Chapter NO.24 Short Notes

1). Commands are a more robust and loosely coupled version of:
• Events

2). WPF defines a number of

• Built-in Commands

3). Any object can work as a command by:

• Implementing icommand

4). icommand includes:

• Execute
• CanExecute
• CanExecuteChanged

5). For cut, copy and paste we can define and implement three classes mplementing
• icommand

6).Pre-defined Built-in Commands:

• Application Commands
• Component Commands
• Media Commands
• Navigation commands
• Editing Commands
7). All instances of RoutedUiCommand implement icommand and support bubbling

8). Custom Commands don’t get the treatment of CommandConverter.

9). You can add KeyBinding and MouseBinding yourself.

10). Example of KeyBinding:

• This.InputBinding.Add(New KeyBinding(ApplicationCommands.Help, new

KesyGeasture(Key.F2)));
• <Windows.InputBindings> <KeyBinding Command = “Help” Key = “F2”> <KeyBinding
Command = “NotaCommand” Key = “F1”> </Windows.InputBindings>
• This.InputBinding.Ass(New KeyBinding(ApplicationCommands.NotaCommand, new
KeyGesture(Key.F1)));

11) TextBox is an example of Control with builtin command binding that responds to ctrl-z
etc.

12) WPF Input Events make possible rich interactive content.

13) Application Commands:

Close Save
Copy SaveAll
New Stop
Open Undo
Cut Delete
Print Find
Properties Replace
Save SaveAs
Stop Undo

14) Component Commands:

MoveDown ScrollPageRight
MoveLeft ScrollPageUp
MoveRight SelectToHome
SelectToEnd MoveUp
ScrollByLine SelectToPageDown
ScrollPageDown SelectToPageUp
ScrollPageLeft

15) Media Commands:

ChannelDown ChannelUp
DecreaseVolume FastForward
IncreaseVolume MuteVolume
NextTrack Pause
Play PreviousTrack
Record Rewind
Select Stop

16) Navigation Commands:

BrowseBack BrowseForward
BrowseHome BrowseStop

17) Editing Commands:

AlignCenter AlignJustify
AlignLeft AlignRight
CorrectSpellingError DecreaseFontSize

EnterParagraphBreak IgnoreSpellingError
IncreaseFontSize IncreaseIndentation
MoveDownByLine MoveDownByPage
MoveDownByParagraph MoveLeftByCharacter
MoveLeftByWord MoveRightByCharacter
MoveRightByWord
Chapter NO.25 Short Notes

1).WPF Window is a:
• win32 window

2). Any Number of child windows can be made by

• instantiating a window derived class and calling show

3). Child windows gets closed or minimized:

• on closing or minimizing of parent window

4). Window Events include:

• Activated
• Deactivated

5).Using Window.Show() a window appears and then disappears

6). StartupUri in xaml is

<Application x:Class = “PhotoGallery.App”
xmlns = http://schemas.microsoft.com.winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
xmlns: x = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml
StartupUri = “MainWindow.xaml”/>

7). main() is created dynamically

8). System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs is used to get command line arguments in

WPF

9). Application Level Events are:

• Startup
• Exit
• Activated
• Deactivated
• SessionEnding

10). Window.show() is used to instantiate (Read-only) window.

11). Properties Dictionary is a simple Dictionary used to share things among different
windows.

12). Application.Current() is used to take current window from any app.

13). Dispatcher.Run() is used to make multiple UI threads.

14). Single Instance App:

Bool mutexIsNew;
using (System.Threading.Mutex m = New System.Threading.Mutex(True, uniqueName, out
mutexIsNew))
{
if(mutexIsNew)
// This is the first instance. Run the application
else
// There is already an instance running
}
15). Dialogs are just child windows

16).There are two types of dialogs:

• Modal
• Modeless

17). Modeless Dialog are more like normal Windows.

18). Modal Dialog are such windows that are necessary to terminate explicitly in order to
interact with main window.
19). In modeless Window we can work in parallel with main window just like using Tools
window in Photoshop.

20).Common Dialogs are actually provided by win32 and are part of Modal dialog.
21). Custom Dialogs are user-defined.

22). ShowDialog() returns us Null-able Boolean with options True/False/Null.

23). Apllication Deploy include:

• ClickOnce
• Windows Installer

24). EULA stand for End User License.

25). Benefits of Windows Installer:

• showing custom setup UI like EULA
• Control over where files are installed
• Arbitrary code at install time
• Register COM components and File Association
• Install for All users
• Installation From CD

26). Benefits of ClickOnce:

• Built-in support for automatic updates and roll back to previous version
• A web-like go-away experience
• Start-menu or control panel program list
• All files in isolated area
• Clean Un-installation
Chapter NO.26 Short Notes

1) Wizard is a Dialog Box with multiple User-Interfaces.

2). Difference Between Page and Window:

Page in itself cannot Display. Window is an area containing page.

