Hi all!
How was your weekend? Mine was great – jam packed and filled with friends, music, food, and love. I have so much to share and today, I want to tell you about Friday night!
Friday was Nidhi's {also known as Nidhizzle} 26th birthday celebration. I've known her for awhile now and one thing that sticks out is that how much she prefers savory dishes over sweet. One time, when we went to an ice cream place,she didn't even order ice cream. I know, shocker.
So, I knew her birthday was coming up and I wanted her to still blow out candles even though she doesn't like sweet dishes. I've had the idea of a hummus cake in my head for awhile and it was just a matter of figuring out how to pull it off. After some quick Google searching, I was inspired by this post about hummus and avocado cakes from Brittany and decided to go from there.
The ingredients were simple {and very customizable}:
- rice cakes
- baby tomatoes {for decorating}
- Gourmet Garden Parsley {for writing on the cakes! I see these tubes everywhere and decided to take a chance and hope they would write… success!}
- hummus
- guacamole
Step 1: Spread guac evenly over a rice cake
Step 2: Put another rice cake on top and cover it in hummus.
Step 3: Using the Gourmet Garden Parsley, write something. {N = Nidhi}
Repeat over and over! Really, you can take this to a whole different level if you want.
On a few of them, I decorated with baby tomatoes and snap peas that were already in my refrigerator. You can also add some cayenne pepper for "sprinkles," the options are endless! The hummus cupcakes took under 20 minutes and are perfect for appetizers or "dessert" for your savory-loving friends.
The birthday girl loved her dessert!
Everyone sang happy birthday
Todd and Nidhi are like long lost siblings… I can't even get a regular picture with them. Here are a couple attempts:
Ali brought a KALE BOUQUET for Nidhi. Seriously, how adorable?!
It was a really fun night celebrating a really awesome girl.
Nidhi: You are so loved! I hope you had a wonderful birthday. xo
Also, since I didn't post yesterday, I wanted to say how much I appreciate anyone and everyone who served or is currently serving in the military. People close to me include my maternal grandfather, Edwin, who served in the Navy, my paternal grandfather, Larry, who served in the Army, my brother-in-law, Nate, who served in the Navy, my fantastic boyfriend, Todd, who is currently serving in the Coast Guard and his brother, Steve and his girlfriend Vanessa who both served in the Navy. I am certain I'm missing many people who have directly touched my life, but I want you to know how much it means to me.
xoxoPin It

Lions officials are attempting to end a "terrible" deal that will see Australia bank an estimated £50million from this summer's three-Test tour while the Four Home Unions will collect just £1.5m each.
It is understood that a new TV deal, starting with the 2017 Lions tour to New Zealand, will see them receive a share of the multi-million pound contract for rights sold by the host nation.
At present, the SANZAR Unions — South Africa, New Zealand and Australia — keep that money, with the Lions unable to claim a slice of the pie.
However, growing disquiet from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales over the handling of the last contract has seen a much tougher stance being taken at negotiations.
The Australian Rugby Union are hoping to clear most of their mounting debts — they reported losses of £12.2m for the last two years — thanks to the income generated through the nine Lions matches, sponsorship and the existing television deal.
"The ARU are at a financial crossroads. That is why this tour is so important," said former Wallaby Joe Roff.
In contrast, it is expected that the Four Home Unions will share £6m from the tour profits. As one leading England official said today: "The last television deal with SANZAR appeared to go through on the nod and I sat there thinking, 'This is a bit of an old boy's act,' and that is why the Lions are taking a very different view.
"This new contract will get the attention it deserves and by getting access to the television revenue of the host country will open up a new financial stream for everyone in the Four Home Unions.
"All we want is a fair financial model because the current one is terrible."
It is costing the Lions £14m to embark on this summer's tour , which is funded by a number of major sponsorship deals and television rights sold in the UK.
The Lions players will receive £45,000 each for taking part in the tour. That will rise to £67,000 if they win all the matches.
The Lions pay £50,000 to clubs and provinces for each player selected for the tour as compensation and Premiership chiefs will expect a larger share if a new television deal is struck.

- - 357 mag for deer??? (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/handgun-hunting/6372-357-mag-deer.html)
357 mag for deer???
i have a s&w 357mag has 8 and three eights barrel i would like to hunt deer with it i've been at the range shooting is a 50yd shot to far i am get good at 50yds but 25 is better
so assuming your asking the question. is a .357mag good for deer hunting?my answer is yes. they make a 180gr. hunting bullet. that would do the trick nicley. as for if your asking what range its good for. take an 8 inch paper plate out to the range and find out how far away you can shoot at it from and hit every time. then cut that distance in 1/2. and that would be the max distance i would shoot at a deer with it.
