DataSet HasTables Method

-
DataSet Extentions.
Add Methods to Objects.

So, it's getting me tired to always right:
     if (ds != null && ds.Tables.Count > 0)
to make sure that a certain dataset really has tables inside.

So here is an extension I added to the DataSet object:
        public static bool HasTables(this DataSet ds)
        {
            if (ds != null && ds.Tables.Count > 0)
                return true;
 
            return false;
        }

Simple, yet efficient :)

Linked Files in Visual Studio 2010

File Linking, File Sharing and Shared Projects.
You know how it feels to have shared files on VSS? Gooood.
Actually it felt so good that my beloved CTO (who said something about promotion?) switched to TFS just 4-5 months ago.  And ever since - I cry myself to sleep every night.
Instead of one file, shared between 5,6,7 or 10 projects, we now have a copied file for each project.  This is due to Microsoft "Best Practice" which says - No Shared Files.
Meaning...? If I have a JavaScript file called Arrays.js.  It's all purpose is to handle arrays in JavaScript.  This file exists in 6 different projects, which mean, that if I have another addition to this small JavaScript library, I have to copy it to 6 different files in 6 different projects...
JUST SHOOT ME!!!
Finally, I have the fix we've all been waiting for, courtesy of VS 2010: "Add File As Link"
How to Link Files to Different Projects: Let’s say we have 2 completely different web sites. One is 10Bet and the …

SEO One On One - Web of Links

-
Creating Links, Connecting other sites to yours.

The term Web of Links refers to creating multiple sites, each connected to the other one, in order to promote a specific website.

This is exactly what a website owner would like, an hour work (and about 50$  investment) which will generate his website 25 links.

Web of Links is mainly for indexing purposes and less for getting a higher page rank (PR) in search engines (Google).

I'll start by explaining the benefits of the Web of Links method:
Let's say you just created a website.

You've made all the right things...
Listed your site in all the indexes websites, registered to Google Analytics and Google Web Master Tool and even wrote some content pages in order to attract visitors.

This is good, the only problem is that Google may have not indexed all you pages yet.  If you're a small new website, this process can take awhile.

The Web of Links idea simply makes the linking process smoother.

Enter a domain selling website (w…

JSON Object Code Example

-
The first example is to demonstrate the power and the accessibility JSON offers to developers.
This is a JavaScript code designed to make things easier for the -new to JSON- developer:

function User(fName, lName, age, friends)
    {
        var UserObject = {
            FirstName: fName,
            LastName: lName,
            Age: age,
            Friends: [],
            IsUnderAge: function()
            {
                return this.Age > 21 ? true : false;
            }
        };

        var FriendsCounter = 0;
        for (var frnd in friends)
        {
            UserObject.Friends[FriendsCounter] = friends[frnd];
            FriendsCounter++;
        }

        return UserObject;
    }

This is the constructor.  Same as in every OOP language, each object needs to have constructors.

Now, lets say I let a user named Igor fill an information form containing the following fields:
First NameLast NameAgeFriends - each friend will have the same fields.On the "Submit" button I have a call fo…
