Use of SET NOCOUNT in sql server

By

Introduction:
In my previous article I have explained about  how to Restrict the number of rows affected in SQL Server. In  this article I will explain about the use of in SET NOCOUNT sql server.

Explanation:
When SET NOCOUNT is ON, the count is not returned. When SET NOCOUNT is OFF, the count is returned.
The @@ROWCOUNT function is updated even when SET NOCOUNT is ON.
SET NOCOUNT ON prevents the sending of DONE_IN_PROC messages to the client for each statement in a stored procedure. For stored procedures that contain several statements that do not return much actual data, setting SET NOCOUNT ON can provide a significant performance boost, because network traffic is greatly reduced.
The setting specified by SET NOCOUNT is in effect at execute or run time and not at parse time.

Syntax:

SET NOCOUNT { ON | OFF }

Examples:
The following example prevents the message about the number of rows affected from being displayed.

USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
GO
-- Display the count message.
SELECT TOP(5)LastName
FROM Person.Contact
WHERE LastName LIKE 'A%';
GO
-- SET NOCOUNT to ON to no longer display the count message.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
GO
SELECT TOP(5) LastName
FROM Person.Contact
WHERE LastName LIKE 'A%';
GO
-- Reset SET NOCOUNT to OFF
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
GO

Dynamically programmatically add contols at run time Asp.Net

By
Introduction: In my previous article I have explained about What is View State? How to Store and retrieve values from View State . In this article I am going to explain how to add controls programmatically on run time. Explanation: This example adds a text box and button to a Web Forms page at run time. It also dynamically binds an event handler to the button's   Click   event. The handler displays the values of the dynamically generated text box. The controls are added into a   Panel   Web server control, which acts as a placeholder. The controls are separated in the panel with line breaks (HTML <BR> elements), which are added to the panel using the   LiteralControl   control.

C# Extension Methods Example

By
In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
