Format DateTime in Gridview.

Gridview is using mostly , now i have come up with some small but very important task on how to display Proper date time on Gridview , Basically we are defining standard date time option (date + time) , but some time we only want to display date in this case you can follow the below format.Format Date on Bound Column in Grid View

Suppose you want DOB in short date format without time , then you can simply use DataFormatString ="{0:d}" for Short Date
like this

<asp:BoundField DataField="DOB" HeaderText="DOB" DataFormatString = "{0:d}" />


if you are using above this setting then also it will not work ,coz by default the html encode is turned ON to prevent the Cross site Scripting attack , so for that you need to add one more property as HtmlEncode ="false".


<asp:BoundField DataField="DOB" HtmlEnclode="False" HeaderText="DOB" DataFormatString = "{0:d}" />

if You want Logn Date you can use - DataFormatString = "{0:D}"
if You want Logn Time you can use - DataFormatString = "{0:T}"

If you are using Template comlumn and you want to make your date string in short format then also you can use this suppose your item templates is

<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="DOB" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DOB") % >'> </asp:Label >
</ItemTemplate >


Then also you can use like this way:

<asp:Label ID="DOB" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DOB","{0:D}") % >'> </asp:Label >


Following table will show some date formating ways in Gridview column.

Format Pattern	Name	Example
d	Short date	11/8/2008
D	Long date	Sunday, August 11, 2008
t	Short time	3:32 PM

How to know SQL Server version and Edition

some time we just install the sql server , but still we don't know which type of version it is and edition also , basically we need that when we are upgrating current version of new version. Current there is sql server 2008 is there in market,

now how to determine which version of sql 2008 is running out machine,
- run the following T-SQL statement,

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel') ,SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')

you will get the result like :
RTM | 10.0.1600.22 | Enterprise Edition

RTM is product level which means - 'Release To Manufacturing'.
but what is means of RTM - is a stage on which the distribution of process begins CD of
that product get created and retial packs and then product will get shipp , this is very
long process and because of that RTM date is mostly ahead of the final release date.

10.0.1600.22 means product version.

Enterprise Edition means its a Edition there are some other editions are also there like
Developer,standard ,web,Express ,Workgroup , 64- bit Edition .

The following table lists the Sqlservr.exe version number.

Release	Sqlservr.exe
RTM	2007.100.1600.0
SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1	2007.100.2531.0

Check for valid Internet Connection using C#

on many application we need internet connectio , such as smart client to send receive the data, now in this case below code will help you to make sure that you have proper internet connection or not , the conecpt is like very simple, at first we simply check that if the user has network connection and according to that it will return Success / Fail message.

Now i just ping the two website (www.google.com ,www.yahoo.com) which will ping that site and return fail or success message.


C#
public bool GetIsConnAvail()
{
var success = false;
string StatusMsg;
if (NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable() == false)
{
return success;
}
string[] Mysite = { "www.google.com", "www.yahoo.com"};
try
{
using (var ping = new Ping())
{
foreach (var url in Mysite)
{
var replyMsg = ping.Send(url, 300);
if (replyMsg.Status == IPStatus.Success)
{
success = true;
StatusMsg = "Connection Found..."
break;
}
else
{
StatusMsg = "Internet Connection not Found on your machine..."
}

}
}
}
