Creating a client from WCF service.. converting LIST<> to Array[]

A was getting the problem while downloading the contracts using the svcutil.exe, it was converting the List<> to Array[]. It happens because svcutil consider all lists to be array

So there is an option to download the List<> as well.

svcutil.exe /language:cs /out:g
eneratedProxy.cs /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 http://satindersatty.com:1111/

Update panel scroll problem solved

I have an updatepanel control in the middle of a page, and i have a link at the top of the same page. I refresh the updatepanel by clicking the link ;however, i want the updatepanel to scroll into view as well. My javascript scrollintoview method didnt work because updatepanel tries to keep the last position of the page after it is refreshed. So i searched google and found this script and added it to my page. It worked.

How to spoof a domain a domain name on your localhost

Hi,
Some time we need to check the live code on our local host and there are many API calls which works only on verified domains names, and when you run the same code on your localhost, those calls fails.

So there is an alternative to that. You can change the localhost name to original verified domain name. Thats called domain spoofing.

To do that, Just find the hosts file in your windows directory. Usually its available at following location

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\host

Open this file, you will see an entry for localhost, change localhost name to domain name you want to spoof.

Easy ... Right...

bulk insert tablename
from 'SourcetextfileCompletepath'
with (formatfile='formatfilelocation')
