what is the use of partial class in C#

A partial class splits the definition of a class over two or more source files. You can create a class definition in multiple files but it will be compiled as one class.

More than one developer can simultaneously write the code for the class.
Suppose you have a "Emp" class. That definition is divided into the two source files "Emp1.cs" and "Emp2.cs". Then these two files have a class that is a partial class. You compile the source code, then create a single class.
Or Suppose you have a class that has multiple interfaces so you can create multiple source files depending on interface implements. It is easy to understand and maintain an interface implemented on which the source file has a partial class.

What is the use of static variable in C#? When to use it? Why can't I declare the static variable inside method?

A static variable shares the value of it among all instances of the class.

Example without declaring it static

public  class Variable
{
    public int i = 5;
    public void test()
    {
        i=i+5;
        Console.WriteLine(i);
    }
}


public class Exercise
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Variable var = new Variable();
        var.test();
        Variable var1 = new Variable();
        var1.test();
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
Explanation:If you look at the above example i just declare int variable.when i run this code the output will be 10 and 10.Its simple

Now Lets Look at the static variable Here,I am declaring the variable as a static.

Example with static variable

public  class Variable
{
    public static int i = 5;
    public void test()
    {
        i=i+5;
        Console.WriteLine(i);
    }
}


public class Exercise
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Variable var = new Variable();
        var.test();
        Variable var1 = new Variable();
        var1.test();
        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}
Now when I run above code then the output will be 10 and 15. So static variable value is shared among all instances of that class.

Difference between Code first, Model first & Database first

n this article we are going to discuss difference between Code First, Model First & Data Base First. These are the basic approaches used in Entity Framework.  

Code first

• popular in hardcore programmers.
• The database is used for data only.
• Manual changes to database will be lost because your code defines the database.
• Full control by code.

Database first

• Mostly used when Database is already created.
• If you want additional features in POCO entities you must either T4 modify template or use partial classes.
• Code is auto generated..
• The developer can update the database manually.

Model first

• We can create the database model.
• Extensible through partial classes
• Manual changes to database will be most probably lost because your model defines the database.

Disable Future And Past Date of jQuery Calendar In ASP.NET MVC

$(document).ready(function() { 

    $("#EnterDate").datepicker({ 

        dateFormat:"dd-mm-yy", 

        minDate: -0, 

        maxDate: "+0M +0D" 

 

    }); 

});

 ---------------------

 Now let us change the maxDate property to enable only five days from current date

$(document).ready(function() {  

    $("#EnterDate").datepicker({  

        dateFormat:"dd-mm-yy",  

        minDate: -0,  

        maxDate: "+0M +4D"  

    });  

});