I think its not a deer gun at all, sorry. 44 mag would be a starting point to me for hand gun hunting deer with. The barrel length may not be legal in some states.
Though the .357 isnt't my choice, it would be fine for deer hunting.
I would agree. HOWEVER, i know in WV the minimum pistol is a .357, with a 6" barrel. I shoot dads .357 all the time, but if i were to head out with a pistol, it would be the Ruger SuperRedhawk sitting in the gun cabinet. with 300 GR hornady XTP's, i wouldnt have a doubt that it would kill a deer. hell, my uncle dropped a bear with it...
I have a hard time looking at my Colt trooper MK3 and seriously consider it a deer hunting rig. Maybe the old 41, but I'll stick to my opinion that the 357 should stay what it was created for, 2 legged upright walkers.
ya i traded up from my taurus model 66, 357.mag to my ruger superredhawk .44mag. but a .357 would be fine.
Those red hawks are a nice hunting rig. My buddy in PA has a new Ruger model in something like a 450/480 Ruger not sure which one? with a red dot. He uses it for bear hunting. I shot the darn thing but it was more than I care to shoot.
redhawk is an amazing gun....dad has one, and with the 300 gr. hornady XTP's, holy crapola
As for using it for deer? Nah! Got too many other toys that work a whole lot better. :wink:

Braekhus to defend belts
Cecilia Braekhus is looking forward to her first professional fight in Denmark as she prepares for her September 12 clash with Lucia Morelli. The First Lady, unbeaten in 12 bouts (2 KOs), is thrilled to be a part of Team Sauerland´s fight night in Herning. "I cannot box in Norway, so this is probably about as close as I will get to home," she said with her trademark smile. "I am really excited to fight in Herning. I have a lot of friends in Denmark and I really want to put on a good show."
The 27-year-old will make the second defence of her WBA/WBC Female Welterweight Titles since edging Danish star Vinni Skovgaard in a tough fight in March. In May, she clinched an uncontested points victory over Amy Yuratovac in Helsinki. "I finally got a one-week vacation afterwards which I spent on the beach in Tunisia. I then returned to Norway to work out and do some TV and media shootings. I have been training in Berlin since July. Even though the work-outs are very hard, I still enjoy them. I want to get better every day."
Braekhus believes that the fight against Morelli will be "one of the toughest of my career". The Italian is unbeaten in 13 fights and boasts a KO quota of almost 50 percent. "She will be tough to beat, but as the world champion, I have to defend my titles against the best opponents out there," added the First Lady. "It will be a hard fight but I am sure I will win."
Braekhus needs to overcome another challenge. "I have yet to find hotel rooms for my friends and my family – everything seems to be sold out in Herning. But that is no surprise since Mikkel Kessler really is a Danish national hero. Everybody is excited to see him in action. I am really happy to fight in front of such an enthusiastic audience with so much love for the sport of boxing. It will be a great night in Herning."
In the main fight, Mikkel Kessler will defend his WBA Super-Middleweight Title against mandatory challenger Gusmyl Perdomo.

Avocent recently shipped what it claims is the first keyboard-video-mouse switch that uses digital rather than analog technology.
Digital transmission overcomes the distance and scalability issues associated with analog wired products. Wired KVM switches can typically transmit up to 1,000 feet and are limited in the number of servers they can control. The new digital KVM switches can monitor remotely located servers over an Internet connection.
The first of these to ship is the DS1800 from Avocent (a merger of Apex and Cybex). The DS1800 uses the IP address of a server to control its keyboard, video monitor and mouse, rather than a wired, unshielded twisted-pair connection.
The DS1800 is an appliance that is 1U high (1 3/4 inches) and fits into a standard rack configuration. It has eight ports that allow it to connect up to eight servers located in the same rack, and a 100 M-bit/sec Ethernet port that connects it to any IP network. It can interoperate with analog KVM switches from Avocent and is managed with software called DSView.
The DS1800 costs $10,000. DSView is $2,500.
This story, "KVM switching goes digital " was originally published by Network World.

