SQL Server Database in Single User Mode

In SQL Server, some times the database is put into the Single User Mode for different reasons and it will appear like:

YourDatabaseName (Single User)

In order to get it into multi user mode, we can use the following command:

Use Master
Alter database set Multi_user
In case we get an error of "Database currently in use". Then we can use the following command to kill the connections and run the above command again.

exec sp_who

We need to find the spid of the database for which we want the multiuser mode. Use the following command to kill that process:

kill

After the above command, we can run the command:

Alter database set Multi_user

The database will be in the multiuser state. Just refresh the whole SQL Server Browser Tree.

Update:

Even after trying out the steps given above, if the database is not restored, use the following commands:

a. Put the database in offline mode.
alter database set offline with rollback immediate

b. Now restore the database from your backup and use the REPLACE_CONTENTS.

The database will be restored and automatically comes in the Online Mode.

How to use QueryExtenderControl in ASP.NET with LINQ

Queryextender control is a control that helps in doing actions like filtration, searching, sorting etc. on the LINQ Data source with few steps. In fact we don’t have to write any code with this. Screenshot given below is just an example that can easily be achieved through this control. In the above screenshot, we can see that there is a GridView Control that has been binded to a LINQData Source Control. And we have a DropDownlistBox that is also binded to another LINQData Source Control and displaying only grouped jobs. The GridView display all the employees who are matching the Job Parameter.
