How to use Tabs in ASP.NET CORE

I want to show Components in a tabs , so first of all create few components. In this project we have three components, First View Component  public class AllViewComponent : ViewComponent     {         private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;         public AllViewComponent(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)         {             _userManager = userManager;         }         public async Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync()         {             List<StudentViewModel> allUsers = new List<StudentViewModel>();             var items = await _userManager.Users.ToListAsync();             foreach (var item in items)             {                 allUsers.Add(new StudentViewModel {Id=item.Id, EnrollmentNo = item.EnrollmentNo, FatherName = item.FatherName, Name = item.Name, Age = item.Age, Birthdate = item.Birthdate, Address = item.Address, Gender = item.Gender, Email = item.Email });             }            

How to Bind DropDownList with Enum MVC

Earlier article was about to bind DropDownList with simple select list of type selectlistitems. These select list may by any type of list either from database or temporary for that view only. In this article we will create an enum, then create a select list through that enum and finally will bind that to drop-down list.

Create an Enum like I have, named OptionType

enum OptionTypes
{
value1,
value2,
value3,
value4
}

After creating enum, write a class that will work like a helper to create select list for that enum:

public static class EnumHelper
{
// Get the value of the description attribute if the   
// enum has one, otherwise use the value.  
public static string GetDescription<TEnum>(this TEnum value)
{
var fleid = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());

if (fleid != null)
{
var attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fleid.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

if (attributes.Length > 0)
{
return attributes[0].Description;
}
}

return value.ToString();
}

/// <summary>
/// Build a select list for an enum
/// </summary>
public static SelectList SelectListFor<T>() where T : struct
{
Type t = typeof(T);
return !t.IsEnum ? null
: new SelectList(CreateSelectList(t), "Value", "Text");
}

/// <summary>
/// Build a select list for an enum with a particular value selected 
/// </summary>
public static SelectList SelectListFor<T>(T selected) where T : struct
{
Type t = typeof(T);
return !t.IsEnum ? null
: new SelectList(CreateSelectList(t), "Text", "Value", selected.ToString());
}

private static IEnumerable<SelectListItem> CreateSelectList(Type t)
{
return Enum.GetValues(t)
  .Cast<Enum>()
  .Select(e => new SelectListItem { Value = e.ToString(), Text = e.GetDescription()                            });
}
}

Go to your controller and write the line as I have:

ViewBag.values = EnumHelper.SelectListFor<OptionTypes>();

Open your view page and write

@Html.DropDownList("values");

Run this view in browser and check, your drop-down list has been bind. This will create a simple list named “values” as specified as parameter. If we want to create a drop-down list for a model then:

@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.property, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.values, new { html parameters })

This will bind this drop-down list as strongly with the property of the model.

Polynomial representation using Linked List for Data Structure in 'C'

Polynomial representation using Linked List The linked list can be used to represent a polynomial of any degree. Simply the information field is changed according to the number of variables used in the polynomial. If a single variable is used in the polynomial the information field of the node contains two parts: one for coefficient of variable and the other for degree of variable. Let us consider an example to represent a polynomial using linked list as follows: Polynomial:      3x 3 -4x 2 +2x-9 Linked List: In the above linked list, the external pointer ‘ROOT’ point to the first node of the linked list. The first node of the linked list contains the information about the variable with the highest degree. The first node points to the next node with next lowest degree of the variable. Representation of a polynomial using the linked list is beneficial when the operations on the polynomial like addition and subtractions are performed. The resulting polynomial can also

Memory representation of Linked List Data Structures in C Language

                                 Memory representation of Linked List              In memory the linked list is stored in scattered cells (locations).The memory for each node is allocated dynamically means as and when required. So the Linked List can increase as per the user wish and the size is not fixed, it can vary.                Suppose first node of linked list is allocated with an address 1008. Its graphical representation looks like the figure shown below:       Suppose next node is allocated at an address 506, so the list becomes,   Suppose next node is allocated with an address with an address 10,s the list become, The other way to represent the linked list is as shown below:  In the above representation the data stored in the linked list is “INDIA”, the information part of each node contains one character. The external pointer root points to first node’s address 1005. The link part of the node containing information I contains 1007, the address of