In this letter I've given you full details of why and how I wrote this time management e-manual. But you don't have to read the whole thing – there are order buttons at various points. Also, the price is in US$ because I'm using ClickBank – one of the most trusted ways to buy and receive your e-manual.
If you're still not convinced, sign-up for the FREE FIVE-PART EMAIL COURSE. It only takes a minute and over a two- week period you can test the 28 hard-won suggestions to make life even better and help you achieve more without strain.
With best wishes for achieving more and feeling more joy from life.
It's frustrating and disheartening and I sympathise because I've been there too. The pace and stress of modern-day work is taking its toll on our quality of work, our families' our happiness and quality of life.
But who on earth is Dr Bill you may ask and how can he promise the tremendous benefit of FIVE WEEKS a year in saved time?
Good questions - so let me introduce myself briefly and how I'm able to promise you and your family a better quality of life if you use just a handful of the 139 ways.
Years ago I started off in business trying to do it all – selling, delivering workshops, writing proposals, meeting clients, writing up results of projects and doing the accounts. Just like you in your current job, I was trying to do too much!
I was too tired to live. I was as miserable as hell! (Does this sound familiar? Even if you're no where near this level of burn-out you don't want it – do you?)
To survive I was forced to look for ways to get better results - but by doing less.
Over the years I studied like crazy – thinking carefully about what I was doing. I read every time management and "get yourself organized" book I could get my hands on. I went on time management courses. I reckon I've spent over £3500 of my own money to find the secrets of achieving more by doing less and still having time for the family.
In many ways I was disappointed in the books and courses – as you may have been too. There was lots of telling me what the problem was and general advice – but very little DIRECT HELP. One book took 56 pages to get to the first time management tip!
Out of necessity I started developing my own special and easy ways of saving time and working smart. I started sharing these wonderful, quality-of-life-saving techniques with colleagues, clients and friends.
The feedback was marvellous! At last people could see the light at the end of the tunnel and they saw immediately what they had to do to take back control of their time and life.
Yes, most people like you and me are working hard just to stand still! It was terrible to see people struggling like this – just as I used to. To help them I simplified and simplified the fantastic time-saving ways of getting excellent results but with less time and less stress.
And that's what you'll get in this e-manual – brilliant, simple but terrific ways to save weeks of time – time you can use on what you want to do.
Don't worry, the techniques I'll show you are practical and you can apply many of them immediately. You won't have to fill in any questionnaires or go out and buy an expensive time management system!!!!
Then guess what? A week later we had another meeting to fine-tune the proposal. So submitting a proposal took about two hours of meetings plus, let's say, two hours of travelling time.
In pure desperation I developed this approach. Now I ask for as much detail as possible on the telephone. This may take 20 minutes or so. Then I say something like, "George, that's great. I have enough background to write a draft proposal and get it to you by close of business on Thursday. When you get the draft you'll get a better idea of what I'm suggesting and the costs. How about meeting on Monday to discuss the draft?"
The simple lesson is that you can save at least half a day on every proposal/event, by getting as much information first on the telephone or by email and then writing a draft for comment.
The 139 powerful gems in this e-manual are yours for only $27.77 – and you can download it immediately and it takes ONLY 2 HOURS to read! You'll be able to apply most of the time-liberating suggestions immediately!
And it gets even better. Yes, by getting this e-manual you save a total of $800 in course fees, your valuable time and travel costs. But how much is five weeks of your time worth? At just $50 an hour for an eight-hour day, five days a week – that's $10,000. Imagine what you could do with that time and that opportunity cost. Yes the monetary value is important- BUT THE REAL VALUE IS IN THE TIME YOU CAN SPEND WITH YOUR FAMILY - THAT'S THE REAL PRIZE – ISN'T IT?
There are three reasons why I'm happy to give you this e-manual for only $27.77.
1. I can't reach everyone in the world with my workshops so even a small sum like $27.77 is additional income for me.
2. I want you to be very pleased. When you find the tremendous value in the "139 ways", you'll hopefully want other books.
3. I'm an educator. It was terrible seeing people struggling so much – not achieving their goals and being thoroughly frustrated. I'll get my kicks knowing I've assisted you in gaining a better quality of life. So I want you to get these 139 brilliant time management techniques NOW and I don't want money to stand in your way. (Remember to send me stories of your successes).
But please make sure you get your e-manual today! I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep the price at $27.77. I'll soon have to raise the price to $67.77 because I won't be able to cope with all queries that will arise from Bonus No.1.
