I started to work with ADO.NET Entity Framework last week evaluating it from my future projects.

Assume that we have created a SP for inserting data into a table. After we do a function import of the SP. When we do a function mapping of SP there are three options as shown below       But we may have only the Insert Stored Procedure and there is no need for Update and Delete.

While working with JQuery I could not get it work since I referenced the file as shown below   < script language ="javascript" src = "~/JavaScript/jquery-1.3.1.js ' type ="text/javascript"></ script >   The reason was that I was using a Master Page and hence I had to do the following to get it work   < script language ="javascript" src =' <% =ResolveUrl("~/JavaScript/jquery-1.3.1.js" ) %> ' type ="text/javascript"></ script >   Most of the example provide are without the use of Master Pages hence you never get the issue.   Hope this helps   Cheers!!!    

Today had been to the BDOTNET session. The session was on Cloud Computing which is going to be a series on Windows Azure .

This is a interesting article I found on www.bennyhinn.org . This talks about the six steps for healing, which states as follows   1) Look to Jesus as a Life saver, delighting to bless and heal you. 2) Believe that God's abundance of life is for you and that you may have it by believing and continuing to believe. 3) Know that it is God's will to heal not only others but also you. Healing is in the Atonement; therefore, it includes all. 4) Remember that healing begins within. You reach God and He reached you through your inner man. 5) Know that the only way you can overcome fear is through your faith in God. 6) Use a point of contact for the release of your faith.   Read the full article at http://www.bennyhinn.org/articles/articledesc.cfm?id=6466&ps=ylhome&hb=yourlife&pid=226   Thanks & Regards Shaju Thomas|Architecture, Design & Delivery | Credstar | First Advantage OffShore Services Pvt.
