Microsoft releases ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

Yesterday Microsoft released "Atlas" or what has become ASP.NET Ajax 1.0. Scott Guthrie has the big news and Mary Jo Foley here on ZDNet has some good information as always. You can go grab the framework on the ASP.NET AJAS website.

So we're finally seeing a release version of Microsoft's commitment to the standards-based web and by most accounts, they've done a good job. Scott has an example of the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit running inside of Opera so I think they want to make clear that Microsoft is targeting developers rather than trying to lock in consumers. This has implications for how WPF/E fits into the strategy, so I think this release is a good sign for all of us hoping to see Microsoft go more cross-platform.

The other thing to mention is that Scott talked briefly about "Orcas" the next iteration of Visual Studio:

All of the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 features will be integrated directly into the next release of ASP.NET (codename: "Orcas"). Visual Studio "Orcas" will also provide client-side JavaScript intellisense, JavaScript compilation checking, and rich JavaScript debugging support for ASP.NET AJAX scenarios.

"Orcas" promises to be a pretty impressive release with its support of ASP.NET AJAX as well as XAML/WPF intelllisense. I'm still not entirely clear how ASP.NET AJAX and WPF/E will fit together, but because WPF/E supports JavaScript, I think we'll see some synergy there and that one technology will be able to help the other as they grow.

Access Different interface method with same Name implemented in a class

We use interface and multiple interface inherit it into class, then we implement the methods of interface as it is necessary but what will happen if two interface have the same mentods with same signature and inherited in the same class? Now questions arises from here are : Q1) Both the methods will be implementable which is with the same name and signature? Q2) If methods are implementable then how it is possible? Q3) If it is possible then can we access both the methods? Q3) If it is possible then what is the way to access these methods publically? The answer of all the above question is below: 1) Yes both the methods with same name and signature is implementable. 2) we have to implement interface explicitely preceding with iterface name. 3) Yes it is possible to access the methods. 4) Yes we can

Should have on tips of our lips.........ACID PROPERTIES

Introduction    When ever we process any DML statements transactions are implicitly called. Ie. when ever no begin  transaction statement insert ,delete, update statements will have transaction statements around them implicitly. ACID concept is one of the oldest and important properties of the Database. It sets forward four goals that every database management system must strive to achieve: atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability. No database that fails to meet any of these four goals can be considered reliable. Atomicity Atomicity states that database modifications must follow an "all or nothing" rule. Each transaction is said to be "atomic." If one part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails. It is critical that the database management system maintain the atomic nature of transactions in spite of any DBMS, operating system or hardware failure. Consistency Consistency states that only valid data will be written to the database. If,...
