Everyone of you must have heard that Google just released its’ open source browser - Chrome. So, should web designers be again testing their web designs against this?

The answer is NO.

Theoretically, Chrome uses the same rendering engine that Safari, Adobe AIR, iPhone, and Android use. So as web designers, we don’t have to worry about another annoying engine that can screw up our code.

What you should note, is that Chrome is really more about web applications and not web browsing. Google is basically taking aim at Microsoft Windows with this browser. They are positioning it as a platform to create software on.

This is something that Microsoft has been worrying about for years and I think it is one of the reasons why was MS has been slow to adopt the Web Standards.

Lets you have two datatables having two same columns. This code is useful to merge the columns.

   1: public static DataTable MergeTables(DataTable dtFirst, DataTable dtSecond, string CommonColumn)

   2:    {

   3:        DataTable dtResults = dtFirst.Clone();

   4:        int count = 0;

   5:        for (int i = 0; i < dtSecond.Columns.Count; i++)

   6:        {

   7:            if (!dtFirst.Columns.Contains(dtSecond.Columns[i].ColumnName))

   8:            {

   9:                dtResults.Columns.Add(dtSecond.Columns[i].ColumnName, dtSecond.Columns[i].DataType);  

  10:                count++;

  11:            }

  12:        }

  13:  

  14:        DataColumn[] columns = new DataColumn[count];

  15:        int j = 0;

  16:        for (int i = 0; i < dtSecond.Columns.Count; i++)

  17:        {

  18:            if (!dtFirst.Columns.Contains(dtSecond.Columns[i].ColumnName))

  19:            {

  20:                columns[j++] = new DataColumn(dtSecond.Columns[i].ColumnName, dtSecond.Columns[i].DataType);

  21:            }

  22:        }

  23:  

  24:        dtResults.BeginLoadData();

  25:        foreach (DataRow dr in dtFirst.Rows)

  26:        {

  27:            dtResults.Rows.Add(dr.ItemArray);

  28:        }

  29:        foreach (DataRow dr in dtSecond.Rows)

  30:        {

  31:            foreach (DataRow dr1 in dtResults.Rows)

  32:            {

  33:                if (dr1[CommonColumn].ToString().Equals(dr[CommonColumn].ToString()))

  34:                {

  35:                    foreach (DataColumn c in columns)

  36:                    {

  37:                        dr1[c.ColumnName] = dr[c.ColumnName];
