Remove large white space or split string using Regular expression

Introduction:

In this article we split a large whitespace using regular expression

Normally if we use normal split function using white space, it separate by each white space character..But by using regular expression, its very easy to split string using whit space..

Here I illustrate an example by code…

We have string like this…

Code:

Dim str As String = "1234567 12345 678594"

We want to separate only the numbers, In that case normal split function won’t help us…For that we for or regex expression.

Code:

Dim str As String = "1234567 12345 678594"

Dim str1 As String()

Dim rgs As Regex = New Regex(" +")

str1 = rgs.Split(str)

The result the sr1 contains only 3 array. By using this regex pattern (“ +”), it easy to avoid the extra white space.

I hope you enjoy this method to split a string in large white space……….

show alert message to user before closing browser in asp.net

Introduction:

Show alert message to user when closing browser window

Its basic need to alert a customer before closing browser. In vb.net we used to write the code in closing button but in asp.net we can't do like that, so we go for JavaScript to make same alert like in vb.net. This alert will display whenever user try to close the browser or move to the next page alert will be shown...

Below Code we have to write body tag on window before unload event call the script function..

Script:

var msg = "Are you sure you want to leave close this page?";

function ConfirmClose(e) {

var evt = window.event ? event : e;

if (evt == e) {

if (!evt.clientY) {

evt.returnValue = msg;

}

else {

if (evt.clientY < 0) {

evt.returnValue = msg;

}

</script>

Display images from the folder in asp.net

This seems to be common question..How to show a image directly from the folder..Instead of saving a images to database,

Normally we want to display all the images from the particular folder in asp.net..Then we follow easy process to give the image link to the image control dynamically.

In normal case we store the images in database then we retrieve it and show the images. But this process is totally different process. Just we get all the Images form the folder itself..In a previous post i discussed the way to store image URL or direct image in database. For you reference i mention the link as below

http://www.dotnetcode.in/2011/06/how-to-store-imageurl-in-database-and.html

http://www.dotnetcode.in/2011/06/how-to-retrieve-uploaded-images-from.html

Here its easy code to show your image form folder..

Code:

if (!IsPostBack)

{

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/images"));

int i = 0;

foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles())

{

//HtmlInputImage ib = new HtmlInputImage();

Image ib = new Image();

ib.ID = "ImageButton" + i;

i++;

ib.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath("~/images")+"\\" + fi.Name;

ib.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.open('" +"../images/" + fi.Name + "');return false;");

Placeholder1.Controls.Add(ib);

Literal lit1 = new Literal();

lit1.Text = "<br/>";

Placeholder1.Controls.Add(lit1);

}

Grid view:

Incase if you need to bind the image in grid view follow the below code.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

dt.Columns.Add("img");

foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles())

{

DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();

dr["img"] = Server.MapPath("~/images") + "\\" + fi.Name;

dt.Rows.Add(dr);

}

GridView1.Datasource = dt;

GridView1.Databind();

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding

Recently I worked with one of my project. When I hosted into live server I felt the connection would be very slow..Also sometimes I got this type of error. Pages loading would be slow..

Regarding thi issues I posted and searched many sites…But I can find the proper reason for this issues. In many cases they said increase the connection time out, but it will never workout for me……..

One of my friend said the solution for my problem. Its in database option..If you have come across this issues..

Open your database properties and click option menu in the properties

Change the autoclose as false. My database its in true then I changed into false..

Afterwards I never get the error, also site speed also increased. For an every database settings the default option autoclose as false…

I hope this article would help to solve these issues…..

How to avoid button postback in asp.net

Introduction:

In some cases we need to use button as only onclient click event,in that case we don’t like the postback of button control.

To avoid the button postback the following code has helpful to solve the problem…..

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick ="scrfn();return false;" />

In button control just add only the return false in on client click event…Also if need to call any script function you can as its in on client click event….

Second method adds the below code in load event to avoid button post back…..

Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return false;")
