Answer: This.navigationservice.Refresh();

Q6: Name and Explain two categories of binary’s resources?

Answer: Resource: embed resources into the assembly

Content: This leaves resources as loose files and upon compilation this resource information is not
embedded into assembly

Q7: Enlist three benefits of ObjData Provider?

Answer: By utilizing the XML or Object data providers, we can bind to different types of objects in
our applications
ObjectDataProvider provides a convenient way to create and use objects as binding source objects in
XAML
ObjectDataProvider enables you to create your object in XAML and make it available as a binding
source. It provides the following properties that enable you to execute a query on your object and bind
to the results.
Use the ConstructorParameters property to pass parameters to the constructor of your object.
Use the MethodName property to call a method and use the MethodParameters property to pass
parameters to the method. You can then bind to the results of the method.

Q8: Ajax is interaction of which type of technologies?

Answer:
Ajax interactions can be used to do things such as validate form entries (while the user is entering
them) using server-side logic, retrieve detailed data from the server, dynamically update data on a

Q10: Write Output:

msbuild/t:updateuidProjectName.csProj
LocBaml/parseProjectName_g_en_US.resources/out:-US-csv
Answer:
msbuild /t:updateuid ProjectName.csproj
running this gives every object element in every XAML file in the project on x:Uid directive with a
unique
value and
LocBaml /parse ProjectName.g.en-US.resources /out:en-US.csv
this generate a simple .csv file contianing all the property values you should need to localize

Q11: When browser sends request to web server, in which formats server sends back information to
web server? Give 4 examples?

Answer: Web servers receive request and responds as Html, plain text and XML, JSON

Q12: Ali wants to bind the entire set of XML data to Tree n Menue write the code?

Answer: Text="{Binding Source={x:Reference treeview}, Path=selecteditem.Header}"

<xmldataprovider x:Key="dataprovider" xpath="gamestats">

If you want to bind to xml tree.

<xmldataprovider x:Key="dataprovider" xpath="gamestats" Source="gamestats.xml"/>

<Label Content="{Binding Source={staticresource dataprovider},
Xpath=gamestat/highscore, Path=outerxml}"/>
Q13: How to localize binary resource. Write code.

Answer: localizing binary resources. Can partition into satellite assembly and use locbaml to manage
string localization. To spec. A default culture and auto. Build a satellite assembly, you can to set
uiculture. Need to open project file in a text ed. Add under debug, release etc. Or where it effects all
prop. If you rebuild your project with this setting in place, youll find an en-US folder alongside your
assembly, containing the satellite assembly named assemblyname.resources.dll. Also mark assembly
with the neutral resource language matching.
<Project >
<propertygroup>
<uiculture>en-US</uiculture>
[assembly: neutralresourceslanguage("en-US",
Ultimateresourcefallbacklocation.Satellite)]
Next, apply Uid directive to any element needing localization. Msbuild /t:updateuid
projectname.csproj. Locbaml /parse projectname.g.en-US.resources /out:en-US.csv. Now edit and
localize all strings. Locbaml /generate Project-Name.resources.dll /trans:fr-CA.csv /cul:fr-CA. Then
copy the assembly with a name matching the locale. To test,
System.Threading.Thread.currentthread.currentuiculture (and
System.Threading.Thread.currentthread.currentculture) to an instance of the desired cultureinfo.

Q14: Which object is the core of Ajax?

Answer: GET or POST

The XMLHttpRequest object is a data transport object that is the core of AJAX
Q15: Write code of the property which tells the location manager n accuracy.

Answer: Distancefilter and desiredaccuracy properties.

// Create location manager object
Locationmanager= [[cllocationmanager alloc] init];
// We want all results from the location manager
[locationmanager setdistancefilter:kcldistancefilternone];
// And we want it to be as accurate as possible
// regardless of how much time/power it takes
[locationmanager setdesiredaccuracy:kcllocationaccuracybest];
// Tell our manager to start looking for its location immediately
[locationmanager startupdatinglocation];
// This line may say self.window, don’t worry about that

for (index = element.length - 1; index >= 0; index--) {
element[index].parentNode.removeChild(element[index]);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$(“button”).Click(function(){
$(“p”).hide();
});
});
Q17: How we can implement content, like add pictures, change content in a page?
Answer: <listbox x:Name="picturebox"
Itemssource="{Binding Source={staticresource photos}}" >
</listbox >

The jquery simplifies all steps except that of changing the webpage simplest is load function which
loads HTML into an area of web page e.g. Load news in a div from a web-server
$(’#headlines’).load(’todays news.html’); can only load from same site... Relative urls possible to add
only a part $(’#headlines’).load(’todays news.html #news’);.

Q18:. How a server response to browser's request? Give at least 4 examples

Answer:
JS, server-side programming, and web browser, all work together. Web browser: xmlhttprequest
object. Makes ajax possible. Talks to web server and get response. JS: sends request, waits for
response, process response, updates web page. Web server: receives request and responds as HTML,
plain text, XML, JSON. Or application server for more complicated tasks. Need web server for ajax
examples.

Q19: binding

Answer: In last lecture, we discused data binding, binding object, markup extension, bind to any prop
with inotifypropertychanged, target must be dependency property, bind to obj. So no property path,
binding to collection, issynchronized with current item, datacontext, displaymemberpath,
stringformat, datatemplate, valueconverter.

Q21: Choose selected data items i.e target items just like last 7 days pictures?

Answer: Filtering gives a property Filter of type Predicate¡Object¿. Its null by default e.g. Show only
photos from last 7 days.