Two Special bonuses
Special report: "HOW TO SAVE WEEKS OF TIME, STRESS AND TROUBLE BYTREATING PEOPLE WELL – EVEN IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES" (ISBN 1 901810 06 2). We need people to co-operate with us. If they don't it can cost dearly in time and hassle. In fact, what you learn from this detailed report will be just as valuable as the 139 ways!!
The one-day workshop where I share these extremely powerful insights would cost you $167. But it's yours free when you get your copy of the "139 ways".
You already know deep down, that if you don't use time well it ruins your whole life – your career, your family. All we have is 24 hours a day - no more. We can't save it up to be used later – it just goes whether we like it or not. It's horrible to think of time like this isn't it? Time – our most precious resource to do all the things we want to do – is used up whether we want it to or not.
So you can be sure that the 139 techniques in the e-manual are practical, effective and easy to apply. Look at the contents and see another unexpected bonus. If you deal with the time management problems associated with attending meetings and writing reports – then automatically your performance in these will improve.
In summary, I know how important taking back more control over your time and life is. That's why I've added the $580 worth of email consulting and special report all for $27.77. Please get your copy of the e-manual today because I don't want you to be disappointed when you come back in a week or so and the price has gone up to $67.77.
The e-manual crammed with 139 powerful suggestions is yours for only $27.77. And if for any reason you're not fully satisfied with the 139 ways you have my promise of a no-quibble money-back guarantee.
P.S. Don't allow circumstances to dictate and control your life for one more minute. Why should you? It's your life and your family!!
P.S.S. One of the biggest time management habits to break is procrastination. So just decide NOW to get this e-manual and gain more control.

-include $(SRCS:.c=.d)
It works by associating a .d file with each .c: for example, foo.o has a foo.d file that just contains the dependency line for foo.o, here are foo.d's contents:
foo.o foo.d : foo.h header.h common.h
You'll notice one addition: this line specifies when to rebuild foo.o, but also that foo.d should be rebuilt under the same conditions---if any of the sources associated with foo.o change then foo.d gets rebuilt. foo.c isn't mentioned in this list because it's mentioned as part of the pattern rule for rebuilding a .d file (the %.d : %.c means that foo.d will get rebuilt if foo.c itself changes). foo.d was added to the dependency line created by makedepend using the sed magic above.
The final line of the Makefile includes all the .d files: the $(SRCS:.c=.d) macro transforms the list of sources in the SRCS variable by changing the extension from .c to .d. The include also tells GNU Make to check to see if the .d files need rebuilding.
GNU Make will look to see if there are rules to rebuild included Makefiles (in this case the .d files), rebuild them if necessary (following the dependencies specified in the Makefile) and then restart. This 'Makefile remaking' ( http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Remaking-Makefiles.html) feature means that simply typing make will do the right thing: it'll rebuild any dependency files that need rebuilding, but only if the sources have changed, and then GNU Make will perform the build taking into account the new dependencies.
Making deleted files disappear from dependencies with $(wildcard)
Unforunately, this Makefile breaks with a fatal error if a header file is removed. If header.h is no longer needed and all references to it are removed from the .c files and the file is removed from disk, the following error occurs when make is run:
No rule to make target `header.h', needed by `foo.d'.
That happens because header.h is still mentioned in foo.d as being a prerequisite of foo.d and hence foo.d cannot be rebuilt. This catch-22 can be fixed by making the generation of foo.d smarter. The new foo.d includes the dependencies for foo.o and for foo.d separately. foo.d's dependencies are wrapped in a call to GNU Make's $(wildcard) function. Here's the new foo.d:
foo.d : $(wildcard foo.h header.h common.h)
foo.o : foo.h header.h common.h
And here's the updated Makefile with a new invocation of makedepend followed by a sed line that creates the modified .d file.
.PHONY: all
all: foo.o bar.o baz.o
SRCS = foo.c bar.c baz.c
%.d : %.c
@makedepend -f - $< | sed 's,\($*\.o\)[ :]*\(.*\),$@ : $$\(wildcard \2\)\n\1 : \2,g' > $@
-include $(SRCS:.c=.d)
Now removing a header file doesn't break the Make: when foo.d is parsed the dependency line for foo.d is passed through $(wildcard). When there are no globbing symbols like * or ? in the filename, $(wildcard) ask as a simple existence filter, removing those files that don't exist from the list. So, if header.h had been removed the first line of foo.d would be equivalent to:
foo.d : foo.h common.h
and the Make would work correctly. This example Makefile now works when .c files are added (the user just updates SRCS and the new .d file is created automatically), when .c files are removed (the user updates SRCS and the old .d file is ignored), when headers are added (since that requires altering an existing .c or .h the .d file will be regenerated) and when they are removed (the $(wildcard) hides the deletion and the .d file is regenerated).

