After a Long Time....

Hi all,
Its been a long since i blogged and there are two news to share.

Firstly I got my MCP for the very first time in developing web app with c#

Secondly i got my BCIP-web Developer (Brainbench Certified Internet Professional) too

These certifications provide me a greater insight to the technologies and also provide me a hope to move further. I also got invitation to be an volunteer for INETA from Mr. Vinod Kumar (MVP) who works in Intel india who has been involved in writing articles to leading magazines like MSDN. He inspired me a lot by the way he answered in a Microsoft Site http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpInsider_2005-08

Thanks vinod for your encouragement. I hope to be an active volunteer and also hope to post articles on websites and in my user group too.

more to blog....

Diving into "mini" Technology

Today i got started to Research new kind of development of our product for Mobile Devices and PDA's. I would like to blog more on thse in the coming days. Moreover Am new to this Mobile development.

Today i was eagerly waiting to see my output in my GPRS enable mobile but i couldnt enter into it as network was dead slow. Anyway hope to see smiles on everyones face after giving a demo of the same.

More to come ....

Connection Pooling - Huh!

I got really frustrated after i got complaints continously about Connection pooling timeout expired problem in our web application. After some googling i found few solution for the problem.

Design Properly
-------------------
The first and foremost thing in any kind of software development is to design it properly as it reduces lot of problems. Before using any new technology its always best to know what it is and what are the pros and cons and how to use it EFFECTIVELY.

Whenever you are using Data Access Layer the first thing to do is to know about the Architectural design which clearly defines how to use them effectively in our software development.

Connection Pooling - what it is?
--------------------------------
When a connection is opened, a connection pool is created based on an exact matching algorithm that associates the pool with the connection string in the connection. Each connection pool is associated with a distinct connection string. When a new connection is opened, if the connection string is not an exact match to an existing pool, a new pool is created.

Controlling Connection Pooling with Connection String Keywords
--------------------------------------------------------------
We can control the connection pooling using the connection string keywords.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cnnection Lifetime - This specifies the life time of connection string [default=0]
Connection Reset - Determines whether the database connection is reset when being removed from the pool [default:true]
Enlist - When true, the pooler automatically enlists the connection in the current transaction context of the creation thread if a transaction context exists [default: true]
Max Pool Size - The maximum number of connections allowed in the pool [default:100]
Min Pool Size - The minimum number of connections maintained in the pool [default: 0]
Pooling - When true, the connection is drawn from the appropriate pool, or if necessary, created and added to the appropriate pool. [default:true]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connection Leak? - How can i find?
----------------------------------
It was very hard to figure out if you were leaking connections in v1.0 and v1.1. Now microsoft have added new performance counters. With ADO.NET 2.0 if you see the NumberOfReclaimedConnections performance counter go up you know that your application is leaking connections.

The following table lists the connection pooling counters that can be accessed in Performance Monitor under the ".NET CLR Data" performance object.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter | Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SqlClient: Current # of pooled and non pooled connections | Current number of connections, pooled or not.
SqlClient: Current # pooled connections | Current number of connections in all pools associated with the process.
SqlClient: Current # connection pools | Current number of pools associated with the process.
SqlClient: Peak # pooled connections | The highest number of connections in all pools since the process started. Note: this counter is only available when associated with a specific process instance. The _Global instance will always return 0.
SqlClient: Total # failed connects | The total number of connection open attempts that have failed for any reason.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


How to fix the leak?
--------------------
You need to guarantee that the connection close _OR_ dispose gets called. The easiest way is with the “using” construct


public void DoesNotLeakConnections()

{

Using (SqlConnection sqlconnection1 = new SqlConnection("Server=.\\SQLEXPRESS ;Integrated security=sspi;connection timeout=5")) {

sqlconnection1.Open();

SqlCommand sqlcommand1 = sqlconnection1.CreateCommand();

sqlcommand1.CommandText = "raiserror ('This is a fake exception', 17,1)";

sqlcommand1.ExecuteNonQuery(); //this throws a SqlException every time it is called.

sqlconnection1.Close(); //Still never gets called.