3). Child windows gets closed or minimized:

• on closing or minimizing of parent window

4). Navigation Based apps are:

• Windows Explorer
• Media Player
• Photo Gallery

5). Host Windows are:

• Navigation Window
• Frame

6). Navigation Containers Provide:

• Navigating
• History Journal
• Navigation Related events

7). Difference between Navigation Window and Frame:

Navigation window gives you a navigation Bar by default while Frame does not. Navigation
Window is more like a top-level window wherease Frame more like an HTML frame or
iFrame.

8). Page does everything that windows does except OnClosed and OnClosing.
9). Navigation can also happen between HTML files.

10). A page can interact with its Navigation Container by using NavigationService Class.

11). You can get an instance of NavigationService by calling the static

NavigationService.GetNavigationService method and passing an instance of the page.

12). this.NavigationService.Refresh() results in reload of current page.

13). Performing navigation in 3 main ways:

• calling navigation method
• Using Hyperlinks
• Using the Journal

14). Properties of page:

• WindowHeight
• WindowWidth
• WindowTitle

15). Example Of Navigate Method: PhotoPage

nextPage = new PhotoPage();
this.NavigationService.Navigate(nextPage);

16). Navigate to a page via Uri

this.NavigateService.Navigate(new Uri(“photoPage.xaml”, uriKind.Relative));

17). Example of navigation using Hyperlink.

<textblock>
Click
<Hyperlink NavigateUri = “photoPage.xaml”>
Here
</Hyperlink> to
view the photo
</textblock>
18). Journal provides logic behind back and frwd.
19). Two internal stacks are:
• Undo
• Redo

20).Navigation Window always has a journal but frame may depending on its
JournalOwnership = OwnsJournal, UseParenJournal, Automatic

21). When frame has journal it has back/frwd buttons but can set NavigationUiVisibility =
Hidden

22). Navigation Events that raise when loading first page:

See in handouts

23). Navigation Events that raise when navigating between pages.

See handouts

23). NavigationIsstopped is an event called instead of LoadCompleted if an error occurs or

navigation is cancelled.

24). Html to html event firing is not allowed.

25). PageFunction has special mechanism for returning data.

 Chapter NO.27 Short Notes

1). Browser based Applications are partial trust applications.

2). Partial Trust means with some restrictions.

3). Basic benefit of Silverlight is that it is cross-platform. But WPF browser based
applications just run on windows.

4). In Web Based applications the journal of Application and Web Browser are integrated.

5). GAC is a Global Assembly Cache

6). ClickOnce Applications are chached.

7). How to open file from local system:

String filecontents = null;
OpenFileDialog ofd = new openFileDialog(); if(ofd.ShowDialog()==true)
{
using(stream s = ofd.OpenFile())
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader())
{
filecontent = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
}
8). Data can be given to any web site using two method:
• URL Parameter
• Cookies

9). BrowserInteropHelper.Source to retrieve the complete URL.

10). Browse Cookies retrieved by Application.GetCookie method.

11). Two steps of making full-trusted Web Browser App.

• Change:
<targetzone>Internet</targetzone> to
<targetzone>Custom</targetzone>
• Add:
<permissionset class = “System.Security.Permissionset” version = “1” ID = “Custom” samesite =
“site” Unrestricted = “true”/>

12). To publish a web based application use VS publishing wizard or mage tool in SDK and
copy files to webserver which must be configured to serve it.

13). Users can install and run a web based application just by navigating to a URL.

14). Resources can be:

• Binary
• Logical

15). .Net has binary resources in WPF.

16). Binary resources can be:

• Embedded(part of exe)
• Stored at Known place

17). Localization:
Localization means that your application can target more than one target languages or target
Grammers.
18). In Order to localize resources its necessary to make them embedded resources.

Chapter NO.28 Short Notes

1) How to specify Default Culture of Application:

<project>
<propertygroup>
<uiculture>en-US</uiculture>
[assembly: NautralResourceLanguage(“en-US”, UltimateResourceFallBackLocation.Satellite]

2). Logical Resources are arbitrary .net objects stored and named in an element Resource
Properties.

3). By using logical resources we can save change in one place and have different effects.
Like you can change brushes in one place and have different effects .

4). Logical Resources can further be categorized in “Static Resources” and “Dynamic
Resources”.

5). In Dynamic Resources we actually subscribe to the updates of the resource.

6). In static resource we just want its value once.

7). Static Resource markup extension walks the logical tree or even application level or
system Resources.

8). Example of Static Resource:

<windows xmlns:http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation xmlns:
x = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml>
<window.Resources>
<Image x: key = “Zoom” Height = “21” Source = “Zoom.gif”/>
</window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<StaticResource ResourceKey = “zoom”/>
</StackPanel>
</window>

9). Static Resources do not support forward references.

10). Static Resources do not support Sharing.

11). Procedural Code/Static Resource: window.Resources.add(“BackgroundBrush”,

new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow));
Window.Resources.Add(“BorderBrush”, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red));
Button button = new Button();
StackPanel.Children.Add(button);
Button.Background = (Brush)button.FindResource(“BackgroundBrush”);
Button.BorderBrush = (Brush)button.FindResource(“BorderBrush);

12). Procedural Code/Dynamic Resource

Button button = new Button();
Button.SetResourceReference(Button.BackgroundProperty, “BackgroundBrush”);
Button.SetResourceReference(Button.BorderBrushProperty, “BorderBrush”);
Button button = new Button();
Button.Background = (Brush)window.Resources[“BackgroundBrush”]; Button.BorderBrush
= (Brush)window.Resources[“BorderBrush ”];
13). The key benefit of logical resources is that Use and definition becomes seprate.