I have had 5 cool sculpting treatments in the past year. The fat keeps coming back, less each time, but it still comes back. The person that does the treatment says that she has never seen that happen before. I am 5'4", 111 lbs, & 69 yrs old. Why is this happening and should I continue to have the treatments, hoping that they will eventually work?
Update 4/17/2012:
The 5 treatments that I had were on my lower abdomen. I have not gained weight, but the fat is still there. Should I continue with the treatments or have slim lipo or tickle lipo done instead?

Okla. woman mistakenly calls cop for drugs
The Associated Press
COLBERT, Okla. — A woman looking for a cocaine dealer called a number on her son's cell phone — only to discover she had phoned a police officer, authorities said.
Durant police Lt. Mike Woodruff said the 42-year-old woman called him by accident. His number was on her son's cell phone because he had been arrested previously on drug charges.
"She was looking through her son's cell phone directory and found my number," Woodruff said. "Her son had told her that if she ever needed help with anything to give me a call. I think she misunderstood.
"She thought she was talking to a drug dealer."
Woodruff said he played along and set up a meeting between her and an undercover officer. She and an alleged accomplice were arrested on a drug complaint.News9.com - Oklahoma City, OK - News, Weather, Video and Sports |

We discussed mercy on More2Life Radio today. I would venture to guess that most people think that "being merciful" is synonymous with "letting someone off the hook." Honestly, though, I really don't see how this can be true. In order to be merciful, mercy must be just (and in order to be just, jutice must be merciful) so it's hard to imagine how not giving someone an opportunity to learn and grow from their mistakes/offenses would be merciful. Even in the parable of the unmerciful servant, th … [Read more...]

asp net interview questions and answers for freshers
This article is giving some of the Asp net interview questions and answers for freshers, this will be helpful for the candidtaes who aresearching for a job in Asp net.
1. What is the main difference between an ASP.NET Web application and a traditional Windows application.
ASP.NET Web applications runs under common language runtime using managed code where as Unmanaged Windows application runs under Windows using unmanaged code.
2. What are the two main parts of the .NET Framework?
The two main parts of the .NET Framework are
1. The common language runtime (CLR).
2. The .NET Framework class library.
3. When can't you use ASP.NET to create a Web application?
When you are developing for non–Microsoft Windows Web servers, such as Linux/Apache.
4. List the four major differences between Web and Windows applications.
Web forms cannot use the standard Windows controls. Instead, they use server controls, HTML controls, user controls, or custom controls created specially for Web forms.
Web applications are displayed in a browser. Windows applications display their own windows and have more control over how those windows are displayed.
Web forms are instantiated on the server, sent to the browser, and destroyed immediately. Windows forms are instantiated, exist for as long as needed, and are destroyed.
Web applications run on a server and are displayed remotely on clients. Windows applications run on the same machine they are displayed on.
5. Describe the life cycle of a Web application: When are Web forms instantiated and how long do they exist?
A Web application starts with the first request for a resource within the application's boundaries. Web forms are instantiated when they are requested. They are processed by the server and are abandoned immediately after the server sends its response to the client. A Web application ends after all client sessions end.
6. How do you preserve persistent data, such as simple variables, in a Web application?
You can preserve data in state variables, such as ApplicationState, SessionState, or ViewState.
7. How does the .NET Framework organize its classes?
The .NET Framework uses namespaces to organize its classes.
8. In Visual Basic .NET, what is the difference between a class module and a code module?
Class modules are instantiated at run time to create objects that provide separate storage for variables and properties in each instance. Code modules do not have instances, so any module-level variables they use are shared among calls to the module's procedures.
9. In Visual C#, how do you declare a method to make it available without having to first instantiate an object from the class?
To create a method that can be called without instantiating an object, declare that method as static.
10. How do you call a member of a base class from within a derived class?
To refer to a member of a base class in Visual Basic .NET, use the MyBase keyword. To refer to a member of a base class in Visual C#, use the base keyword.
