This AddOrdinal function will be useful when we needed to display the date format as 1st July -3rd October. There is nothing in there about ordinals, but it can't be done using String.Format. However it's not really that hard to write a function to do it. The following Microsoft SQL Server Function is used to get the Ordinal Suffix of any number.

1. CREATE FUNCTION [Internal].[GetNumberAsOrdinalString]
2. (
3.     @num int
4. )
5. RETURNS nvarchar(max)
6. AS
7. BEGIN
8.     DECLARE @Suffix nvarchar(2);
9.     DECLARE @Ones int; 
10.     DECLARE @Tens int;
11.     SET @Ones = @num % 10;
12.     SET @Tens = FLOOR(@num / 10) % 10;
13.     IF @Tens = 1
14.     BEGIN
15.         SET @Suffix = 'th';
16.     END
17.     ELSE
18.     BEGIN
19.     SET @Suffix =
20.         CASE @Ones
21.             WHEN 1 THEN 'st'
22.             WHEN 2 THEN 'nd'
23.             WHEN 3 THEN 'rd'
24.             ELSE 'th'
25.         END
26.     END
27.     RETURN CONVERT(nvarchar(max), @num) + @Suffix;
28. END

It's a user-defined function which is a lot simpler than you think. Though there might be a .NET function already in existence for this, the following function (written in PHP) does the job. It shouldn't be too hard to port it over. This ordinal function will be useful when we needed to display the date format as 1st December 2013.

1. function ordinal($num) {
2.     $ones = $num % 10;
3.     $tens = floor($num / 10) % 10;
4.     if ($tens == 1) {
5.         $suff = "th";
6.     } else {
7.         switch ($ones) {
8.             case 1 : $suff = "st"; break;
9.             case 2 : $suff = "nd"; break;
10.             case 3 : $suff = "rd"; break;
11.             default : $suff = "th";
12.         }
13.     }
14.     return $num . $suff;
15. }

The following C# Code is used to get the Latitude and Longitude Co-Ordinates of a particular place anywhere in the World using the Address or Zip-code. To get the Latitude and Longitude Co-Ordinates using Address, call the function like this, getLatLong("Briarwood, NY 11435-2694",""). To get the Latitude and Longitude Co-Ordinates using the Zip-code, call the function like this, getLatLong("","11435").

1. public string getLatLong(string Address, string Zip)
2. {
3.     string latlong = "", address = "";
4.     if (Address!=string.Empty)
5.     {
6.         address = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" + Address + "&sensor=false";
7.     }
8.     else
9.     {
10.         address = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?components=postal_code:" + Zip.Trim() + "&sensor=false";
11.     }
12.     var result = new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(address);
13.     XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
14.     doc.LoadXml(result);
15.     XmlNodeList parentNode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("location");
16.     var lat = "";
17.     var lng = "";
18.     foreach (XmlNode childrenNode in parentNode)
19.     {
20.         lat = childrenNode.SelectSingleNode("lat").InnerText;
21.         lng = childrenNode.SelectSingleNode("lng").InnerText;
22.     }
23.     latlong = Convert.ToString(lat) + "," + Convert.ToString(lng);
24.     return latlong;
25. }

There is no inbuilt capability in the .NET Base Class Library to get the Ordinals. This AddOrdinal function will be useful when we needed to display the date format as 1st July -3rd October. There is nothing in there about ordinals, but it can't be done using String.Format. However it's not really that hard to write a function to do it. The following C# code is used to get the Ordinal Suffix of any number.

1. public static string AddOrdinal(int num)
2. {
3.     if (num <= 0) return num.ToString();
4.     switch (num % 100)
5.     {
6.         case 11:
7.         case 12:
8.         case 13:
9.             return num + "th";
10.     }
11.     switch (num % 10)
12.     {
13.         case 1:
14.             return num + "st";
15.         case 2:
16.             return num + "nd";
17.         case 3:
18.             return num + "rd";
19.         default:
20.             return num + "th";
21.     }
22. }

Another way:

1. public static string[] SuffixLookup = { "th","st","nd","rd","th","th","th","th","th","th" };
2.  
3. public static string AppendOrdinalSuffix(int number)
4. {
5. if (number % 100 >= 11 && number % 100 <= 13)
6. {
7. return number + "th";
8. }
9. return number + SuffixLookup[number% 10];
10. } 

And the more simplest way:

1. private static string GetOrdinalSuffix(int num)
2. {
3.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("11")) return "th";
4.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("12")) return "th";
5.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("13")) return "th";
6.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("1")) return "st";
7.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("2")) return "nd";
8.     if (num.ToString().EndsWith("3")) return "rd";
9.     return "th";
10. }

We need to disable the re-sizable property of a TextArea. Normally, we can resize a TextArea by clicking on the bottom right corner of the TextArea and dragging the mouse. The following CSS is used to disable this behaviour.

Use the following CSS rule to disable this behavior for all TextArea elements:

1. textarea {
2.     resize: none;
3. }

1. textarea[name=foo] {
2.     resize: none;
3. }

1. #foo {
2.     resize: none;
3. }