14). System Resources are such resources which are shared by al application For Example:
System Color, System font, System Parameters.

Chapter NO.29 Short Notes

1). Data Binding allows to declaratively bind two different properties in xaml.

2). Binding Object has one source and target Object.

3). Binding binds two propertiews together and keeps a communication channel open.

4). Example code of binding:

public mainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
Binding binding = new Binding();
Binding.Source = TreeView;
Binding.Path = new PropertyPath(“SelectedItem.Header”);
CurrentFolder.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, binding);
}
5). Property.Pah can also use
• BindingOperation.SetBinding
• BindingOperation.ClearBinding
• BindingOperation.ClearAllBindings

6). The DisplayMemberPath property can be used to improve display:

<listbox x:Name= “pictureix” DiaplayMemberPath = “Name”
ItemSource = “{Binding source ={StaticSource photos}}”>
</listbox>

7). Synchronization means binding multiple targets with single source.

8). Example Code Of Synchronization:

<listbox IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem = “True” DisplayMemberPath = “Name”
ItemSource = “{Binding source={StaticSource photos}}”
</listbox>
<listbox IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem = “True” DisplayMemberPath = “DateTime”
ItemSource = “{Binding source={StaticSource photos}}”
</listbox>
<listbox IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem = “True” DisplayMemberPath = “Size”
ItemSource = “{Binding source={StaticSource photos}}”
</listbox>

9). Data Context is a method of defining Default Data Source.

10). example Code of Data Context:

<stackpanel DataContext = “{StaticSource photos}”>
<label x:Name =”numitemslabel” content
= “{Binding Path=Count}”/>
<listbox s:Name = “picturebox” DisplayMemberPath = “Name”
Itemsource = “{Binding}”>
</listbox>
</stackpanel>

11). Three Ways of Control Rendering are:

• String formatting
• Data Template
• Value Converter

12). String Formatting can be used even without Data Binding

13). With Data Template User Interface are auto-applied to arbitrary .net object when it is
rendered.

14). Example Code of Data Template:

<listbox x:Name = “picturebox”
ItemSource = “{Binding Source={StaticResource photos}}”>
<listbox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Source = “placeholder.jpg” Height = “35”/>
</DataTemplate>
</listbix.ItemTemplate>
</listbox>

15). With Data Template there is an implicit DataContext.

16). Value Converter is a custom Logic that morphs Source value into Target Type.

Chapter NO.30 Short Notes

1). View Supports:

• Sorting
• Grouping
• Filtering
• Navigation

2). Example of sorting on one field:

SortDescription sort = new SortDescription(“Name”, ListSortDirection.Ascending);

3). Example of sorting on two Different Fields:

View.SortDescription.Add(new SortDescription(“DateTime”, ListSortDirection.Descending);
View.SortDescription.Add(new SortDescription(“Name”, ListSortDescription.Ascending);

4). Method of Getting Default View:

IcollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.getDefaultSource(this.FindSource(“photos”));

5). Example of Grouping:

IcollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.getDeafultView(this.FindSource(“photos”));
View.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription(“DateTime”));
6). Example Of Filtering:
IcollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.getDefaultView(this.FindResource(“photos”));
View.Filter = delegate(object o){
Return((o As photo).DateTime-DateTime.Now).Days<=7;
};

7). Example of Navigation in View: void

previous_Click(Object sender, Routedevent e)
{
IcollectionView view =
CollectionViewSource.getDefaultView(this.FindResource(“photos”));
view.MoveCurrentToPrevious(); if(view.IsCurrentBeforeFirst)
view.MoveCurrentToLast();
}
void next_Click(Object sender, Routedevent e)
{
IcollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.getDefaultView(this.FindResource(“photos”));
view.MoveCurrentToNext(); if(view.IsCurrentAfterLast)
view.MoveCurrentToFirst();
}

8). Binding to the whole object:

“{Binding Path = /}”

9). Binding to the DateTime Property

“{Binding path=/DateTime}”

10). Binding on a current item of a different Data Source:

“{Binding Path=Photo/}”

11). Binding to the DateTime Property of different data source:

“{Binding Path=Photos/DateTime}”

12). Sorting is always applied before Grouping

13). Navigation means managing the current item in view.

14). If you have multiple target elements connected to the same Custom View then their
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem = “True” by default and it is “false” in Default View.

15). Data Providers are kind of classes which made it simple for us to access certain kind of
data.

16). There are two types of Data Providers:

• xaml Data Providers
• Object Data Providers

Chapter NO.31 Short Notes

1). Object Data Provider provides us some facility which are useful for binding to objects
which are not designed for binding.

2). Asynchronous Data Binding means that the property that you want to access should be
done in background.

