Every variable has a data type that determines what values can be stored in the variable. C# is a type-safe language, meaning that the C# compiler guarantees that values stored in variables are always of the appropriate type. The common language runtime includes a Common Type System (CTS) that defines a set of built-in data types that you can use to define your variables.

When you define a variable, you need to choose the right data type for your variable. The data type determines the allowable values for that variable, which, in turn, determine the operations that can be performed on that variable.

    Memorial Day is the informal start of summer for folks in the United States. In celebration, we’ve intended a big party and you are invited! Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the very last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country.

    Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the courage of the brave.

    I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were suitable on Decoration Day.  I have rather felt that the flag should be at the acme, because those whose dying we honour rejoiced in seeing it where their courage placed it.  We honour them in a joyous, thankful, glorious commemoration of what they did.

    An Ajax framework is a framework that helps to develop Web applications that use Ajax, a collection of technologies used to build dynamic Web pages on the client side. Data is read from the server or sent to the server by JavaScript requests. However, some processing at the server side may be required to handle requests, such as finding and storing the data. This is accomplished more easily with the use of a framework dedicated to process Ajax requests. The purpose of the framework is to provide the Ajax engine and associated server and client-side functions.

    Types of frameworks

    Ajax frameworks can be loosely grouped into categories according to the features they offer and the skills required of the user:

    Direct Ajax frameworks

    These frameworks require HTML, CSS and Ajax expertise: a developer is expected to author pages directly in HTML, and framework APIs deal directly with HTML elements. Cross-browser APIs are provided for a variety of purposes, commonly including communications, DOM manipulation, event handling, and sizing/moving/animating HTML elements.

    These frameworks are generally smaller. They are commonly used for a Web site such as a shopping experience, but not for a Web application such as Web-based email, at least not without further frameworks layered on top.

    Indirect Ajax frameworks

    These frameworks are based on compiler technology, where, instead of writing direct Ajax and JavaScript, a high-level language is used instead, along with a compiler that turns the high-level language into JavaScript. Indirect frameworks therefore require knowledge of the high-level language, CSS and HTML, and do not necessarily require a great deal of Ajax or JavaScript expertise. The Indirect frameworks are typically accompanied by convenient libraries, modules and classes that take care of communications, DOM manipulation including HTML element manipulation, and event handling.

    The advantages of Indirect Ajax frameworks – compilation to JavaScript are as follows:

    • The developer can effectively create their own Ajax framework using programming concepts and techniques appropriate to the high-level language (e.g. modules and classes) which are simply not present in the JavaScript language.
    • The to-JavaScript compiler can enforce strong type-checking and definition rules that standalone JavaScript does not
    • A developer can program the web front-end in the same programming language as that which the server-side code is written in.
    • The high-level web widget sets of the Indirect Ajax frameworks have far more in common with Desktop widgets than they do with “traditional” web development.
    • The framework, through the compiler, can create code that takes care of browser incompatibilities at run-time, and thus can present a common browser-independent API to the developer.

    Indirect Ajax frameworks have distinct and significant advantages:

    • Compared to Ajax component frameworks, the developer can use the available base class widgets to create their own widgets, in the high-level language with which they are familiar, instead of trying to get to grips with JavaScript.
    • The developer is therefore neither burdened by the bloat of Ajax component frameworks nor bound by their rigidity.
    • The developer has both the advantages of the Ajax component frameworks, and their associated widgets, as well as the advantages of the freedom of Direct Ajax frameworks.
    • Indirect Ajax frameworks can be used to even greater effect in combination with a Server-driven framework (typically using JSONRPC or XMLRPC).

    Interestingly, Python and Ruby are a good match for compilation to JavaScript, and a far better match than Java, because Java (and Java Virtual Machines) lacks some of the run-time dynamic capabilities of JavaScript, Python and Ruby. Fortunately for Java (and for GWT), it’s Java that is less dynamically capable than JavaScript. The “class” capability of these high-level languages can be emulated using JavaScript “prototype”.

    Ajax component frameworks

    These frameworks offer pre-built components, such as tabbed panes, which automatically create and manage their own HTML. Components are generally created via JavaScript or XML tags, or by adding special attributes to normal HTML elements. These frameworks are generally larger, and intended for web applications rather than web sites.

