Simple Tutorial with example of using LINQ to SQL in ASP.Net Website using C#


This article covers the basics of adding and generating dbml classes, connecting to database, adding Table entities and Stored Procedures


In this article I will explain a simple tutorial with example to integrate LINQ to SQL Framework (dbml classes) in ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.
This article covers the basics of adding and generating dbml classes, connecting to database, adding Table entities and Stored Procedures.
 
HTML Markup
Below is an ASP.Net GridView with some fields from the Customers Table of the Northwind Database.
<asp:GridView ID="gvCustomers" CssClass="Grid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
    PageSize="10" AllowPaging="true" OnPageIndexChanging="OnPageIndexChanging">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="CustomerId" HeaderText="Customer Id" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="ContactName" HeaderText="Contact Name" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Country" HeaderText="Country" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>
 
 Stored Procedures
I am making use of a Stored Procedure that will get the records from the Customers Table of the Northwind database.
CREATE PROCEDURE [GetCustomers]
AS
BEGIN
      SELECT [CustomerID]
      ,[CompanyName]
      ,[ContactName]
      ,[City]
      ,[Country]
      FROM [Customers]
END
 
 Binding the GridView using LINQ to SQL Framework
This is fairly simple, you will need to create an object of the Data Context of the DBML
C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!this.IsPostBack)
    {
        this.PopulateCustomers();
    }
}
 
private void PopulateCustomers()
{
    CustomersDataContext ctx = new CustomersDataContext();
    gvCustomers.DataSource = ctx.GetCustomers();
    gvCustomers.DataBind();
}
 
protected void OnPageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
    gvCustomers.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
    this.PopulateCustomers();
}

Difference between each and map in jquery

Image
$.map $.each map method can be used as an iterator. each method is an immutable iterator Returns a new array Returns the original array The order of callback arguments - element, index. $.map(elems,  function  () { element, index }, arg) The order of callback arguments - index, element. $.each(elems,  function  () { index, element }, arg) Does not have a way to terminate the iteration Return false to terminate the iteration Example :  Notice that the callback arguments in the each method are the reverse of the callback arguments in the map function. Also notice that map returns a new array where as each method returns the original array. This proves the point that each method is an immutable iterator where as map is not. $(document).ready( function  () {      var  intArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];      function  functionA(index, element) {          return ...