3). xmlDataProvider and objectDataProvider have an IsAsynchronous property. Which is

false by default on ObjectDataProvider and true by default for xmlData Provider.

4). Example of Object Data Provider:

<window.Resources>
<local:Photos x:key = “photos”/>
<ObjectDataProvider x:key = “dataprovider”
ObjectInstance = “{StaticSource photos}”/>
</window.Resources>
5). Binding to a method is useful for classes that are not designed for Data Binding.

6). Convert Method is used when bringing data from Source to Target

7). Convert Back is used when bringing data from target to source.

8). Binding Modes:

• One-Way
• Two-Way
• OneWayToSource
• OneTime

9). Example of Method Data Binding:

<ObjectDataProvider.ConstructorParameter>
<Sys:Int32>23</sys:Int32>
</ObjectDataProvider.ConstructorParameters>
</ObjectDataProvider>
<ObjectDataProvider x:key=”DataProvider”
ObjectType=”{x:Type local:photos}”
MethodName = “getFolderName”/>

10). One-Way Binding means the target is updated whenever the source changes.

11). Two-Way Binding means change to either the target or source updates the other

12). OneWayToSource is the opposite of One-Way binding. the source is changed whenever
the target changes.

13). 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.

14). when Do you want the two way source to be updated:

• PropertChanged
• LostFocus
• Explicit

15). Validation Rules are just like simple classes that are used to ensure the proper working
of the application.

16). Binding has ValidationRules Property that can be set to one or more validation rules

17). ExceptionValidationRule says that you can update a source if updating a source does not
cast an exception

Chapter NO.32 Short Notes

1). Concurrency means doing two things at the same time.

2). Purposes of Concurrency are:

• Responsive User Interface
• Simultaneous Requests
• Parallel Programming

3). Time slicing means giving time to a thread then we slice and run another thread then
come back and so on.

4). Creating a Simple thread in C#:

Class ThreadTest
{
Static void main()
{
Thread t = new Thread(WriteY);
t.Start(); for(int i = 0; i<1000; i++)
Console.Write(“x”);
}
Static void WriteY()
{
for(int I = 0; i<1000; i++) Console.Write(“y”);
}
}
5). A Thread isAlive = true once starts and until end.

6). Thread.CurrentThread is currently executing thread.

7). When you call t.join() it means you want to wait for t to finish.

8). Sleep() means a thread wants to give away the CPU.

9). Local Variables are kept on stack.

10). Locks are a way to ensure that if you are in area of a code then no other thread will be
allowed to enter that area of thread. And are used when threads are sharing shared
data.

11). Example of Lock:

Class ThreadSafe
{
Static Bool _done;
Static ReadOnly Object _locker = new object();
Static void main()
{
new Thread(Go).Start();
Go();
}
Static void Go()
{
Lock(_locker)
{
if(!_done){Console.WriteLine(“Done”); _done = true;}
}
}
}
12). Example of passing Data to Threads:
Static void main()
{
Thread t = new Thread(()=> Print(“Hello From t!”)); t.Start();
}
Static void Print(String message)
{Console.WriteLine(message);}

13). Lambda ()=> is used to pass data to threads.

14). for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)

new Thread(()=>Console.Write(i)).Start(); will result in some typical output like 0223557799
just because of sharing a common variable and thread concurrency

15). above code can be rectified as follows:

for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
int temp = i;
new Thread(()=> Console.Write(temp)).Start();
}
Chapter NO.33 Short Notes

1). BeginInvoke and Invoke are such methods that can be called from any other thread.

2). BeginInvoke is a low-level primitive

3). SynchronizationContext is a higher level primitive.

4). Example of BeginInvokde:

Partial Class mywindow: Window
{
public mywindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
new Thread(work).start();
}
void work()
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
UpdateMessage(“The Answer”);
}
void UpdateMessage(String message)
{
Action action=()=>TextMessage.Text = message;
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(action);
}
}

5). SynchronizationContext can be used for generalized Thread Marshaling.

6). Thread.CurrentThread is currently executing thread.

7). Thread.CurrentThread.IsThreadPoolThread is used to check whether the current thread
is running in ThreadPool or independently.

8). There are two ways of calling thread from ThreadPool:

• ThreadPoool.QueueUserWorkItem(notUsed=> Console.WriteLine(“Hello”));
• Task.Run(()=>Console.WriteLine(“Hello From Task”));

9). ThreadPool saves the overhead of thread creation, management and termination.

10). ThreadPool creates or reduces real threads using hillclimbing algo to maximize CPU
usage and reduce time slicing.

11). Threads of ThreadPool are always Background threads which means they are not going
to be deleted they are just waiting for work items.

12). Three benefits of Tasks are:

• Easy return value from threads
• Exception Handling
• Continuation

13). Starting a task is like creating a thread except started right away(hot) means that there
is no need to explicitly start a task.

