How do I get result of dynamic SQL into a variable?


DECLARE @SQLQuery VARCHAR(4000)
SET @SQLQuery = 'SELECT @Query_Result_Count = Count(Column_1) FROM table_A'
DECLARE @Outer_Variable AS INT
EXEC Sp_executesql
@query = @SQLQuery,
@params = N'@Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT',
@Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT
If you can see, we have used “@Query_Result_Count” variable into @SQLQuery which is not declared anywhere before into the declared variable script. This is because we are passing this variable as a parameter into SP_ExecuteSQL statement the same way we are executing the stored procedure. You can check this with “@params = N’@Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT’,” line of statement.
You can get the output of any dynamic SQL into your local SQL variable by declaring that variable first like we did “DECLARE @Outer_Variable AS INT” and then get this variable filled with the values return by executing the SP_ExecuteSQL statement this way “@Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT”. Here “@Query_Result_Count” is the variable that we are passing and using into dynamic SQL.
You can also pass multiple parameters to Sp_ExecuteSQL this way,
@params = N'@Para1 INT, @Para2 Varchar(200), @Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT '
Also you Need to provide values for input parameters like @Para1, and @Para2 by declaring an outer variable or any static values this way:

DECLARE @Outer_Para1 INT
SET @Outer_Para1 = 10
DECLARE @Outer_Para2 VARCHAR(200)
SET @Outer_Para2 = 'Test'
EXEC Sp_executesql
@query = 'SELECT @Query_Result_Count = Count(Column_1) FROM table_A WHERE Column_2 = @Para1 AND Column_3 = @Para2 ',
@params = N'@Para1 INT, @Para2 Varchar(200), @Query_Result_Count INT OUTPUT',
@Para1 = @Outer_Para1 , @Para2 = @Outer_Para2, @Query_Result_Count = @Outer_Variable OUTPUT

Tip/Trick: Fix Common SEO Problems Using the URL Rewrite Extension

Search engine optimization (SEO) is important for any publically facing web-site.  A large % of traffic to sites now comes directly from search engines, and improving your site’s search relevancy will lead to more users visiting your site from search engine queries.  This can directly or indirectly increase the money you make through your site. This blog post covers how you can use the free Microsoft  URL Rewrite Extension  to fix a bunch of common SEO problems that your site might have.  It takes less than 15 minutes (and no code changes) to apply 4 simple  URL Rewrite  rules to your site, and in doing so cause search engines to drive more visitors and traffic to your site.  The techniques below work equally well with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based sites.  They also works with all versions of ASP.NET (and even work with non-ASP.NET content).

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal

Here's how I do it. I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal. Create the interface interface ICustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { int UserId { get ; set ; } string FirstName { get ; set ; } string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipal public class CustomPrincipal : ICustomPrincipal { public IIdentity Identity { get ; private set ; } public bool IsInRole ( string role ) { return false ; } public CustomPrincipal ( string email ) { this . Identity = new GenericIdentity ( email ); } public int UserId { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object. public class CustomPrincipalSerializeMode...

How to create a countdown timer in jquery

Create a countdown timer in jQuery First we need to include the jQuery library file to the HTML page to perform this task. To do that we need to understand that what exactly a jQuery library fie is ? JQuery library file is the library of JavaScript, which means this file contains the predefined functions of jQuery. We just need to call these functions to perform the task. jQuery functions reduces the lines of code and makes our task easy. As this jQuery library file contains the javascript functions so we need to call the function within <script> </script> tag. Now after including the file, we need to define a variable which will store that for how long you want the timer on the page(c=60) and now the time you set needs to be changed in hours , minutes and seconds using the code “ var hours = parseInt( time / 3600 ) % ;var minutes = parseInt( time / 60 ) % 60; var seconds = time % 60;” Now we need to put the condition if timer got finished (if (t...
