Just took the “C# Test” under test category “.NET Technologies”. It says in the test topics that it will cover items in Microsoft 70-483 Exam as well. Some questions made me look unprepared. But I still managed to pass it.

This reaffirms the need to read preparatory books for 70-483 other than Wiley’s.

Score : 3.25 out of 5 – Above Average

Better constructor, adding listviewitem object to listview.items collection

Sharing to you a simpler way to add a listviewitem object compared to creating an instance from the items.Add() method and adding subitems to the instance until the columns are completed.

ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(new string[13] {
entity.ItemID.ToString(),
entity.Name.ToUpper(),
entity.Description,
entity.Code,
entity.Remarks,
entity.Size,
CommonFunctions.ReformatToDecimal(entity.Stock, Globals.SystemSetting.InventoryDecimalDigit),
CommonFunctions.ReformatToDecimal(entity.SellingPriceBeforeVAT, Globals.SystemSetting.InventoryDecimalDigit),
CommonFunctions.ReformatToDecimal(entity.MovingCost, Globals.SystemSetting.InventoryDecimalDigit),
brandName,
location,
entity.ItemUnit.ItemUnitName,
CommonFunctions.ConvertBoolToEnglish(entity.Active)});

item.Tag = entity;
listViewItem.Items.Add(item);

 

Just pass an array of strings to the constructor.

70-483 Certification and practice what you have learned.

I am very close to taking 70-483 Microsoft certification. But before taking this 1 hour plus exam I’d like to put what I have learned to practice. I have read one book from Wiley’s for the second time. Planning to read it for the third time. Microsoft publications also has a book for it and I will try to read it as well.

I will be trying to optimize a class library project. That project was meant for pushing XML to a database table(s) in SQL Server. This is a class library owned by my employer. The class library is being injected daily by a windows service. We built a windows forms project to access the class library from a GUI. The XML can be as heavy as 4MB so that’s a lot of instances to insert.

Everything to be practiced is only limited to C# therefore I will try to do

a. profiling and custom text listeners. These are included in the exam.

b. and others I can think of

The goal is to make the class library quicker so readers should expect a before and after comparison chart in the end. I am a new blogger. I will try to make things informative. I hope to be criticized.
