Other Technologies

Apparently, I've been blabbering about .net technologies in this blog. It took one comment to this blog for me to realize that this blog was about technology, and not just .net technologies. Well, I don't know much about other programming language like perl or python or ror, as what was suggested, but I do know some other like Delphi, php, asp, asp.net, java, and c/c++.
It will take some time for me to post some though. So stay tuned. I'm still gold-digging for resources as I lost many of my codes. Maybe I'll start off with php-mysql. Maybe, I'll also write about flash. I've worked on a DTR with webcam in flash. I'm currently working on a payroll system using php-mysql and jquery. Jquery is also cool. I'll have to do more searching for golden treasures inside my head for those codes that might be of interest to people. I'll also welcome suggestions from whoever might stumble upon this blog. Afterall, it's about tech.

Meanwhile, you might want to take a look at this website which talks everything about gold. I didn't know that there are several kinds of gold. I don't even know what a gold bullion is. Well, have a look at their website at http://www.goldcoinsgain.com/

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns: ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...

Number to Text in Excel

I was asked today by one of my classmates about converting numeric values to literal values in excel. I thought there was a function for this but I found none. Well I was curious so I looked it up on the web . I've done a little modification here to make it more or less generic (specially when writing in checks). Here's how it's done: Click Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor Insert a module Paste the following code: Option Explicit '**************** ' Main Function * '**************** Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Temp, WholeNumberText, DecimalText Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount. MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal pl...

Using Firebird with ASP.net

In my previous post , I was able to connect a firebird 2.0 database to asp.net using controls. The next goal was to connect to a firebird database using the firebird.net engine and using the repeater control. I however, was able to use the firebird.net engine to connect to the firebird database but not to the repeater control. I used the html table tag. I've created a simple asp.net demo displaying the contents of a firebird database on page load. Here are the steps: 1. Things Needed: Firebird 2.0 Server Firebird 2.0 Client Visual Web Developer 2. In Visual Web Developer, create a new ASP.net Website (using C# as the programming language). The project will have a default page named Default.aspx. Make sure that the code is separate from the page (ex. Default.aspx.cs is separate from Default.aspx) 3. On the Website menu, click on Add Reference. 4. Select the Firebird - ADO.net 2.0 Data Provider and click Ok. 5. Add using FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient; to the "using" sec...
