salary gets a Golf, a £35000 salary gets a Scorpio. A LOOKUP formula can be used to return whatever car is appropriate to a salary figure that is entered. In this case, the lookup_value is the cell where the salary is entered (B13), the lookup_vector is the salary column (D3:D11), and the result_vector is the car column (E3:E11). Hence the formula; =LOOKUP(B13,D3:D11,E3:E11) Typing 40000 in cell B13 will set the lookup_value. LOOKUP will search through the lookup_vector to find the matching salary, and return th...
