Mind Refreshing Puzzle - A boy goes to his grand parents house.

A boy goes to his grand parents house. There he either does   yoga in the morning / plays tennis in the evening / does neither. 

However he does not do both on the same day. 

We know that 22 days he did either 1 activity. 

24 mornings he did nothing. 

12 evenings he did nothing. 

How many min days did he stay there to have done this? 

Answer

We get three equations: 

1. Yoga + Tennis =22 

2. Tennis + Nothing=24 

3. Yoga + Nothing = 12 

We are able to conclude: Yoga = 5, Tennis = 17, Nothing =7. 

Hence the min days: 5+17+7=29 days

git reset – hard origin/ParentBranchName

f) Goto Child branch

                Git checkout ChildBranchName

                Git fetch

                Git reset – hard origin/ChildBranchName

g) Merge Command

                Git merge ParentBranchName (Parent Branch: This will down merge parent branch changes to child)

h) Pull command:

Git pull origin ParentBranchName

i) Revert Of Revert :

Disable Enter key using javascript code

Here is the function to disable Enter keys using javascript code,  you have to paste this code and call this javascript method from your window onload method or using Jquery ready methods:


function DisableEnterKey(e) {
    var key;

    if (!e) {
        e = window.event;
    }

    if (e.keyCode) {
        key = e.keyCode;
    }
    else {
        key = e.which;
    }

    return (key != 13);
}


Happy Coding :) !!

Set focus on first visible element using Javascript

Here is the Javascript code, you can use to set the focus of cursor on first visible element of the page.


function SetDefaultFocus()
{
    try
    {
        //loop will work for each form on the page
        for (f=0; f < document.forms.length; f++)
        {
           // for each element in each form
            for(i=0; i < document.forms[f].length; i++)
            {
              // if it's not a hidden element and it's not disabled
              if (document.forms[f][i].type != "hidden" && document.forms[f][i].disabled != true)
              {    
                    document.forms[f][i].focus();
                    return;
              }    
            }//eof sub-for  
        }//eof main for
    }
    catch(e)
    {
     
    }
}

Only you have to call this method on window onload or in jquery ready methods, This will automatically set the focus to that position.

Happy Coding!!

Adding Facebok Login / Like / Logout button to Blogger / Website.

All the steps are same for adding facebook plugins like Like button / Login-Logout button , Comment Box etc. Only there is one step difference

Below are the steps with screenshot to embed the buttons on Blogger. 

Step 1 & Step 2:  Open your blog and log-in into it. Then you will see "Templates" menu in the left, Click on it and the step 2 is click on "Edit HTML" as shown in below screenshot:

Step 3:  Clicking on Edit HTML, We need to add namespace "xmlns:fb='http://ogp.me/ns/fb#'" as highlighted in below image. Once you add the namespace, Click on "Save Template" as highlighted.

Step 4: Once you save the template, click on "Layout" menu(3rd last) in the left menu list.

             This will open up a page as shown in below screenshot.

Click on "Add a Gadget" button wherever you wish to add facebook plugins. 

Clicking on "Add a Gadget" will open up a popup with multiple option of Gadgets as shown below:

from this popup, we have to select "HTML/Javascript" which is at 3rd last position in above screenshot.

This will further open up a popup as shown below, where we need to add below code snippet:

<div id="fb-root"></div>

<script>(function(d, s, id) {

  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;

  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;

  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=694894273921188&version=v2.0";

  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

<div class="fb-like"   data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>

The above code is for "Like" button only, if you want to add Login/Logout or comment plugin, you only need to change the highlighted div from above step only.

<div class="fb-like"   data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>

You can get other plugins code from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

Step 5:

After saving this, popup will be closed. Then click on "Save Agreement" as shown in below figure.

Step 6: Yipeee!!! you are done, this will show you Facebook like button.

Set the value of one Textbox, Whenever the other textbox value changes using Jquery

Hi Everyone,

I am writing this article to help those who are very new to jquery,

Requirement is : Need to update one input box on changing the text in other text box.

Solution:  I am assuming that you know the basic of html and javascript.

Here is the text version of the code. you just have to copy the code and paste this text in notepad file and save that file as html.
------------------------Beginning of Code------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#FirstInput").on('keyup', function () {
                $("#SecondInput").val($(this).val())
            });
        });
    </script>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

    <div>
    First InputBox <input type="text" id="FirstInput" value="" /> <br />
    Second InputBox <input type="text" id="SecondInput" value="" /> <br />
    </div>

</body>
</html>
------------------------------End Of Code-----------------------------------------------

After running this code, the output will be :

As you can see if i enter "G" in First InputBox the value will automatically be reflect in 2nd InputBox.
The Jquery Code which is doing all this is :

 $("#FirstInput").on('keyup', function () {
                $("#SecondInput").val($(this).val())
            });

$ is inbuild keyword to access elements using jquery and every function that need to be registered on element are to be enclosed in ready method of jquey as provided in code.

Happy Coding :)

    prm.add_initializeRequest(prm_InitializeRequest);


    // Called when async postback begins
    function prm_InitializeRequest(sender, args) {
    // get the divImage and set it to visible
    var panelProg = $get('divImage');
    panelProg.style.display = '';

Tips, Shortcuts & Features for the .NET IDE

Reference : MSDN.

Visual Studio .NET has quite a lot of useful options. Below are the compendium of short cuts, tips, features for the Visual Studio .NET IDE.