14). Example of Task.Wait()

Task task = Task.Run(()=>
{
Thread.Sleep(2000);
Console.WriteLine(“Foo”);
});
Console.WriteLine(task.IsCompleted); task.Wait();

15). Example of exception handling with tasks:

Task task = Task.Run(()=>{throw null;});
Try
{
Task.Wait();
}
catch(AggregateException aex)
{
if(aex.InnerException is NullReferenceException)
Console.WriteLine(“Null”);
else
throw;
}

16). Create a task which you can wait and attach continuations. Controlled by the following
operations:
public class TaskCompletionSource<TResult>
{
public void SetResult(TResult result); public
void SetException(Exception exception); public
void SetCanceled();
public bool TrysetResult(TResult result); public
bool TrySetException(Exception exception); public
bool TrySetCanceled();
}
17). What would be the result of following piece of code:
Var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>(); new
Thread(()=>{Thread.Sleep(5000);
tcs.SetResult(42); }).Start();
Task<int> task = tcs.Task;
Console.WriteLine(task.Result);

This code will print 42 after 5s.

18). How to use Delay method:

• Task.Delay(5000).GetAwaiter().OnCompleted(()=>Console.WriteLine(42));
• Task.Delay(5000).ContinueWith(ant=>Console.WriteLine(42));
Chapter NO.34 Short Notes

1). Asynchronous takes return quickly.

2). Asynchronous are non-blocking.

3). For I/O bound we can usually work without thread.

4). For CPU bound we can start and return task and are asynchronous tasks.

5). Example of CPU bound asyn Task:

Int GetPrimesCount(int start, int count)
{
ParallelEnumerable.Range(start,
count).count(n=>Enumerable.Range(2,(int)Math.Sqrt(n)1).All(i=>n%i>0));
}
void DisplayPrimeCounts()
{
for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)
Console.WriteLine(GetPrimesCount(i*1000000+2, 1000000)+” Primes between “+(i*100000)+”
and “+((i+1)*100000-1));
Console.WriteLine(“Done”);
}

6). Example of Corse Grained:

Task.Run(()=> DisplayPrimeCounts());
Task<int> GetPrimesCountAsyn(int start, int count)
{
Return Task.Run(()=> ParallelEnumerable.Range(start, count).Count(n=>Enumerable.Range(2,
(int)Math.Sqrt(n)-1).All(i=>n%i>0)));
}
for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
Var awaiter = GetPrimesCountAsync(i*1000000+2, 1000000).GetAwaiter();
Awaiter.OnCompleted(()=> Console.WriteLine(awaiter.GetResult()+” primes between….”));
}
Console.WriteLine(“Done”);

7). The above code is simple in C#5.0:

Asyn Task DisplayPrimeCounts()
{
for(int i = 0; i<10; i++)
Console.WriteLine(await GetPrimesCountAsyn(i*1000000+2, 1000000)+ “primes between
“+(i*1000000)+ “ and “+((i+1)*1000000-1));
Console.WriteLine(“Done”);
}

8). Syntax of await: var

result = await expression;
statement(s);

9). Asynchronous tasks means doing some work then returning some result then completing
the rest.

10). What is the message loop

while(!ThisApplication.Ended)
{
wait for something to appear in message queue Got
Something: What kind of message is it?
keyboard/mouse message->fire an event handler user
BeginInvoke/Invoke message-> execute delegate
}
Chapter NO.35 Short Notes

1). Write Downloading Code:

asyn void Go()
{
_button.IsEnabled = false;
String[] urls = www.albahri.com www.orielly.com www.linqpad.net.Split();
Int totallength = 0;
try{
foreach(String url in urls)
{
var uri = new Uri(“http://”+url);
Byte[] data = await new WebClient().DownloadDataTaskAsync(url);
_results.Text+ “Length of “+url+ “ is “+data.Length+Environmentr.newLine;
TotalLength+=data.Length;
}
_result.Text+=”Total length : “+TotalLength;
}
catch(WebException ex)
{
_result.Text+=”error: “+ex.Message;
}
finally{_button.IsEnabled = true;}
}
2). We can return a Task from void function without explicitly returning it.

3). If you have to write asynchronous function then follow three steps:
• Write its totally synchronous version
• Then use await and async
• Then use returnand return Task in place of void

4). Example of async chaining:

async Task Go()
{
var task = PrintAnswerToLife(); await
task;
Console.WriteLine(“Done”);
}
async Task<int> GetAnswerToLife()
{
var task = Task.Delay(5000);
await task; int answer =
21*2;
return answer;
}

5). Example of Parallelism:

var task1 = PrintAnswerToLife();
var task2 = PrintAnswerToLife();
await task1; await task2;
async Task<int> GetAnswerToLife()
{
_x++;
await Task.Delay(5000); return
21*2;
}
6). Tasks provide us the facility of handling cancellation and progress.

7).Example of Cancellation: class

CancellationToken
{
public bool IsCancellationRequested{get; private set;} public
void Cancel(){IsCancellationRequested = true;}
public void ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
{
If(IsCancellationRequired)
Throw new OperationCancelledException();
}
}

8). Example of cancellation using Task: var

CancelResource = new CancellationTokenSource();
Task.Delay(5000).ContinueWith(ant=>CancellationSource.Cancel());

9). Cancellation can even be used Task.Wait i.e. Synchronous methods but have to call
cancel from another task. Cancellation is useful for timeouts.