Q22: Jquery code: $ ('li:has(a)') output ???

Answer:
The code $('li:has(a)') matches a <li> if a <a> exists anywhere among its descendants, not just as a
direct child.
Q23: How can we present a window from automatically being activated when its is first show?

Showactivated=false, initially not shown
Public static void Main()
{
Mainwindow window = new mainwindow();
Window.Show();
}

Q24: When it is preferable to use begininvoke then invoke?

Answer: Long running operations make application unresponsive. Because main thread used for
rendering UI and responding to events. Start up worker thread and update UI when finished. But UI
updation usually possible only on UI thread. So, forward the request to UI thread.(or marshal it). Low
level way is to call begininvoke or Invoke on the elements Dispatcher object. It takes a delegate and
queues it on the UI thread. Invoke does same but then blocks until it is done. So you can return a
value. But if you dont need begininvoke is better.

Q25: Identify client side languages and server side languages cold fusion, asp.net, java script and php?

Answer: Server-Side Coding

JS is a prog lang and can be used on server side. The document sent to the browser may often contain
client-side scripts. ASP.NET, PHP, Java, ColdFusion, Perl, Python, and Ruby are examples of
languages used for server-side coding.

Q26: What are the 2 problems of memory management in IOs?

Answer: Freeing or overwriting data that is still in use. This causes memory corruption, and typically
results in your application crashing, or worse, corrupted user data.
Not freeing data that is no longer in use causes memory leaks. A memory leak is where allocated
memory is not freed, even though it is never used again. Leaks cause your application to use ever-
increasing amounts of memory, which in turn may result in poor system performance or (in iOS) your
application being terminated.

Q27: Write the Properties of touch point?

Q30: When using navigation in WPF, content is typically organized in which element?

When using navigation in WPF, content is typically organized in Page elements.

Page elements can then be hosted in one of two built-in navigation containers:
NavigationWindow or Frame.
These containers provide a way to navigate from one page to another, a “journal” that keeps track of
navigation history, and a series of navigation-related events.

Q31: why we write navigation in one line line in a web page? syntax of navigation?

Answer: // Or navigate to a page via a URI

This.navigationservice.Navigate(new Uri("photopage.xaml", urikind.Relative));
This.commandbindings.Add( new commandbinding(applicationcommands.Help, helpexecuted,
helpcanexecuted));

Q32: Write properties of MousePoint?

Answer: pageX page Y screenX screenY

Q33: What is "Command" in WPF?

Answer: Commands are a more abstract and loosely coupled version of events e.g. cut copy paste
commands. They are exposed in various ways. They can be enabled disabled e.g. if there is nothing to
paste.

And why the accuracy is important?

Q36: how can we destroy an object in objective-C?

Answer:
Set the variable referencing to that object to nil.
Or
Destroy using [array Instance release]; Should also array Instance = nil; Otherwise dangling. but
Sending message to nil is ok. nil is like null

Q43: Core Locations Framework contains which types of classes ? (2 Marks)

Answer: Page 218

Core Locations classes that enable finding geographical position. distanceFilter and desiredAccuracy
properties.

Q44: when we preferred BeginInvoke instead of Invoke method? (2 Marks)

Answer:
There are times when you want to invoke a delegate and wait for its execution to complete before the
current thread continues. In those cases the Invoke call is what you want.
In multi-threading applications, you may not want a thread to wait on a delegate to finish execution,
especially if that delegate performs I/O (which could make the delegate and your thread block). In
those cases the BeginInvoke would be useful.
 Q45: what is difference between server Side programming and Client Side Programming? (3
Marks)

Answer:
Server-side programming is the general name for the kinds of programs which are run on the Server.
Uses
 Process user input.
 Display pages.
 Structure web applications.
 Interact with permanent storage (SQL, files).
Much like the server-side, Client-side programming is the name for all of the programs which are run
on the Client.
Uses
 Make interactive webpages.
 Make stuff happen dynamically on the web page.
 Interact with temporary storage, and local storage (Cookies, localStorage).
 Send requests to the server, and retrieve data from it.
 Provide a remote service for client-side applications, such as software registration, content
delivery, or remote multi-player gaming.

Q46: define iOS feature of Block and also provide its syntax? (3 Marks)

Answer:
Blocks are a new feature that was introduced in iOS 4.0 and Mac OSX 10.6. Blocks can greatly
simplify code. They can help you reduce code, reduce dependency on delegates, and write cleaner,
more readable code.
A Block is a chunk of code that can be executed at some future time.
Blocks are first-class functions, which is a fancy way of saying that Blocks are regular Objective-C
objects. Since they’re objects, they can be passed as parameters, returned from methods and
functions, and assigned to variables.
Syntax: return_type (^block_name)(param_type, param_type, ...)

"Retain count rules. Init, new, copy in name. Assume you own. Any other means. Assume in
autorelease. If you dont own and want to make sure, call retain. No longer need and own than release
or autorelease. When 0 count, dealloc called." - Direct from handbook, I have no idea what it means.

Q49: define in detail modes of data binding (5 marks)

Answer:
Binding Modes:
 One-Way
 Two-Way
 OneWayToSource
 OneTime
One way : The target is updated whenever the source changes.
Two-Way Binding means change to either the target or source updates the other
OneWayToSource is the opposite of One-Way binding. the source is changed whenever the target
changes.
One-Time binding is like one-way except changes to the source are not reflected at the target. The
target retains a snapshot of the source at the time the Binding is initiated.
