Introduction of Brushes tools in XAML Silverlight


Introduction

In Silverlight, Brushes is very useful component, it allows selecting any color in variety of ways, and provides visual (user friendly) feedback to play with colors. Any element can be filled using brushes tools. Let’s look at the screenshot of ‘Brushes’ section in Silverlight.


Let’s discuss about its all items.

Fill

This item gets or sets the brush that specifies how to paint the interior of the shape.

Stroke

This item gets or sets the brush that specifies how to paint the shape outline (border).

OpacityMask

This item gets or sets an opacity mask as brush implementation that is applied to any alpha-channel masking for the rendered content of this element.

Look at the screenshot below for more options:-


1. By selecting this option we hide every brush selections or simply say, select this option if you don’t want color box to be appear.

2. By selecting this we can apply solid color to any shape (no any special effect of color).

3. By selecting this we can apply gradient color to any shape. (It is a good topic to learn so in another post we’ll chat).

4. By selecting this we can apply tiled color/image to any shape.

5. By selecting this we can work with brush resources.

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Lambda two tables and three tables inner join code samples

In this blog post you will learn inner join using lambda queries. There will be two samples, in first sample you will see how you can join two tables and in second sample you will see how you can extend even further to join three tables and so on. I will sample in-memory data, but the same implementation will work with IQueryable (lazy query) too. Here's the code snippet:- namespace ConsoleApp1 {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var table1 = new List<Table1>();             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1" , Address = "Address 1" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2" , Address = "Address 2" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3" , Address = "Address 3" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4" , Address = "Address 4" });
