2013-10-27T04:28:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

After 6 year of CBM Calculator support and development we had launched new version of CBM Calculator to calculate volume for single type of cartons.

In this user need to enter length, width, height and carton gross weight either in cm and kg / inch and lbs. CBM Calculator will calculate cubic meter, cubic feet, gross weight, volumetric weight and quantity approximation for all type of containers. You can check this version at CBM Calculator.

Apart this new type of simple calculator, CBM Calculator offers advance online version for multiple type of cartons. You can calculate volume and weight targeting one container or you can let CBM Calculator suggest you container type and no of containers required. Try this at online CBM Calculator.

If you are not comfortable with online working you can always use our windows version from Windows CBM Calculator version.

So try these calculators and let us know your feedback.

Thanks.

Mix different .Net Framework on Windows 2003 Server

2011-11-10T06:14:00.001-08:00

This tutorial is for setting up websites based on .Net Framework 2.0 and 4.0 on windows 2003 server.

Very first thing we should keep in mind that IIS 6.0 application pools do not allow mixed .Net Framework.

Here I am showing pictures for making new application pool in IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0

IIS 6.0 New application pool dialogue

IIS 7.0 New application pool dialogue

As you can see in IIS 6.0 we do not have option for selecting .Net Framework

Steps to setting up mixed .Net Framework(2.0/4.0) on Windows 2003 ServerStep-1We will create two different application pool. I named them DotNet2Pool and DotNet4Pool you can give any name as per your choice.

Step-2Now assign application pool as per .Net requirement of your website as shown in figure

You can check and set your website .Net Framework requirement as shown in below image.

Please make sure do not use .Net Framework 2.0 application pool on ASP.net 4.0 website and vice-versa.

Thanks!

Format numbers with Indian style commas.

2011-11-01T02:16:00.000-07:00

In our ERP projects we usually need to display commas in numbers. In most of the format we did not get Indian style commas. So I had developed this class. Its main function is Put_Commas it take string as input and return string with commas.

Public Class ClsCommas

Public Function Put_Commas(ByVal PassString As String) As String

Dim IsNegative As Boolean

Dim DecimalPart As String

Dim TLen As Long 'Length of String without "-" and "."

Dim LString As String 'String for Storing Changed String

'-------

'Check Must Be Greater than 999

'------

If System.Math.Abs(Decimal.Parse(PassString)) <= 999 Then

Put_Commas = PassString

Exit Function

End If

'-------------

'Check Negative Values

'-------------

If Decimal.Parse(PassString) < 0 Then

IsNegative = True

PassString = Right(PassString, Len(PassString) - 1)

Else

IsNegative = False

End If

'---------

'Remove Decimal Part

'---------

If PassString.Contains(".") Then

DecimalPart = Right(PassString, Len(PassString) - PassString.IndexOf("."))

PassString = Left(PassString, InStr(1, PassString, ".") - 1)

Else

DecimalPart = ""

End If

'-----------------

TLen = Len(PassString)

If TLen > 3 Then 'First Time Three Char

LString = Right(PassString, 3)

TLen = TLen - 3

PassString = Left(PassString, Len(PassString) - 3)

Else

LString = ""

End If

Do While TLen > 2

LString = Right(PassString, 2) + "," + LString

TLen = TLen - 2

PassString = Left(PassString, Len(PassString) - 2)

Loop

LString = Trim(PassString) + "," + Trim(LString)

'--------------

'Add Decimal Part

'-------------

If Trim(DecimalPart) <> "" Then

If Trim(DecimalPart.Contains(".")) = False Then

LString = LString + "." + DecimalPart

Else

LString = LString + DecimalPart

End If

'-------------------------------------------------

End If

'-----------

'Check for Negative

'-----------

If IsNegative Then

LString = "-" + Trim(LString)

End If

Put_Commas = LString

End Function

Private Function Right(ByVal PassStr As String, ByVal RChar As Integer) As String

Dim LStr As String

Try

LStr = PassStr.Substring(PassStr.Length - RChar, RChar)

Return LStr

Catch ex As Exception

Return PassStr

End Try

End Function

Private Function Left(ByVal PassStr As String, ByVal LChar As Integer) As String

Dim LStr As String

Try

LStr = PassStr.Substring(0, LChar)

Return LStr

Catch ex As Exception

Return PassStr

End Try

End Function

End Class

The specified network name is no longer available

2011-10-31T07:48:00.000-07:00

Hi,

I am posting this information in hope that It will save some time of yours.

