Technobabble from a .Net developer on the loose…
Nothing advanced here, I just wanted to store this code snippet somewhere for easy reuse…
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"...");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from employee", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
using (conn)
{
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
...
}
}
The GIMP is a great, free image manipulation program. It can do a lot but it’s not always obvious how it can perform a certain task.
For example, creating a transparent GIF was something I could not find how to do. Luckily, there are other bloggers out there to help:
The Gimp: Making Colors in a GIF Transparent (A.P. Lawrence).
Good tip and it works great.
