Break your addiction to negative thinking Break your addiction to negative thinking Bởi: Joe Tye “Negative thinking must be treated like any addiction – with commitment to life, patience, discipline, a will to get better, forgiveness, self-love, and the knowledge that recovery is not just possible, but, following certain guidelines, inevitable.” Peter McWilliams: You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought Psychologists tell us that the human mind will automatically gravitate toward negative, frightening, and depressing thoughts unless a conscious effort is made to steer thinking in a more positive direction Compounding this hardwired predisposition, from a very early age we are subjected to negative messages from parents (the first word a toddler learns is “no”), teachers, schoolyard bullies, and abusive bosses (which is what schoolyard bullies often become when they grow up) Negative thinking actually does share many characteristics with substance addiction It starts with a small dose – usually with someone else giving you the first one free (the parent, the teacher, the schoolyard bully) You grow tolerant to it over time and so the dose increases “Look at that pimple” over time becomes “You’re ugly” which in turn transmogrifies into “You’re unlovable.” Like any gateway drug, one negative thought opens the door to other forms of negative thinking The suspicion that you’re unlovable leads to increasingly desperate attempts to get other people to prove you wrong, and to increasingly intense fear of rejection – both of which lead to behaviors that are almost guaranteed to eventually bring about the feared result As with any addictive substance, you develop a tolerance for negative thinking You get to the point where you hardly notice that it’s going on, and when you it doesn’t strike you as being a problem (Me? No, I don’t have a drinking problem! Me? No, I don’t have a negative thinking problem!) And as with any addiction, you are aided and abetted by co-conspirators – the people who don’t want you to stop listening to their whining and being in on their gossip 1/2 Break your addiction to negative thinking sessions; well-intentioned friends and relatives who discourage you from quitting the day job you hate, and that is the source of much of your inner negativity, so you can start a business doing something you love; the shrink who assures you that it’s all your parents’ fault And as with any addiction, nobody can break you free until you take complete and total personal responsibility for yourself 2/2 Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL Microsoft ® Virtual Labs Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL Table of Contents Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL 1 Exercise 1 Creating Your First LINQ TO SQL Application . 2 Exercise 2 Creating an Object Model 7 Exercise 3 Using Code Generation to Create the Object Model 11 Exercise 4 Modifying Database Data 17 Exercise 5 Working with Advanced Features 22 Lab Summary 27 Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL Page 1 of 27 Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL Objectives After completing this lab, you will be better able to:  Create an object model from the database and customization of mapping between objects and tables; and  Utilize data access tasks often called CRUD operations – an acronym for Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete operations. These tasks can be performed with a simple API without creating explicit SQL insert/update/delete commands. Scenario This lab shows how to access relational data using LINQ to SQL. You will start by creating an object model for the Northwind database, and then use the object model to access the database using the new C# 3.0 query expressions and LINQ to SQL APIs. You will next create an object model from an existing database using the LINQ to SQL Designer. This part covers mapping relationships across tables and using Create, Update, and Delete operations. Use of the object model covers the use of transactions, object loading options, stored procedure integration and object identity with LINQ to SQL. LINQ to SQL is a language-agnostic component of the LINQ Project. This is C# version of the lab but LINQ to SQL can be used just as well with the LINQ- enabled version of the Visual Basic compiler. The LINQ Project relies on new keywords and syntax introduced with C# 3.0available in Beta 1 of Visual Studio ”Orcas”. This gives us the opportunity to use new IDE features like the integrated debugger, IntelliSense™, and instant syntax check. Estimated Time to Complete This Lab 60 Minutes Mapping Your Objects to Database Tables with LINQ to SQL Page 2 of 27 Exercise 1 Creating Your First LINQ TO SQL Application Scenario In this exercise, you will learn how to map a class to a database table, and how to retrieve objects from the underlying table using LINQ. Note: When starting Visual Studio you will be prompted to choose your default environment, choose General Development Settings. Tasks Detailed Steps 1. Creating a LINQ Project a. Click the Start | Programs | Microsoft Visual Studio 9 | Microsoft Visual Codename Orcas menu command. b. In Microsoft Visual Studio, click the File | New | Project… menu command c. In the New Project dialog, in Visual C# |Templates, click Console Application d.
