This is for all of you (including me) who want a StumbleUpon toolbar in Google Chrome. I am big fan of StumbleUpon, I spent hours on clicking that small stumble button in firefox. Firefox is awesome but Chrome is faster.

StumbleUpon recently made a virtual toolbar for Chrome, but that’s not enough for a stumbleupon addict like me, because going on thier ite again and again to stumble is time consuming rather than a small stumble button on your browser window. So I just applied some simple tricks (may be you aware with those) and its done. Basically I need two things from StumbleUpon for chrome, which are

• A button in the bookmark bar with which I can stumble and
• another button in the bookmark bar with which I can submit the website (which I am viewing currently) to StumbleUpon.

I have achieved both of these. StumbleUpon provides a url code http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/ when you enter this url in browser, it will search and display a new website. To start stumbling in chrome just add a new page to bookmark bar, by right clicking on bookmark bar and sleect “Add Page” option. Then in the Name type anything (I typed “Stumble”) you like and in the next URL field enter http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/ URL, click OK to save and you’re done. Now click this button again and again and StumbleUpon will suggest new websites.

Now the next is submit current website to StumbleUpon, to achieve this add a new page in the bookmark bar (same as above) Type name (Submit to Stumble) and in th URL field type following javascript code,

javascript:document.location.href=’http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/’

+document.location.href;

(Type the above code in single line, I have divide it to fit in my blog’s content area)

Suppose you’re visiting the http://www.google.com/ then just click Submit to Stumble in button bookmark bar and StumleUpon will open the submit interface for you

This works for me, very well. I am waiting for StumbleUpon toolbar from StumbleUpon developers, but till then not worries, I have the two button which I use mostly. Take your time guyz.

Emails are the important part of any web application to make an interaction between website and end users. I got many queries from my friends for “How to send emails in ASP.NET”, so I have created a sample email sending application in asp.net to give you an idea about email sending in asp.net. So take a look at the how to make an application which will send emails.

First of all setup your mail server settings in web.config file, so that you’ll need not to define the mail server settings every time in code. In the web.config file define the <system.net> tag to define the mail server settings as below:

<!–Mail Server–>

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod=”Network”>
<network host=”your host name” port=”25″ userName=”" password=”" defaultCredentials=”false”/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

In the above settings change your host name in <network> tag. Port number usually default 25, but it depends on your mail server settings, add you username and password for mail server.

After setting up your mail server settings in web.config file, create a page from where you want to send emails. I have created default.aspx page from where I’ll send emails. In this page I have created a sample interface for sending emails, with some common fields, from, to, subject, and body of email with a Send Mail button. On click of the button I am executing the following code.

if (sendMail(txtfrom.Text, txtto.Text, txtsubject.Text, txtbody.Text))
{
lblmsg.Text = “Mail Sent”;
}
else
{
lblmsg.Text = “Some error has been occured, please try again!”;
}

In the above code I am executing a sendmail function in if condition, sendmail function returns a bool type (true or false) value. If emails sent successfully then it will return true else return false. On the basis of that bool value returned by the sendmail function I am displaying the error message if email sending is failed. Sendmail function is defined in this default.aspx file, just download the sample app below and look by yourself, if have any problem please comment below.

This is a simple mail sending application with minimal options you can also use CC, BCC, attachments etc, just explore more options from this (http://www.systemnetmail.com/) site which is specially made for describing the email sending method and function in ASP.NET 2.0.

Introduction

Hi, I found this video while surfing on YouTube and its pretty interesting, will tell you all the basic concept of developing a website in today’s world. Watch and listen it carefully (lyrics are included below). Have fun

Lyrics

Your site design is the first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the industry
easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can’t find what you want it causes frustration
a clear Call to action to increase the temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation
if you have animation
use with moderation
cause search engines can’t index the information
display the logos of all your associations
highlight your contact info that’s an obligation
create a clean design you can use some decoration
but to try to prevent any client hesitation
every page that they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like having a conversation
when you design the style go ahead and use your imagination
but make sure you use correct color combinations
do some investigation, look at other organizations
but don’t duplicate or you might face a litigation
design done, congratulations but it’s time to start construction
follow these instructions when you move into production
your Photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with div’s make sure that it’s aligned
please don’t use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time
make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font size
no background colors, keep your coding real neat,
tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet
better results with xml and css
now you making progress, a lil closer to success
describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won’t validate
check in all browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox
title everything including links and images
don’t use italics, use emphasis
don’t use bold, please use strong
if you use bold that’s old and wrong
when you use CSS, you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then they convert now that’s the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker
design and code right man I hope you get the picture
what I’m telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it’s built right you’ll be the pick of the litter
everyone will want to follow you like twitter
competition will get bitter and you’ll shine like glitter
if you trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you get with it