} // Here sqlconnection1.Dispose is _guaranteed_

}


How "using" construct works?
----------------------------
The Using construct is equivalent to a Try/…/Finally{ .Dispose() ). Even when ExecuteNonQuery tries to throw out of the execution scope we guarantee that the code in the Finally block will get called


Some DONT'S in connection string
--------------------------------
a) Do not do Pooling = False.
b) Do not do Connection Lifetime = 1;
c) Do not do Connection Timeout = 40000;
d) Do not do Max Pool Size = 40000;



Hope this gives some information about connection pooling.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

.NET Internals ...

.NET Framework:
The .NET framework allows objects, classes, and functions created in multiple programming languages the ability to communicate effectively amongst themselves. During code compilation within the .NET framework, source code is converted into MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language). MSIL, or IL, is the common language created that the CLR (Common Language Runtime) can read and understand. Once .NET code is compiled into the intermediate language (MSIL, IL), objects written in Visual Basic .NET may reference or inherit functionality from objects written in Visual C# .NET, managed Visual C++, or any other .NET language.

For each source code compiler (VB.NET, C#.NET, etc.), there is a minimum set of coding standards that must be met. The mininum set of coding standards that must be met to compile .NET code into MSIL code is known as CLS - Common Language Specification. The role of the Common Language Specification is to ensure that all generated code (MSIL) that meets the minimum set of coding standards can operate successfully within the .NET framework. THE CTS (Common Type System) handles conversion of programming-language data types into .NET compatible (MSIL) data types. The implicit benefit of the CTS is the reduction of development time when attempting to coordinate data types between two sets of different programming-language code.

Assembly and Assembly Manifest
The assembly is made up of code, metadata, and resources. The assembly manifest is a provider of information about the assembly. The information provided by the assembly manifest includes: assembly name, version number, identity information, types exposed by the assembly, list of other required assemblies, and a list of access security instructions and permissions regarding the assembly. The assembly manifest can be contained in its own file or within one of the assembly's modules. Each module can contain any number of combinations of two types: reference types (classes) and value types (structures). Type information is stored in the assembly manifest. Types can contain fields, properties and methods. A field represents storage of a particular type of data. A phone number can be stored to a field. Properties are very similiar to fields, but usually provide validation when data is set or retrieved. When an attempt to add or update a telephone number is made, validation to verify the telephone number has the proper number of characters may occur. Methods represent behavior. Continuing with the telephone example, you might have a Call method that communicates with a telephone and passes the telephone number as a parameter.

Compilation and Execution
A .NET application is not compiled to binary. As previously discussed, the .NET application code is compiled to MSIL. At least one of the MSIL assemblies will contain an executable that is designated as the application entry point. When execution begins, the first assembly is loaded and the CLR examines the assembly manifest and determines the program requirements. After a successful security permission check, the CLR will execute the code. During this period, a process for the application is created and application execution begins. When execution starts, the first bit of code that needs to be executed is loaded into memory and compiled into native binary code from IL by the CLR's Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler. Once compiled, the code is executed and stored in memory as native code. When program execution begins executing code that has not run, the JIT compiler compiles it ahead of execution and stores it in memory as binary code. Application performance is maximized because parts of a program that are executed are compiled.

Dynamic Frames using javascript....

For the past two days i was having a problem for a component to dynamically load the page in the specified frame and if the frame is not specified it has to be loaded in the default frame.

One of my friend and colleague Ramesh said, he will try for me as i was not an expert in javascript.

Today morning also i was a bit disappointed as it could be merely a single line answer but it breaked my head like anything.

At last i roled out my sleeves and thought of exploring myself very patiently and i got a real self confidence after reading an article in the internet about achievement. Atlast i found the answer today and it was really simple.

Solution
---------
The document object has frames collection which cane be used to point out the required frame


document.frames[].location.href = URL

here the frameName can be passed as both Name and index.
Name refers to the name of the target frame
index referes to the index in the specified order of the frameset.

so i just passed the required frame which i have stored in the database which is another BIG story!

Thats all folks!

Thank you ramesh for you try!

IT Tycoons Thoughts ...