    Some component frameworks require the developer to have extensive HTML/CSS/Ajax experience and to do cross-browser testing. For example, grids, tabs, and buttons may be provided, but user input forms are expected to be authored directly in HTML/CSS and manipulated via Ajax techniques. Other frameworks provide a complete component suite such that only general XML and/or JavaScript abilities are required.

    Ajax component frameworks can enable more rapid development than direct Ajax frameworks, but with less control, hence it is key that an Ajax component framework provides the following:

    • Customization APIs, e.g., an event that fires when the user stops editing within a grid
    • Skinning facilities, where appearance can be changed without affecting behavior or layout
    • Programmatic control, e.g., dynamically adding tabs or dynamically creating components based on user data
    • Extensibility—creation of new components based on other components, so that the benefits of a component-based framework are not lost

    Server-driven Ajax frameworks

    Several frameworks offer a server-side component-based development model with some degree of Ajax support.

    Components are created and manipulated on the server using a server-side programming language. Pages are then rendered by a combination of server-side and client-side HTML generation and manipulation. User actions are communicated to the server via Ajax techniques, server-side code manipulates a server-side component model, and changes to the server component model are reflected on the client automatically.

    These frameworks offer familiarity and efficiency for server-side developers at the possible expense of power and performance. Ajax frameworks that handle presentation completely within the browser may offer greater responsiveness if they handle more user interactions without server involvement. In a server-driven model, some UI interactions can react slowly, for example when an input field is dynamically enabled based on server-requests. Furthermore, server-dependent Ajax frameworks can not offer offline support. The approach is still popular for situations where the benefits of a full Ajax architecture can’t be captured or where server interaction is needed anyway.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_framework

    Extending a framework may require the developer to understand which parts of the presentation are handled on the client vs. on the server, and to code in JavaScript/Ajax as well as server-side code.

    • ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 RTM: January 23, 2007
    • ASP.NET AJAX 3.5: November 19, 2007 (as part of ASP.NET 3.5)

    The next version, ASP.NET AJAX 4.0; will be part of the ASP.NET 4.0 framework release.

    Browser support

    ASP.NET AJAX runs on the following browsers:

    • Microsoft Internet Explorer (> 6.0)
    • Mozilla Firefox (> 1.5)
    • Opera (> 9.0)
    • Apple Safari (> 2.0)

    ASP.NET AJAX Suite

    At present, the ASP.NET AJAX suite consists of the following components and packages:

    • Microsoft Ajax Library 3.5: It is a JavaScript library that provides the client-side features of the ASP.NET AJAX framework. Integrated in ASP.NET 3.5, the library is also available as a separate download for use in other environments, such as PHP.
    • A server framework: It is included in ASP.NET 3.5 for building Ajax-enabled ASP.NET server controls. These components are also available for ASP.NET 2.0 in a separate package called ASP.NET 1.0 Extensions.
    • ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Templates: It is a package with a set of Visual Studio templates for building ASP.NET AJAX applications with ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2008.
    • ASP.NET AJAX Preview: It is a package with the new features that will be part of the future versions of the framework.
    • Ajax Control Toolkit

    Microsoft Ajax Library

    The Microsoft Ajax Library is a JavaScript library that provides the features for the client portion of the ASP.NET AJAX framework.

    • Components: The library provides an infrastructure to build either visual or non-visual JavaScript components. A global JavaScript object Sys.Application is responsible for managing the lifecycle of client components.
    • JavaScript extensions: It is an enhanced type system is introduced to emulate object-oriented constructs such as namespaces, classes and interfaces; and to perform reflection on client types.
    • Abstraction API: It is common operations on the DOM (retrieving elements, setting styles and other manipulations) are automatically translated by the library into browser-specific calls.
    • Ajax: It is a set of client components is provided to handle Ajax requests.
    • Application Services: It is the library that allows accessing the ASP.NET Membership, Authentication, Roles and Profile services from the client side.

    Recently, new features have been announced as part of the ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 release:

    • Template Engine: It allows displaying data on the client side by using HTML templates and a custom binding notation. This approach avoids performing page rendering on the server side.
    • Declarative instantiation of client components: It allows registration, instantiation and configuration of client components using markup code, without writing any imperative JavaScript code.
    • Live Bindings: It synchronizes element properties.
    • Command Bubbling

    The UpdatePanel Control

    The UpdatePanel is an ASP.NET server control that updates portions a web page without reloading it. Through a mechanism called asynchronous postback, the HTML for the region of the page wrapped by the control is sent by the server asynchronously through an Ajax request.