11. Where would you save the following data items so that they persist between requests to a Web form?
A control created at run time, An object that provides services to all users, User preferences
Save controls created at run time in the Page object's ViewState.
Save objects that provide services to all users in the Application state.
Save user preferences in SessionState.
12. What is the main difference between the Button server control and the Button HTML control?
When clicked, the Button server control triggers an ASP.NET Click event procedure on the server. The Button HTML control triggers the event procedure indicated in the button's onclick attribute, which runs on the client.
13. How do you get several RadioButton controls to interoperate on a Web form so that only one of the RadioButton controls can have a value of True/true at any given time?
Set the GroupName property of each RadioButton to the same name.
14. Why does ASP.NET perform validation on both the client and the server?
Client-side validation helps avoid round-trips to the server. Validating on the client ensures that the data is valid before it is submitted, in most cases. However, because validation might be turned off (or maliciously hacked) on the client, data must be revalidated on the server side. This provides full assurance that the data is valid while avoiding as many round-trips as possible.
15. What types of validation would you use to verify that a user entered a valid customer number?
You would use a RequiredFieldValidator and a RegularExpressionValidator. If you have access to a list of expected customer numbers, you could replace the RegularExpressionValidator with a CustomValidator that checked the list.
16. What is wrong with the following line of code?
You can't use the Transfer method with HTML pages. It works only with .aspx pages.
17. Why can't you open a new browser window from within server code?
Server code executes on the server, whereas the new window is created on the client. You need to use client-side code to do things that affect the client, such as upload files, display new windows, or navigate back in history.
18. What steps would you follow and what objects would you use to quickly find the number of records in a database table?
There are two ways to accomplish this task:
Use a database connection and a command object to execute a SQL command that re-turns the number of rows in the table.
Use a database connection and data adapter object to create a data set for the table, and then get the number rows in the data set.
19. How do typed data sets differ from untyped data sets, and what are the advantages of typed data sets?
Typed data sets use explicit names and data types for their members, whereas untyped data sets use collections to refer to their members. The following examples show a typed reference vs. an untyped reference to a data item:
// Typed reference to the Contacts table's HomePhone column.
DataSet1.Contacts.HomePhoneColumn.Caption = "@Home";
// Untyped reference to the Contacts table's HomePhone column.
DataSet1.Tables["Contacts"].Columns["HomePhone"].Caption = "@Home";
Typed data sets do error checking at design time. This error checking helps catch typos and type mismatch errors, which would be detected only at run time with untyped data sets.
20. How do you call a stored procedure?
Create a command object, set the object's CommandText property to the name of the stored procedure, and set the CommandType property to StoredProcedure. To execute the stored procedure, use the command object's ExecuteNonQuery, ExcecuteScalar, ExecuteReader, or ExecutelXmlReader method. For example, the following code calls the Ten Most Expensive Products stored procedure on the Northwind Traders database:
// Create a connection for NorthWind Trader's database.
SqlConnection connNWind = new SqlConnection("integrated security=SSPI;" +
"data source=(local);initial catalog=Northwind");
// Create a command object to execute.
SqlCommand cmdTopTen = new SqlCommand(connNWind);
cmdTopTen.CommandText = "Ten Most Expensive Products";
// Set the command properties.
cmdTopTen.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// Create a data reader object to get the results.
SqlDataReader drdTopTen;
// Open the connection.
// Excecute the stored procedure.
drdTopTen = cmdTopTen.ExecuteReader();
21. Explain the difference between handling transactions at the data set level and at the database level.
Data sets provide implicit transactions, because changes to the data set aren't made permanent in the database until you call the Update method. To handle transactions in a data set, process the Update method and check for errors. If errors occur during an update, none of the changes from the data set is made in the database. You can try to correct the error and resubmit the update, or you can roll back the changes to the data set using the RejectChanges method.
Databases provide explicit transactions through the Transaction object. You create a Transaction object from a database connection and then assign that Transaction object to the commands you want to include in the transaction through the command object's Transaction property. As you perform the commands on the database, you check for errors. If errors occur, you can either try to correct them and resubmit the command, or you can restore the state of the database using the Transaction object's RollBack method. If no errors occur, you can make the changes permanent by calling the transaction object's Commit method.
22. Explain why exception handling is important to a completed application.
When an unhandled exception occurs in an application, the application stops—the user can't proceed, and any work he or she did immediately prior to the exception is lost. Exception handling provides a way to intercept and correct unusual occurrences that would otherwise cause these problems.
