    ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
    ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
    └── glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff


BootStrap Online File Links

 For Making your website Responsive using Bootstrap Technology You require some css , js coded files you can then use classes defined in these files to make your website responsive  you can either download these files from links below or you can directly provide these links in <head > </head> Tag of your Html or jsp or aspx file .

 For using Offline files :-

 Go to links below one by one and this will open css code save the files with their respective names and then reference them in your page <head></head> Tag
For using Online Files :- 

Just include the following code lines in your page's <head></head> Tag
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" ref="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

A Simple Sample of Bootstrap Html Page  Below :-


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>

    <!-- Bootstrap -->
    <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

    <!-- HTML5 Shim and Respond.js IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
    <!-- WARNING: Respond.js doesn't work if you view the page via file:// -->
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
      <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
      <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>

    <!-- jQuery (necessary for Bootstrap's JavaScript plugins) -->
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <!-- Include all compiled plugins (below), or include individual files as needed -->
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>



Grid System In Bootstrap

Grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns that house your content. Bootstrap's Grid system has done a lot of ease for developers Instead of doing calculations for div's like they do before bootstrap technology they can easily divide the page into columns and rows and design the page according to it .


 Here's how the Bootstrap grid system works:

Rows must be placed within a .container (fixed-width) or .container-fluid (full-width) for proper alignment and padding. A container will contain all your divs


Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.


Predefined grid classes like .row and .col-xs-4 are available for quickly making grid layouts. Less mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.


Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That padding is offset in rows for the first and last column via negative margin on .rows.
The negative margin is why the examples below are outdented. It's so that content within grid columns is lined up with non-grid content.


Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three .col-xs-4.


If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.


Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the breakpoint sizes, and override grid classes targeted at smaller devices. Therefore, applying any .col-md- class to an element will not only affect its styling on medium devices but also on large devices if a .col-lg- class is not present.

Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime

12:04 Posted by Unknown No Comments

Error :- Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information

Error Explanation -
During using Sqlite Database with Csharp Applications you may suffer from this error Don't fear from it this is simple error

This problem is seen often . The main reasonof this problems is that, because of the support for side-by-side runtimes in .Net Technology , .NET framework 4.0 has changed its way of binding to older framework mixed-mode assemblies. These assemblies are those that are compiled from old C++\CLI. Currently available DirectX assemblies are mixed mode. If you see a message like this then you know you have run into the issue:

Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v1.1.4322' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

SOLUTION :
Add the Following code in App.config file . App.config file will be available in Solution Explorer . If App.config is not available then you can add it by :-

Right click on Project's folder in Solution Explorer
Click on Add then click on New
Now scroll and find Application Configuration file and Click ok
Now App.config will be successfully added .
Now make the code of your App.config file similar to the following code or the replace the <startup> tag with tag given below

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
<requiredRuntime version="v4.0.20506" />
</startup>
Now All errors Will be gone and continue your code with SQlite Csharp using link below :-

How to use XML Parsing And TableLayout in Mono Android

11:23 Posted by Unknown No Comments

In order to start with XML Parsing or XML data Handling in Microsoft .NET Framework first we need to know about what classes or namespaces are available to us for using or dealing with XML Document or XML Data in .Net So Here is list of XML Namespaces available for XML Processing and Handling :-

System.Xml;
System.Schema;
System.Xml.Serialization;
System.Xml.XPath;
System.Xml.Xsl;

Link for - Using Xml in dotnet Csharp system.xml

Here , Out of these classes System.Xml class is major class that is responsible or must for XML Data Processing and this is the namespace that we are going to use in our tutorial today . The System.Xml namespace contains number of classes that are used for reading and writting Xml data from XML Documents . System.Xml contains :-

XmlReader for Reading Xml Documents we are not going to use it in our tutorial today
XmlWritter For Writting Xml Documents we are not going to use it in our tutorial today

