What is Bugzilla?
Bugzilla is Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Bugzilla is a open-source bug-tracking software.
Bugzilla offers superior performance on commodity hardware, better price (free!), more developer- friendly features (such as stored queries, email integration, and platform independence), improved scalability, open source code, greater flexibility, and superior ease-of-use.
Remoting
Remoting provides a framework that allows objects to interact one another accross application domains
It is the concept of working in different application domains. In a net connected application http Protocols are stateless by default. To bring in the objects of different types and get their information as which method property is being used and getting them invoked from a remote machine is Remoting. Remoting actually works across different domains and processes and getting information about the objects used by them through the runtime environment.
How to Write a Useful Bug Report with Bugzilla?
Useful bug reports are ones that get bugs fixed. A useful bug report normally has two qualities:
Reproducible. If an engineer can't see it or conclusively prove that it exists, the engineer will probably stamp it WORKSFORME or INVALID, and move on to the next bug. Every relevant detail you can provide helps.
Specific. The quicker the engineer can isolate the issue to a specific problem, the more likely it'll be expediently fixed. If you're crashing on a site, please take the time to isolate what on the page is triggering the crash, and include it as an HTML snippet in the bug report if possible. (Specific bugs have the added bonus of remaining relevant when an engineer actually gets to them; in a rapidly changing web, a bug report of "foo.com crashes my browser" becomes meaningless after the site experiences a half-dozen redesigns and hundreds of content changes.)
1. Go back to http://landfill.tequilarista.org/bugzilla-tip/ in your browser.
2. Select the Enter a new bug report link.
3. Select a product.
4. Now you should be at the "Enter Bug" form. The "reporter" should have been automatically filled out for you (or else Bugzilla prompted you to Log In again -- you did keep the email with your username and password, didn't you?).
5. Select a Component in the scrollbox.
6. Bugzilla should have made reasonable guesses, based upon your browser, for the "Platform" and "OS" drop-down boxes. If those are wrong, change them -- if you're on an SGI box running IRIX, we want to know!
7. Fill in the "Assigned To" box with the email address you provided earlier. This way you don't end up sending copies of your bug to lots of other people, since it's just a test bug.
8. Leave the "CC" text box blank. Fill in the "URL" box with "http://www.mozilla.org".
9. Enter "The Bugzilla Guide" in the Summary text box, and place any comments you have on this tutorial, or the Guide in general, into the Description box.
What is the use of command objects in .NET
They are used to connect connection object to Data reader or dataset. Following are the methods provided by command object:-
• ExecuteNonQuery: -
Executes the command defined in the Command Text property against the connection defined in the Connection property for a query that does not return any row (an UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT). Returns an Integer indicating the number of rows affected by the query.
• ExecuteReader: -
Executes the command defined in the Command Text property against the connection defined in the Connection property. Returns a "reader" object that is connected to the resulting row set within the database, allowing the rows to be retrieved.
• ExecuteScalar: -
Executes the command defined in the Command Text property against the connection defined in the Connection property. Returns only single value (effectively the first column of the first row of the resulting row set any other returned columns and rows are discarded. It is fast and efficient when only a "singleton" value is required
How do we connect to SQL SERVER, which namespace do we use in .NET
elow is the code, after the code we will try to understand the same in a more detailed manner. For this sample, we will also need a SQL Table setup, which I have imported, using the DTS wizard.
Private Sub LoadData()
‘ note :- with and end with makes your code more readable
Dim strConnectionString As String
Dim objConnection As New SqlConnection
Dim objCommand As New SqlCommand
Dim objReader As SqlDataReader
Try
‘ this gets the connectionstring from the app.config file.
‘ note if this gives error see where the MDB file is stored in your pc and point to thastrConnectionString = AppSettings.Item(“ConnectionString”)
‘ take the connectiostring and initialize the connection object
With objConnection
.ConnectionString = strConnectionString
.Open()
End With
objCommand = New SqlCommand(“Select FirstName from Employees”)
With objCommand
.Connection = objConnection
objReader = .ExecuteReader()
End With
‘ looping through the reader to fill the list box
Do While objReader.Read()
lstData.Items.Add(objReader.Item(“FirstName”))
Loop
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
objConnection.Close()
End Try
What is analytical or analytic mean?
If someone is analytical then it means the person is always thinking about things - analyzing, pondering, etc. A person who is analytical will have all of the facts about something before doing it.
