Banana Yogurt Cake // finally back to baking

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 01:38 by skhan

This was the first time I had a chance to bake with yogurt and without butter.  The result was quite good if not perfect

I believe the flour content should be a bit less.

But never mind it wasn't that bad !

If you are tempted to make your own, see the recipe here @Bakingdelight

Finding a Nested Data Control

Tuesday, 21 October 2008 09:10 by skhan

FindControl method doesn't work in some cases. For instance you won't be able to get to a DataList which is nested in another DataList. This "reality" came to my realization when I was trying to do the same today morning. I googled "Finding a datacontrol within a datacontrol"*  and I landed at Coding Horror. The solution lies in using a recursive find control method. Here's  the code:

        // recursive control finder ! Blisssss!

        private Control FindControlRecursive(Control root, string id)
        {
            if (root.ID == id)
            {
                return root;
            }

            foreach (Control c in root.Controls)
            {
                Control t = FindControlRecursive(c, id);
                if (t != null)
                {
                    return t;
                }
            }

            return null;
        }

Example:

DataList nestedDataList = this.FindControlRecursive(rootDataList, "nestedDataList") as DataList;

*at times bad search strings work!

What is Twitter ?

Wednesday, 15 October 2008 03:52 by skhan

None of my contacts are on twitter! Its so disppointing since none of my friends (nzahra you are an exception! :p) are aware of the sweetness of making tweets. I don't remember a single gethering where I didn't try to convince my friends to be on twitter. Yesterday I sent invitations to all of them but ironically even after so many convincing efforts no one even bothored to reply to my invitation, joining twitter after the invitation is so out of question!

I don't know why twitter doesn't appeal to some folks. Its such a lovely & interesting app that its so difficult to not to fall in love with it. Below is the Common Craft video explaining Twitter Magic and I beleive if anyone of my contacts were still thinking what is twitter should get the answer.

Unintensional Hiatus...

Sunday, 12 October 2008 21:52 by skhan

Its better late than never ! This blogging thing really facinates me and the whole idea of blogging is so exiciting for me. But even then over the months I'm unable to blog regularly. Well, I guess its my laziness which keeps me away. I've noticed no matter how much I'm busy I find time to read my favorite blogs but when it comes to my own blog I feel myself so lethargic to write up long posts. I keep on noting my post ideas on my desktop stickies and my cell phone's notes.  Two days back when I thought of my sweet blog waiting for me to atleast visit it, I couldn't believe its been 2 months since I last posted! So, today I contemplated all the idea posts being stored in different places (computer & cell phone) to finally take my blog seriously.

.........................

...............................

uffff can't think of anything else to write in this post, just when I put the period after the word "seriosuly" my stupid younger brother came in and started mumming right over my head, after popping him off when I tried to focus again, my cell phone's beep alerts me about low battery ! 

I guess I should better end this post here and plan to get back to write up some post from my posts ideas hut............ oh I just remmbered a very nice site I stumbled upon yesterday called Ideas Hut. The whole idea behind the Idea Hut is very interesting. Do visit it and post in your ideas if you have any! 

See you all later!
