Visual Effects in Winforms

No comments on “Visual Effects in Winforms”
A perfect application is one that eases the work of the user and also pleases the user’s eyes. Given below are some effects provided by Winforms that help enhance the visual effect of an application. 1] Transparent Forms 2] Control Anchoring and Docking 3] Visual Inheritance 1] Transparent Forms By adjusting the value of the Opacity property of the form, the level of transparency of the form can be changed. The Opacity property can be set either at the time of designing, using the Properties window, or at runtime. It can take a value between 0.0, which indicates complete transparency to 1.0 which indicates complete opacity. Examples, denotes the code to make a form transparent. Example, Me. Opacity = 0.83 Or Formname.Opacity = 0.83 2] Control Anchoring and Docking When a form is resized the controls on the form do not change their position; they maintain the position that they were originally placed in. So it the form is maximized, the distance of the control from some of the borders of the form changes. The Anchor property of a control allows us to set one or more borders of a control to remain at a fixed distance from the borders of the form. The Anchor property specifies which borders are to be controlled this way. For example, suppose we have a form with a textbox. We would like the textbox to stay at the same distance from top, left and right borders of the form. To do that we would need to set the Anchor property for the textbox to TopLeftRight in the properties window. To set the Anchor property for the textbox control, we need to click on the cross and select the Top, Left and Right bars. A control can also be docked to a single or all the edges of a form. A control that is docked to a particular edge of a form does not move from that edge when the form is resized. On resizing a form, the docked control’s size changes according to the size of the edge of the form. For example, suppose we would like the textbox control to stay at the top and not be moved to any other place when the form is resized, then we can dock the control to the edge of the form. The difference between anchoring and docking is that anchoring is with respect to the position of the control on the form, that is its x, y coordinate value, but docking is with respect to the entire edge of the form. If more than one control is docked to an edge they are ‘not’ placed on top of each other. To dock a control to a form edge, set the Dock property of the control. The dock property takes any one of the Dock Style options whose default is “none”. 3] Visual Inheritance Inheritance saves the programmer from the trouble of re-typing codes and provides the luxury of code reusability. Similarly it goes without saying that it would save the programmer a lot of time if it was possible to inherit user interface as well. Winforms supports inheritance of user interfaces. A form that is going to be inherited from is called the base form. The form that inherits from the base form that is going to be inherited from is called the base form. The forms that inherit from the base form contain the controls and functionality of the base form. In addition these inherited forms can contain their own controls and functionality.

Word-Processing

Word-Processing:

Since ancient times, people have been using written documents for expressing themselves in a more permanent manner than possible. Written documents also used by man as a means of communication for long distance. As man has progressed, so has the need for more effective, quality documentation. Handwriting, printing process and typewriters are the three ways that are used by the people for getting the effective quality of documents.
Features of Word processing:
  • Efficient mode of Text editing.
  •  Facility of Cut, Copy, Paste.                                                                                  
  • Search and Replace Text.
  • Justification, Indentation etc.
  • Pagination is the process of separating a document's text into pages. The separations between pages are called page breaks.

Spell Checking:
Microsoft Word provides several ways to check spelling and grammar  :
• Automatically correct spelling and grammar.
• Automatically check spelling and grammar as you type.
• Check spelling and grammar all at once.
• Check the spelling and grammar of text in another language.

Importing/Exporting Text:
You can import data from a Word text file, such as a mail merge data source. You can insert Microsoft Access data into a new or existing Word document.

Mail Merging is the process of transferring selected information from one document to another document. You can use the Mail Merge Helper to create form letters, mailing labels, envelopes, or catalogs. The Mail Merge Helper guides you through organizing the address data, merging it into a generic document, and printing the resulting personalized documents. 

Introduction of MS-Office:

Business software integration has come into own with the release of Microsoft Office, which combines a new common look and a more polished interface - with a seamless exchange of information between the office applications. Thus, we can focus on our documents, rather than on the intricacies of the software that creates them.

Word:
In addition to using word for anything you'd use a word processor for, you can use it as the foundation for creating letters, memos, reports, and any other documents that will include or be included in documents from the other office applications.

Excel:
Use Excel to formulate and analyze numbers, manage and sort lists and create graphs, maps and pivot tables. The list and numbers can be created and stored in Excel or in an external source such as an Access Database.

PowerPoint:

Use Power Point to present your thoughts, ideas and plan to various audiences - for example, your board of directors, sales prospects, Multimedia, animation and links to your office data make Power Point ideal for timely information on powerful presentation.

Outlook:
Outlook is included with office to manage pertinent information about your contacts, facilitate the scheduling of your time; navigate your hard drive, and provide a universal inbox for all of your mail source.