SYNOPSIS OF DISCUSSIONS

BETWEEN
BILL GATES CHAIRMAN, MICROSOFT CORPORATION &
NARAYANA MURTHY CHIEF MENTOR, INFOSYS

INTERVIEWED BY
PRANNOY ROY NDTV
DECEMBER 7, 2005 TAJ PALACE, NEW DELHI

----------------------------------------------------------------
PRANNOY ROY : To me and many of us at TiE, it is a special moment. We have with us together two icons of our times - Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Narayana Murthy. Both iconic entrepreneurs, but in fact both much more than that. As you look into their lives there are so many similarities. Like both started life as hardcore software guys. Mr. Bill Gates wrote the basic compiler and Mr. Murthy, in the early 70s, also wrote the first basic compiler. Both today have given up being CEOs and taken a step back to help with the bigger kind of picture with bigger vision. Both of them have superb right hand people i.e: Steve Ballmer and Nandan Nilekani. Both have huge businesses but even larger social goals with larger hearts. Both have wives, Melinda and Sudha, who infact are even more committed to changing society, to philanthropy and charity. As icons they have to resist tremendous pressures, sometimes to enter politics. Both remarkable men, that come once in a lifetime, once in a generation. Both used to travel economy class, some say they were stingy, for some it is about principles. If it is stingy, certainly it is not visible in their charity. Ironically both are voracious readers, books are their passion. One major similarity - both really believe in spreading wealth among their employees through ESOPs but now both have stopped that and the list of their similarities is endless.


PRANNOY ROY : What are the defining moments in your life?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : Certainly the opportunity to use a computer at young age, I was only 13 at that time and I was 16 when I first understood the magic of chips with double power every two years. The school teacher asked me to teach computer to the class. That was when I got fascinated and completely immersed. My decision to leave school and start a company, that’s a nice milestone since it worked. In my case I thought the time was very important to get in and be the very first. So this chip computer comes out and I decided to go to Paul Allen and provide the software for the very first personal computer, which again was incredibly limited. The willingness to take the risk before anybody else was doing it, I think that was a big help to us. My parents thought that I was going on leave and will come back as the company will not succeed, even Harvard was nice enough to say that I could come back and even today they are willing to take me back.

NARAYANA MURTHY : There have been atleast three defining moments in my life. First when I was incarcenated in Bulgaria, a communist country and without food and water for 96 hours. Later I decided that I don’t want to be a part of this system and I will go back to India to pursue entrepreneurship and create wealth legally and ethically.

Second was in 1990, we had started the company in 1981. It didn’t progress because there was so much of friction in business in India. There was an offer from somebody to acquire us for $1mn, from this offer six of my group members got excited but towards the end I decided that I am not going to sell it off.
Third was frankly getting listed on NASDAQ. In fact it was a small step for NASDAQ but a giant leap for Infosys and Indian software industry. I would say that these were the three defining moments in my life.


PRANNOY ROY : How do you keep yourself motivated to work on and on and on?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : I love my work, I get to work with smart people and it’s a field that’s constantly changing. Every couple of year’s people say that a new company will throw you out of the business and we get to show people “not this time”. My vision was not about sales or profits but it was about this computer, what it could do and we don’t have that computer yet. We cannot talk to the machine and it cannot talk to us and we are still looking for that computer. I have a dream of having a computer in every home, in every desk. We are not even half way in achieving that goal, here in India we are scratching the surface. So there is still lot of work to be done as there is no finish line anywhere near.
NARAYANA MURTHY : Most passionate people in the world are held by larger goals. At Infosys, we have a vision to become a globally respected organization, not only in India but also in US, Japan, Germany, Australia UK and that’s still a long marathon. Maybe 10,000 or 12,000 Infosysians have already made some money but there are 30,000 other Infosysians who still have to make that kind of money and it is our responsibility to give our best, our commitment to make sure that they and future Infosysians can make money.

PRANNOY ROY : Both of you started ESOPs and both of you have given it up. Why?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : Microsoft shared more wealth than any other company has in the history of capitalism. If you get to a point where industry is so hot, it almost hyped then you start to get deviations that not only go up but they also fluctuate, so to pass the risk of those market conditions on to the employees may not be right. But we are actually into shares now where you get your salary and shares of stock and so we cut the variance down and so the predictability is much greater and still plenty of personal wealth. We are still sharing the wealth but in a different way and it wasn’t to do anything with the new accounting principles.

NARAYANA MURTHY : I always believed that leadership does not succeed in a vacuum, you need people who are smarter than you, who have same or higher level of passion and energy. If you want to bring those people on board then you need some equitable paradigm and that is why Infosys adopted the ESOPs model. We suspended it because we have to expense it out according to US regulations and then we realized that it is not the best model for us anymore. And then as it was pointed out, we made an analysis and found that by creating a paper or variable performance model, we will be able to provide a decent compensation for all.

