vmware

Here is a compete step-by-step notes that i recorded while walking through the installation process :

Before you can start, download the latest Solaris 10 x64 ISO file from sun.com and install Vmware server from vmware.com :

1. File –> New –> Virtual Machine
2. Click Next on the first scren.
3. Click Next (i.e. Keep Typica configuration)
4. Choose “4. Sun Soaris” for Guest Operating System.
5. (Optional and only if you have a 64 bit capable machine) choose “Solaris 10 64-bit” for Version.
6. Click Next
7. (Optional) Change Location of the virtual machine by click Browse
8. Click Next
9. Choose “Use network address translation (NAT)” and click Next.
10. (Optional) If want to save a little bit of unused space at the expense of slightly slower disk acces speed, uncheck “Allocate all disk space now”
11. Double click on CD-ROM from Devices panel
12. Choose “Use ISO image”
13. Click Browse to choose the DVD ISO file you downloaded earlier.
14. (Optional) Adjust the amount of RAM and number of CPUs you want to allocate to this image.
15. Click “Power on this virtua machine”
16. Enter on BRUB menu for default “Solaris”
17. Enter 1 for “Solaris Interactive (default)”
18. Enter 0 for English. Choose a different language if you wish.
19. Click Next
20. Choose Networked and click Next
21. Choose DHCP if non of the applications you use doesn’t require static IP. Click Next.
22. Click Next (i.e. not enabe IPv6)
23. Click Next (i.e. not enable Kerberos)

30. Click Next
31. (Optional) Choose No for “Reboot automatically after software instalation” Since the CD-ROM was “entered” by software configuration and “eject” is better done via VMWare’s configuration. In case you were not watching when the install completed, it is probably better to let it wait for you to manualy reboot and umount CDRom via VMWare’s configuration window. Click Next and click OK on the pop-up window.
32. Click Next to accept the default Media, which is CD/DVD
33. Check Accept and click Next

46. Add the remaining disk space to / and click OK
47. Click Next to continue
48. Review the configuration. If everything looks correct, click Install Now. Now you may want to take a break or do something else and check back once in a whie to check on the installation progress.

You Will Be Missed Steve

steve jobs apple

I still remember my own first ipod. It changed my life. I was never one for much music. However, the number of lectures, podcasts, speeches I began to listen to thanks to the ipod, multiplied several times over. I was benefitting so much from it, that eventually each and everyone of my family members ,friends began to own one (sometimes two or more). That has been the story with each and every Apple product that I have owned.With the ipad I have been reading more than before.They have helped me become more me.

The ” i ” before each Apple product is not misplaced. It does indeed help each reach into or express one’s truly self.

What a briliant individual to design tools that work seemlessly well across ages, generations and cultures. Wait a go Steve. Will miss you dearly.

Connection String For Oracle Database using C# ,Connection String For Oracle Database, using C# ,Connection String ,Oracle Database,C# ,Oracle Database,progamming

Sometimes we learn a lot of things after a hard struggle then after a period of time we forget the process or something which is a key and after that we spent time to get the solution again. A documentation of each activity might help to make your portfolio that’s why I am writing a blog because it’s a better idea “what you learn write ones”  So, Today I am going to explain you Connection String C# to Oracle Database.  Occasionally we have seen C# to Sql Server in many other blogs and Microsoft web sites. C# to Oracle connection string is Similar to C# to SQL Server Connection String with one additional step Here we go :

Step# 1
Open Visual Studio 2010 [ I am assumed that you are using VS2010 ] , Click on File->New->Website Then select from the left pane Visual C# and then select ASP.net Web Site. Note: .Net Framework 4 should be selected.

Step#2

Right click on the project for ” add new Item” click ok

Step#3
Open “Default.aspx.cs” file or whatever your file name with the extension “aspx.cs”  from the solution Explorer [ Ctrl + Alt + L ]

Step# 4
Again Right click on the project and “Add ASP.Net Folder“ then select “Bin“.  Download the file ” System.Data.OracleClient.dll ”  from:  http://www.dllme.com/dll/files/system_data_oracleclient_dll.html and then place in the Bin folder which you have created then refresh the project folder from the VS2010

Step# 5

Now add this in to header of Default.aspx.cs file
using System.Data.OracleClient; using System.Data; using System.Configuration;

Step# 6
Open web.config and add this under connectionStrings tag <add name=”TestConn” connectionString=”Data Source=TestSource; User;password=Test;Persist Security Info=False” providerName=”System.Data.OracleClient”/> Save file with your credentials and close

Step# 7

Now back to the default.aspx.cs
public void muFunc()
{
string arr;
string connStr = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[“TestConn”].ConnectionString;

try
{
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connStr);
string query = “SELECT * FROM Orders”;
conn.Open();

}
catch (Exception Er)
{

}
finally
{
Conn.Close();
}
}
Hope this helps to you.
