tsql INSERT INTO for bulk copy of records from SqlServer table to table

I have been using tsql

Select * into Tbl2 from Tbl1 where FName = 'David'

for a long time, as a shortcut to create new table Tbl2, a copy of Tbl1 including schema and data.

I'm glad I finally found out about :

Insert into Tbl2 ( LastName , FirstName , AdmitDate) select Last, First, RevDate from Tbl1 where FName = 'David'

to use when Tbl2 is already in existence.

Include a derived control in my aspx page

register control at top of page giving it a TagPrefix:

<%@ Register Assembly="iProjectName" Namespace="iNamespceInCsFile" TagPrefix="ifc" %>

use tag prefix and control name in aspx

<ig:TemplateDataField Key="key1" Width="30px">
     <ItemTemplate>
     <ifc:CtrlClass ID="id1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval "BoundCol1") %>' />
     </ItemTemplate>
</ig:TemplateDataField>

"CtrlClass" is the derived control class name, which is in a cs file name doesn't matter, but namespace is "iNamespceInCsFile" in project ="iProjectName".

Comparison of ig bound Templated Checkbox to boolean BoundDataField

Shows up as text "true" or "false":
        <ig:BoundDataField DataFieldName="IsCostSaving" Key="IsCostSaving" width="30px">
            <Header Text="Cost Saving" />
          </ig:BoundDataField>

         <ig:TemplateDataField Key="cb1" width="30px">
            <Header Text="Cost Saving" />
               <ItemTemplate>

                </ItemTemplate>
          </ig:TemplateDataField>

Looping thru Infragistics WebDataGrid on the Server

Took me a while to find this. With some help from ig, thank you Chandradeep!

         protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              //  loop thru selected cells and get their values 
                 foreach (GridRecordItem itm in WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.Selection.SelectedCells)
                  {
                      object ttt = itm.Text ;
                  }
            
              // example of  looping thru selected rows and getting values of columns
              foreach (GridRecord row in WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.Selection.SelectedRows)

Case sensitive column contents in SqlServer

Use the following t-sql code to make the contents of a column case sensitive regardless of the default db setting:

alter table TheTableName alter column TheColumnName TypeOfColEgVarchar(20)OrChar(6) collate Latin1_General_CS_AS

for example:
alter table People alter column LastName varchar(20) collate Latin1_General_CS_AS

Am using this in SqlServer 2005.

select right ('StringOfZerosAsManyAsMaxNeededMoreIsOK'
+ cast ( AnIntegerLiteralOrIntVariable as varchar)
, IntLiteralWhichIsTotalLengthOfNeededString)

declare @counter int
set @counter = 126
select right ('000000' + cast ( @counter as varchar) , 6 )

result:

declare @counter int
set @counter = 12345678
select right ('000000000' + cast ( @counter as varchar) , 6 )

result:

declare @counter int
set @counter = 123
select right ('00' + cast ( @counter as varchar) , 6 )

result:
