Solution:
Don't create an empty database and restore the .bak file on to it.
Use 'Restore Database' option and provide the database name while providing the source to restore.

Android: taged unknown / adb devices unauthorized

While debugging  my Android phone in Eclipse  I ran into a little issue with adb.
In the column Targed was displayed : Unknow

So I wrote "adb devices" in console and found, my device is unauthorized

~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached 
00310d2453155029 unauthorized

The solution is:

1.) Disable USB Debugging mode
2.) Connect device with USB cable
3.) Enable USB Debugging mode
4.) Confirmation message will be displayed (Accepting RSA key from computer)

Missing Toolbox in visual studio 2012

After successful installation of the Visual studio 2012 on a new computer I could't  find ToolBox.

Unsupported template dependency : Android Support library

It's a big error in latest Android ADT:

"Latest Android SDK + ADT bundle available for downloading from developer.android.com does not allow to create new projects."

Reported as Issue  60149

The only solution for now is:

Simply manually extract and replace sdk - tools folder. This will use an earlier release until the issue is resolved.

Preprocessor directives vs. Conditional Attributes

This is a simple example where you can see proprocessor directive and also Conditional Attribute.

Code Snippet

     class Program

2. {
3.    static void Main(string[] args)
4.    {
5.  
6. # if DEBUG
7.      Console.WriteLine("Application starts in debug mode");
8. # else
9.     Console.WriteLine("Application starts NOT in debug mode");
10. # endif
11.  
12.      SayHelloOnlyInDebug();
13.  
14.      Console.ReadLine();
15. }
16.  
17.  [Conditional("DEBUG")]
18.   private static void SayHelloOnlyInDebug()
19.   {
20.     Console.WriteLine("Hello!");
21.   }
22. }

       

And what is  different between  proprocessor directive and Conditional Attribute?
Proprocessor directive - the statement in #if #else is compiled conditionally dependent upon thepresence of the DEBUG symbol. 

Conditional Attribute - You might feel more comfortable with the Conditional attribute, which can be used to exclude entire methods, without needing to complicate the source with conditionals on the calling side.

JSON string to object and vice versa

 Simple example (you need .NET 3.5):

The main class is DataContractJsonSerializer

 ...

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;

namespace JSonExample

{

    [DataContract]

    public class Person

    {

        [DataMember(Name = "Name")]

        public string Name { get; set; }

        [DataMember(Name = "Age")]

        public int Age { get; set; }

    }

   

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var customer = new Person {Age = 25, Name = "Albert"};

            string jSon = JSONSerializer<Person>.Serialize(customer);

            //{"Age":25,"Name":"Albert"}

            var deserializedCustomr = JSONSerializer<Person>.DeSerialize(jSon);

        }

    }

    public static class JSONSerializer<T> where T : class

    {

        /// <summary>

        /// Serializes an object to JSON

        /// </summary>

        public static string Serialize(T instance)

        {

            var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));

            using (var stream = new MemoryStream())

            {

                serializer.WriteObject(stream, instance);

                return Encoding.Default.GetString(stream.ToArray());

            }

        }

        /// <summary>

        /// DeSerializes an object from JSON

        /// </summary>

        public static T DeSerialize(string json)

        {

            using (var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(json)))

            {

                var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));

                return serializer.ReadObject(stream) as T;

            }

        }

    }

}