There is another important class that we will use in our XML Parsing today . This is XmlNode It plays important role for getting xml data node by node This class represents every single node of the XML Document

OUTPUT SCREEN WITH RESULT

I have used API 8 for building this app you Download the Application complete code from here :-
Download Xml Parser Android with TableLayout -- geeksprogrammings

Main.Xaml CODE MONO ANDROID

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/main_table"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="0.0dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>

using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Graphics;
using System.Xml;

XAML CODE EXPLANATION MONO ANDROID

step 1
In first line i have declared the xml version and encoding type this denotes that this is an xml file code . In android xml code is used for creating design or layout of mono Android Apps

step 2
Now We have added a Linear Layout this is a default layout for Mono Android Application all controls or other layouts that we will use in our Mono Android Application will reside under this LinearLayout Tag
It contains Starting and Ending Tag .

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">

</LinearLayout>

step 3
Now Under LinearLayout we have included a Table layout We have included Table layout because we in this tutorial of xml parsing is going to parse xml and then view the retrieved xml data in table view . We have used following code for styling or placing table layout

<TableLayout
android:id="@+id/main_table"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="0.0dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />

CsharpCode Explanation For XML Parsing MONO ANDROID

step1

we start with main login of xml parsing that we are covering in our this tutorial here we have first include System.Xml namespace at top of our code document then we have used a XmlDocument class by making an instance of that class then we have passed the static Xml data to instance of XmlDocument by using LoadXml class that receives the xml data . you can see code below :-

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<Product> <ID>1</ID> <SeqNo>1</SeqNo> <Stage>Stage</Stage> <Observation>Observation</Observation><CHK></CHK> </Product>");

Step 2

After passing the xml data now we are going to filter the xml data with respect to nodes of xml In our xml data Product is Parent node and it contains other child node like ID,SeqNo ..........
As we have loaded the xml data in doc we have used doc.Documentelement.SelectSingleNode that will select the single node of 'ID' that is child of Parent node 'Product'
You can see the code below :-

XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/Product/ID");
XmlNode node1 = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/Product/SeqNo");
XmlNode node2 = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/Product/Stage");
XmlNode node3 = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/Product/Observation");
XmlNode node4 = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/Product/CHK");

step 3

With these lines of code below we are select the table layout that we have added in our xml code in layout file . You can see the code below :-

TableLayout ll = FindViewById<TableLayout>(Resource.Id.main_table);

Step 4

This is main logic of code where we are reading xml data and then adding dynamic rows to table layout

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) // starting loop form 0 -9 to display 10 rows in table dynamically
{
//creating a new tablerow
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);

//Setting tablerow hight , width parameters
TableRow.LayoutParams lp = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.FillParent);

assigning the layoutparameters to row
row.LayoutParameters = lp;

//setting row to alignment to center horizontal
row.SetGravity(GravityFlags.CenterHorizontal);

//Adding some required TextView
TextView checkBox = new TextView(this);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
TextView addBtn = new TextView(this);
TextView rcf = new TextView(this);
CheckBox verified = new CheckBox(this);
TextView ver = new TextView(this);
TextView qty = new TextView(this);

if (i == 1) // this is for second row of table to display column names not values
{
checkBox.Text = node.Name.ToUpper().ToString();
checkBox.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
checkBox.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
checkBox.SetPadding(7,9,7,9);

qty.Text = node1.Name.ToUpper().ToString();
qty.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
qty.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
qty.SetPadding(7, 9, 9, 9);

tv.Text = node2.Name.ToUpper() .ToString();
tv.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
tv.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
tv.SetPadding(7, 9, 9, 9);

addBtn.Text = node3.Name.ToUpper().ToString();
addBtn.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
addBtn.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
addBtn.SetPadding(9, 9, 9, 9);

ver.Text = node4.Name.ToUpper().ToString();
ver.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
ver.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
ver.SetPadding(9, 9, 9, 9);