Access:
Use Access to store track and reports information. You can also use Access to create databases that track membership list, client data, student registrations, inventory, tracking and customer invoicing.

Opening and saving your Office documents:
By using the improved File Open and File Save dialog boxes, you can gain access to more files at one time in every Office program. Use the Places Bar to go to the folders and locations you use the most. Click History to see the last 20 to 50 documents and folders that you have worked with. Then, click the Back button to easily return to previously opened files and folders.

 

The Features of Visual Studio.NET

No comments on “The Features of Visual Studio.NET”
The major features of the Visual Studio.NET includes:- 1] Shared IDE (Integrated Development Environment) 2] Window Management 3] Designers 4] Visual Studio Macros 5] Visual Database Tools Describe Features shortly 1] Shared IDE (Integrated Development Environment) IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. IDE is a programming environment integrated into an application. Microsoft Visual Studio.NET provides a single shared IDE for all the languages supported by it. It is designed to help developers build solutions in a quick and efficient way. • Start Page • Solution Explorer • Properties Window • Class view • Toolbox • Server explorer • Task List • Output Window • Dynamic Help • IntelliSense • Enhanced Integrated Debugger • Command Window 2] Window Management Visual Studio.NET makes it very easy to view more lines of code on screen at one time. Following are some of the features that the windows in the Visual Studio.NET IDE provide. • Auto Hide • Dock able Windows • Tabbed Documents • IDE navigation • Favorites 3] Designers Giving applications a web look and feel is what makes programming so popular these days. Visual Studio.NET contains the shared Web Form Designer, a graphical way to create HTML pages, Active Server Pages, and ASP.NET Web forms. 4] Visual Studio Macros Visual Studio.NET is well equipped with a rich extensibility model for customizing, automating, and extending the IDE. To make the best use of this extensibility from within the IDE, VS.NET provides the Visual Studio.NET Macros environment. 5] Visual Database Tools Visual Studio.NET includes comprehensive tools for working with database to maximize developer productivity. Instead of installing multiple tools for creating database schemas, stored procedures, triggers, indexes and other items, developers can perform these tasks within the Visual Studio.NET IDE. Let us take a close look at the features provided by the database tools. • Database Designer • Query Designer • Database Project • Script Editor • Stored Procedure Debugging

