How to find out the Service Pack of .NET Framework installed?

Few weeks back one of my team mate asked me this and I said I am not aware of it. Today morning one another guy asked me the same question. Only then i took this to be a serious query :) and tried to find out an solution for it. I am really surprised that there isn't any easy way of doing it.

The workaround which I found is described below:

Step 1: Open windows registry (Start >> Run >> Regedit)

Step 2: For .NET Framework 1.0, look for the below key
Key name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{78705f0d-e8db-4b2d-8193-982bdda15ecd}

Step 3: Within it you could find this, Value : Version

Step 4: Just double click on it. In my box, the data within it was "1,0,3705,2". It means .NET Framework Service Pack 2 has been installed in my machine.

Similarly for .NET Framework 1.1 the Key Name is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{CB2FEDD-9D1F-43C1-90FC-4F52EAE172A1}

Hi guys,

Just go to control panel >> Add and remove programs.

If SP 2 is installed, it will be listed there.

Cheers!

Script table as - ALTER TO is greyed out - SQL SERVER

One of my office colleague recently asked me why we are not able to generate ALTER Table script from SSMS. If we right click on the table and choose "Script Table As"  ALTER To option would be disabled or Greyed out. Is it a bug? No it isn't a bug. ALTER To is there to be used for generating modified script of Stored Procedure, Functions, Views, Triggers etc., and NOT for Tables. For generating ALTER Table script there is an work around. Right click on the table, choose "Modify" and enter into the design mode. Make what ever changes you want to make and WITHOUT saving it right click anywhere on the top half of the window (above Column properties) and choose "Generate Change Script". Please be advised that SQL Server would drop actually create a new table with modifications, move the data from the old table into it and then drop the old table. Sounds simple but assume you have a very large table for which you want to do this! Then it woul

[Non Tech] Want to know the recipe for Omelette :)

Fed up with Bread - Jam and Curd Rice, today i wanted to eat Omelette. Interesting part is I wanted to cook it myself :) So in the first picture you see all the items which are needed for preparing an Omelette. When I had a closer look at the eggs I see that almost all the eggs are broken. But believe me when I bought it couple of days back it was in perfect condition! I was wondering whether the eggs have become rotten or pretty old to consume! I tried taking an egg and break it but couldn't break it at all :) Since I have kept in the freezer all the eggs have frozen and looked like a iron ball :) After trying for few minutes of trying i removed the shell of the egg and then kept that iron ball :) into a bowl and placed it within Oven. I heated it for 1 minute and checked. It melted only to a limit. So i just set it for another 2 minutes and checked it later. It has melted but the part of the egg white has become a Omelette :( I didn't leave it there. I took the bowl out of
