Using the Data Pager Control in Visual Studio 2008
by
Jayaram Krishnaswamy | September 2008 | .NET Microsoft
When query results exceed the display area then you resort to scrolling and wish you had some way to limit the number of results displayed and comfortable to view without scrolling. Paging functionality which provides an answer to this is therefore a much desired feature. The Data Pager Control in Visual Studio 2008 provides this functionality when you create an ASP.NET web form under .NET Framework 3.5. It can be configured automatically using the GUI, or it can be installed manually after installing the ListView. In this article both of them are described. While the number of items displayed in a list can be declaratively coded, it is possible to set it at page load time as well.
This article by Dr. Jayaram Krishnaswamy describes how you may connect to SQL Server 2008 and display the retrieved data in a ListView Control on a web page. The ListView Control is the only control in ASP.NET that supports the new ASP.NET control, the Data Pager Control. This article shows how the data from a table in SQL Server 2008 is displayed in the ListView and how the Data Pager is configured to cycle the List View items.

by
Leonard Murphy | September 2008 | MySQL Content Management PHP
ExpressionEngine comes with a built-in photo gallery module included as part of the purchase fee. With the prevalence of digital cameras, having a place to upload and share photos on your website is a great feature of ExpressionEngine. In this article by Leonard Murphy we will:
- Install the photo gallery module
- Design our photo gallery to fit in with the design of the rest of our site
- Make it easy to upload new photos, add comments and descriptions, and otherwise create a very functional gallery
On our website, we can have multiple photo galleries independent of each other (the photos are in a different folder; the gallery has a different URL) or we can have one gallery for all our photos, using categories to distinguish groups of related photos.
For the purposes of this article we are going to create only one photo gallery, but if desired the same principles can be followed again to create multiple galleries.
To keep our photo gallery visually interesting, we will be straying just slightly from our toast website theme, and will not be using our photo gallery to display slices of toast.
Let's get started!
PostgreSQL's Transaction Model
by Jonathan Gardner |
September 2008 | MySQL PHP
A database must always be ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) compliant. Databases comply with ACID requirements through the concept of transactions. In this article by Jonathan Gardner, we will see the differences in the transaction model of PostgreSQL and Oracle. We will look into the details of how PostgreSQL handles transactions and how it can be advantageous over Oracle's Transaction Model.

A business process is a set of coordinated activities that are performed either by humans or by tools with an objective to realize a certain business result. The order of these activities and the efficiency of those who perform the activities determine the overall performance of a business process. It is very much in the interest of every company to have business processes that are efficient and include only necessary activities, because this will allow them to work faster and more efficiently. In this article by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant, we will look at business process modeling, the main objective of which is to develop a process model that defines the existing process flow in detail.

Sitaraman Lakshminarayanan | August 2008 | BPEL SOA Web Services Oracle
The first step in protecting web services is to authenticate and authorize the web service requests. Authentication in web services is the process of verifying that the user has valid credentials to access the web services and authorization is the process of validating that the authenticated user has appropriate privileges to access the web services. Besides restricting access to users with valid credentials and proper privileges, Oracle WSM can track who accessed which service and when—to provide detailed audit trails. In this article, Sitaraman Lakshminarayanan explores how Oracle Web Services Manager can be leveraged to authenticate and authorize the web services requests.

Tetris is a classic game. In this article by Stefan Björnander, we will develop a version very similar to the original version. Seven figures of different shapes and colors fall down and the player's job is to move and rotate them into positions so that as many rows as possible are completely filled. When a row is filled, it disappears. Every removed row gives one point.

Knowing where something isn't can be almost as valuable as knowing where something is. If it isn't there, then the time and resources aren't wasted looking in the wrong place. We need to make sure that we have a broad base of methods to manage our future search capabilities. In this article by John Farrar, we will be discussing about the built-in search engine and the custom search engines (Google) in ColdFusion.

August 2008 | .NET Microsoft Content Management Open Source
The thought of creating your first skin may be intimidating. You may believe that there are steps that will have to be done just right or there's no point even getting started. The fact is that once you understand some simple concepts, skinning is relatively easy. Ultimately, you will need to know your HTML and CSS markup and styling, but that is common in any type of web design you would do anywhere. This article by Darren Neese is geared toward those who have never created a skin, and it will get you over any anxiety you thought you had about creating a skin.

by
Stoyan Stefanov | August 2008 | AJAX Web Development
In this article by Stoyan Stefanov, you'll learn about the prototype property of the function objects. Understanding how the prototype works is an important part of learning the JavaScript language. After all, JavaScript is classified as having a prototype-based object model. There's nothing particularly difficult about the prototype, but it is a new concept and as such may sometimes take some time to sink in. It's one of these things in JavaScript (closures are another) which, once you "get" them, they seem so obvious and make perfect sense. As with the rest of the article, you're strongly encouraged to type in and play around with the examples; this makes it much easier to learn and remember the concepts.

Creating a View with MySQL Query Browser
by Djoni Darmawikarta |
August 2008 | MySQL PHP
MySQL Query Browser, one of the open source MySQL GUI tools from MySQL AB, is used for building MySQL database queries visually. In MySQL Query Browser, you build database queries using just your mouse—click, drag and drop!
When you’re creating a query for non-technical users and you don’t want them to see the complexity of the query, you can create a view from the query. Your users can then use the view as a table; for example, they can double-click the view, which will effectively execute its complex query behind the scene.
In MySQL Query Browser, you have two ways to create a view, which Djoni Darmawikarta will demonstrate in this article:
- From an existing query
- Writing from scratch manually
