Reference: Get Record Counts for All Tables in MySQL

Dim webclient As New System.Net.WebClient Try 'true for bypassOnLocal webclient .Proxy = New System.Net.WebProxy( "180.95.129.232:80" , true ) wc.OpenRead( "http://yoursite.com" ) lblStatus.Text = "ok" Catch lblStatus.Text = "error proxy" End Try

I played around with MySQL count() statement. I found it annoying that the count() will simply return whole numbers. Example: the total record of a table is 32,272. In MySQL SQL, this will simply return 32272. Below are two sql scripts. The first one returns whole number,while the second query returns comma separated number. ENJOY!!!! select count (*) as num_records_notformatted from mytable where name like '%j%' ; Solution: select format( count (id),0) as num_records_formatted from mytable where name like '%j%' ;

Surprisingly, I was not able to find the code below in the intellisense: Control.Dispatcher.CheckAccess() After googling, I found this link: Why is Dispatcher.CheckAccess() hidden from intellisense? I wonder why Microsoft hid some features on intellisense. Or it could be a bug. Regards!!!

Using downloadstring of webclient returns an error as stated by the post title. The solution was to add user agent header to the webclient headers. The value of user agent can be found in the mozilla firebug. Solution: string URL = string .Format(your_url); newWebClient.Headers.Add( "user-agent" , "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 "); string pageSource = newWebClient.DownloadString(URL); pageSource = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(pageSource);
