To my surprise, my boss sent me an email this morning. His email said - your rating in the yearly review is downgraded from what I had given you in the review meeting last week. I have to do this because after reviewing the project budget again, I 've found there were many delays. I am wondering what kind of company is this? I would have felt it that bad if he had given me this rating in the proper review meeting instead of going back and bouncing this email after one week.

I want to buy a high end smartphone. I wanted the maximum out of my phone I am from the dot net background and would like to learn mobile app development which is a very high priority so I hope that my smartphone can help in this regard. My confusion is which one should I go for should it be Microsoft's Lumina or Apple's Iphone or Samsung's android Galaxy s3. DO you guys have any suggestion as I am very new to mobile app development and not sure which phone can give me a comparatively smooth ride. Thanks.

Hi, Just had apraisals (annual review). Hate to say but when I considered that when I performed very well I was declared only good and poor dot net coder, probably due to some failure in the recent task assigned this month. When asked about it did not get proper answer from my boss. Should have left the company when the downturn started due to recession. They plan to execute every project now on , on the deadline declared at any cost. Dont know what happens if any missed. So quiet anxious, confused, frustrated,discouraged and helpless. Guys any supporting words to boost my morale? Thanks Meena kumar

Hi group, I hope some of you guys can help me in dealing the tougher condition I am facing. I am working a very small scale company which has a man power of 10. Out of that we have only 3 developers including myself. Since last year, due to recession company started facing tougher times and it brought very tough measures from the management.There are some job cuts in the company. Management can not tolerate any project delays. So we are asked to prepare the tight estimates for the coming project and we have to deliver the project in that tight scope. Preparing the estimates is difficult as there are many unknown variables. So we sometimes end up giving wrong estimates. So for execution we often spend long working day and weekends. COmpany pays bonus for every 4 months and to pay that they do lot of scrutiny. There is a review for that. Every -ve point even if its very small they blow it out of proportion and they warn bonus wont be paid next time. Even if company facing problem they tell that we dont have to worry and during work hours they are very tough to ask the question about project task completions and every now and then we are reminded of the cost of an resource involved in the project. There is no casual relationship in the company and often feel ignored. there is very less talk in the company and we often speak on messenger. ALl this is causing lot of anxiety to me all the time. Mind is not free of -ve thoughts. I get stiff neck all the time and there is always heavy thoughts when I go home until I sleep. Morning same cycle continues. Even on weekend we end up doing some work. so it looks liek there is no escape. Its causing great harm to my self esteem as there is lot of negativity and worried about health. Company is looking for a bigger project but not sure if we can get and even if we get those, will the working environment improve. So help me guys in dealing such tougher times. May be I am weak to handle the situation and ready for the criticism. Thanks Meena kumar

Hi, I really need you help guys. Now i am experiencing something wierd. I just can not concentrate on work. When I come to office early morning. first thing i do is open my mail, news websites, some movie news some blogs and it eats almost one and half hour. then hardly i do few things then again come the lunch time after lunch i feel sleepy then after 3pm i slowly able to concentrate but then three hours are left .. then i repent i uncessarily wasted so much time. I dont feel that enthusiasm of learning and grasping things and be full of information. Have I grown old? or do I need some excercise? I go home in the evening them my thoughts are just into my work there too i change the mood after one and half hour or soo then again in the morning after I come to office i am unable to switch my mood. Guys just dont feel like switching my mood and work. Am I depressed? Please give me some tips . I want to regain that attitude again. thanks, kMeena.

but what if I want to make my application generic. In that case there is no alternative to OLEDB. SqlConnection can not work with oracle database.

Hi, I would like to know that which type of object would give better performance in case I want to work with sql server. Should it be OleDBConnection or SQLConnection? Somewhere I read that SQLCOnnection can give better performance but I think at the sql server there is a SNAC (sql server native access client service) or a Net library which anyway consists of OLEDB and ODBC component. So instead if we use OLEDBConnection, wouldn't it be faster? The next query I have is not related to original question but I request to clear my confusion by letting me know which one is better option to free these objects? Should these be freed by Marshal.ReleaseComObject or just closing the connection and then making them NULL? thanks, kMeena

Hi, In my application, I enter a string as "Show
Names" in a text field which is in updatepanel. This string is stored in database. later on another page this string is used to populate the column header. The column header displays properly as Show Names with break after the string "Show". now I go back to previous page where it loads the values saved in database. There is a check box in the same update panel , clicking on it causes a postback. But then it causes a server error with code 500. It is caused by
string in the text field. At any cost I need this line break for the column header from the saved column header string. How to resolve this issue? Thanks kMeena

Hi , I am working in a small firm and head a group of 5 employees. My support guy is just terminated.My boss has given me new task to view which sites our employees are visiting daily? Probably I want to see if they just scroll through news websites or any other entertainment sites. I tried to get their cookies but they often clear those. Is there any central PC where I can view the visited sites, downloaded material? What commands or function can I use to get these visited links? Thank you, meenakumar