10). In Task-Based Async Pattern (TAP) we create a “Hot” task From Task or TaskResult.

11). Task Combinator:

Task<int> WinningTask – await Task.WhenAny
Console.WriteLine(“Done”);
Console.WriteLine(WinningTask.Result);
(Delay1(), Delay2(), Delay3());
int answer = await await Task.WhenAny(Delay1(), Delay2(), Delay3());

12). Async call Graph execution:

• brief sync execution on thread calling Go
• Every await and return
• when delay fires a thread
• remaining statements run
• eventually Go’s task is marked as completed.

13). Pseudo Concurrency means a program is running and awaiting for something then
resuming and then awaiting.

14). Task Combinator uses Task.WhenAny and Task.WhenAll.

Chapter NO.36 Short Notes

1). Example of WhenAll in Task Combinators: await

Task.WhenAll(Delay1(), Delay2(), Delay3()); Task task1 =
Delay1(), task2 = Delay2(), task3 = Delay3();
await task1(); await task2; await task3; Task
task1 = Task.Run(()=>{throw null;});
Task task2 = Task.Run(()=>{throw null;}); Task
all = Task.WhenAll(task1, task2);
try{await all;}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine(all.Exception.InnerExceptions.Count);
}

2). there are two types of parallelism:

• Data Parallelism
• Task Parallelism

3). Three steps of Parallelism:

• Partition Problem
• Process
• Combine the results

4). Data Parallelism is easier to perform and scales well, it is also structured.

5). Concurrent collections are useful when you want a thread-safe collection.

6). Tasks provide us the facility of handling cancellation and progress.

7). Three static method of the parallel class are:
• Parallel.Invoke
• Parallel.For
• Parallel.ForEach

8). Parallel.Invoke:
Executes an array of delegates in parallel.

9). Example of Parallel.Invoke: public static void

Invoke(params Action[] actions);
Parallel.Invoke(
()=>new WebClient().DownloadFile(“http://www.linqpad.net”, “lp.html”),
()=>new WebClient().DownloadFile( http://www.jaon.dk, “jaon.html”));

10).Example of Parallel.For:
for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
foo(i);
Parallel.For(0, 100, i=>foo(i));
Parallel.For(0, 100, foo);

11). Example of Parallel.ForEach(): Foreach(char

c in “Hello World)
foo(c);
Parallel.Foreach(“Hello, World”, foo);

12). ParallelLoopState is a thing which allows you to Break out of loops.

13). The ParallelLoopState class and its methids are:

public class ParallelLoopState
{
public void Break(); public void stop();
public bool IsExceptional{get;} public
bool IsStopped{get;} public long
LowestBreakIteration{get;}
public bool ShouldExitCurrentIteration{get;}
}

14). Concurrent Collections are three times slower than normal collections in writing but not
the case with reading.
15). Concurrent Collections include :
• Concurrent Stack
• Concurrent Queue
• Concurrent Bag
• Concurrent Dictionary

16). A Producer Consumer Queue:

1). HTML is a Hyper Text Markup Language

2). Java Script is built-in all platforms and is supported by all web-browsers.

3). Web pages have three kinds of layers:

• HTML: Gives content/structure
• CSS: Presentation Layer
• Java script: Behavioral Layer

• 4). JS was introduced in 1995, originally named with LiveScript but got populated
with most hot name “Java”, MS introduced jScript... their version of JS for IE,

5). JQuery:
• JS is a prog language... can be hard for some... also browser incompatibilities make
testing difficult
• jQuery is a JS library intended to make JS programming easier
• jQuery soles JS complexity and browser incompatibilities
• can do things in single LOC that would take hundreds
• many advanced features come as jQuery plugins
• used on millions of websites

6). In HTML:
• at least three tags ... html root tag, head tag containing title etc, and body tag
containing all parts to be rendered in browser window
• <p></p> is paragraph <strong></strong> is emphasis <a href=“http:...”></a> is a
hyperlink... XML attribute and value
• validating html means checking if all tags appropriately closed etc.

7). HTML Example:

8). CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, it is a formatting language

9). CSS says that take “this” and make “this” look like “that

10).JQuery says that take “this” and act like “that”

11). CSS can do more powerful stuff, like add border, change margins, and even control
exact placement on web page

12). JS can add/remove/change CSS properties based on input or mouse clicks... even
animate from one property to another... like yellow to red... or animate across screen
by changing position

13). Example of CSS Style:

Explanation:
14). Concurrent Collections are three times slower than normal collections in writing but not
the case with reading.

15). JS is an interpreted language means each line of code is compiled at run time.

