Finding maximum value out of different columns

DECLARE @a INT, @b INT, @c INT 

SET @a = 10 
SET @b = 7 
SET @c = 12

FROM   ( VALUES (@a),

How to get the value of checkboxlist in jquery

For the checboxlist create an attribute for each listitem
/*to get the checkbox value in jquery*/
foreach (ListItem li in cbHideColumns.Items)
{
li.Attributes.Add("someValue", li.Value);
}
How to get the value in jquery
$(".cbShowOrHideGvCols input[type=checkbox]").each(function () {
var checkbox = $(this)
if ($(ctrl).is(":checked")) {
var val = checkbox.parent().attr('someValue');
}

jquery - Datatables change language dynamically

1. Consider we need both chinese and english
2. Create 2 text files jquery.dataTables.en-US.txt, jquery.dataTables.zh-CN.txt
3. Go to the url http://datatables.net/plug-ins/i18n
Get the language text and paste it in the relative files.
4. In the masterpage we need to have a hidden control.

5. Store the current language in the hidden field.

hdnLang.Value = SessionProxy.Search.Language.ToLower();

6. Get the language in the javascript file

var locale = ($('#ctl00_hdnLang').val() || "en-us");

7. Dynamically change the datatable language file

var langFile = "../Scripts/jquery.dataTables.en-US.txt";
if (locale === "zh-cn") {
langFile = "../Scripts/jquery.dataTables.zh-CN.txt";
}

8. Using it in the script

var oTable = $('.gvDataTable').dataTable({
    "oLanguage": {
        "sUrl": langFile
    },
    "sScrollX": "99%",
    "bStateSave": true, //http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/573/how-to-stay-on-current-page-after-re-draw/p1
    "fnDrawCallback": function (oSettings) {/*Re-Create serial no for the table*/
        /* Need to redo the counters if filtered or sorted */
        if (oSettings.bSorted || oSettings.bFiltered) {
            for (var i = 0, iLen = oSettings.aiDisplay.length; i < iLen; i++) {
                $('td:eq(0)', oSettings.aoData[oSettings.aiDisplay[i]].nTr).html(i + 1);
            }
        }
         /*Put checkboxlist after filter to show/hide columns after excel export*/
        $('.cbShowOrHideGvCols').appendTo('div.DTTT_container'); 
    },
    /*"sDom": 'r<"H"lf><"datatable-scroll"t><"F"ip>',*/

});

/*when the checkbox checked changed*/
