01022010 number is a palindrome.

For those of you who don’t know what palindrome is :
“A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction.”

“Happy Palindrome Day”

In SSRS, when you export the report in CSV format, you will not get values. (Export Limitations in SSRS)

Solution :

The data renderers, CSV and XML, only show data and not any layout, means it display non-static data.

Data renderers don’t render static data by Default, they only render expressions.
So either change the table to render real data coming from data base or expressions, or change data output option for table cells (only cells which contain dynamic data, not the headers) from “Auto” to “Yes”.

Or
you can control the export behavior on a textbox-by-textbox basis with the DataElementOutput property.You have 3 options to select, Auto (default), Yes, No.

Right click on Report in Visual Studio solution explorer, select view code & then

add <DataElementOutput>Output</DataElementOutput>

After the name of the text boxes which will be filled by dynamic data.

Hope this helps, Let me know if you find any difficulty.

Details about this Eclipse:

* Moon’s shadow will cover the sun & you will get to watch the ‘Ring of Fire’(Annular solar eclipse occurs when the sun and the moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the moon’s shadow is smaller than that of the visible disc of the sun. The covered sun, therefore, appears as a ‘Ring of Fire’, with its rays appearing spread out from the outline of the moon.)

* This is millennium’s longest annular solar eclipse that is between 2001 and 3000, maximum duration of the eclipse would be 11 minutes 08 seconds over the Indian Ocean.

* Last time India saw this ‘Ring of Fire’ was Nov 22, 1965, and it will not be witnessed again before June 21, 2020.

* In India, the eclipse started at around 11 a.m. and ended at around 3:15 p.m. The eclipse first seen in south of Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and then moved obliquely to Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi. It moved to Kerala and ended in Mizoram in the northeast.

The path of the moon’s shadow begun in Africa at 10.44 a.m. and passed through Chad, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. After leaving Africa, the path crossed the Indian Ocean.

The central path then continued into Asia through the extreme southern part of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and China.

Update : My friend Sharanu has wonderfully written about our Solar Eclipse @ Kanyakumari Adventure on his blog post : My Romance with Sun

How are you? Sorry for not updating my blog these 3 months properly, I too got affected by the recession. I had time to read & write but was just too lazy to do anything. Now & then I popped into internet just to check emails & watch movies.

I am still amazed about the way this year went by. Few more days and we will start living in 2010!! I really liked 2009, it was one of the memorable years in my life, health, career & interest all were in good condition. As people say all good things come to an end so too this year .

As everybody does, I too hope the coming year,2010 will be a good year.Hope to blog regularly in the coming year.

Will update this post in another day or two with some more information about 2009, before 2010 begins.

Aate jate khubsoorat awara sadko pe kabhi kabhi itfaq se,
kitne anjaan log mil jate hain,
unme se kuchh log bhool jaate hain, kuchh yaad rah jate hain,
unme se kuchh log bhool jaate hain, kuchh yaad rah jate hain,

awaz ki duniya ke dosto, kal raat kisi jagah pe mujhko,
kis kadar ye hasin khayal mila hai,
rah mein ik reshami rumal mila hai,
kis kadar ye hasin khayal mila hai,
rah mein ik reshami rumal mila hai

jo giraya tha kisi ne jaan kar, jiska ho le jaye wo pahchan kar,
warna main rakh loonga usko apna jaan kar,
kisi husn wale ki nishani maan kar, nishani maan kar

hasnte gaate logon ki baaton hi baaton mein,
kabhi kabhi ik mazak se,
kitne jawan kisse ban jaate hain, un kisson mein chand bhool jaate hain,
chand yaad rah jaate hain,

unme se kuchh log bhool jaate hain, kuchh yaad rah jate hain

Taqdeer mujhpe meharban, jis shuak ki ye dastan hai,

usne bhi shayad ye paigam suna ho, mere geeto mein apna naam suna ho,
usne bhi shayad ye paigam suna ho, mere geeto mein apna naam suna ho,
door baithi ye raaj wo jaan le, meri awaz ko pahchan le,
kaash phir kal raat jaisi barsat ho, aur meri uski kahin mulakat ho, mulakat ho
lambi lambi raaton mein jab neend nahi aati,
kabhi kabhi is phirak se,kitne hasin khwab ban jaate hain,
unmein se kuchh khwab bhool jaate,kuchh yaad rah jaate hain,
unme se kuchh log bhool jaate hain, kuchh yaad rah jate hain

Aate jate khubsoorat awara sadko pe kabhi kabhi itfaq se,
kitne anjaan log mil jate hain, unme se kuchh log bhool jaate hain, kuchh yaad rah jate hain

–contain both abstract methods as well as concrete methods
–can extend another class and implement multiple interfaces
–we can’t achieve multiple inheritance
–allows accessibility modifiers
–can contain fields, constructors
–class Abstract class is must inheritable & its scope is upto derived class

As you all know, Moore’s Law tells us that, the number of transistors on an integrated circuits doubles every two years.

Now the so-called “many core shift” is happening. It’s not a thing of the future and it will change our developers’ life.

What’s the many core shift?

This evolution has reached its physical limits (clock speed, power consumption, etc.).
Instead of building faster and more complex CPUs, the manufacturers started placing more CPUs, read cores, on a chip.