}
else if (i == 0) //this is for first row to display Heading
{
checkBox.Text = "Inspection";
checkBox.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
checkBox.SetTextColor(Color.Black);
checkBox.SetPadding(9, 9, 9, 9);

qty.Text = "Details";

ver.Text = "";
ver.SetBackgroundColor(Color.AliceBlue);
ver.SetTextColor(Color.Black);

}
//else is used for all other rows to be added dynamically except 0,1 row
else
{
checkBox.Text = (i-1).ToString();

checkBox.SetTextColor(Color.White);
checkBox.SetPadding(7,9,9,9);

qty.Text = (i - 1).ToString();

Install MonoAndroid Tools in Visual Studio 2012

12:57 Posted by Unknown 2 Comments

Mono came as a Revolution in the IT Market for CSharp Application Development . Csharp was introduced by Microsoft and it was mainly used in Visual Studio IDE by Microsoft . As Csharp all came with .Net Framework and .Net Framework . So nothing works Cross-Platform neither in linux nor in OSx . So Then Came the Another remarkable solution to this problem That called "MONO" . Mono introduced with several thing that can be used with .net framework .

One of these was Mono Android Tools . These Tools allows the Csharp Developers to develop Android Applications using Csharp Code . They can choose Any IDE Either it could be Microsoft Visual Studio or Monodevelop . This has Increased the popularity of .NET Technology in the Market and It asked the Developers to think more n more about .NET Technology As With Mono .Net Technology Can Be used in Any Platform Availailble It can be used in Microsoft Windows , Linux operating Systems like -Ubuntu and also it can be used in OSx . And it can also be used in Mobile Applications Development like for Developing Android Applications , Windows Phone Applications and IOS Applications .

Now We are going to install Mono Android in Visual Studio 2012 ( comment for any help below)

System Requirements

Operating Systems
Windows XP (32-bit), Vista (32- or 64-bit), or Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit)

Development tools
JDK 6 (JRE alone is not sufficient)

Steps For Mono Android Installation

1. First Install Java Jdk ( Java development Kit )
2. Then Install Java Sdk ( software development Kit )
3. Install Microsoft Visual Studio ( If Visual Studio is previously installed then skip this step )
4. Install Mono Android Setup file To integrate it in Visual Studio
5. Place , Configure SDK and Create AVD ( emulator ) .
6. Configuring Visual Studio For Android Use

Step 1 -- Install Java Jdk

Java Development Kit contains set of tools that allows to run the java Development tools on the particular platform with jdk we cannot do java development and Android development on that particular machine .
In Order To install android Java jdk Go to link below and you can find different versions of java jdk availaible there I am installing jdk-6u31 from link below

Download Android Jdk -- geeksprogrammings

Step 2 -- Install Java Sdk

For Installation of Java SDK we must ensure that java Jdk is installed properly else Android SDK Will not install .

Java SDK provide the Set of tools that allows the software development using java To Download Java SDK you can follow the link on oracle website :-

Download Android SDK --geeksprogrammings
Go to link accept the license and Click on Download

After Download Android Sdk Zip file Now Extract that file and place the extracted folder in somewhere like :- c:\android-sdk

Step 3 -- Intall Microsoft Visual Studio ( skip this step if you have already installed visual studio )

Download Visual Studio 2012 -- geeksprogrammings

After Downloading Visual studio you can a similar intallation procedure here :-

How To install Visual Studio

Step 4 :- Now We are going to install Mono Tools for Mono Android to integrate with Visual Studio

Download the following file to mono android integration in visual studio 2012

Download mono-android-4.4.54.208556545

After Downloading it Install the msi file .After its Installation now you mono android is intall and your Visual Studio is ready for creating Mono Android or Android Applications

Step 5 :- Place , Configure SDK and Create AVD ( emulator ) .

Now Everything is installed now the game of configuration starts . First We remember that we have placed the android-sdk folder in C:\android-sdk
