Master Pages

Hi

Long time since I posted an article on my blog!
I have been reading more about Master Pages in ASP.NET and I think it is a cool feature to have when you have the same structure across multiple pages.

One new(probably for me) thing I learnt is about
<%@ MasterType %> Attribute.

This attribute will be used in the web pages(.aspx) and is used to call the properties that are defined in the master page via Master. call.

Say for example: If we have a property to which gets or sets a boolean value in the master page(Site.Master):

private _setFlag= false;
public bool setFlag
{
get{return _setFlag;}
set{_setFlag=value;}
}

In the web page Page1.aspx if we want to call the property of the master page, we could achieve this by using the following attribute:

<%@MasterType VirtualPath="Site.Master"%>

public void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(Master.setFlag.ToString());
}

Knowing too much is bad(in the world of OOP)

In real life, we have heard experts say that knowing too much or sometimes doing too much is bad.  This is the same in the world of Object Oriented Programming, this is called as God Object. The God object is an example of anti-pattern(code that is difficult to understand, refactor and maintain) and a code smell.  We have heard of Single-responsibility Principle(which is "S" in the SOLID principles). The SRP states that each class should have only responsibility and therefore has only one reason to change.  Whenever a code is written, make sure that the class does only one thing. You can refer to the God Object here at wikipedia which gives a brief description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_object

Reverse a LinkedList Algorithm

Reversing a Linked List Problem Statement:  Reverse a Linked List.  Given a Linked List of Nodes  :  1->2->3->4->5->6 , reverse it so that the output is 6->5->4->3->2->1 My Approach:  For this approach, we cannot the same LinkedListNode since it would point to the same memory location. In the above example, 1 should point to null of the new List. 2 which is 1.next (original) should point to 1 of the new List. 3 which is 2.next (original) should point to 2 of the new List. 4 which is 3.next (original) should point to 3 of the new List. 5 which is 4.next (original) should point to 4 of the new List. 6 which is 5.next (original) should point to 5 of the new List. This is where our logic ends. 1) LinkedListNode Class  This class has 2 Components of a Singly Linked List.  Value of the node Pointer to the Next Node.           public class LinkedListNode ...

DateTime.Now in C#

DateTime Class is used to get the various possibilities that can be included within a day, month or a year. I am going to discuss about some functionalities of DateTime.Now here. For example: To get the current date and time, use DateTime.Now which gives us 6/24/2009 9:45:00 AM DateTime.Now has 5 important functions to get date and time in different formats. 1) DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() - Displays in the format "Wednesday, June 24, 2009." 2) DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() - Displays in the format "12:00:00 AM. " 3) DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() - Displays in the format "6/24/2009" 4) DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString() - Displays in the format "12:00 AM" 5) DateTime.Now.ToString("Format") - This method accepts different formats. The formats can be obtained from GetDateTimeFormats() method of DateTime.Now and has 133 different formats that anyone can think of while displaying Date and Time. For example: DateTime.Now.ToString(...