16). Tell Web Browser about JS by using <script> </script> tag

17). Using Script in HTML $.01:

18). Using Script in HTML 5:

19). Writing Hello World in HTML:

20). Basics of JS:

• lot of basic syntax like C++, C#

• create a variable using “var x”, names begin with letter, $, or _
• var days = ['Mon', 'Tues', 'Wed', 'Thurs', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun'];
• alert(days[0]); // Accessing element of array
• var playList = []; // Declaring empty array
• var prefs = [1, 223, 'www.oreilly.com', false]; //Array having different data types//
• prefs.push('test'); prefs.push('test',’test2’); ... arrays grow
• prefs.unshift('test'); prefs.unshift('test',’test2’); ... insert at start
• shift() gets/removes the first element... queue using push/shift
• pop() removes last... stack

21). Declaring Function in JS:

• There is no specified return type

• Function Declaration… no type 22). JQuery:
• many JS programs select elements, add new content, hide and show content, modify
tag’s attributes, determine value of form fields, and react to user actions
• the details complicated specially with browser interoperability
• libraries offer a set of functions to make these tasks easy

23). Benefits of JQuery:

• only 30k compressed library size
• easy to learn
• used on millions of sites
• free • dev community
• plugins... !!!
Chapter NO.38 Short Notes

1). DOM stands for Document Object Model

2). Selection By element ID:

document.GetElementById(‘banner’);

3). Selection By element name: document.GetElementByName(‘a’);

4). Basic Selectors are:

• By Class Name
• By ID Name
• By Tag Name

5). Example of Select by ID:

$(#banner) is the tag with id banner

6). Advanced Selectors are as follows:

7). Descendent Selectors:

$(‘#navbar a’): select all the elements whose id is navbar then descendent a.

8). Child Selector:

$(‘body>p’): Select p tags which are within body tag

9). Adjacent Sibling:

$(‘h2+div’): Select tag “div” that comes immediately after “h2” tag.

10). Attribute Selectors :

• $(‘img[alt]’): we need those images in which attribute of “alt” exists
• $(‘input[type = “text”]’): we need all input fields of type text
• $(‘a[href^=”mailto:”]’): we need tags whose link “href” starts with
“mailto”
• $(‘a[href $= “.pdf”]’): we need all that tags whose links are of “.pdf”
type
• $(‘a[href *= “missingmanual.com”]’): we need tags with “href” having
string “missingmanual.com”

11). JQuery Filters:

• :even :odd
• $('.striped tr:even'): we need those rows on which class.stripped is applied • :first
:last :not
• $('a:not(.navButton)'): We need all the links that do not have .navButton class on
them
• :has
• $('li:has(a)') --- diff from descendent : we need all these list items in which tag(a)
exists
• :contains
• $('a:contains(Click Me!)') : we need that list in which the text “Click Me!” exists. •
:hidden :visible
• $('div:hidden').show(): find all div tags that are hidden and call .show() and they
will show

12). JQuery Provides automatic looping

13). Automatic Looping:

• $('#slideshow img').hide(): Slideshow id containing all img tag choose them and
hide them

14). Chaining Functions:

• $('#popUp').width(300).height(300): pop ID tag selected set width 300 and height
300
• $('#popUp').width(300).height(300).text('Hi!').fadeIn(1000);

28). Web mouse Events are : click,
dblclick, mousedown,

29). Doc/Window Events: load,

resize, scroll, unload

30). Form Events:

submit, reset, change, focus, blur

31). Keyboard Events:

• keypress (over n over), keydown, keyup

32). Steps in setting Events:

• step 1: select elements
• step 2: assign an event
• step 3: pass function to event
• $('#menu').mouseover(function() {
$('#submenu').show();
}); // end mouseover

33). Examples of Events:

34).JQuery Events:
• hover
• toggle is like hover except worked on and off by clicks
• event object is passed to all functions handling events

• $('element').fadeOut('slow');
• fast normal slow or number of ms
• default 200 400 600
• fadeIn, fadeOut, fadeToggle
• slideDown, slideUp, slideToggle

10). Example of Login Slider:

11). Forms:
<input name=”quantity” type=”text” id=”quantity”> <input
name=”total” type=”text” id=”total”>
var unitcost = 9.95; var amount
=\$(‘\#quantity’).val(); var total =
amount*unitcost; total =
total.ToFixed(2);
\$(‘\#total’).val(total);

12). JQuery Form selectors:

Chapter NO.40 Short Notes

1). Ajax is a term which allows us to talk to server remaining within JS.

2). What Ajax can do:

• Display new HTML content without reloading the page
• Submit form and instantly display the result
• Login without leaving the page
• Ajax make pages feel more responsive and Desktop like

3). JS, server-side programming, and web browser, all work together

4). Role of Java Script in Ajax:

• Send Request
• Wait for response
• Process Response
• Update Web Page

5). Role of Web Server:

Receive Request
Respond as HTML, plain text, JASON

6).XMLHttpRequest is also known as XHR in short

7). Steps (Talking to Web Server)

• create XMLHttpRequest (also called XHR in short) var newXHR = new
XMLHttpRequest();
• call open to specify what kind of data and where it will go can GET or POST
newXHR.open('GET', 'shop.php?productID=34');
• write a callback function it will remove, add, change elements send data
newXHR.send(null); GET
newXHR.send('q=javascript'); POST
• receive response
callback invoked and XHR receives status, text response, and possibly an XML response

8). The basic concept of POST is that if you want to post a lot of data then instead of sending
it via URL you can insert this into the request body.