PRANNOY ROY : India has got a new energy with Democracy as its foundation. People
have started questioning. Is democracy important in taking business decisions?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : Democracy means right way of looking at resources. It is the real commitment to the future. It is a must and we, US, stand for it.

NARAYANA MURTHY : We value knowledge as the most intangible asset. However, the important question now is, Is it really paying? There has to be a greater premium on time. We waste lot much of it in discussions. One of my friends from Harvard aptly quoted, “Two of my greatest challenges are – How to get my Japanese students to speak up and Indian students to shut up”. We have to come to conclusion out of discussions and get to execution.


PRANNOY ROY : Does a anti-American wave affect you? Lack of US sensitivity in handling international affairs to the world issues affects your relationships with your partners.
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : The world depends on the US to do certain things right whether it is funding science or whether setting a good example for free trade. I won’t say we lost business or have some impact it is because of the US politics. Everybody resents the most successful country and everybody loves the most successful country. It is all the love-hate relationship. In the US there are mixed feelings about what they think the US is doing good and not doing well. It is for the world to understand the benefits of free trade system. The US should be imitated by others. The way we run our university system should be learnt by everyone. We stand for – Be good in every way, innovation in products, markets, etc. People talk of India versus China, why not India plus China. India should learn from China and China should learn from India. I am proponent of the combined best practices of India, China and the US.

PRANNOY ROY : Does the use of force by US in international affairs worry you?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : It is best to use when the stake is very dramatic. Even in US, people say we need more evidence (in Iraq issue) but then for us it is good, for it is for the democracy.


PRANNOY ROY : Is it love-hate relationship? Even we say “Yankee go home, but take me with you”
----------------------------------------------------------------
NARAYANA MURTHY : I am unabashed admirer of US for their openness. I don’t know of any other society as open as the US. It is for us to work harder to convince the US people, decision makers, law makers, that there is good value for them (in outsourcing). If there is an outcry, dissatisfaction, I see it as our failure. ‘The day you say market is wrong, you are finished’, this should be learnt by US.


PRANNOY ROY : Now we will take some of the questions from the audience.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A1. My question is for Mr. Narayana Murthy. What challenges are faced by large and
small companies in attracting, keeping and retaining best talent?
----------------------------------------------------------------

NARAYANA MURTHY : It is all about creating the dream and vision and articulating that everybody is able to take the rainbow and put in pocket. It is all about making sure that people will get their value, people will automatically come to you.


A2. My question is for Mr. Bill Gates. After the internet, what technology will take the world now?
----------------------------------------------------------------

BILL GATES : We need to get a device which will get us value at the low cost. Like speech recognition, mapping devices etc. I see natural interface technology as the important area that shall dominate the sphere.

A3. My question is for Mr. Bill Gates. What human qualities are important for success?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : You need passion, intelligence and some kind of integrity to understand what your limits are. Very strong combination of all the three shall help to achieve success.


A4. My question is for Mr. Narayana Murthy. Very large companies are created in US. What do we need to do to have the same in India?
----------------------------------------------------------------
NARAYANA MURTHY : We need a more competitive market. Corporations have to realize the importance of innovation, good venture capital system, environment that enhances the quality of education system that focuses on problem solving and good set of mentoring who will take care of entrepreneurs’ linkages with the requisite networks.

BILL GATES : We always talk big companies like Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, etc. We don’t think of numerous companies that fail. It is all market economy that survives.


A5. My question is for Mr. Bill Gates. What is the fundamental difference between managing a startup and a large corporation?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : The leadership styles are quite different. When the companies grow, you acquire skill sets, create a system, take a step back, monitor the people and manage the managers.


PRANNOY ROY : The last question -Will you ever enter into politics?
----------------------------------------------------------------
BILL GATES : No
NARAYANA MURTHY : No

PRANNOY ROY: Thank you very much.
----------------------------------------------------------------

It is always nice to learn from wise persons who are real Leaders...

8 Monkeys - Its Real ...

Category: Management

******* 8 Monkeys *********
============================

(This is based on an actual experiment conducted in U.K.)


Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder,
leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.

Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are
sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.


Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the
other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up.

Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.


One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in
the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the
other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately
begins to climb the ladder.

All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea
why.

However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder. A second original
monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the
ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This
includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he's not on the
receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the
other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he's attacking
the new monkey. One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced.

Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been
sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of
them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without
having any idea why.


This is how any company's policies get Established.

CoimbatoreIT.com - CII Intiative

Recently I attended coimbatoreIT.com a forum conducted by Confederation of Indian Industry with sponsorship from Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) in the topic “Leveraging the Indian IT Advantage in Moving up the value chain”.

At 09:30 hrs exactly the program started with welcome remarks from Mrs. Nandini Rangaswamy, Chairperson, CII Coimbatore Zone.

After which the welcome address was given by Mr.B.Santhanam, Chairman, CII, Tamilnadu who talked on behalf of CII

Mr. S. Kosalaraman, IAS, District Collector, Coimbatore spoke about the Coimbatore infrastructure development and about the facilities the govt. is proposed to do for the Coimbatore development for this IT Initiative.

The next person to speak about the Governments Support about the IT Development in the state is Dr. C Chandramouli IAS, Secretary – Dept of Information Technology, Governement of Tamilnadu. While speaking about the state’s support for this IT Initiative and the Information Technology development in Tier-II Cities such as Coimbatore, Trichy, Madurai and hosur he told that it will be done on a basis known as P&P which stands for Public-Private Joint Venture for the development of Information Technology. He also nodded that very soon a committee will be created for providing adequate infrastructure in these cities.

The state has been trying to normalize the norms of land values standardization on the suburbs of Coimbatore and also holding talks with many international airlines to make Coimbatore an International airport soon, he added.

As per the statistical analysis done on these cities they have observed that Coimbatore provides almost all the facilities with good climate throughout the year and also having two neighboring sea ports Kochi and Chennai

After Dr. C Chandramouli, Mr. R. Chandrasekaran, Managing Director and Executive Vice President [Indian Operations], Cognizant Technology Solutions spoke about the advantage of the Coimbatore and why his company has chosen this place for Software Development.

While speaking, he gave definition for “Value” and while defining he told that a value can be defined in many ways, such as a verbal statement, a statistical statement and as a Mathematical equation. Value proposition is the key thing in any business.

He told that his company has grown 5.8 % in the total growth from Coimbatore itself. His company has chosen Coimbatore because of its exuberating talent pool and also the climate which oversees Bangalore and also has large number of engineering industries.

After Mr. R. Chandrasekaran’s inspiring talks, Mr. S. Thiagarajan, President, ETL Infrastructure Services Ltd has told about the proposed building model of the IT Park in Coimbatore and also about the BU-ELCOT Techcity planned inside the Bharathiyar University campus whish is going to be used for any company who wish to have their Research and Development facilities. He also showed the Blue print of the planning and what they are expecting from the government for the support of this Initiative.

He also showed some of his projects and explained about them briefly and concluded his words humorously by telling Coimbatore has also one key factor which many of them didn’t tell to outsiders which the population of Pretty faces in the city and concluded his talk for Refreshment Break

Mentor.......! what it is?

Hey guys,
I named my blog as Tech Mentor. Do you know what is mentor?

In Greek mythology, Mentor (sometimes Mentês) was the son of Alcumus and, in his old age, a friend of Odysseus. When Odysseus left for the Trojan War he placed Mentor in charge of his son, Telemachus, and of his palace. When Athena visited Telemachus she took the disguise of Mentor to hide herself from Telemachus' mother's suitors. (See Odyssey II, 255; 267.)

This is the source of the modern use of the word mentor: a trusted friend, counselor or teacher, usually a more experienced person. Some professions have "mentoring programs" in which newcomers are paired with more experienced people in order to obtain good examples and advice as they advance, and schools sometimes have mentoring programs for new students or students who are having difficulties.

The student of a mentor is called a protégé.

Mentor is also the name of two different leaders in the Trojan War:

King of the Cicones (according to the Iliad.)
King of the Taphians (according to the Odyssey.)
Historically, Mentor of Rhodes was a Greek mercenary who at various times fought either for or against Artaxerxes III.

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DIWALI.

May the festival of lights bring the happiness to you and your home.

Have a Happy and colorful, yet safe day!