23. List two different exception-handling approaches in ASP.NET Web applications.
Exceptions can be handled in exception-handling blocks using the Try, Catch, and Finally keywords in Visual Basic .NET or the try, catch, and finally keywords in Visual C#. They can also be handled using Error event procedures at the Global, Application, or Page levels using the Server object's GetLastError and ClearError methods.
24. Describe the purpose of error pages and why they are needed.
Because Web applications run over the Internet, some exceptions occur outside the scope of the application. This means that your application can't respond directly to these exceptions. These types of exceptions are identified by HTTP response codes, which IIS can respond to by displaying custom error pages listed in your application's Web.config file.
25. Explain why tracing helps with exception handling.
Tracing allows you to record unusual events while your application is running, without users being aware of it. If an unanticipated exception occurs, your application can write a message to the trace log, which helps you diagnose problems during testing and after deployment.
26. Write the HTML for a hyperlink that will send mail when the user clicks the link.
 Send mail
27. Write the code that creates a cookie containing the user name Rob Young and the current date to the user's computer. Set the cookie to remain on the user's computer for 30 days.
HttpCookie cookUserInfo = new HttpCookie("UserInfo");
CookUserInfo["Name"] = "Rob Young";
CookUserInfo["Time"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
cookUserInfo.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
28. What attribute do you use to hide a public .NET class from COM?
Use the ComVisible attribute to select which public .NET classes and members are visible to COM. This attribute applies hierarchically for the assembly, class, and member levels.
29. Why can't you open a new browser window using server-side code? How would you display a page in a new window with a client-side script?
Server-side code can execute tasks only on the server. To perform a task on the client's computer, such as opening a new browser window, the code needs to run on the client.
You can open a new window using the DOM window object. For example, the following HTML Button control opens a Help page in a new window:
< button id="butHelp" > Help
29. How do you declare an unmanaged procedure within .NET?
Use the DllImport attribute or a Visual Basic .NET Declare statement to declare an unmanaged procedure for use with a .NET assembly. The DllImport attribute is found in the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.
30. Which ASP.NET authentication mode is best suited to identifying and authorizing users who belong to a corporate network?
Windows authentication is best suited to authenticating users of a corporate network because it uses the accounts and permissions that already exist for network users.
31. What is the difference between Windows and Forms authentication user lists in Web.config?
User lists for Windows authentication are included in the <authorization> element of Web.config. User lists for Forms authentications are included in the <credentials> element of Web.config or as part of an external users database or file.
32. How do you require authentication using the Web.config file?
Include the following <authorization> element to require authentication:
33. How do you run a Web application using the permission set of an authenticated user?
Use the identity element in Web.config to execute code using the authenticated user's account. For example:
34. How does the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) provide security in a Web application?
SSL protects data exchanged between a client and a Web application by encrypting the data before it is sent across the Internet.
35. How do you begin and end secure communication via SSL?
To begin secure communication, specify https in an address. For example:
To end secure communication, specify http. For example:
36. What permissions do Web applications run under by default?
By default, Web applications run as the ASPNET user, which has limited permissions equivalent to the Users group.
37. Why is the Machine.config file important to deployed Web applications?
The Machine.config file controls many aspects of how Web applications run, including how processes are recycled, what types of request queue limits are imposed, and what interval is used when checking if users are still connected.
38. How do you configure a setup project to install an application over the Web?
To configure a setup project to install an application over the Web, select the Web Bootstrapper option from the setup project's properties. This setting allows the Windows Installer to be downloaded and installed over the Web.
39. How do you distribute shared components as part of an installation program?
Shared components should be included as a merge module within the setup project. Merge modules manage the installation of shared components so that they're not unnecessarily overwritten and so that they can be safely removed when no longer used. Unlike regular setup projects, merge modules can't be installed by themselves—they can be installed only as part of an application installation.
40. How does deploying to a Web farm or a Web garden affect Session state in a Web application?
Web applications that are deployed to a Web farm or a Web garden need to identify a Session state provider in their Web.config file. This is because a single client's requests can be directed to different processes over the course of his or her session. The Session state provider allows each different process to access the client's Session state.
41. How do unit, integration, and regression testing relate to each other?
Unit testing is the foundation that ensures that each piece of code works correctly. Integration testing extends this concept by verifying that pieces work together without errors. Regression tests are made up of the existing unit and integration tests, which are run on a regular schedule to assure that new code did not break previously working code.
