Technical News and tips from My learning

While understanding the best practices for exception handling / tracking / etc., in the .NET, I’ve ended up with the below information Best practices in Exception handling within .NET Before identifying the best practices, it is mandatory to identify the exception generation situations and handle them to the best need of the situation. The below is the best scenario for the exception handling.   Fig 1: Exception Workflow [ Source : Internet, I forgot the source link, but I’ve copied this above diagram. As soon I find the source, would mention here. In case if the reader came across of the previous article, please let me know The above diagram is copied from Christian Thilmany ’s blog post from this link . ] There are two ways of handling these exceptions ·          Catch them & Act Immediately o    Early o    Late ·          Catch them to Record (or) log & Act aft...

Yesterday, I had to give some recommendations of using the browser control in windows application. The following text is submitted to the client and I’ve learned the deep hidden facts of the browser control. Below are the points of my discovery and they were extremely interesting if we dwell deep into it. Browser control in .NET There are 2 mechanisms that are supported by .NET to make the web URLs get data into windows applications. These mechanisms use components from ·          shdocvw.dll (the default WebBrowser Control which supports IE 4.0+ ) supported by ieframe.dll (the Core engine for IE 7+) ·          A COM component by Microsoft as “Microsoft HTML Object Library” in the form of mshtml.dll . These both mechanisms have their purpose defined for specific need. These two flavors are available from .NET framework, thus, they work independently from the IE installation on the application runtim...

Now-a-days, I’ve been exploring much thru VB.NET programming. As being a programmer for more than 3 years, I’ve found difficulties in VB.NET programming towards writing the right syntax. But all these days, I used to think that there are online code conversion tools available to make my life easy. But I were found mistaken with the widely available code conversion tools. There are 2 tools that are widely used by the industry. One is from Telerik and the other is from Developer fusion . These both do the work till the maximum extent, but couldn’t handle the situation of event delegates and lambda expressions. The main problem is this with many of the free tools, they would not be having that intelligence provided for free. Surprisingly,  Developer fusion doesn’t provide any paid services. Telerik didn’t indicate that there is a paid version for the same. Hence, my work become more troublesome. While planning to post a query at the MSDN Forums for VB.NET lambda expressions as well...

  Recently, it is so happened that I had to face an interview that is into SharePoint technologies. The interview didn’t go well, that’s a different story. But there is no much story that I can recollect towards the activities and the points that were highlighted in my career with SharePoint. Thus, decided to through some highlight on what I have worked. This might give the readers to face the SharePoint interviews. I’ve worked in SharePoint as both Administrator and Developer. It doesn’t matter what have you done, but all it matters is the depth of the knowledge that you have acquired. How much knowledge I’ve acquired is a different topic. The point of this post is all about the bullet points to give attention while preparing for the SharePoint As Developer I’ve worked on creating WebParts, Master Pages, etc., WebParts - Gadgets Customization of Master Pages Feature Creation -Activation -Roles -Content List Data -- Authorization -- Approval Levels of Workflow 3Levels of W...

Today morning, I’ve attended an interview with one of the prestigious companies of the world. It doesn’t matter what company is that, but all that matters is the significant means of the questions and the replies by me. I can’t post the entire dialogue questions here, but what I can point here is the gist of the interview. The position is for an architect, who would be working extensively for various stages of the project and should also play the managerial role. Isn’t it asking too much for a given role? Well, in Indian companies, there is no real means of Architect. He is just like any other Manager, but doing the technology stuff as well. Anyhow, that’s a different thread of discussion all together, but for the current purpose, let me concentrate on an idle situation, where an Architect is an Architect and manager is manager. The interviewer concentrating on the design guidelines and seeking answers for standard questions. Sometime back I’ve written about the common mistakes that ...

In our recent project, we are following SOA principles. Everyone think of SOA based applications, but they would have their own means applied for it. In this post, I’m too trying to convey my meaning and how we found it is profitable for both, the client and the development teams. Our SOA is spanned across 6 stages. Every stage has it’s own importance as well as documentation involved. Before we proceed further, we are not just working on the water fall model, but we also follow the Agile Methodologies. It really and clearly mentioned in every methodology that documentation is mandatory. But again, every methodology has it’s own recommendation towards documentation. Instead of talk / debate / write more about the Methodologies (vs) Documentation , let me go into the SOA Phases that worked for our current project. Stage 1: Service Candidates At this stage, we identify the business from very high level and understand the candidates that play vital role in serving the business as Servi...