I was facing a strange issue when trying to connect my windows 7 ultimate to windows 2003 domain.

Windows 7 computer configuration is

Processor:	Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @3.10GHz 3.10 GHz
Installed memory (RAM)	2.00 GB
System type:	32-bit Operating System

Wireless card: WG311v3 (54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter from NetGear)

After installation of driver from netgear website i am able to install card and also able to ping my server and router. Now when I am trying to connect this windows 7 system to windows 2003 domain it produce error "The specified network name is no longer available" after a very long duration.

Where as same configuration (with Intel Core 2 Duo) on my another system is working perfectly and I am able to connect to my domain.

So I decided to change my network card and used DIGISOL DG-WN1150N and it works and I am able to connect to my domain.

What I feel that some issue exist with netgear and i3 processor. If you have same problem and able to solve with netgear please update me also.

driver cannot start code 10 windows 7 (Solved)

2011-10-31T05:52:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Finally I am able to solve this issue. In my case main problem was 4 GB RAM.

During search on Internet I found on netgear website following knows issues

1) Win7 32 and Win 64 are not WHQL certified.
2) Win7 64 users have to "disable driver signing¨ when restarting PC every time. (Win7 x86 is fine)
3) For Win7 32 and Win 64, If the user has 4GB or more of ram installed on PC, it could show code 10 error and fail for installation.
4) Error code 10 occuring when installing or running driver for some PC.

Happy Coding!!

Sending email from asp.net

2010-06-26T10:35:00.000-07:00

These are very basic step needed to send email from asp.net. I am here not explaining error handling and attachment in mail message.Make sure to import system.net.mail namespace


Dim XMail As New MailMessage ‘Declare a mail object
Dim XSmtp As New SmtpClient ‘declare object of Smtp client

‘Set mail from
XMail.From = New MailAddress("xyzfrom@domain.com", "From display name")
‘set mail to, here we can add multiple addresses

XMail.To.Add("xyzto@domain.com")
‘set cc for mail message, in the same way we can set name in to also
XMail.CC.Add(New MailAddress("xyzcc@domain.com", "cc display name"))
XMail.Subject = "email subject"
XMail.Body = "email body"
‘host will provide you email service provider
XSmtp.Host = "mail.domain.com"
‘credentials will be your email address and password
XSmtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyzfrom@domain.com", "password")
‘send email
XSmtp.Send(XMail)

Convert SQLDataReader to DataTable

2010-06-25T21:20:00.000-07:00

In ADO.Net SQLDataReader is a way of reading forward-only streams of sql server database.
SqlDataReader cannot be inherited. Only one SqlDataReader can open on associated SQL Connection.

This function is handy in the case of you want to store result of the reader to table and want to open further SqlDataReader on same SQL Connection.

This function receives SqlDataReader as Input and return DataTable as return


Public Function ReaderToTable(ByVal LReader As SqlDataReader) As Data.DataTable
Dim LTable As New Data.DataTable
Dim I As Integer
'Create table structure and get data type from each column
For I = 0 To LReader.FieldCount - 1
       LTable.Columns.Add(LReader.GetName(I).ToString(), LReader.GetFieldType(I))
Next

'now start writing the rows
Do While LReader.Read()
    Dim DRow As DataRow
    DRow = LTable.Rows.Add()
    For I = 0 To LReader.FieldCount - 1
        DRow.Item(LTable.Columns(I).ColumnName) = LReader.Item(I)
    Next
Loop

'give a name to table
LTable.TableName = "Reader"
Return LTable
End Function
