C#: Serialization

IFormatter Interface is pretty handy to serialization! You can use it with BinaryFormatter Class. This is a very simple example of object serialization.

JavaScript onmouseover

When you want to display 3 or more images one after another, you should use Javascript onmouseover.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <HTML>
 <img id="image" src="images/1.gif" onmouseover="rotate_images()">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<test.js>
var counter=1;
function rotate_images()
{
        if(counter >= 3){
        counter = 0;
        }
        var images = new Array("1.gif","2.gif", "3.gif");
        document.getElementById("image").src  = "images/" + images[counter];       
        counter++;
}

C# LINQ Grouping Search using "Key"

LINQ is quite useful because you can write SQL in C#. It may be confusing at first, thought.
Key is used with group clause. The following websites can be helpful.

           static void  Method_1()
        {
            Car[] cars = Planet.Cars;
            var group_query = from c in cars group c by c.Price into g select new { Price = g.Key, Cars = g };

            foreach (var g in group_query)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("\n---Car priced{0:c}", g.Price);
                foreach (var c in g.Cars)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("\nMake:{0}\nModel:{1}\nYear:{2}\nPrice:{3:c}", c.Make, c.Model, c.Date_Made.Year, c.Price);
                }

Design Pattern: Singleton

This must be fantastic!!!The concept is that it restricts the instantiation to a certain number of objects. Singleton can make a software more secure and more organized.

The workplace and Vivid

How should the workplace be like? Spacious? Clean? Luxurious?

I don't care where I work, I really care who I work with. I just want to work with people who are encouraging and organized. And I also should be like that, I hope I am...

 
I went to Vivid festival, it was fantastic! I'm sure I'll go next year again!!!
