How to truncate log file in SQL Server

In SQL Server data is stored using two physical files: (.mdf) extension which contains the data. (.ldf) extension which contains log.

UWA: This application can only run in the context of an AppContainer

C# .NET language

Run it from VS (with or without debugging). This will actually install unpackaged version of your app, so you will see it in the start screen. Create a package to use locally. You can do this in VS by going to Store → Create App Package → Build a package to use only locally. This will create a bunch of files, including a command-line script that will actually install the app. You probably could use this method to distribute the app, but it would work only on developer-enabled computers.

ASP.NET MVC 3: Razor’s @: and syntax

Razor minimizes the number of characters and keystrokes required when writing a view template, and enables a fast, fluid coding workflow. Unlike most template syntaxes, you do not need to interrupt your coding to explicitly denote the start and end of server blocks within your HTML. The Razor parser is smart enough to infer this from your code. This enables a compact and expressive syntax which is clean, fast and fun to type. For example, the Razor snippet below can be used to iterate a list of products: When run,…

Using the UpdateProgress to lock down controls in the browser

If it takes awhile for the server to process the postback (e.g. complex rules or badly written code ), the user may not realize that the server is processing the request. This can lead to all kinds of issues with users that are not savvy or familiar with web applications (multiple clicks, moving off the page, etc.). Consequently, I want to tell the user that the server is processing the request and disable the controls on the page. Let’s break this down into two steps: show a message, and disable…

Windows and OS X are malware, claims Richard Stallman

Linux GNU firebrand Richard Stallman says Windows and Apple’s OS X are malware, Amazon is Orwellian, and anyone who trusts the internet-of-things is an ass. In a column for The Guardian Stallman preaches to the non-technical masses about the evils of proprietary software and vendor lock-in, and how closed-door coding facilitates clandestine deals with nation state spy agencies. “What kinds of programs constitute malware? Operating systems, first of all,” Stallman testifies. “Apple systems are malware too: MacOS snoops and shackles; iOS snoops, shackles, censors apps and has a backdoor. “Even…

Encrypting QueryStrings with .NET

Once upon a time in the tech world, obscurity was security – this being most true in the early years of the industry, when there were gaping holes in privacy policies and confidential client information was bandied about from site to site without a care as to who actually could read the information. With the new Cryptography classes in .NET, there’s absolutely no excuse for not hiding even the most innocuous user data. If you ever need to ‘piggy-back’ information from one web page to another, whether it is within…

DateDiff() function in C#

I have written the following DateDiff() function in C#. VB.NET users already had it using the Micrsoft.VisualBasic.dll assembly.

Use a reuseIdentifier Where Appropriate

A common mistake in app development is not setting the correct reuseIdentifier for UITableViewCells, for UICollectionViewCells, or even UITableViewHeaderFooterViews. For maximum performance, a table view’€™s data source should generally reuse UITableViewCell objects when it assigns cells to rows in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:. A table view maintains a queue or list of UITableViewCell objects that the data source has marked for reuse.What happens if you don’t use a reuseIdentifier? If you don’t, your table view will configure a brand-new cell each time a row is displayed. This is an expensive operation and will…