There is no doubt that by learning the keyboard shortcuts for an IDE you can increase your productivity tenfold. So here is a list of useful hints that I gathered.

1.       Multiple copy/pastes

Ctrl+Shift+V cycles through the clipboard ring. You can copy/cut multiple times from one area of code, then go to another area and paste them one after another.

2.       Vertical block selection

Press Alt and then select the area you want with your mouse.

3.       Incremental search

To incrementally search for text as you type, first press Ctrl+i. Then type the word you want to search. Hit backspace to clear a character and enter to finish. Pressing F3 after this will work as usual, i.e. search for the next occurrence of previous search.

Ctrl+i - Ctrl+i works like F3.

4.       Previous cursor positions

Ctrl+- i.e. Ctrl + Hyphen. This cycles you through the code positions you visited.

Ctrl+Shift+- to navigate in the opposite direction.

5.       Drag and drop code snippets

The Toolbox (Ctrl+Alt+X) window has multiple tabs. You can drag and drop code onto this window and copy it elsewhere. Some tabs do not allow dropping code into them; those that allow will have the appropriate icon. The General tab works for me.

6.       Matching brace/comment/region/quote

Ctrl+] takes you to the matching brace. It also takes you to the matching comment, region or quote depending on what is at the cursor now.

7.       Change IDE Startup page

When you load your .Net IDE, the default behavior is to load the Start Page. However for many developers, this is just and extra step to open a project, which also happens to load the Internet Explorer into memory. In the Option dialog, under Environment -> General Page, you are able to change the behavior to one of five options as below in screen shot.  

8.       Closing/Showing support windows

There are a bunch of necessary/useful windows in the Visual Studio IDE like

Properties (F4),

Solution Explorer (Ctrl+Alt+L),

Output Window (Ctrl+Alt+O),

Task List (Ctrl+Alt+K) etc.

However, they take up a lot of space. An easy way around this is to use the auto hide feature.

Open the window you want. Right click on its title and choose Auto Hide. The window will dock in whenever your mouse is not hovering over it.

9.       Tab groups - group code editor windows

If you have many source code windows open, you can group them logically using tab groups. Right click the tab of the code window and choose New Horizontal Tab Group. This will move the window into a split window, allowing you to see both files. You can add more files to this new tab group and also move files back to the previous group by choosing Move To Previous Tab Group.

10.   Track things you have to do with Task List

The Task List window (Ctrl+\,Ctrl+T) allows you to keep track of the things you have to do. Right click on the Task List window and choose Show Tasks|All to see a list of tasks. Ctrl+Shift+F12 to cycle through your list of tasks.

By default, comments marked with a TODO will appear in the task list.

11.   Edit Task List Comment Tokens

You can add your own set of comment tokens (like the TODO comment token). Goto Tools|Options|Environment|Task List|Comment Tokens and make your changes. You can change the priority appearance of each comment token too.

12.   Add Task List Shortcut

Add a shortcut to the task list with Ctrl+K, Ctrl+H. This will add the current line to the task list.

13.   Record and play temporary macro

Ctrl+Shift+R to record a new temporary macro. Press Ctrl+Shift+R to stop recording. Ctrl+Shift+P to play the recorded macro.

This works similar to *recording* in Vim. If you think you are going to be repeating a set of keyboard keys, then record them once and play them each time after.

14.   Auto-complete

Press Ctrl+Space or Alt+RightArrow to auto-complete the word. Intellisense suggestions may pop up a window if there is more than one possibility.

15.   Intellisense suggestions window

Press Ctrl+Shift+Space to bring up the intellisense suggestions window. When giving parameters for functions, I often need to escape the suggestions window to check another part of code. To bring it back, I used to delete a comma and then type it again; but this is easier.

16.   Word wrap

Ctrl+R Ctrl+R

or

Tools|Options|Text Editor|All Languages|General|Word Wrap

If you want to set this option for only one language, then choose the appropriate language instead of All Languages.

17.   Line numbering

Tools|Options|Text Editor|All Languages|General|Line numbers.

If you want to set this option for only one language, then choose the appropriate language instead of All Languages.

18.   Open Web Browser in IDE

You can open web browser in your IDE using Ctrl+Alt+R. or choose View|Other Windows|Web Browser.

19.   Favorites window

Your IDE also functions as a browser. To see your list of favorites, press Ctrl+Alt+F or choose View|Other Windows|Favorites.

20.   Bookmarks

Bookmarks are available through Edit|Bookmarks. Bookmarks allow you to mark places in your code that you would want to come back to.

·         Create/Remove Bookmark - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+K

·         Move to next bookmark - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+N

·         Move to previous bookmark - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+P

·         Clear all bookmarks - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L

21.   Code Formatting

·         Auto-format selection - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F

·         Convert to lower case - Ctrl+U

·         Convert to upper case - Ctrl+Shift+U

·         Comment selection - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C

·         Uncomment selection - Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U

22.   Outlining

I like this feature that allows me to hide code that is irrelevant to what I'm currently working on.

·         Fold/Unfold the current code block - Ctrl+M, Ctrl+M

·         Unfold all - Ctrl+M, Ctrl+L

·         Stop outlining - Ctrl+M, Ctrl+P

·         Fold all - Ctrl+M, Ctrl+O

23.   Build and Debug

·         Build - Ctrl+Shift+B

·         Run - Ctrl+F5

·         Debug - F5

·         Cycle through build errors - F8