42. Why is load testing likely to be more important for a Web application than for a stand-alone Windows application?
Because Web applications can be public on the Internet, they can have hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users. Load tests let you simulate the expected demand to locate resource conflicts, performance bottlenecks, and other problems that aren't apparent in single-user tests.
43. What is the difference between the Debug and Trace classes?
Under the default environment settings, code using the Debug class is stripped out of release builds, while code using the Trace class is left in. The classes are otherwise equivalent.
44. What are the two special steps you need to take to ensure that a COM component can use a component from a .NET assembly?
To use a .NET component from a COM tool, such as VBScript, you must:
Register the .NET assembly in the system registry using RegAsm.exe.
Make sure that the COM component can find the .NET assembly, either by placing the .NET assembly in the global assembly cache, by placing the two components in the same folder, or by following the other assembly-probing rules.
45. When do you generally create a web user control?
You generally create a web user control when you want to create a group of controls that can be reused throughout a project to perform some logical unit of work.
46. When do you generally create a custom control ?
You generally create a custom control when you want to combine one or more existing controls into a compiled assembly that can be easily reused in many different projects.
47. How is deriving important to creating custom Web controls?
Both composite and rendered custom controls are derived from the WebControl base class. That class provides the methods that you override to create the appearance of the custom control.
48. What is the most important method to override when you're creating a composite custom control?
You override the CreateChildControls method to add existing controls to a composite custom control.
49. How is raising a post-back event in a composite control different from raising a post-back event in a rendered control?
In a composite control, you can use one of the contained controls to raise a post-back event. In a rendered control, you must implement the IPostBackEventHandler interface and write a client-side script to raise a post-back event.
50. Write a directive to cache responses for a Web form for 30 seconds, storing different cache responses based on the value of the lstNames control.
<%@ OutputCache Duration="30" VaryByParam="lstNames" %>
A Web form uses fragment caching to store a frequently used user control. At run time, an Object not found error occurs whenever the page is refreshed. What is a likely cause of the error?
The most likely cause is that the user control is referenced in code after it has been cached. Once cached, a user control's properties and methods are no longer available.
51. How can you detect when application data is about to be removed from the cache?
Use the onRemoveCallback delegate.
52. What is the advantage of using CSS rather than in-line styles for formatting a Web application?
Using CSS allows you to maintain formatting separately from the content of your Web forms, so changes are easier to make and consistency is easier to maintain.
53. Why would you create a style for a class rather than for an HTML element?
You create style classes when you want to apply the same formatting to different types of elements within an application. For example, you might want to create an emphasis style class that applies the same formatting to any text, control, heading, or image that you want to draw the user's attention to.
54. How do CSS and XSL relate to each other when it comes to formatting a Web application?
CSS and XSL are complementary techniques for formatting. CSS determines the font, color, size, background, and other appearance aspects of HTML elements on a Web page. XSL is used to transform XML files into HTML output. In this way, XSL controls the position and appearance of items based on their content. Used together, XSL performs the high-level tasks of composition and layout while CSS performs the low-level tasks of applying fonts, colors, and other appearance features
55. What are the differences between HTML and XML?
1. HTML uses predefined element names, such as
 and
. In XML, you create your own element names to identify hierarchical nodes of data.
2. XML syntax is much stricter than HTML: elements must always have end-tags, element names are case sensitive, attribute values must always be enclosed in quotation marks, and nested elements must be terminated within their parent elements.
3. XML identifies data conceptually based on the data's content, rather than based on the type of formatting to apply.
56. Which HTML attribute does the server control's ToolTip property map to in the HTML rendered by ASP.NET?
The ToolTip property is rendered as the title attribute at run time.
57. What is the difference between the CurrentCulture property and the CurrentUICulture property?
The CurrentCulture property affects how the .NET Framework handles dates, currencies, sorting, and formatting issues. The CurrentUICulture property determines which satellite assembly is used when loading resources.
58. How do you detect the user's culture?
Use the Request object's UserLanguages array. The value at element 0 corresponds to one of the culture codes used by the CultureInfo class. For example: SLang = Request.UserLanguages(0)
SLang = Request.UserLanguages(0)
59. What is a neutral culture?
60. What is ADO .NET and what is difference between ADO and ADO.NET? – ADO.NET is stateless mechanism. I can treat the ADO.Net as a separate in-memory database where in I can use relationships between the tables and select insert and updates to the database. I can update the actual database as a batch.
