Rare Videos of Warren Buffet

I was browsing throught Google Videos today and came across some videos on Warren Buffet.
The videos talk about Warren Buffet's life, his investment philosophy, his friend ship with Charlie Munger and Bill Gates and his philanthropy. I have read a book on Warren Buffet but haven't seen him talk till now. The videos are made by Charlie Rose in an interactive way and are very engaging even if you do not know anything about Warren Buffet. I have learned a lot from these videos.

This video talks about Buffet's childhood, his family and marriage .

Clear Validation Errors and Validation Summary messages

ASP.net built in validation does not provide us a straight forward to clear all the validation errors. This would be really helpful while resetting a form. The reset html button would simply reset the form values but will not clear the validation errors. The following javascript code snippet can be used to clear the validation error messages. Have a reset button on your form and call the following js function onclick. <input type="reset" onclick="HideValidationErrors();" /> function HideValidationErrors() { //Hide all validation errors if (window.Page_Validators) for (var vI = 0; vI < Page_Validators.length; vI++) { var vValidator = Page_Validators[vI]; vValidator.isvalid = true; ValidatorUpdateDisplay(vValidator); } //Hide all validaiton summaries if (typeof (Page_ValidationSummaries) != "undefined") { //hide the validation summaries ...

I found the following two part article by Gail Shaw on Simple-Talk really helpful in trouble shooting poorly performing queries in Sql Server.

SharePoint: Comparing dates in XSLT

In one of my sharePoint projects, I had to compare a date with the current date in XSLT. As it turned out, there is no support for date comparision in XSLT. This is how I went about doing it. The trick involves converting the date string into a number Say the date is in ISO format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (for example, 2001-01-21T22:54:47Z). Say we have a variable DueDate <xsl:variable name="DueDate" select="'2001-01-21T22:54:47Z'"> Replace the dashes in the string with empty string Take the first 10 character in the date sring convert the string to number number(translate(substring(@DueDate,1,10),'-','')) On doing the above we get: 20010121 We can do the same thing with the date to compare. We can compare the duedate with the current date in SharePoint as follows number(translate(substring(@DueDate,1,10),'-','')) & lt; number(translate(substring(ddwrt:TodayIso(),1,10),'-','')) You can apply the same log...
