MSDN Library : Lightweight & Low bandwidth Version

 

As all we know, MSDN is a great resource, having huge details.

Meanwhile probably most of us may felt as ‘it is loading for a long time’ for some times.

Try out, Low Bandwidth MSDN

Normal current version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlnode.aspx

Low band version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlnode(loband).aspx

Really it is simpler and faster.

 

It seems, it is available from several months ago.  :-(

Please have a view on Hanselman’s post for more details.

Get Location details of Site visitors

Scott Hanselman wrote an interesting post about "How to find the location of the website visitors".

Fast Abstract:

Many Paid solutions / services are available.  In case of free available services, Scott is saying about, two approaches.

One: Server-side work: Using http://www.hostip.info/

If we are sending IP address to this site's API, they are returning an xml document with location information. It is community based one, user provided data.

Two: Client-side work: Using Google AJAX API

<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=YOUR_API_KEY" type="text/javascript"></script> <script> google.load("jquery", "1.2.6"); google.load("jqueryui", "1.5.2"); var yourLocation = google.loader.ClientLocation.address.city + ", " + google.loader.ClientLocation.address.region; </script>

Just need to do simple registration from google site. This is working fine, yes, for me provided my ip location correctly.

And If you find any further solutions OR updated information on this, please let me know via ‘comments’.
