Notes about adding style sheets dynamically with STYLE Tag

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 04:13:41 -0700

Tags: add stylesheet style dyanmic

1.) You cannot set the .innerHTML, .innerText, or .text property of a STYLE element created dynamically. You must use .styleSheet.cssText.Example: var ss = document.createElement("STYLE"); var rules = " * { font-weight: 900; } "; // this is the best way to do it in batch, rather than calling addRule, addRule, addRule ss.styleSheet.cssText = rules; //here is the property that you can use document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(ss);2.)

1. The signature at the beginning uses the load method rather than the save method.2. The example section has this text: "The following example shows how to use the save method to load the currently authenticated user's profile". Shouldn't it say it is SAVING the profile, not loading? If it is correct, perhaps a clarification could be provided.

So the example above (/Lists/Announcements) will only work when you are in the root web of a web application that is mapped to the server root. This works for me: list = thisWeb.GetList(thisWeb.ServerRelativeUrl.TrimEnd('/') + "/Lists/Announcements") thisweb.ServerRelativeUrl supplies a / when on the root site, so make sure to accomodate for that.

Password protection automatically encrypts the database

We recently discovered that the note in this topic is not correct. Contrary to what is specified in the note, when you specify a password for the database, the data is indeed encrypted. This is true for all SQL Server compact editions starting with 3.0 and above (3.1, 3.5, 3.5 SP1). The additional "encryption = True" flag in user applications (or "encryption on" flag in SQL statement) is not required when specifying a password, since password already implies that encryption is on.Syed and RamuMi

Replication from Oracle (as Publisher) to MS SQL 2008

We tried setting up Replication from an Oracle 11g server to our MS SQL 2008 Standard server and we get a message saying we need to have enterprise edition to do this. Is this true? What about if we replicated to MS SQL 2005 standard instead? Any way to buy this capabilitiy without going to enterprise ed? I am trying to get way from using crystal reports with the oracle server but if I cant resolve this then I will probally go this route instead so any help is much appreciated.

Yeah it's great that you can resolve the error by changing method names, but what if you didn't write the class? right now I'm working with the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word close method and there's no way to rewrite it.ANSWER:You can create an object of a necessary interface. For example, this is how you can resolve this error without changing the method name:void Test(IListCounter x){IList list = x;list.Count = 1;ICounter counter = x;counter.Count(1); }

Quick Note to Salmanjamli, Leahn and Kozmoknot

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:35:59 -0700

Perhaps Leahn simply left out the keyword class in her code.public static class BookType{public const string HARDCOPY = "expensive";public const string EBOOK = "cheap";public const string kindle = "other";}certainly would work.However I agree with Kozmoknot - if this is the extent of the members there is no reason to use a class. One would be better off using a struct. In the CLR, a struct is a value type, is lighter weight and allocated directly from the stack.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand is a sealed class. Therefore I see no way to set the CommandTimeout to a higher value for all commands used in an application, and this is a bummer. The default of 30 seconds is not adequate: see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305635/ which explains that the database may never autogrow if each command to add data times out (because the autogrow takes longer than 30 seconds).

How these calls work

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:37:00 -0700

Tags: clarification

To answer TimwiTerby's question: The methods take three values (a, b and c) all of the same time - so there are several overloads. The call compares the value of parameter a with paramater c. If they are equal, then the value of a is replaced by the value of b. The method also returns the original value of a, if a and c are unequal or the new value of a if a and c are equal.I've posted some samples on the invidudual method pages to illustrate how these methods work.I think the writing on this pa
