• Top tier holds array object, eg:  new Array(“002″,new Array(“BB1″,“BB2″))
•  Second tier array holds two dimension data: a string type “002″, and another array object new Array(“BB1″,”BB2″)
• Third tier holds multiple dimension data: “BB1″,”BB2″

<scripttype=”text/javascript”>

var array_demo = new Array( new Array(“001″,new Array(“AA1″))  ,   new Array(“002″,new Array(“BB1″,“BB2″))   ,   new Array(“003″,new Array(“CC1″,“CC2″,“CC3″))    );

</script>

I have no luck with ntext type : The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables.

varchar is the correct type to use — it has a  limit of 8000 characters

you can define your query string as below:

declare @@querystring varchar(max)

or

declare @@querystring varchar(8000)

Solution:  change “display:none;” to “visibility:hidden;” in ajax indicator’s css class. Now it works for all browsers above.

if I use /scripts/MicrosoftAjax.debug.js , it says “Sys.ArgumentUndefinedException: Value cannot be undefined. Parameter name: eventObject”

The solution is here http://forums.asp.net/t/1515105.aspx/2/10  solved by tpeczek.

1. add a hidden submit button in the form, for example:

<inputtype=submit id=”AJAXSubmitButton”name=”AJAXSubmitButton”value=”Update”style=”display:none;“/>

2. change ajax call function to

document.getElementById(“AJAXSubmitButton”).click();

so you are forcing the submit button to be clicked, to submit the ajax form.

Below post describes the problem on Jquery with Ajax update panel and provide a good solution

http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/article471-jquery-and-aspnet-ajax-updatepanel-.aspx

It can be used on colorbox as well, open jquery.colorbox.js  and add a function “pageLoad” ,and copy the content from “$(document).ready(function(){” to “pageLoad”

$(document).ready(function(){
     $(“.example7″).colorbox({width:”80%”, height:”80%”, iframe:true});
}); 
function pageLoad(sender,args){

if (args.get_isPartialLoad())

   {
       $(“.example7″).colorbox({width:”80%”, height:”80%”, iframe:true});

}

I found if I have null value in the first row, for example in addressline column, the rest of the records will be null in addressline column as well!

After some reseach I found the answer on MS website

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709353(v=vs.85).aspx

The Oledb driver is trying to determine the data type of each column, it must get confused by null value in the first row, so it ignore values for the rest of the rows.

The solution is to create a schema.ini file in the same directory with your text file, and before you retrive dataset, add configuration lines into schema.ini file. 

for example, if my file is called helloworld.txt, there are 4 columns in my file: firstname, lastname, adressline,age

I will call below method:

AddTXTFileSchema(“C:\my_file_directory\”,”schema.ini”,”helloworld.txt”)

Dim objRegEx As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
               mystring= objRegEx.Replace(mystring, "<[^>]*>", "")

But what if I also need to extract and keep all the urls from <a>tags.
I write a recursion function to convert all <a></a> to simple url string, it is in VB because the original project was developed in VB, yes I miss C# syntax

Public Function ConvertHyperlinksToText(ByVal source As String, ByVal startIndex As Integer) As String

        Dim result As String   ' Result to return
        result = source

        ' wrap the extracted URL string , for example you can use (),
        ' so "<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>" will become "(http://www.google.com)"
        ' in this example I use space before and after the url

        Dim urlLeftWrapperString As String = " "
        Dim urlRightWrapperString As String = " "

        ' Tag Start & End
        Dim tagStart As String = "<a "
        Dim tagEnd As String = "</a>"

        ' URL link Start & End, surround by double quote: href="http://www.google.com"
        Dim doubleQuoteLinkStart As String = " href="""
        Dim doubleQuoteLinkEnd As String = """"

        ' URL link Start & End, surround by single quote: href='http://www.google.com'
        Dim singleQuoteLinkStart As String = " href='"
        Dim singleQuoteLinkEnd As String = "'"

        Dim pos_tagStart As Integer
        Dim pos_tagEnd As Integer

        ' find position of tagStart and tagend

        pos_tagStart = result.ToLower().IndexOf(tagStart, startIndex)
        pos_tagEnd = result.ToLower().IndexOf(tagEnd, startIndex)

        ' Find the next  tag block

        If pos_tagStart > -1 And pos_tagEnd > -1 And pos_tagEnd > pos_tagStart Then
            Dim stringLeft As String
            Dim stringTagBlock As String

            stringRight = result.Substring(pos_tagEnd + 4, result.Length - (pos_tagEnd + 4))    '  is 4 characters
