1. Selenium

Hello..

Today we focus on Selenium simple program which open Browser and redirects to Softpost.org using C#.net language code.

1. Open Visual Studio and Create new Console Application also add references of OpenQA dlls as shown below:

Click on Add Reference then following window appears where you need to browse and add reference.

Start writing the below code which opens browser.

when you execute this program you may encountered error as below:

This is because geckodriver is not available in bin/debug directory of project which needs to be downloaded from seleniumhq.org site and paste it in /bin/debug/ directory of project.

Once you execute it you may find the page as below:

 

That’s all for the day.

 

 

 

Invalid parameter binding

You may encounter this error when you provide parameter/parameters type in your application data access files mismatch with the actual parameter/parameters type of database procedure.

For example, there is a parameter name model in data access file with type raw which is actually varchar type in database procedure.

Hence encountered invalid parameter binding which can be corrected when

changing type from raw to string in data access file.

That’s all for the day.

Resolved: … is not allowed here because it does not extend class “System. Web. UI. Page”

Whenever you see such error while building websites, web applications or migration from previous versions to higher where mostly encounters.

Don’t panic it is pretty simple but needs attention.

The issue is only in one line of code where you find page directive.

To be more specific I mostly observe this error encountered because of inherits attribute of page directive tag of markup page.

For an instance, adding a aspx page to existing project having multiple directories like registration, sales, services, logs, geographies.

I need to add aspx page to geographies directory of web project. To do it I just right click on geographies directory and click add new item then give name to it and save.

Before you start execution have a look on page directive where you may find improper directive, may be as below:

<%language =vb code behind = page name. Aspx. Vb inherits =forex. Webapp. Pagename. Aspx%>

And this causes error as mentioned in title of post. To get rid of it, it is needed to verify the line as below

<%language =vb code behind = page name. Aspx. Vb inherits =forex. Webapp. Geographies. Pagename. Aspx%>

Hope it may be useful to other geeks.

SSRS Formatting : Line Height

Hi..

I was working on SSRS reports where one of my reports have multiple text boxes with lot of texts inside. It was working fine when I was testing locally but when deployed on reports server few text boxes show text in 1 pt where as I set its font size to some value like 12 pt. After deployment, I reopened the same report in my local system and verified the properties and found that Line Height property of text box was set and hence its text was displayed in 1 pt only. It works fine locally but identified only on report server. The image of the property of Line height is shown as:

Do not set any value to this property which works well.

Thanks.
