asp.net web application: assembly generation failed referenced assembly does not have a strong name

in my asp.net web application I got this problem when added a new class library into my solution and trying to build the solution:
"assembly generation failed referenced assembly does not have a strong name"

Apparently the solution is to go to the class Project properties: Solution Explorer > right click > properties, click on Signing tab, select "Sign the assembly", then browse the key shared among other projects within the same solution.

if you want something like "22/11/2012 15:00" then use

if you want something like "22/11/2012 3:00 PM" then use
columns.Bound(o => o.MyDateTimeValue).Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt}").Width(120);

c# split multi-line postal address

I have a multi-line postal address (string PostalAddressString) like this:

Address1:12 Garden Street
Address2:
Suburb:Abc
PostCode:123
State:BC
Country:ABCDE

In order to separate details and access them individually i need to do this:


NameValueCollection lines = new NameValueCollection();
string[] TempArray = PostalAddressString.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray());
if (TempArray.Count() > 5 || TempArray[0].ToLower() != "n/a")
{
foreach (string line in TempArray)
{
string[] parts = line.Split(':');
if (line.Length > 0)
lines.Add(parts[0].Trim(), parts[1].Trim());
}

string PostalAddressLine1String = lines.Get("Address Line 1");
string PostalAddressLine2String = lines.Get("Address Line 2");
string PostalSuburbString = lines.Get("Suburb");
string PostalPostCodeString = lines.Get("PostCode");
string PostalStateString = lines.Get("State");
string PostalCountryString = lines.Get("Country");
}

Stimulsoft relax Master Detail table relationships

When I setup master detail table relationship in my report i noticed that the master records which do not have any related detail records will not be shown.

The trick is to set "Print if Detail Empty" property of the master data band to "true"

Asp.Net retrieve Web.config AppSettings in c# code behind

WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["propertyName"]

Telerik RadGrid databinding throws error when open template edit form in insert mode with boolean controls e.g. checkbox

solution is to have a corresponding GridBoundColumn, and set DefaultInsertValue="false" in the column definition

Telerik RadGrid shows second page after opening the insert form

my radgrid uses Tempalte in EditFormSettings. It current contains 2 pages of data.
When I click on Add New Record the command button on top of the grid, the edit form opens correctly in insert mode. However when I look closely at the data, it actually shows the second page, and the page number on the bottom of the grid shows "2".


The solution is to set

tsql rename table and column

--rename a table:
EXEC sp_rename 'OldTableName', 'NewTableName'
--rename a column:
EXEC sp_rename
@objname = 'TableName.OldColumnName',
@newname = 'NewColumnName',
@objtype = 'COLUMN'

c# assign values to object property by property name

Class1 obj= new Class1();
string propertyName = "name1";
string objValue = "";
Type type = obj.GetType();
PropertyInfo prop = type.GetProperty(propertyName );
prop.SetValue(obj, objValue , null);

c# aspnet download file from server side

string text1 = this.Server.MapPath("~/" + [FileFolder]);
if (Directory.Exists(text1))
{
string text2 = text1 + @"\[File Name with extension]";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(text2))
{
FileStream stream1 = new FileStream(text2, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
byte[] buffer1 = new byte[((int)stream1.Length) + 1];
stream1.Read(buffer1, 0, (int)stream1.Length);
stream1.Close();

//Writes the file out the Response object
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"[File Name with extension]\";");
Response.WriteFile(text2, true);
Response.ContentType = "application/x-zip-compressed";
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer1);
Response.End();
}
}
