if(document.all){
           var productSpecs = items[i].innerText.toString();
}
else{
          var productSpecs = items[i].textContent.toString();
}

You can add more parameters as required by the provider.






2. Create a link on your webpage so that the user can add the accelerator to the browser first time.

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddService('http://example.com/search.xml')">Install Acceleratora>

 or a button

<button onclick="window.external.AddService('http://example.com/search.xml')">Add Search Acceleratorbutton>

//To setup pages on which the watermark should appear.(http://www.adultpdf.com/products/pdfstamp/help/help_cs.html)
oTest.apSetFunctionEx(id, 131, 3, 4, "0", "0");

//Code to modify the watermark
if (id > 0)
{
   oTest.apAddTextEx(id, 9, "UNVERIFIED", 8421504, 17, 10, 10, 50, 0, 1, 100, "Arial", 100, 0, "NONE", 0);

How to create a incremental variable in SSRS Reports

SSRS does not provide a way to store a varible and increment its value. Here is a tweak to it. I was working on developing a application form in ssrs where the next party number increments for the parties in the dataset. I had to have a variable to increment (I cannot use row number though). I declared a report variable. Then incremented it with the row number within the scope.

=(Code.RollingSeq + RowNumber(''MainDataset")).tostring() & "a. "
=(Code.RollingSeq + RowNumber(''MainDataset")).tostring() & "b. "

Using Microsoft Messaging Queue With Acknowledgements

How to set up a message queue?

1.Windows-->Control Panel--> Computer Management --> Services and Applications --> Message Queuing--> Private Queues

If you do not see Message Queuing you may need to install this windows features from the add and remove programs.

2. Create a Main Queue and a Acknowledgement Queue.

3. Copy the path and use them in the code below. It is ideal to store them as config elements and use the value.

Example of the path  " localhost\private$\MainQueue "

Dim MainQueue As New System.Messaging.MessageQueue()

Dim AcknowledgementQueue As New System.Messaging.MessageQueue()

Dim Message As New System.Messaging.Message()

Dim AcknowledgementMessage As New System.Messaging.Message()

 MainQueue.Path = "MAIN QUEUE PATH"

 AcknowledgementQueue.Path = "ACKNOWLEDGEMENT QUEUE PATH"

Message.Body = "TEST MESSAGE"

Message.Formatter = New BinaryMessageFormatter(FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple, FormatterTypeStyle.TypesAlways)

Message.Recoverable = True

'Commented to avoid sending the messages to the deadletterqueue

'Message.UseDeadLetterQueue = True

 Message.ResponseQueue = oInterfacesSubmitAckQueue

 Message.Label = _Payload.GetType().FullName

 Message.Priority = Messaging.MessagePriority.Normal

 Message.Formatter = New BinaryMessageFormatter(FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple, FormatterTypeStyle.TypesAlways)

 Message.AcknowledgeType = AcknowledgeTypes.NotAcknowledgeReachQueue Or AcknowledgeTypes.FullReachQueue

 Message.AdministrationQueue = AcknowledgementQueue

 MainQueue.Send(theMessage)

 MainQueue.Close()

 AcknowledgementMessage  = MainQueue.Receive(New TimeSpan(0, 0, 2))

 If AcknowledgementMessage.Acknowledgment <> Acknowledgment.ReachQueue Then

            ' Code to perform actions when the message did not reach the message queue

 Else

 End If
