MicroSoft in OpenSource : PHP

As the technologies grow, Microsoft is also lightning it.
Open-source initiatives at Microsoft are important to the open-source community because they give developers greater exposure for their products through access to a broadly adopted platform….The (open-source development and interoperability) initiatives are important because they break down barriers between proprietary and open-source developers allowing them to benefit from each other’s work.

Take a round to an interview with the PHP Classes blog.

Microsoft engineers and contractors have made contributions to the PHP run-time engine and to PHP application projects. And communication between Microsoft; commercial open-source-based companies including Zend, OmniTI, and iBuildings; and open-source developers has broadened significantly.

In other words, both the PHP community and Microsoft benefit from this interoperability development.

Redirect to Error Page Using JavaScript

My readers enquired that how to rehuffle the yellow page on web.
The Yellow page appears when Web-Site got any runtime error.

I always suggested to supercede the Yellow-Page. Try the following code :


namespace AStepAhead.redirectErrorPage
{
public class redirectErrorPage
{
public redirectErrorPage()
{
String strDomainName = “MsDotnetHeaven.com”;
try
{
//Write you coding here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
SystemFramework.ApplicationLog.WriteError(”Error : ” + ex.ToString());
//Redircet you main page to error page
Response.Write(”\n”);
Response.End();
}
}
}

}


Now, in error page, read ErrorString and show to the users.

Step(s): Followings are the steps to perform above:

1. Create an Error Page and named it as errorpage.aspx.
2. Read Error string at Page_load
3. Write above code in your Web Page.

After above, whenever any runtime exception occured, your user will see a maintained / designed error page.
