Here’s a quick wrap up of JavaScript, jQuery, CSS3, HTML 5, .NET, Product Releases and other articles published on DevCurry.com in the month of August 2011.
jQuery, JavaScript and CSS Articles
CSS: after and before Pseudo Elements - CSS Pseudo Elements are useful for adding special effects to selectors, which would be difficult to achieve if we were to use real markup. For eg: styling of the first letter or first line of a paragraph.
Prefix an Integer using JavaScript - While formatting numbers, prefixing an integer is a common operation. For example: If you have the 79, but you want to make it five digits always, just prefix it with three zeros – so it becomes 00079.
HTML 5 DataList Element with Fallback option for Old Browsers - A DropDown menu in HTML 5 is accomplished using a combination of the new DataList element and the list attribute. This is done in two steps
JavaScript: Find Day of Year - Here’s a simple script that finds the current day of the year
jQuery: Convert Text to Links - I had some italic text in a paragraph and I wanted to convert this text into links, all pointing to the same url. Here’s how this can be done using a single line of jQuery code.
.NET Articles
Which .NET Attributes are my Assemblies Using? - An attribute describes a characteristic of some elements (classes, methods, fields) of a .NET program. Once associated with a program entity, the attribute can be queried at run time and used in any number of ways. In this post, we will learn how to list all the .NET Attributes that are used by the loaded assemblies in your program.
Where are my ASP.NET Temporary Files Stored? - Ever wondered where ASP.NET stored its temporary files? ASP.NET provides the HttpRuntime.CodeGenDir property which gets the physical path to the directory where ASP.NET stores temporary files (generated sources, compiled assemblies, and so on) for the current application.
PLINQ: Set Degree of Parallelism using WithDegreeOfParallelism - Degree of parallelism is the maximum number of ‘concurrently’ executing tasks that will be used to process the query. A query could become a long running one if it is waiting for a resource to be released or hardware to respond. PLINQ can parallelize this query by calling WithDegreeOfParallelism (which sets the maximum processor cores) after AsParallel().
50 LINQ Examples Now in LINQPad - I had recently written an article on 50 LINQ Examples, Tips and How To's. Software Developer and geek John Flynn took these examples and did a great job compiling these queries into a format which can be executed using LINQPad.
SQL Server for .NET Programmers - As a programmer who has been developing data oriented .NET applications on SQL Server for over a decade now, I have become a strong believer of the fact that a programmer’s knowledge is incomplete, without having knowledge of the database and network he/she is interacting with. I have published two link lists that I feel would help a .NET programmer to increase his/her knowledge of the SQL Server database.
Parallel Running Task Window in Visual Studio 2010 - Visual Studio 2010 has provided lots of facilities for developers writing applications targeting various .NET versions. The .NET 4.0 Framework has introduced task parallel library using which you can write code which makes use of the available cores on the deployment machine.
