2007-05-24 09:53:00
Well, this snippet will add a little bit of AI to your textbox, suppose you are searching and enter the query in a regular text box, how about the text box suggesting you the words from your database?The answer is here...im using a text box and enable its Auto Complete Source property to custom and programatically add the custom text. But now here is the catch the text im adding is not that simple im using fields from database and adding them into the textBox's custom word list.//traverse each record and store the value for the FirstName field.foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["Contacts"].Rows) { textBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add(dr[ "FirstName"].ToString());}

Using wild cards while searching...
2007-05-24 09:52:00
After surfing for hours and reading a lot i found out how to use wildcards in SQL using c# 2005.The basic idea is to use % ( percent sign ) as a wild card which is similar to * (as in DOS).The % returns all values that fit the criteria.e.g. if we write '%a' it returns all values starting from the alphabet a. Similarly, if we write '%a%'- returns all the values which contain the alphabet a. But the question is how to use wildcards as parameters in sql statements in c# 2005.public static DataSet search(string name) { string conString = "Data Source=XPSSQLExpress;Initial Catalog= AddressBook;Integrated Security= True;"; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString); con.Open(); string query = "SELECT FirstName,Phone,Mobile FROM Contacts WHERE FirstName LIKE @Name"; SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);//the parameter value is cancatenated with % sda.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue ("@Name", "%" + name + "%...

Rss Reader Revised
2007-05-24 09:51:00
My Rss Reader now includes an embedded web control, it reduces the burden of reading the feed in other IE window.I have used the URI class, it took some time to generate the URI out of string, if u have the same problem the solution is simple:download the project here.e.g if u some uri in a Link Text box(actually a string) u want to convert it into URIgo on as follows:private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e){Uri temp = new Uri(e.Link.LinkData.ToString());webBrowse r1.Url = temp;}

DataSet vs. DataReader
2007-05-24 09:51:00
DataSet vs. DataReader To determine whether to use the DataSet or the DataReader when you design your application, consider the level of functionality that is needed in the application.Use the DataSet in order to do the following with your application:Navigate between multiple discrete tables of results.Manipulate data from multiple sources (for example, a mixture of data from more than one database, from an XML file, and from a spreadsheet).Exchange data between tiers or using an XML Web service. Unlike the DataReader, the DataSet can be passed to a remote client.Reuse the same set of rows to achieve a performance gain by caching them (such as for sorting, searching, or filtering the data).Perform a large amount of processing per row. Extended processing on each row returned using a DataReader ties up the connection serving the DataReader longer than necessary, impacting performance.Manipulate data using XML operations such as Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT tra...