Benefits of XML Language

No comments on “Benefits of XML Language”
Here, I described about benefit of XML language. Corporates are increasingly moving from the classic Client/Server two-tier application models to the three-tier model. The browser acts as a front end, and interacts with a middle-tier web server, which in turn communicates with a back-end database server for storage. This three-tier architecture has several benefits over two-tier architecture, including easier scalability and better security. XML will make possible richer implementation of such models through structured data exchanged over HTTP. The benefits of XML can be classified into the following: 1) Bussiness benefits of XML 2) Technological benefits of XML 1) Business benefits of XML The various business benefits of XML are as follows: • Information Sharing The XML can be used facilitate business. It is one of the greatest benefits of XML. XML allows businesses to define data formats in XML, and easily build tools that read data, write data and transform data between XML and other formats. This has allowed a number of businesses and industry consortiums to build standard XML data formats. Areas such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), inter-bank payments, supply-chain, trading and document management are all the subjects of ongoing XML-based standardization undertaken by industry consortiums. The ability to link enterprise applications is a key focus for many companies, and has produced cost savings and increased revenue for many enterprise customers. In particular, many businesses aim to improve Customer Relationship Management (CRM) by creating a single logical view of each customer across multiple existing systems. XML is an important technology to create this single customer view. Furthermore, because XML makes it easy to relate structure to content, XML subsets can be defined with specific industries, or applications in mind. For example, XML has been used to define standard data formats for the banking industry. In the same manner, a standard could be developed specifically for flight booking systems, thereby allowing airlines to easily exchange information. • Single application usage The business benefits of using XML within a single application are less compelling, but they are very easy to achieve, and so we have a number of applications that use XML internally. XML is a very powerful and flexible language for describing the complexities of the real world. Since XML can describe complex data, it means that it can be a powerful tool for creating new applications. The extensibility of XML means that the application can grow and develop without major changes. XML allows businesses to define data formats in XML, and easily build tools that read data, write data and transform data between XML and other formats. • Content Delivery XML has a number of key benefits for content delivery. The main benefits are the ability to support different users and channels, and to build more efficient applications. Channels are information delivery mechanisms, for example, Digital TV, Phone , the Web, and multimedia kiosks. Supporting different channels is an important step in delivering e-business applications to customers through their chosen medium. XML is a key technology for this. For example, a customer and a supplier both need to access the same on -line product catalogue. Although the information is the same, the visual emphasis will differ, depending on who the user is. The customer will be more interested in looking for information on functionality, pricing, and availability, while the supplier will want to have easy access to catalogue maintenance and inventory information. All this information might be stored in a single XML document and be displayed differently by the application. Using XML for content delivery has been limited by the non-availability of XML-enabled browsers. 2) Technological benefits of XML The Technological benefits of XML are as follows: • Re-use of data The librarian could re-use the publisher’s data, because it is in a common format, and we could also re-use the data when we built our meta-catalogue. Of course there are many common file formats in the world of computing that have allowed data re-use. There have usually been proprietary and application specific. XML is neither application specific nor proprietary. • Separation of data and presentation If we compare five years old Web sites, with the ones at present, they have changed a lot. Any successful Web site will probably have at least one redesign a year. That is not simply to cater to latest trends. Successful Web sites analyse and react to feedback from users, and redesign the site to be more productive and intuitive. Let us return to the example of the library Web site. This Web site is also redesigned, but the underlying data remains in place. So it makes sense to separate the data output from the Web site design. There is still another, even more compelling reason to separate data and display, which is the rise of pervasive computing. Pervasive computing takes place when computing devices become integrated into common everyday appliances, for example, mobiles, televisions, printers, and palm computers. Each of these appliances may have a different display technology, and require different instructions on how to display the data. The same search of the library catalogue should be viewed on a mobile phone or a high-resolution PC. This can be achieved by using XML. • Extensibility HTML has been a constantly evolving standard since it emerged. One of the problems it has faced, is that companies wishing to go beyond HTML, have often extended it. Browser suppliers regularly add non-standard extensions to HTML. Similarly web server manufacturers build “Server-side” extensions to HTML. These include Microsoft’s Active Server Pages, Java Server Pages, and many others. This has led to many confusing variants of the HTML standard, causing difficulties for Web developers, tools vendors, and ultimately for end-users. As the name implies, extensible Markup Language was designed from the beginning to allow extensions. If we go back to our example of the library, when the books were first indexed, the Web did not exist. Probably the library catalog has no references to Web sites in it. Nowadays, many books have a companion Web Site, and the librarian may wish to reference it. If XML were used to develop the catalog, then this could easily be accomplished. Importantly, with XML, old software is not disrupted by the addition of new information. • Semantic Information The final major benefit of XML is that it builds semantic information into the document. Semantic information (or meaning) is what allows readers to decide whether the book is about the color brown, or written by Brown. An HTML-based Web search engine cannot do that, because it cannot distinguish between the title and author in the document, there isn’t enough semantic information in the HTML page. With XML, the document includes self-descriptive terms that make it possible to know what the meaning of the document,is. • Other benefits The other benefits of XML are, that it is human-readable, tree-based, and is easy to write program. As time goes on, a large number of XML tools will emerging from both existing and new software vendors. It is human-readable, because it is based on text and simple customised tags. The tree-based structure of XML is much more powerful than fixed-length data formats. Because objects are tree structures as well, XML is ideally suited to working with object-oriented programming. In particular, many people believe that there is an excellent affinity between Java and XML. Lastly, XML is easy to program, because there are already standards for XML parsers. XML parsers are the subsystems that read XML, and allow programmer to work with XML.

Java origination

No comments on “Java origination”

Language B is the father of language C, and language C is the father of C++. And it is also true that son is always one step ahead of his father and the same is here also. This statement will be said when the register of record, of Computer will be written. However, these languages created stages to evolve Java as the outcome result. Understanding Java needs to the reason of its invention that forced the people to create JAVA Language. We see that, JAVA is the found everywhere in mobile computer and the most important is the Internet application. Many applications on the Internet need JAVA Software to be installed on your computer. Like any other successful language JAVA is mixed together with the best components that fits the use of JAVA and the main purpose of this language requirement.

What has make Java so important? Here is the answer- JAVA has a connection with the online Internet World. Also remember that- JAVA is the first programming language in the Internet environment.

Why there is a need of new method of computer language and development? Here is the answer- Due to the market environment change and to give a quality product to the beautiful people and it will be only achieved by doing refinements and improvements in the science of programming.

As we know that the JAVA is the son of the C++ and C++ is the amendment in C. So it is necessary that JAVA will have many characteristics same as that of C++ and C. JAVA has the syntax from C and object oriented feature are inherited from C++. It is true that many of the java characteristics are inherited from its predecessors. However, the creation of java language is mainly for the refinement and adaptation process and this is present in the computer programming language from the past three decades.
