C# Programming and ASP.Net Tips
Add a DataRow and a DataColumn to a DataTable
Here is a simple technique to add a datarow to a datatable.
/Instantiate a new DataTable object.
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
/Create a DataView and a DataRow object. DataView dv;
DataRow dr;
//Add two columns to the datatable
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Plants",Type.GetType("System.String")));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Colors",Type.GetType("System.String")));
//Add some data to the DataTable by creating DataRows, adding information into
each DataColumn and then adding the DataRow to the DataTable. First you want to
create a new DataRow. You do this with the DataTable NewRow method.
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = "Coneflower"; dr[1] = "Purple";
dr[0] = "Clematis"; dr[1] = "Purple";
Now add the DataRow (dr) to the DataTable dt.Rows.Add(dr);
Now you are all set to add the DataTable to a DataGrid to display data to your
users.
Web Business Tips
Are you getting the most from your SEO process? Every once in a while, I will
check my web log files to see what search terms people are using to find my
site. Most of my traffic comes from people that are searching a specific
subject and sometimes a page of my site comes up near the top.
Some of my pages actually end up in the top ten of searches. To me that is very
exciting. Now there are simple techniques you can use to increase your chances
of getting to the top in searches by potential customers.
There are a couple of old direct mail terms called recency and frequency. In
direct mail those terms relate to sending out additional sales brochures to
people based on the number of times they purchased through direct mail and how
soon after a purchase they bought again.
In search engine optimization those terms appear again based on keywords. How
often are you using a keyword on your page? In a number of paragraphs on the
page how many times did you use the keyword? Are the words relevant to the
topic of the page?
Let's say you have a keyword combination of creamy peanut butter. Anytime a
person does a search on that keyword combination you want your website to pop
up in the number one position. Here are steps that will help.
Number 1 - Place the keyword combination in your keyword metatag.
Number 2 - Next place the keywords in your title.
Number 3 - Place that exact string "creamy peanut butter" in the first
paragraph of your page and make that string BOLD
Number 4 - Use that keyword combination in the next paragraph. At least
once.
Number 5 - You can skip a paragraph, but use it again a couple of times
in the next two paragraphs.
Number 6 - Place an image on your page. The keywords should be in the
alt tag.
Number 7 - Put some text referring to the image beside, above or below
the image using the keyword.
Number 8 - After the image add at least 2 more paragraphs. Use your
perfect keywords once in each paragraph.
Number 9 - In the last paragraph italicize the keywords.
This formula will help move you up in the search engine rankings. It will not
guarantee you first place. There are too many factors involved to guarantee
that scenario. The important points to remember. Recency, when did you last use
the keywords? Frequency, how often are you using the keywords? And relevancy,
how relevant are the words to the topic of the page?
A word of warning, don't try this with every keyword. That is a certain path to
failure and exclusion from the search engines.
Landscape Tips
When did you last water your plants? In Illinois we are experiencing a severe
drought. Many counties have asked for federal aid for drought relief. The corn
is looking bad from a distance and looks worse up close. We welcome even brief
bursts of rain.
If you have landscape plants they may not be surviving the heat. Sometimes you
have to take time to water the plants. Many cities place watering bans on
watering your lawn. But you still need to water specific plants and trees.
Those poor trees between the sidewalk and the road never seem to get the water
they need. If you have neglected those trees, take a few moments to water each
one, with a slow drip hose or a watering wand.
Ferns require a couple of waterings a week. Clematis need at least two good
soakings. Russian sage and coneflowers only need watering when they begin to
droop. New plants need special care that first summer until they become
established. If you have planted properly, you have the plants needing water
close together and those that can withstand drought conditions placed in
groupings.
If you see the edges of leaves becoming brown, then you need to water. At this
point those leaves may not recover this summer. But you have saved the roots
and the plant will survive, if you catch their need for water soon enough. In
this type of heat and dryness, you can skip a lawn fertilizing. You will just
burn the yard.
