What is JSON?

JSON stand for Java Script Object Notation, is a text base format, that contains the value in key value pair.

JSON can be used as

var objJSON = {"bindings": [
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "newURI", "regex": "^http://.*"},
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "deleteURI", "regex": "^delete.*"},
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "randomURI", "regex": "^random.*"}
]
};
In this example, an object is created containing a single member "bindings", which contains an array containing three objects, each containing "ircEvent", "method", and "regex" members.

Members can be retrieved using dot or subscript operators.

objJSON.bindings[0].method // "newURI"

Force User to Check in the code

My machine has been corrupted. Thank God mostly projects were checked in. I have lost some project code which was not checked in. Than I really feel the importance of VSS. Than I have found a option in Visual Studio which force you to check in your code before closing your project. I would like share it with you people.

Go to Tools- Option

A dialog box will open for you select Source Control -- Environment

After selecting Environment check the option (Enclosed in Red Color Box) “Check Everything When Closing Solution or Project”.

Find Element name on MouseDown IE-8

Yesterday I was working on click even of WebBrowser Control(HtmlDocument). I need to find element name on mouse down event. I have used simple method of WebBrowser

HtmlElement objHtmElem = objWebBrwser.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.MousePosition);

It was working fine in IE-5. But when I have installed IE-8. All the functionality has been disturbed. On mouse down it was giving Document Element name no matter matter where you have down your mouse.

After lot of googling I have solved the problem. Actually where we have used e.MousePosition we must use e.ClientMousePostion like..

HtmlElement objHtmElem = objWebBrwser.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition);

This works fine for both browser(IE-5 and IE-8).
