I have ordered this ICSP pic programmer given on the site: http://triindia.co.in/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=93
Can anyone tell me that how can the output pins of this programmer (Vcc, PGD, PGC, MCR, TX, DX, GND) be connected to the pic to program it.
Actually I don't have any idea of ICSP...so plz tell me the connections of this programmer to the pic pins (I have to program PIC 16F628A)

I usually connect my PIC's VDD pin to power via diode and directly to the +5V VCC ICSP line. That way, my ICSP programmer doesn't accidentally power the rest of the circuit while programming. Dunno if this is necessary, but think I read about this somewhere.
why worry about taste before you eat? -- You get a user guide along with the programmer you have ordered, Anurag_Singh. It will be the best, as supplied by the manufacturer.
I am making the P16PRO40 programmer and it will be ready within couple of days...
But I am already so disappointed with my JDM programmer so I don't want to take any risk... I also have to get my pic programmed within next 10 days by any means.
So I am ordering a programmer to be more sure that my pic will be programmed by the time I need it (I have to submit my college project)...
By the way, is P16PRO40 programmer 100% reliable???

Hello Nigel...
I think I got that occasional PC that u were talking about...I made a p16pro40 programmer and it gave the same result as my JDM programmer(I used your recommended s/w)...
Earlier I got a mail from RUZFACTOR(one of our friend of this site)...He suggested me to buy a pic programmer or to switch to ATMEL programmer as he made 4-5 pic programmers and non of them worked....
I think he was right bcoz my last faith was p16pro40 programmer and it made my mood off...
By the way, the problem with the programmer is that it reads the blank pic but unable to write it at any location containing code other than 3FFF... (same problem was with JDM programmer) and same problem was experienced by RUZFACTOR...
0x3FFF is what a completely blank 16F series PIC reads, and what you get if the PIC isn't getting switched to programming mode - the most common reason (by FAR!!) is too little voltage on the MCLR pin, or too noisy a voltage.
If you used my software it has a manual toggle mode, so you can manually toggle the output pins and measure the voltages.
When the programmer is powered up and connected to the LPT port only the green LED should light up continuously one of the red light up or flashing when starting to program.