It started 2006 with Intel’s dual cores, today you won’t find a single core desktop machine anymore. High end consumer machines come with quad cores, and servers with 16 cores (delivered as 4 quad cores). Starting 2006 with 2 cores, five years from now we will have between 32 and 128 cores.

What does it mean?

Well, it probably means that today’s software runs a bit faster. Not much, certainly not the 32 times faster a 64 core machine is supposed to be compared to dual core. Why is that? Well, have a look at the following task manager of a 64 core machine:

Now look at your own desktop and count the open applications. Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer, Acrobat Reader, Firefox, Visual Studio? All the applications utilize 1 to two cores and Most of today’s applications simply are not capable of employing these cores appropriately. Consequence: In order to leverage these cores we have to change the way we write our software!

You may ask, do we actually need that kind of processing power? And if so, how do we use it?

For first question the answer is yes, it is needed for Games, Video Conversion, File Compression, Graphics etc.

And for second question we need to know that there is a concept called Multithreading.

And “Most developers have avoided multithreading altogether. And those who did do multithreading probably did it just for optimizations.” So, now is the time we need to have multithreading in the mainstream of application development.

And with that in mind Microsoft is developing Visual Studio 2010. And I believe it will open up new possibilities.

I am really excited to work on Visual Studio 2010 and want to utilize the multi-core.

Let me know what you think about all this.

I have been observing the developments in Processor Technologies, and now I am really excited with the Future of Computing with the shift from single core to many core processor technologies.

As you all know, Moore’s Law tells us that, the number of transistors on an integrated circuits (IC) doubles every two years. Now the so-called “many core shift” is happening. It’s not a thing of the future, it is here already and it will change our developers’ life as we know it today.

What’s the many core shift?

This evolution of doubling the number of transistors on an IC has reached its physical limits (clock speed, power consumption, etc.). Instead of building faster and more complex CPUs, the manufacturers started placing more CPUs, read cores, on a chip.

It all started 2006 with Intel’s dual cores, today you won’t find a single core desktop machine anymore.

High end consumer machines come with quad cores, and servers with 16 cores (packed as 4 quad cores). Starting 2006 with 2 cores, five to six years from now we will have between 32 and 128 cores machines.

I thought to post it here and write something about it.

So now ICICI Bank has "mortgage paper", which is an asset. They can sell the mortgage to anyone they wish. Raj will then be required to pay the purchaser, who will get the benefit of the 6% interest. It's an investment which may (or may not) make more money in the future. A good idea if ICICI needs money immediately.

But old Raj doesn't have the money to pay this mortgage. At the same time, the house value has greatly reduced to Rs 150,000. Raj still owes Rs 199,000.

If Raj defaults on this, ICICI Bank will only be able to recover a portion of their money back. The mortgage paper has now become illiquid (the house can't pay the mortgage). ICICI Bank is now unable to sell it. Why would somebody pay for an asset that guarantees you will lose money?

That mortgage has become a "toxic asset".]

Now i am trying to find out whether it is same with every body else or not.

Let me know about yours.

HTML login control

< input type="text" name="txtUserName" id="txtUserName" class="textBoxes" />

jQuery Rule: Add the below rule into script tag in header & add reference to jquery-1.2.6.js,jquery.validate.js in Head Element

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#frmSelfRegister").validate({
rules: {
txtUserName:
{
required: true,
remote: { type: "post",
url: "Register/IsLoginAvailable" }
},
messages:{

txtUserName: { required: "User Name is Required.",
remote: jQuery.format("{0} is not available.")}
}
});
});

The above validation code executed when the focus changes from txtUserName to some other, it will call IsLoginAvailable method available in the RegisterController, as specified in the url.

Controller Code :

Below code is the one which checks for availability of a username & returns the status to above jQuery Method. The following methods return type is JsonResult because remote method of jQuery accepts the JsonResult object only.

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public JsonResult IsLoginAvailable(FormCollection collection)
{
JsonResult result = new JsonResult();

try
{
ilogIn.Text = this.GetLoginByUsername(collection.Get("txtUserName").
ToString().Trim());

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Helper.ErrLogger(ex.Message);
}

if (ilogIn.Text == collection.Get("txtUserName").ToString())
{
result.Data = false;
}
else
{
result.Data = true;

}
return result;
}

public interface IA
{

string Name { get; set; }
String Adress { get; set; }

}

public interface IB
{

string Name { get; set; }

}

Now, you write an interface -IC which derives from above 2 Interfaces as below,

public interface IA
{

int Id { get; set; }

}

When you are try to do the following, you will get an error saying ‘Ambiguity between IA.Name and IB.Name’.

class Test
{

public void GetSomething()
{
IC objIc = new IC();
Textbox1.Text = objIc.Name();
}

}

It can be solved by upcasting as below.

class Test
{

public void GetSomething()
{
IC objIc = new IC();
Textbox1.Text = ((IA)objIc).Name();
}

}

So today no one in news would talk about Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru the three young men who were hanged on this day near Ferozpur near the present India-Pakistan border. These men never cared about religion and fought for the freedom of the nation.

Indians seem to have forgotten the sacrifice and keep remembering Gandhi. It is definitely an unfortunate thing that people who were not in congress and worked for India’s freedom never got the credit they deserve.Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru shall remain in my heart till I die. These are the people whom the young generation should have as idols. Their sacrifice, their patriotism & their principles, we should never forget them.
