What is .NET Core?

ASP.NET Core is a free and open-source web framework, and the next generation of ASP.NET, developed by Microsoft and the community. It is a modular framework that runs on both the full .NET Framework, on Windows, and the cross-platform .NET Core.

The framework is a complete rewrite that unites the previously separate ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API into a single programming model.

Despite being a new framework, built on a new web stack, it does have a high degree of concept compatibility with ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET Core applications supports side by side versioning in which different applications, running on the same machine, can target different versions of ASP.NET Core. This is not possible with previous versions of ASP.NET.

Features

• No-compile developer experience (i.e. compilation is continuous, so that the developer does not have to invoke the compilation command)
• Modular framework distributed as NuGet packages
• Cloud-optimized runtime (optimized for the internet)
• Host-agnostic via Open Web Interface for .NET (OWIN) support - runs in IIS or standalone
• A unified story for building web UI and web APIs (i.e. both the same)
• A cloud-ready environment-based configuration system
• A light-weight and modular HTTP request pipeline
• Build and run cross-platform ASP.NET Core apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Open-source and community-focused
• Side-by-side app versioning when targeting .NET Core.

Epic v Stories vs Bugs

We have stories, epic and bug while creating an issue in JIRA system.

Here is difference between Epic v Stories vs Bugs

Epic:
An Epic can be defined as a big chunk of work that has one common objective. It could be a feature, customer request or business requirement. In backlog, it is a placeholder for a required feature with few lines of description. It tells compactly about final output of user needs. In the beginning, it may not contain all the details that team needs to work on. These details are defined in User Stories. An epic usually takes more than one sprint to complete.

User Stories
Epics are large user stories, typically ones which are too big to implement in a single iteration and therefore they need to be disaggregated into smaller user stories at some point. A user story is a very high-level definition of a requirement, containing just enough information so that the developers can produce a reasonable estimate of the effort to implement it

Bugs:
A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways based on the backlog or features in software cycle.
While communicating a bug, we need to make sure that a potential problem exists in the code that your team is developing. When you define a bug, you want to accurately report the problem in a way that helps the reader to understand the full impact of the problem. You should also describe the actions that you took to find the bug so that other members of the team can more easily reproduce the behavior. The test results should clearly show the problem. Clear, understandable descriptions affect the probability that the bug will be fixed.

Hope this helps!

Different versions of Windows 10

There will be seven different versions, Microsoft says in a blog post .

Here they are:

• Windows 10 Home, which is the most basic PC version.
• Windows 10 Pro , which has touch features and is meant to work on two-in-one devices like laptop/tablet combinations, as well as some additional features to control how software updates get installed - important in the workplace.
• Windows 10 Enterprise, which will have extra management features.
• Windows 10 Mobile  for smartphones.
• Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise , which is like the one above, but with more business management features.
• Windows 10 Education, which is optimized for schools.
• Windows 10 IoT Core, which is for robots, smart sensors, and - well, if you need it, you'll know it.

javascript - .includes() not working in Internet Explorer

includes is not supported in Internet Explorer (or Opera)

Instead you can use indexOf. #indexOf returns the index of the first character of the substring if it is in the string, otherwise it returns –1

or you can use below function to in your javascript and you can still use include to work in IE10 / IE11

//IE 10/IE11 fix for includes function
String.prototype.includes = function () {
    'use strict';
    return String.prototype.indexOf.apply(this, arguments) !== -1;
};

Hope this helps!

Add or Remove a Column to a WebDataGrid

I have been using Infragistics for long, I have gone through this scenario many times. Hope this helps few people.  The following code shows you how to add bound data field and a template data field.

private void AddReferenceFieldColumnstoWebGrid()
        {
            DataTable dtConfigureReffields = crBl.GetConfigureReferenceFields(intCompanyId, intAccountId);

            // NS: Commenting
            // Adding colums dynamically.
            // if we matched these column kyes with grid result
            // binding will take care automatically
            string strReferenceFieldName;
            int intOffset = 11;  // position where to start after ref field. 
             //this is the place where we add these columns. for me i will get dynamic columns
             // from the datatable.
            for (int j = 0; j < dtConfigureReffields.Rows.Count; j++)
            {
                strReferenceFieldName = "";
                BoundDataField boundField1 = new BoundDataField(true);
                strReferenceFieldName = "reference" + (j + 2);
                boundField1.Key = strReferenceFieldName;
                boundField1.Header.Text = dtConfigureReffields.Rows[j]["name"].ToString();
                boundField1.DataFieldName = strReferenceFieldName;

                // ADD COLUMNS
                this.referenceFieldApprovalQueueUltraWebGrid.Columns.Insert(intOffset, boundField1);
                intOffset++;
            }
        } 
    

To remove column for the grid, add this below code after databind of webdatagrid.

// REMOVE COLUMNS
this.WebDataGrid1.Columns.Remove(this.WebDataGrid1.Columns["Ref1"]);
