Use Dynamic stylesheet class for messages in Asp.Net

abhimjoshi — Fri, 02 May 2008 10:46:00 +0000

Hi,

In the web application, some times we need to use a message style for
only one Label, like, suppose if our data has been added successfully, we display
message like ‘Records has been added successfully’. So, depend on
system’s different situation, we have to display label message with style color
combination.

So, Here you can find the solution. By it, you can display your message
with sytle as per your system’s situation.

Just copy and paste the style script and copy C# method in your page.

You can find it here…

(Download these images for stylesheet)

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblMessage.Text = “Records has been Added Successfully.”;
this.SetStyle(lblMessage, MessageType.Info);
}

private void SetStyle(Label objLabel, MessageType msgType)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(objLabel.Text.Trim()))
objLabel.CssClass = “”;
else
{
switch (msgType)
{
case MessageType.Error:
objLabel.CssClass = “MessageError”;
break;
case MessageType.Info:
objLabel.CssClass = “MessageInfo”;
break;
case MessageType.Success:
objLabel.CssClass = “MessageSuccess”;
break;
}
}
}

// Define enum in the outer side of your page class.
public enum MessageType
{
Success,
Info,
Error
}

Now, Run your page and check it.

That’s it !
Hope you will lie it.

How to create Image reflection in Asp.Net

How to create Image reflection in Asp.Net
=======================================

Method :
———

public Image DrawReflection(Image _Image, Color _BackgroundColor, int _Reflectivity)
{
// Calculate the size of the new image
int height = (int)(_Image.Height + (_Image.Height * ((float)_Reflectivity / 255)));
Bitmap newImage = new Bitmap(_Image.Width, height, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
newImage.SetResolution(_Image.HorizontalResolution, _Image.VerticalResolution);

using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(newImage))
{
// Initialize main graphics buffer
graphics.Clear(_BackgroundColor);
graphics.DrawImage(_Image, new Point(0, 0));
graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
Rectangle destinationRectangle = new Rectangle(0, _Image.Size.Height, _Image.Size.Width, _Image.Size.Height);

// Prepare the reflected image
int reflectionHeight = (_Image.Height * _Reflectivity) / 255;
Image reflectedImage = new Bitmap(_Image.Width, reflectionHeight);

// Draw just the reflection on a second graphics buffer
using (Graphics gReflection = Graphics.FromImage(reflectedImage))
{
gReflection.DrawImage(_Image, new Rectangle(0, 0, reflectedImage.Width, reflectedImage.Height),
0, _Image.Height – reflectedImage.Height, reflectedImage.Width, reflectedImage.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
reflectedImage.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY);
Rectangle imageRectangle = new Rectangle(destinationRectangle.X, destinationRectangle.Y,
destinationRectangle.Width, (destinationRectangle.Height * _Reflectivity) / 255);

// Draw the image on the original graphics
graphics.DrawImage(reflectedImage, imageRectangle);

// Finish the reflection using a gradiend brush
LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(imageRectangle,
Color.FromArgb(255 – _Reflectivity, _BackgroundColor),
_BackgroundColor, 90, false);
graphics.FillRectangle(brush, imageRectangle);
}

return newImage;
}

How to Use It (Testing)
—————————–

Response.ContentType = “image/jpeg”;

Image objImage = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(“Image.jpg”));

Image objImage2 = this.DrawReflection(objImage, Color.White, 80);

objImage2.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

That’s it !

How to create Insert Script in SQL Server database

How to create Insert Script in SQL Server database
===========================================

CREATE PROC sp_generate_inserts

@target_table varchar(776) = NULL, — Use this parameter to specify a different table name into which the data will be inserted
@include_column_list bit = 1, — Use this parameter to include/ommit column list in the generated INSERT statement
@from varchar(800) = NULL, — Use this parameter to filter the rows based on a filter condition (using WHERE)
@include_timestamp bit = 0, — Specify 1 for this parameter, if you want to include the TIMESTAMP/ROWVERSION column’s data in the INSERT statement
@debug_mode bit = 0, — If @debug_mode is set to 1, the SQL statements constructed by this procedure will be printed for later examination
@owner varchar(64) = NULL, — Use this parameter if you are not the owner of the table
@ommit_images bit = 0, — Use this parameter to generate INSERT statements by omitting the ‘image’ columns
@ommit_identity bit = 0, — Use this parameter to ommit the identity columns
@top int = NULL, — Use this parameter to generate INSERT statements only for the TOP n rows
@cols_to_include varchar(8000) = NULL, — List of columns to be included in the INSERT statement
@cols_to_exclude varchar(8000) = NULL, — List of columns to be excluded from the INSERT statement

@ommit_computed_cols bit = 0 — When 1, computed columns will not be included in the INSERT statement

)
AS
BEGIN

/***********************************************************************************************************

NOTE: This procedure may not work with tables with too many columns.
Results can be unpredictable with huge text columns or SQL Server 2000′s sql_variant data types
Whenever possible, Use @include_column_list parameter to ommit column list in the INSERT statement, for better results
IMPORTANT: This procedure is not tested with internation data (Extended characters or Unicode). If needed
you might want to convert the datatypes of character variables in this procedure to their respective unicode counterparts
like nchar and nvarchar

Example 1: To generate INSERT statements for table ‘titles’:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’

Example 2: To ommit the column list in the INSERT statement: (Column list is included by default)
IMPORTANT: If you have too many columns, you are advised to ommit column list, as shown below,
to avoid erroneous results

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’, @include_column_list = 0

Example 3: To generate INSERT statements for ‘titlesCopy’ table from ‘titles’ table:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’, ‘titlesCopy’

Example 4: To generate INSERT statements for ‘titles’ table for only those titles
which contain the word ‘Computer’ in them:
NOTE: Do not complicate the FROM or WHERE clause here. It’s assumed that you are good with T-SQL if you are using this parameter

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’, @from = “from titles where title like ‘%Computer%’”

Example 5: To specify that you want to include TIMESTAMP column’s data as well in the INSERT statement:
(By default TIMESTAMP column’s data is not scripted)

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’, @include_timestamp = 1

Example 6: To print the debug information:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts ‘titles’, @debug_mode = 1

Example 7: If you are not the owner of the table, use @owner parameter to specify the owner name
To use this option, you must have SELECT permissions on that table

EXEC sp_generate_inserts Nickstable, @owner = ‘Nick’

Example 8: To generate INSERT statements for the rest of the columns excluding images
When using this otion, DO NOT set @include_column_list parameter to 0.

EXEC sp_generate_inserts imgtable, @ommit_images = 1

Example 9: To generate INSERT statements excluding (ommiting) IDENTITY columns:
(By default IDENTITY columns are included in the INSERT statement)

EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @ommit_identity = 1

Example 10: To generate INSERT statements for the TOP 10 rows in the table:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts mytable, @top = 10

Example 11: To generate INSERT statements with only those columns you want:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_include = “‘title’,'title_id’,'au_id’”

Example 12: To generate INSERT statements by omitting certain columns:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @cols_to_exclude = “‘title’,'title_id’,'au_id’”

Example 13: To avoid checking the foreign key constraints while loading data with INSERT statements:

EXEC sp_generate_inserts titles, @disable_constraints = 1

Example 14: To exclude computed columns from the INSERT statement:
EXEC sp_generate_inserts MyTable, @ommit_computed_cols = 1
