Available Preprocessor Directives

#define: Used to define the compilation identifier, such as the INTEGRATE_

TESTS identifier used in this chapter’s example. You would define this

at the top of a source code file to activate conditional preprocessor

statements used throughout the source code file. Using a #define

directive does not span multiple source code files.

#undef: Used to undefine an identifier. You would use #undef if you wanted

to change a global setting. Let’s say that an identifier is set globally,

but for a particular source code file, you want the behavior as if the

identifier were not set. In that case, you use #undef. Another way to

achieve this behavior is to use the ! character in front of the identifier.

#if and #endif: Used to conditionally include or not include a piece of source code.You would use a conditional directive whenever you wanted to define

source code configurations, such as for debug or production builds.

#elif: Instead of a single #if block, you could have multiple tests for code

inclusion. You would use #elif when you have more than a single

preprocessor directive, such as for debug, production, and performance

builds.

#else: A default code block that is included if the other #if statements did

not trigger.

#region and #endregion: These have absolutely nothing to do with the compilation of the source code. They are used by Visual Studio to create regions of source code that can be “folded.” Folding means to collapse a block of code

out of sight temporarily. Source code files can become long, and constantly

paging up and down becomes tedious. By folding the code,

you are reducing the amount of times that you need to page up and

down, even though the code still exists.

Exception Description

We can easily handle exception in c#. Here are some name and their description.

Exception :

Plain vanilla exception; a general container for all exceptions.

When you get one of these exceptions, look at the Message

property for the exact details. If you throw this type of

exception, it is important to supply an easy-to-understand

string to the exception constructor.

ArgumentException :

Thrown if you call a method and one of the arguments is not

valid. Typically, in the Message property you can find the

problem with the arguments. If this exception is thrown, it is

because the contents of the argument are wrong.

ArgumentNullException :

Thrown if you call a method where one of the arguments is

a null value. This could be because you are passing the null

value to the method or one of the arguments has a null value.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException :

 Thrown if you call a method where one of the arguments is not

in the expected range. While this exception sounds similar to

ArgumentException, :

  it is more specialized and targets whether

an argument is in an acceptable range. Check the

documentation of the method or the method implementation

on what the acceptable range is. If you throw this exception,

note the valid range in the error message.

ArithmeticException  :

 Thrown if a mathematical error is generated.

DivideByZeroException  :

 Thrown if you attempt to divide by zero.

FormatException  :

 Thrown if the format of the parameter is not correct. For

example, if a method expects a number to be formatted with

a period and you use a comma, an exception is generated.

IndexOutOfRangeException  :

 Thrown if you attempt to reference an index of an array that

would be beyond the limits of the array. This exception is

thrown if you have not allocated an array and then attempt to

reference an element, or if you attempt to reference a negative

index of the array.

InsufficientMemoryException :

  Thrown if not enough memory is available. Although this

exception is not generated often, it can be generated if you

attempt to allocate an array when you specify something along

the lines of 5 trillion elements (due to an improperly assigned

array size variable).

InvalidCastException  :

 Thrown if you attempt to cast one type to another type that is

not supported. This exception is very common when you use

inheritance and attempt a cast.

NotImplementedException :

  Thrown when using methods or properties without an

implementation. Often, you don’t have time to implement all

of the code at once. For those properties or methods that have

not been implemented, don’t leave an empty property or

method implementation. Instead, throw an exception. Then

you will know if you have forgotten to implement something.

NotSupportedException  :

 Thrown when you attempt to use an interface instance and

a method that cannot work. For example, if you open a readwrite

buffer to a read-only CD-ROM, you will get this exception

when writing to the CD-ROM. If you attempt to read from the

interface instance, an exception will not be thrown.

NullReferenceException :

  Thrown when you attempt to call a method or property of

a variable that has not been assigned with a valid type

instance.

OutOfMemoryException : Similar to InsufficientMemoryException.

OverflowException  :

 Thrown when you attempt to perform numeric operations that

are not supported, such as adding 2 billion to 2 billion using

a 32-bit integer.

SystemException Thrown by the operating system. :

 Do not attempt to derive

from this class.

Keep The Searched Values In The Fields In PHP

How to load data in a combobox without reloading the page from other page in PHP

Write the code in page a.php

<select name="company_id" id="company_id" >

                                                   <option></option>

                                                  

                                                   <?php

                                                   $getCompany = "select customer_id, company_name from customer WHERE customet_type = 1";

                                                   $getCompanyResult = mysql_query($getCompany);

                                                   while($getCompanyRows = mysql_fetch_object($getCompanyResult)){

                                                   ?>

                                                   <option value="<?php echo $getCompanyRows->customer_id ; ?>" <?php if($getCompanyRows->customer_id == $var->company_id){ echo "selected"; } ?> ><?php echo $getCompanyRows->company_name ; ?></option>

                                                  

                                                   <?php

                                                   }

                                                   ?>

                                                   </select>

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('b.php?hide_menu=1','popup','width=960,height=530,scrollbars=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=300,top=300'); return false">Add New Data</a>

In Page B:

Write some code to insert the data in database.

<script language="javascript">

//alert(window.opener.document.getElementById('company_id').value);

var optionstr = '<option></option>';

   <?php

   $getCompany = "select customer_id, company_name from customer WHERE customet_type = 1";

   $getCompanyResult = mysql_query($getCompany);

   while($getCompanyRows = mysql_fetch_object($getCompanyResult)){

   ?>

   optionstr +='<option value="<?php echo $getCompanyRows->customer_id ; ?>"><?php echo $getCompanyRows->company_name ; ?></option>';

   <?php

   }

   ?>

window.opener.document.getElementById('company_id').innerHTML= optionstr;

THERE ARE MOST FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW FOR BUILDING IPHONE APPLICATIONS

1. You need a mac os x( mac mini, or mac book or mac pro, anything you like)

2. To submit your work to apple you need a apple developer license as well.

3. The SDK is free to download, so you can build you application and test it on simulator without any cost. But if you want to test it on your iPhone/iPod touch or submit it to apple store, you must have a developer license.

4. To test your application, you must have either iPod or iPhone because Simulator and device behaves differently on some features like memory.  So I highly recommand you to buy one device as well.

5. Programming language is Objective – C and its very similar to C/C++, You don't need to spend much time to understand the language.