    The ASP.NET controls that have been specified as content in an UpdatePanel are able to cause either synchronous (traditional) or asynchronous postbacks, by means of triggers.

    A trigger is an event coming from an ASP.NET control that causes an UpdatePanel to refresh its contents. Through triggers, an asynchronous postback can be started also by controls that are declared outside the region of the ASP.NET page wrapped by the UpdatePanel control.

    Script Controls and Extenders

    The server portion of the ASP.NET AJAX framework introduces two categories of ASP.NET server controls for adding client capabilities to server controls.

    An Extender is used to add client functionality to an existing ASP.NET control, without the need to create a new server control. A Script Control is a standalone ASP.NET control that offers both server and client functionality.

    For over a year at the moment, a lot of of us have been looking for indicators of signs the financial system is improving. Those in the IT industry have been no exception. However, people wondered if it really subjected if they had a certification? The 2009 Annual Survey carried out by certmag.com presented incredibly interesting facts from over 40,000 respondents in over 150 countries worldwide.

    “You have to have a skill — cosmetology, technology, or auto mechanics — that will count toward a certification.”

    Highlights from the survey:

    1. Many respondents reported receiving a salary raise after earning their most recent certification. About 30% reported a 10-20% raise, although the majority put their raise in the 5% or less category, which is not bad for a sector where many took pay cuts or had zero pay raises in 2009.
    2. Over 67% earned at least one certification in 2009, confirming that certifications are definitely valued by employers and employees alike.
    3. More than 30% added more than two certifications to their belt this year. This was a substantial increase from 11.4% in 2008.
    4. 96% of respondents from the top 5 countries with the highest salaries said they were certified.
    5. Certification trends for network and security administration continues to be a growing trend within the IT industry.

    LINQ to SQL offers a runtime infrastructure for managing relational data as objects without losing the potential to query. It does this by translating LINQ queries into SQL for execution by the database, and after that translating the tabular results back into the defined objects. Any application is then free to use the objects, while LINQ to SQL continues to track changes automatically in the background. The main objectives of LINQ to SQL are as follows:

    • LINQ to SQL is designed to be non-intrusive to an application.
    • LINQ to SQL applications are easy to get started.

    Both, the LINQ to SQL runtime infrastructure and design time tools drastically decrease the workload for the database application developer. Since LINQ to SQL is language doubter, any language built to offer LINQ can use it to allow access to information stored in relational databases.

    Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that attachs native data querying capabilities to .NET languages. Microsoft LINQ defines a set of method names, alongside with translation rules from so called query expressions to expressions using these method names, lambda expressions and anonymous types. These can be used to project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML (XLINQ), relational database, and third party data sources. Other uses, which make the most of query expressions as a universal framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, incorporate the construction of event handlers or monadic parsers. Many of the concepts that LINQ has introduced were initially tested in Microsoft’s Cω research project. LINQ was released as a part of .NET Framework 3.5 on November 19, 2007. [[Wikipedia]]

    Yet again we find ourselves trapped in the HOLIDAY Season. It is indeed extraordinary time of year when we connect with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the shopping mall. We usually do this in our family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper come out from the shopping mall, then we go after her, in very much the similar fortitude as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.

    The color of springtime is in the flora, the color of winter is in the thoughts. In seed time discover, in harvest educate, in winter take pleasure in. Winter is the period in which natives aim to stay the house as lukewarm as it was in the summer, when they criticize about the heat. Antithesis says that in a positive distant land the cold is so strong that words freeze up as soon as they are expressed, and after some time melt and become clear, so that words speak in winter go unheard until the subsequently summer.

    Whatever I said, there is a point and a large body of earlier research again and again has found that people born in December, January and February are, on average, less educated, less intelligent, less healthy and lower paid than people born in other seasons. Buckles and Hungerman also mentioned that there might be a “prom babies” effect, with winter births occurring nine moths after end-of-year school celebrations.

