Windows 10 Free Upgrade Available in 190 Countries Today

When we first unveiled Windows 10 in September, we outlined our plans for a new era of Windows. We wanted to create a Windows that empowered people and organizations to do great things. Our vision was one platform, one store, and one experience that extends across the broadest range of devices from the smallest screens to the largest screens to no screens at all.
For Microsoft, Windows 10 begins to deliver on our vision for more personal computing. In this world experiences are mobile, moving with you seamlessly and easily across your devices. Interacting with technology is as natural as interacting with people – using voice, pen, gestures and even gaze for the right interaction, in the right way, at the right time. And in our connected and transparent world, we respect your privacy and help protect your information.
From the beginning, Windows 10 has been unique – built with feedback from five million Windows Insiders, delivered as a service with ongoing innovations and security updates, and offered as a free upgrade* to genuine Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 customers.
Over the months we’ve demonstrated how Windows 10 delivers new capabilities to PCs, tablets, phones, and Raspberry Pi, with innovations like Microsoft Edge, Cortana, Continuum and Windows Hello, and how entirely new categories of devices like Hololens and Surface Hub, will be enabled with Windows 10.
We are delighted to make Windows 10 available in 190 countries today. The launch of Windows 10 is being celebrated around the world with global fan celebrations and a new yearlong initiative to celebrate people and organizations making a difference around the world. We’d love to hear how you plan to help #UpgradeYourWorld. Starting today, you can vote for a global nonprofit to receive a cash donation by simply tagging their social handle and using #UpgradeYourWorld and #vote on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. More information on Upgrade Your World can be found at http://www.windows.com/upgradeyourworld.
Together with our partners, we’re ready for a new era of Windows – we hope you’ll join us.

Asp.net Drag item in Listview using XML file

Introduction

This code-sample includes two ListView controls that the user can sort and move and drag items from one controls to another. This sample can be used in many purposes. For example, you can create an application of online shopping and the customer will have better feelings with your application.

Here is the code

1. Create a C# "ASP.NET Empty Web Application" in Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer 2010.
2. Add a web form named "Default.aspx" in root directory.
3. Create a "XmlFile" folder and add two XML files in it, "ListView1.xml" and "ListView2.xml".
4. Filling some elements in XML file, like code-sample and these data will bind to the ListView controls.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<root>
  <data open="1">element 1</data>
  <data open="1">element 2</data>
  <data open="1">element 3</data>
  <data open="1">element 4</data>
  <data open="1">element 5</data>
  <data open="1">element 6</data>
  <data open="1">element 7</data>
</root>
 
Import some JQuery Javascript library in <head> tag like this:
 
<link href="JQuery/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="JQuery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="JQuery/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Add JQuery functions in Default.aspx page, these two JQuery functions use to dragging and dropping items to a ListView control :
 
<script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $("#sortable1, #sortable2").sortable({
                connectWith: ".connectedSortable"
            }).disableSelection();
        });

        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("li").dblclick(function () {
                $(this).closest('li').remove();
            });
        });
</script>
 
Write C# code in Default.aspx.cs page to bind XML files data:
 
// Bind two xml data file to ListView control, actually you can change 
the "open" property to "0",
// In that way, it will not display in ListView control.
     XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
     using (DataTable tabListView1 = new DataTable())
      {
        tabListView1.Columns.Add("value", Type.GetType("System.String"));
        xmlDocument.Load
        (AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "/XmlFile/ListView1.xml");
        XmlNodeList xmlNodeList = xmlDocument.SelectNodes
        ("root/data[@open='1']");
        foreach (XmlNode xmlNode in xmlNodeList)
                {
                    DataRow dr = tabListView1.NewRow();
                    dr["value"] = xmlNode.InnerText;
                    tabListView1.Rows.Add(dr);
                }
                ListView1.DataSource = tabListView1;
                ListView1.DataBind();
            }

       XmlDocument xmlDocument2 = new XmlDocument();
       using (DataTable tabListView2 = new DataTable())
         {
           tabListView2.Columns.Add("value2", Type.GetType("System.String"));
           xmlDocument2.Load
           (AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "/XmlFile/ListView2.xml");
           XmlNodeList xmlNodeList2 = xmlDocument2.SelectNodes
          ("root/data[@open='1']");
           foreach (XmlNode xmlNode in xmlNodeList2)
                {
                    DataRow dr = tabListView2.NewRow();
                    dr["value2"] = xmlNode.InnerText;
                    tabListView2.Rows.Add(dr);
                }
                ListView2.DataSource = tabListView2;
                ListView2.DataBind();
            }

Build the application and you can debug it.

Please drag items from a ListView control to another, you can also sort items by dragging items to the right position.

Double-click one item to drop it from the ListView control.

Google Maps with Custom Styles and Custom Pin

Google Maps is one of the best services. It is free tool that allows you to easily implement information, rich maps on your website.
In this article we will see how to use the Google Map API and Google Maps with custom styles as in the API that controls the map styles and a custom pin.

Google Map Library
First put Google Maps JavaScript library into the <head> tag.

<script
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>

Google Map Components
There are the following three components to the style the Google Maps map.
  • The featureType
  • The elementType
  • The stylers
featuretype is used to select geographical object, like road, the water, the parks and so on. we use some of the object in this article.
  1. Administrative
  2. landscape
  3. poi
  4. poi.government
  5. road
  6. road.highway
  7. transit
  8. water
For more details, just follow the API reference: Google Maps feature type specification.

elementtype targets the element that is part of the geographical object.

stylers is an array of properties to adjust the object colors and its visibility.

Here is the Code :
We need to add a <div> element and assign it an id.

<div id="pankil"></div>

The Styles in Google Maps are declared with a JavaScript object.
 
window.onload = function () {
    var styles = [
       //add the scripts here
    ]
};

we can add the script for water in styles object.

window.onload = function () {
    var styles = [
    {
     "featureType": "water",
     "elementType": "all",
     "stylers":
      [
         {
            "color": "#b2b2b2" 
         },
     {
    "visibility":"on"
    }]
    }
  ];

we can add the script for the road into the existing styles object.

window.onload = function () {
     var styles = [
     {
         "featureType": "water",
         "elementType": "all",
         "stylers":
              [
                 {
                  "color": "#b2b2b2"
                 },

               {
                 "visibility":"on"
               }
              ]
    },
    {
        "featureType": "road",
        "elementType": "all",
        "stylers":
            [
               {
                "saturation": -100
               },
             { 
               "lightness":45
             }
            ]
     }
];
We can even add the others scripts into an existing styles object.
Also make a custom pin in the script.

var myMarker1 = new google.maps.Marker({position: new
google.maps.LatLng(23.0247119, 72.5714988), map: map, icon: 'local
path of the icon image' });

Then, display the map to the <div> container with the following functions.

window.onload = function () {
       var styles = [
             //add the scripts here
       ]
       };
       var options = {
       mapTypeControlOptions: {
       mapTypeIds:['Styled']
       },
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(23.0167119,72.5728762),
      zoom: 12,
      disableDefaultUI: true, 
      mapTypeId:'Styled'
    };
var div = document.getElementById('pankil');
var map = new google.maps.Map(div, options);
var styledMapType = new google.maps.StyledMapType(styles, { name: 'Styled'});

map.mapTypes.set('Styled', styledMapType);

var myMarker1 =
new google.maps.Marker({position: new google.maps.LatLng(23.0247119,
72.5714988), map: map, icon: 'p.png' });
}

At the end, the map should be appended on the Page.
