It’s a Great News from Microsoft that they had given provision to see the source code of the .Net Framework libraries. It had been announced on October and now it has been released , and its only for VS2008 . for detailed view you can see that in Scott’s Blog

What are the stages in Software release, what does it actually mean?

Alpha: Alpha refers to the very early release, which is typically very buggy and only released to few people internal to the organization. It is helpful, in development,

Beta: Its is the first version released out side the Organization with bugs.

Gamma or Release Candidate:
At this phase the product is also most completed and up to release with very minimum bugs. When the product reached this stage it means that, there won’t be any further change or update in the code

Gold or Release: It’s the final finished product, with only few fixes. After this stage the product will be stable for release in the market

Getting the client browser / system details through ASP.NET

HttpBrowserCapabilities bc=new HttpBrowserCapabilities();
bc=Request.Browser;
Response.Write(bc.Cookies.ToString());
Response.Write(bc.ActiveXControls.ToString());
Response.Write(bc.Platform.ToString());

Here HttpBrowserCapabilities is an class which is available in the system.web namespace ,first create an object and assign the client browser to it then we can get the details of the client browser with this the different property available

This is used to get the client system name

Using shared variables in Crystal report

1. Create a formula in mainreport as @iammainformula with shared variable declared as Shared stringVar amtword := {?amntInWords};

2. Create a formula in subreport as @iamsubformaula with the shared variable with same name as we declared in the main report
Shared stringVar amtword ;
amtword;

now we can access the value from the main report in the sub report

How do i learn from my Job ?

Many of well-wishers and friends had advised me to learn from the present job and try to go for a better job. At the beginning I am very confused about “Learning the Job “, because I thought learning the technology is enough to grow up in the carrier but that’s not a true apart from learning that, there are lot of other things are there to learned. When I grew up in my carrier I started understanding the real meaning for “Learning the Job”. So I thought of sharing my view with you all. Basically, learning means what we grasped from the work which we do or what we grasped from the environment which we are. Just a very small list that I used to follow

1. Learn professionalism both in the work the and culture
2. Learn the best use of Technologies
3. Learn to Update yourself with latest technology and news
4. Learn how to Speak
5. Learn how to write and maintain documents
6. Learn how to handle the situations
7. Learn the real Business
8. Learn how to present yourself
9. Learn how to motivate other and to get self-motivated
10. Learn how to deal with peoples
11. Learn the way to analyze the situations
12. Learn how to build a team
13. Learn your Duties
14. Learn to take responsibility
15. Learn to plan and Execute
16. Learn to Manage Time
17. Learn to make good relation with your co-workers
18. Learn how to earn
19. Learn how to set a target and focus on that
20. Learn all the bad things in your profession which will help you to do the good things
21. Learn to be loyal
22. and finally learn to LOVE your work


These are all a very small list which I had given. There are lot to learn .Learning the work and the work culture will vary from the company to company and the locality to locality and that to depend on the team which you work .don’t scold me if there is any grammatical mistake .sorry .hahaha

Generating KeyPair using SN.EXE

The Strong Name tool helps to sign assemblies with strong names. SN Stands for Strong Name
The Strong Name Consists of the Assembly Identification like Assembly Name ,Version ,Culture ,Public Key, and digital signature

The Public Key can be generated by using the .Net Framework tool (SN.EXE).

The key pair generated can be used for different assembly
The Strong name solves the versioning problem and naming problem
The user can deploy an assembly with the same name and same key pair in the GAC just by changing the version number

The simple syntax to generate strong name
Go to visual studio 2003 Command prompt and type the following command to generate the Key pay

Sn – K C:\Strongname.snk
When you type enter the strong name file will be generated in the specified location
To export the key from 1 file format to another
Sn – o C:\Strongname.snk C:\Strongname.txt
Sn – p C:\Strongname.snk C:\Strongname.txt

To Verify
Sn – v Sample.dll
It will verify for the strong name signature in the assembly if you put –vf instead of –v it’s a force verification

Protecting your SAM Database

How to I protect my system. How to make my PC more secure on windows environment there are few common way we can protect our PC

By setting the BIOS password.
By Setting Windows password
By using system Hardware key

By using SYSKEY Utility.

I know most of will know the first 3 way of protecting and the fourth is quite different. Even thought SYSKEY Utility. is part of our OS we are not used to it . Let me explain about it .first we will know where this SYSKEY Utility resides inside our OS it’s in C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. This utility is used to protect the System Account Manager Database (SAM) to run this utility go to run and type syskey

Fig1
The SYSKEY Utility will open now

Fig 2

Ok what is SAM what it does, this is the place where the OS will maintain the system username and password in encrypted format, now what the SYSKEY utility will do . it will move the decryption key to the floppy disk so that if you put the Floppy disk, only the system will open . Lets explain what’s there in the fig 2 here we have the Encryption Disabled and Encryption Enabled.

When you select the Encryption Disabled it will not encrypt the syskey if you select Encryption Enabled it will encrypt. After that clink the update button

Fig 3
In this screen we have the two options first the password setup which the user can give for their own or else we can select the system generated password. Again here we have the two way of storing the password. When you select the store startup key on floppy disk. The encrypted key will be stored in the floppy or if you select the store startup key locally it will be stored in the local system itself. This one of the most secure way to protect your system the data.
