How to find first weekday in the month in MSSQL

declare @n datetime = dateadd(mm,0,getDate())

   declare @FirstWeekDayOfMonth int

   SELECT @FirstWeekDayOfMonth= CASE

         WHEN Datename(dw, Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, @n) + 1, @n)) = 'Saturday' THEN Day(Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, @n) + 3, @n))

         WHEN Datename(dw, Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, @n) + 1, @n)) = 'Sunday' THEN Day(Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, @n) + 2, @n))

         ELSE Day(Dateadd(dd, -Datepart(dd, @n) + 1, @n))

       END 

   select @FirstWeekDayOfMonth

Note: to find out first day of next month , change  first line to dateadd(mm,1,getDate()) 

1st day of next N month , change the first line to dateadd(mm,n,getDate())

Unit test c#: Create Fake Httpcontext to bypass Null exception for User object

 Microsoft Visual studio Test Framework

Requirement: Nuget package Moq 4.13.0.0 (or later)

Settings in visual studio: Menu->Tools->Options ->Debugging->General

Tick "Use Managed Compatibility Mode"

Code: (copied from stackoverflow)

Step 1: 

Create a new class FakeHttpContext and paste the below code. Change the Returns value to whatever user name you need.

public static class FakeHttpContext

    {

        public static void SetFakeContext(this Controller controller)

        {

            var httpContext = MakeFakeContext();

            ControllerContext context =

            new ControllerContext(

            new RequestContext(httpContext,

            new RouteData()), controller);

            controller.ControllerContext = context;

        }

        private static HttpContextBase MakeFakeContext()

        {

            var context = new Mock<HttpContextBase>();

            var request = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>();

            var response = new Mock<HttpResponseBase>();

            var session = new Mock<HttpSessionStateBase>();

            var server = new Mock<HttpServerUtilityBase>();

            var user = new Mock<IPrincipal>();

            var identity = new Mock<IIdentity>();

            context.Setup(c => c.Request).Returns(request.Object);

            context.Setup(c => c.Response).Returns(response.Object);

            context.Setup(c => c.Session).Returns(session.Object);

            context.Setup(c => c.Server).Returns(server.Object);

            context.Setup(c => c.User).Returns(user.Object);

            user.Setup(c => c.Identity).Returns(identity.Object);

            identity.Setup(i => i.IsAuthenticated).Returns(true);

            identity.Setup(i => i.Name).Returns("sanjeeb");

            return context.Object;

        }

    }

Step 2: 

Initialize the Fakehttpcontext in test initialize function. 

FakeHttpContext.SetFakeContext(usersController);

Accessing SMB share from Raspberry pi (or linux)

 Install smbclient :

sudo apt update 

sudo apt install smbclient

List the share items in the server: 

smbclient -L host

for example: smbclient -L 192.168.0.30

you need to enter password.then you'll see the result like this:

Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.9.5-Debian]

 Sharename       Type      Comment
 ---------       ----      -------
 print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
 RaspberrypiShare Disk      
 IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba 4.9.5-Debian)
 pi              Disk      Home Directories
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.9.5-Debian]

 Server               Comment
 ---------            -------
 RASPBERRYPI          Samba 4.9.5-Debian

 Workgroup            Master
 ---------            ------- 

To browse Shared folder :

smbclient \\\\192.168.0.30\\RaspberrypiShare pa$$w0rd

Create Azure SQL User and add a sql role

I wanted to add a new sql user "sqluser" in Azure SQL server to access a database "sanjeeb". 

Steps to create a new SQL user. 

1) Connect to the Azure sql server with existing user using Microsoft SQL Server Management studio

2) Open new query window under Master database

3) Run the below script
    
    CREATE LOGIN [sqllogin] WITH PASSWORD = 'verystrongpassword#1' 
   

4) Open new query window under database "sanjeeb"

5) Run the below script

CREATE USER [sqluser]

FOR LOGIN [sqllogin]

WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA =  dbo

GO

-- Add user to the database owner role

EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'sqluser'

GO

6) You've now created a user login "sqllogin", user account "sqluser" and added the user to "db_owner role"

7) Connect to the database using the new user login account. 

login: sqllogin

password:verystrongpassword#1

8) Click Options and select Connection properties tab

9) input Connect to database = sanjeeb

10) Click connect

Scrollable readonly EditView in Kotlin

 Scrollable readonly EditView in Kotlin

In the view xml file: 
<EditText
        android:id="@+id/etResult"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="343dp"
        android:background="@color/backgroundColor"
        android:backgroundTint="#00000000"
        android:ems="10"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"
        android:gravity="start|top"
        android:hint="@string/blankfoldermessage"
        android:importantForAutofill="no"
        android:inputType="none"
        android:paddingTop="2dp"
        android:singleLine="false"
        tools:targetApi="o" />

in the kotlin file (init function): 

etResult.keyListener = null

this will allow the edit text to be multiline, not editable but scrollable. 

Simple use of Timer in Kotlin

the code below will set the button to clickable after 30 sec:

btnOk.isClickable=false

Timer().schedule(timerTask {

    btnOk.isClickable=true

}, 1000*30)

the above code runs in a separate thread, 

so the UI is responsive while running this code.

Working with UI controls from Non main thread in Kotlin

import org.jetbrains.anko.doAsync
import org.jetbrains.anko.uiThread

fun anyFunction(){

doAsync {

      // Normal code inside Async thread

      I=I+1

     If(I=100){

    uiThread {

        tvResult.setText =”I is now 100!!”

      }

    }

   //More code

   If(x==0){

     uiThread {

        tvResult.setText =”there’s some problem!”

      }

   }

}

}

Note: - you can include multiple uiThread inside same doAsync

          - you can include multiple doAsync inside any function
