This is a common problem with video format type to play in the web site/web applications if we use the media player. In this article, I would like to give a simple solution to allow the “*.mp4” format video files to play in the media player in our web application in the IIS.   This video file format is not allowed in the IIS under MIME type. The following steps are done in the Internet Information Server (IIS).   Step# 1 Start IIS Manager Select the appropriate website to which we want to allow “mp4” format, then click MIME types Step# 2 Click on Add  Step# 3 Enter the video format information File name extension: .mp4 MIME type: video/mp4  Step# 4 Restart IIS.

Sometimes we might have seen the warning message when we build the solution. These warning won't stop your application execution in fact these are most useful to preventing the defects. In order to suppress this warning message we need to use the pre-processor directives i.e., "#pragma warning" . Example : As shown in the below image , the variable count is assigned and didn't used that value any where. When we build the project able to see a warning in the Error List window. To overcome this warning we need to define the pragma warning pre-processor directive to the variable as shown below. #pragma warning disable   int count = 1; #pragma warning resotre   Hope this article helped you to supress the warnings in visual studio :-)

We may face a scenario to export the data of custom class object to excel using InterOp .You can get the property name's from the class object using Reflection.Create a work sheet header by reading the each propety of the class object.I have created a separate method to get the all properties into a list collection of string as given below         ///         /// Get the list of Properties Name into a list collection.         ///         ///         ///         public List GetPropeties(Employee objEmployee)         {             Type myType = objEmployee.GetType();             IList props = new List (myType.GetProperties());             List lstPropertiesNames = new List ();             foreach (PropertyInfo prop in props)             {                 lstPropertiesNames.Add(prop.Name);             }             return lstPropertiesNames;         } We need to call this method to create the worksheet header's as given beloe                 List lstProperties = GetPropet

Recently I have faced a strange issue in the process of developing a task using script manager for async post backs. The error is " webresource.axd and scriptresource.axd 404 not found " whenever I do any async call I use to get this error " sys is not defined ". I have tried a lot to fix this issue by following the below links. 1. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carloc/archive/2008/12/04/webresource-axd-or-scriptresource-axd-not-working.aspx 2. http://imnettellect.blogspot.in/2010/12/iis-75-webresourceaxd-and.html 3. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1433512/asp-net-web-application-webresource-axd-and-scriptresource-axd-files-loading and so on .... After spending 4 hours I found a new property on asp.net 4.0 called EnableCdn that basically, if it's set to "true", it loads the resources from the Microsoft content resource servers. Refer this link for information about EnableCDN . This worked like a charm and fixed my issue. I hope this snippet can help