    You will just have to study a lot of new IT certification candidates convey dissatisfaction at the fact that, for numerous programs, they can register to take their exams by using either Pearson VUE or Thomson Prometric. However, what is the difference between these two IT certification exam registrars, this post will give you the relevant facts and a personal opinion as to which is better.

    With reference to IT certification registration and delivery, there exist two chief providers:

    1. Pearson Virtual University Enterprises (VUE): http://pearsonvue.com
    2. Thomson Prometric: http://www.prometric.com

    There is no dissimilarity between VUE and Prometric centers at all. Some vendors have selected a designated exam provider, while others co-exist in both exam providers. At present, VUE is the exclusive exam provider for Cisco, Oracle, Citrix, American College, and VMWare. At present, Prometric is the exclusive exam provider for Microsoft, Apple, IBM, and Nortel. Some vendors who use both VUE and Prometric as exam providers are CompTIA, Adobe, Novell, and EXIN.

    Exams are developed by the vendors as a result there are no differences in the exams for vendors who co-exist across both testing providers.

    However, you have the liberty to decide a testing provider on an exam-by-exam basis provided that the exam vendor is not exclusive with one testing provider. Taking a certification exam at one testing provider does not force you to take other exams with that identical provider.

    They both give the same versions of the tests. There is no difference. It just depends on which testing centers are in your area. If they are both in your area, then it does not subject.

    However, I would recommend once you pick one testing center for Microsoft, you should stick with them, since you have got MCP account setup. I have heard stories of people taking one test with VUE, and another with Prometric and end up having two MCP IDs with one test taken in each, instead on just one MCP ID with two tests taken.

    You can register to take your exam by either calling or visiting the VUE or Prometric Web site. Testing centers are affiliated with VUE, Prometric, or both.

    Now it’s time for my opinion. In my 9 years of working in IT, I have been affiliated with a significant number of training centers/IT certification exam providers. Therefore, I have seen how Prometric and VUE work from both the test-taker’s point of view as well as from the exam administrator’s point of view.

    Almost without exception, I have had far better fortune dealing with VUE instead of I have with Prometric. As far as the reliability of their exam engine is concern, VUE has it all over Prometric, in my opinion. The only differences you will find is the quality of chairs, computers, desks, lighting, cooling, etc. The test pool is the same.

    One inconvenience I have experienced with taking IT certification exams with both Prometric and VUE is that you have to keep up two separate profiles. Therefore, keeping your exam history organized can occasionally become difficult. I found VUE is a lot easier to register.


    What Is a Voucher

    A voucher is simply a way of paying for your exam. It’s a number that has an expiration date and is redeemable for one exam at a testing center. Our exam vouchers are sold at discount prices, which means that you are paying much less than the full cost of the exam when you pay with a voucher.


    What’s the difference between Prometric and VUE vouchers?

    Prometric and VUE are two exam companies and both have testing centers worldwide. Some organizations’ exams, such as Cisco and Microsoft, are delivered only by Prometric or only by VUE. Other exams are delivered by both Prometric and VUE. The exams themselves are exactly the same, regardless of which testing company delivers them.

    Our Prometric exam vouchers are only redeemable with Prometric and likewise our VUE exam vouchers are only redeemable with VUE. If you could use a Prometric or a VUE voucher for your exam, find the Prometric or VUE testing center closest to you by using our Prometric Testing Center Locator and our VUE Testing Center Locator to help choose what type of voucher you need.

    How can I order test vouchers

    New customers may order vouchers through our online store or by phone. Return customers have the option of participating in our Voucher Order Direct (VOD) program. To place a VOD order, simply send an email requesting the voucher and quantity that you desire and we will bill you through your most recent payment method. Please be sure to include “VOD” in the email subject line.


    How soon can you expect my exam vouchers?

    Exam vouchers will be processed and shipped within 1 business day or less. Usually, vouchers are emailed to you within a few minutes of ordering during regular business hours. For online orders, you will receive an immediate email message confirming that we have received your order.


    Are the exam vouchers transferable?

    Yes, exam vouchers are only sent to the purchaser and are not assigned to any one person. You can give a voucher to your students or employees so that they can take their exams. You have no need for expense reports because you make one payment to us.

    Can you use one voucher for more than one exam?

    No, a voucher only permits you to take one exam only. It does not cover retakes if you do not pass the exam. However, if the vouchers explicitly state they have a free retake, you can go for it.
