CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Users](

Die Internet Explorer , Die !

Is Internet Explorer Dying? | ZDNet


In October 2011, according to NetMarketShare, IE is barely above the 50% mark of desktop browsers with 52.63%.
That only tells part of the story though.
On the smartphone/tablet market, IE is a total non-player with IE and Microsoft Pocket IE combined having only 0.17% of the market.
Put the total Web browser markets together, and you’ll see IE has finally dropped below the 50% mark.
IE now has only 49.58% of the total market.

Log.i can be used to log to LogCat Window in Eclipse :
Log.d can be used in debugging ;
Windows -> Show View -> Other -> Android -> LogCat

Log.e() method is used to log errors.
Log.w() method is used to log warnings.
Log.i() method is used to log informational messages.
Log.d() method is used to log debug messages.
Log.v() method is used to log verbose messages.
Log.wtf() method is used to log terrible failures that should never happen.

How to format blog source code

There is WordPress plug-in Google Syntax Highlighter for WordPress, and convenient for WordPress users to integrate to your WordPress blog site. The plug-in author may be wrong here, because the true Google Code highlight tool is Google Code Prettify.

Step 8 : WCF RESTful GET JSON List with FIDDLER


http://pantestmb.blogspot.com/2011/10/step-3-from-soap-to-wcf-restful-get.html

In Step 3 there was a sample of transforming a SOAP Web Service into a WCF RESTful one
with "application/xml" Content-Type ;

In step 7 - there are all the details about the full source code

To be accessed from a Android Client the sample must switch from XML to JSON data-content ;

Let's consider that the webservice is installed on the IP : 192.168.61.3 :
http://192.168.61.3/RestServicePost/RestServiceImpl.svc/json/getallpersons

The code behind the above link : 

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(Method = "GET",
            ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
            BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped,
            UriTemplate = "json/getallpersons")]
        PersonData[] getJsonPersons();

        public PersonData[] getJsonPersons()
        {
            return getAllPersons();
        }


        public PersonData[] getAllPersons()
        {
            SqlConnection dbConn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
            dbConn.Open();
            string sqlSelect = "select * from users ";
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlSelect, dbConn);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            SqlCommand dbCommand = new SqlCommand(sqlSelect, dbConn);
            da.Fill(dt);
            dbConn.Close();
            List list = new List();
            foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
            {
                // Person target = Activator.CreateInstance();
                PersonData target = new PersonData();
                target.Name = row["Name"].ToString();
                target.User = row["UserName"].ToString();
                target.Email = row["EMail"].ToString();
                target.Password = row["Password"].ToString();
                // DataColumnAttribute.Bind(row,target);
                list.Add(target);
            }
            return list.ToArray();
        }

FIDDLER gets from the webservice all the persons from the database in JSON format :
