Facebook Developer Toolkit – Free Download - .NET

The main goals driving the release of version 3.0 were:

• Provide better doc and samples
• Provide support for Silverlight
• Provide support for ASP.NET MVC
• Provide improved support for WPF
• Provide improved support for FBML (FBML Server Controls)
• Provide a login control that can be used to replace the BasePage and/or MasterPage for Canvas Development
• Improve out of the box support for Extended Permission Prompts
• Refactor core source to improve maintainability and design

As part of this, we worked closer with the Developer Division at Microsoft to help design the Silverlight and WPF support. Also, after discussions with Microsoft it was decided that the namespaces and methods should be updated again to be more consistent with traditional .NET apis. This will cause some breaking changes to everyone as they move to 3.0. But, the main goal is that we wanted to get it right this time so that this could become an officially supported client library. Microsoft is working with Facebook to get the toolkit identified as the officially supported library. The plan is to provide real-time support and updates to keep the toolkit in synch with the Facebook API.

Download the starter kit to develop Facebook applications, This is fully developed in .NET and support multiple new .NET Technologies.

JavaScript Overriding Functions

This is a way to use a closure to override the document.getElementById () function, so that we can add two additional parameters. In general, we should store the original function so that we could use our own function:

1. // store the original document.createElement
2.     var _createElement = document.createElement;
3.      
4.     //override document.createElement
5.     document.createElement = function(tag)
6.     {
7.         var _elem = _createElement(tag);
8.         eval("_elem." + name + " = fn");
9.         return _elem;
10.     }

Although technically there is nothing wrong with this approach, the creation of a global variable is difficult and perhaps even error prone. A better way is to pass the original document.createElement () for ours to be kept in memory. That allows us to delegate the creation of node to it. Instead of creating a function that could only be called once, you can use one in line to run immediately, and store the results in our document.createElement () replaced the function

1. document.createElement = (function (fn)
2.     {
3.         return function (type, id, className)
4.         {
5.             var elem = fn.call(document, type);
6.             if (id) elem.id = id;
7.             if (className) elem.className = className;
8.      
9.             return elem;
10.         };
11.     })(document.createElement);

Understanding JavaScript Closures

JavaScript Closures are considered advanced material, reserved for the gurus of matter. Much has been written about them, but especially in academia, with little or no attempt made to make the subject understandable to the non-academic. That's really a shame, because the closures are the answer to the problem of how to bind variables to functions that are called at a later time. Today's article will explain what the closures are summarized some common dilemmas and ways that these closures can be used to overcome them.

Closure occurs when a function creates an environment that binds local variables to it so that to stay alive after the function has returned. The closure is a special type of object that combines two things: a function, and local variables that were in scope at the time that created the closure. In the following example, getNameFunction () is a closure that incorporates both the getName () and "Rob" string that is local to the scope of the external function. When running the code, it shows an alert box that says "Hi Rob!". A second alert shows that the variable is now displayName getName () function without the variable name. Finally, a third warning is educated through a setTimeout () and confirms that the name is still in the memory, long after the initial call to getNameFunction ():

1. function getNameFunction()
2.     {
3.       var name = "Rob";
4.      
5.       return function getName()
6.       {
7.           return name;
8.       }
9.     }
10.      
11.     var displayName = function()
12.     {
13.         var getName = getNameFunction();
14.         alert( "Hello " + getName() + "!" );
15.      
16.         return getName;
17.     }();
18.      
19.     //holds the getName() function
20.     alert(displayName);
21.      
22.     //call it again later...
23.     setTimeout( 'alert( "Your name is " + displayName() )', 10 );

How to Overcome Limitation of long in Oracle

I have faced a issue while writing a Oracle procedure, I had a long type Oracle variable to store the dynamic query, And the long variable was not able to store the dynamic query because of large size of query.

v_sql long := 'Some thing very large';

Because long variable have limitation to store only 4000 characters while concatenating, you can not store more than 4000 char.

We have an alternate method.

 

Use of Global Temporary Table.

Step 1: Break The queries into 4000 bunch and execute the separate queries and insert into a global temporary table.

Step 2: Select all data from global temporary table.

All done.

 

Please note that this situation happened when i was using number of union blocks to combine a query and this method will increase the procedure execution time.

There may be other alternatives but this can be one.

 

execute immediate 'INSERT INTO GT_TEMP(ID,NAME)
  SELECT ID, Name FROM ( ' || v_sql || ' )';

Improve Data Grid Performance – Use Paging – C#.NET – Reduce DataGrid Binding time

If you data is very huge and you have to display in data grid or infragistics grid. There is one very simple solution to just go for paging.

Data grid provide a simple pager tag to allow paging, Just put inside the

<<DisplayLayout>  tag and have the benefit of paging.

 

There is number of options you can define:

PageSize: Specify the number of results in page

PrevText: Specify Previous text

AllowCustomPaging: Specify the Custom paging – write your paging logic

PrevText: write the previous display test

StyleMode: Paging style mode – numeric , text etc

 

Code Snippet

1. <Pager StyleMode="PrevNext" AllowPaging="True" PageSize PrevText AllowCustomPaging PrevText StyleMode  >
2.                            <Style BorderWidth="1px" BorderStyle="Solid" BackColor="LightGray">
3.                               <BorderDetails ColorTop="White" WidthLeft="1px" WidthTop="1px" ColorLeft="White">
4.                               </BorderDetails>
5.                            </Style>
6.                       </Pager>

 

This is the simplest solution with large data displaying in one grid. However this method have a drawback, This method will call the database every time you click on the next or previous page. It means it will take same database time every time.

This method only reduces the binding time of grid and that is most important performance factor.

You can opt a Custom paging option to reduce database time.

I will come up with one more post demonstrating the Custom paging.
