Conventions and Trade shows

Another semester is about to end. This is the time when marketing and promotional activities start to take place. For universities and colleges, their admission's office becomes busy going to high schools to give seminars and aptitude exams. Tough competition awaits each of the prestigious schools because of their quest to recruit the best and brightest students. Some will conduct national conventions to be able to gather attention and provide visibility to their organization. Many gimmicks from the best marketers arise. Despite all the tricks, one method still remains widely used: trade show exhibits, displays and trade show booths. Well, we can't deny however that it's still a jungle out there. It's not enough to just have our trade show booths to place whatever exhibits we may have.
Or just display our flyers and all other marketing materials. In every sumptuous food, there is a side dish. To add a "side dish" to our booths, some tools may be necessary. One example would be the trade show flooring or trade show carpet. It's not that difficult to find affordable display flooring, display/exhibit carpeting, interlocking carpet & floor tiles, portable hardwood flooring, printed carpet. logo floor mats, and even inlaid logos. You can also buy logo mats and logo canopy from many different providers. All you need is a browser, and Google. Google 'em up and you'll find tons of companies giving such services.

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va...

How to cheat blog polls

Ok, I really need to post this. Many bloggers put polls on their blog sites and rely heavily on the results that they give and some even draw conclusions based on those data. The problem is that they don't check where the data those polls are generating are stored. Many polls don't even record the voter's information. Well to those of you who want to cheat polls (I mean blog polls. Some polls are really reliable), here are some points: 1. These polls don't store your IP address nor your MAC address, how then do you think are they checking for flying voters? COOKIES! 2. Now you already have an idea. Now try to vote to a blogger's poll then clear your cookies and refresh the page. You'll be able to vote again. 3. If #2 doesn't work, there's a big chance that your voting data is stored on internet temporary files. Now you know what to do. Delete those files. 4. If #3 doesn't work, then your data might have been stored elsewhere. You might want to use a ...

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...
