Sorting on DataTable using a DataView

DataTable dtUsrs = new DataTable();

dtUsrs.Columns.Add(“User”, typeof(string));

DataView dv = new DataView();

dv.Sort = “User”;

drpAMMM.DataSource = dv;

drpAMMM.DataTextField = “User”;

drpAMMM.DataValueField = “User”;

drpAMMM.DataBind();

Same Old Question….Abstract Class & Interface

Abstract Class: Cannot be instantiated, contract that forces all the subclasses to carry on the same hierarchies or standards

Interface: No Implementation, When we create an interface, we are basically creating a set of methods without any implementation that must be overridden by the implemented classes

A class can implement more than one interface but can only inherit from one abstract class. Since C# doesn’t support multiple inheritance, interfaces are used to implement multiple inheritance.

When we create an abstract class, we are creating a base class that might have one or more completed methods but at least one or more methods are left uncompleted and declared abstract. If all the methods of an abstract class are uncompleted then it is same as an interface. The purpose of an abstract class is to provide a base class definition for how a set of derived classes will work and then allow the programmers to fill the implementation in the derived classes.

Ajax

AJAX is a developer’s dream, because you can:

  • Update a web page without reloading the page
  • Request data from a server – after the page has loaded
  • Receive data from a server – after the page has loaded
  • Send data to a server – in the background

ajax

AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.

AJAX is not a programming language.

AJAX just uses a combination of:

  • A browser built-in XMLHttpRequest object (to request data from a web server)
  • JavaScript and HTML DOM (to display or use the data)

AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging data with a web server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.

SharePoint 2010 Calendar View: Hide End time, Remove ToolTip

Add a CEWP and add the below script as HTML Source.

// Created a new column on xRM Task list that concatenates the
// Due Date and Due Time into a single Date/Time field.
// Use the new Date/Time field in the Calendar view configuration as start/end date
// Use jQuery to:
// – change the monthly calendar time range displays (e.g., 3:30 pm – 3:30 pm)
// such that only a single time displays. There is no begin and end date/time
// field in the xRM Task list. Steve will use the Due Date and Due Time to track his activities.
// – Make the same change to tooltips.
// – link to edit form instead of display form. Return automatically to calendar
// the “populateCalendarEventLinkIntercept” technique came from Mike Smith:
// http://techtrainingnotes.blogspot.com/2010/06/sharepoint-2010-color-coded-calendars.html
// this technique handled all calendar view changes (day-week-month; previous/next)
// except the “n more Items” and “collapse” links when more than 3 items are on a month day.
//
// the setTimeout technique was suggested by Marc Anderson.
// it handles the more/collapse scenario
// load our function to the delayed load list
// but do not do this if page is in “Edit” mode