9). The Web Server Request can respond in the following states:
• status = 200/304 all ok, 404 file not found, 500 internal server error, 403 access
forbidden

8). The JQuery simplifies all steps except that of changing the webpage

9). Example of loading news in a div from web-server using jQuery:

• $('#headlines').load('todays_news.html');

10). Get() and Post() in jQuery:

• need server side to do anything else
• server may not return html e.g. database records as xml or json
• jQuery handles differences of GET and POST
• $.get(url, data, callback);
• $.post(url, data, callback);

11). Examples of using Get() and Post():

• GET has limit... often thousands of chars
• $.get('rateMovie.php','rating=5');
• $.post('rateMovie.php','rating=5');
• $.post('rateMovie.php','rating=5&user=Bob');
• 'favFood=Mac & Cheese' // incorrect
• 'favFood=Mac%20%26%20Cheese' // properly escaped
• var queryString = 'favFood=' + encodeURIComponent('Mac & Cheese');
• $.post('foodChoice.php', queryString);
12). The better way to use Get() and Post() is object literal i.e.
var data = $.post('rankMovie.php',
{
rating: 5,
user: 'Bob' }
); // end post

13). Serialize is used for form submission in JS by so that the page may not reload.

14). Example of using serialize method:

• var formData = $('#login').serialize();
• $.get('login.php',formData,loginResults);

15). third parameter in get() and post() is call back. We write a function that will process
data returned by server.

16). Example of Processing Returned Data:

17). php is a server side programming language.

18). Error Handlers:

• $.get(url, data, successFunction).error(errorFunction);
• $.get('rate.php', querystring, processResponse).error(errorResponse);
• function errorResponse() {
• var errorMsg = "Your vote could not be processed right now.";
• errorMsg += "Please try again later.";
• $('#message').html(errorMsg);
• }
19). JASON:
• JS format... method for exchanging data
• JSON is JS so its quick n easy for JS
• no XML like parsing
• JSON is a JS obj literal
• {
• firstName: 'Frank',
• lastName: 'Smith',
• phone: '503-555-1212'
• }
• OR
• {
• 'firstName': 'Frank',
• 'lastName': 'Smith',
• 'phone': '503-555-1212'
• } (MUST use if names have spaces etc.)
• server returns a string formatted like a JSON obj literal
• jQuery getJSON method
• like get but data passed to callback will be a JSON object
• e.g. var bday = {
• person: 'Raoul',
• date: '10/27/1980'
• };
• bday.person // 'Raoul'
• bday.date // '10/27/1980'

1). C Objective is a simple extension of C and made using pre processors in early 1980’s.

2). To create an object send an alloc message.

NsMutableArray *arrayinstance = [NsMutableArray alloc];
[arrayinstance init] // Initialize it

3). In C objective [] are used for calling class objects or methods.

4). destroy using [arrayInstance release];

5). Or using nil otherwise issue of dangling pointers will arise.

6). Dangling pointer means you have assigned some memory and released but some
pointer is still pointing to that place.

7). NSString:
• [items addObject:@"One"];
• @ is shortcut for creating NSString
• NSString *myString = @"Hello, World!";
• int len = [myString length];
• len = [@"Hello, World!" length];
• myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"Hello, World!"]; • len = [myString
length];
8). NsLog:
• format string
• int a = 1;
• float b = 2.5;
• char c = 'A';
• NSLog(@"Integer: %d Float: %f Char: %c", a, b, c);
• Integer: 1 Float: 2.5 Char: A

9). NsSArray and NsMutableArray:

• also NSDictionary and NSSet
• holds references
• cannot hold primitives and C structures
• can call [array count]
• int numberOfObjects = [array count];
• [array insertObject:object
• atIndex:numberOfObjects];
• cant add beyond end... exception
• [array addObject:[NSNull null]]; // otherwise cannot hold nil
• NSString *object = [array objectAtIndex:0];

8). Sub classing:

• Root class of entire hierarchy
• objective-C keywords start with @ symbol

9). “-“ is used to mention compiler that we are going to write an instance method.

10). Instance Method and Overriding:

11). Examples of using Get() and Post():
• GET has limit... often thousands of chars
• $.get('rateMovie.php','rating=5');
• $.post('rateMovie.php','rating=5');
• $.post('rateMovie.php','rating=5&user=Bob');

• 'favFood=Mac%20%26%20Cheese' // properly escaped
• var queryString = 'favFood=' + encodeURIComponent('Mac & Cheese');
• $.post('foodChoice.php', queryString);

12). “Self” is equivalent to “this” in C++.

13). Initializers:
• start with “init” naming convention
• id = any object
• every object has “isa” pointer to class and thats how methods are called... like vtable
• self and super
• other initializers

14). Example of using serialize method:

• var formData = $('#login').serialize();
• $.get('login.php',formData,loginResults);

1). Auto Release: Means saying an object that i no longer want to hold the reference of
this object but don’t delete the object immediately. The resulting object will be added to
the autorelease pool.

2). Description Function creates a string returns it so that it can be printed by NsLog.

3). Messages to an object are:

• Retain
• Release
• AutoRelease

4). Retain Cycle: An object is retaining the other object and the other object is retaining
this object.
