ASP.NET launches new version for ASP.NET MVC. That is ASP.NET MVC 5.2. The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is an architectural design principle that separates the components of a Web application. This separation gives you more control over the individual parts of the application, which lets you more easily develop, modify, and test them.

What’s new in ASP.NET MVC 5.2? Well, they offer new feature from Attribute Routing. Attribute Routing now provides an extensibility point called IDirectRouteProvider, which allows full control over how attribute routes are discovered and configured.

The good news for developer ASP.NET MVC 5.2 is the new IDirectRouteProvider is responsible for providing a list of actions and controllers along with associated route information to specify exactly what routing configuration is desired for those actions. An IDirectRouteProvider implementation may be specified when calling MapAttributes/MapHttpAttributeRoutes.

There is syntax for MapAttributes/MapHttpAttributeRoutes

public static void MapHttpAttributeRoutes(

                this HttpConfiguration configuration

 )

Extending the default implementation with DefaultDirectRouteProvider will be easier for customizing IDirectRouteProvider. Because this class provides separate overridable virtual methods to change the logic for discovering attributes, creating route entries, and discovering route prefix and area prefix.

IDirectRouteProvider.cs

 using System.Collections.Generic;
 #if ASPNETWEBAPI
 using System.Web.Http.Controllers;
 #endif
 
 #if ASPNETWEBAPI
 namespace System.Web.Http.Routing
 #else
 namespace System.Web.Mvc.Routing
 #endif
 {
     /// <summary>
     /// Defines a provider for routes that directly target action descriptors (attribute routes).
     /// </summary>
     public interface IDirectRouteProvider
     {
         /// <summary>Gets the direct routes for a controller.</summary>
         /// <param name="controllerDescriptor">The controller descriptor.</param>
         /// <param name="actionDescriptors">The action descriptors.</param>
         /// <param name="constraintResolver">The inline constraint resolver.</param>
         /// <returns>A set of route entries for the controller.</returns>
 #if ASPNETWEBAPI
         IReadOnlyList<RouteEntry> GetDirectRoutes(
             HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor, 
             IReadOnlyList<HttpActionDescriptor> actionDescriptors,
             IInlineConstraintResolver constraintResolver);
 #else
         IReadOnlyList<RouteEntry> GetDirectRoutes(
             ControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor,
             IReadOnlyList<ActionDescriptor> actionDescriptors,
             IInlineConstraintResolver constraintResolver);
 #endif
     }
 }

ASP.NET 4.5.2 is the latest ASP.NET version; it is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1. The new ASP.NET 4.5.2 some new features that very useful for ASP.NET developer. What's new in this release of .NET 4.5.2 Framework?

• New APIs for ASP.NET apps;
• Resizing in Windows Forms controls;
• New workflow features;
• Profiling improvements;
• Debugging improvements;
• Event tracing changes.
  

  

Well, now I will be talking about one of them. It is about “Event tracing”. As you know that Event Tracing for Windows or ETW is an efficient kernel-level tracing facility that lets you log kernel or application-defined events to a log file. It makes you can consume the events in real time or from a log file and use them to debug an application or to determine where performance issues are occurring in the application.

And not only that, ETW has more function again. ETW lets you enable or disable event tracing dynamically, allowing you to perform detailed tracing in a production environment without requiring computer or application restarts. Use ETW when you want to instrument your application, log user or kernel events to a log file, and consume events from a log file or in real time.

In the new ASP.NET 4.5.2 Event Tracing has great change. The new .NET Framework 4.5.2 enables out-of-process, Event Tracing for Windows based activity tracing for a larger surface area. Not only that, this enables Advanced Power Management (APM) vendors to provide lightweight tools that accurately track the costs of individual requests and activities that cross threads. These events are raised only when ETW controllers enable them; therefore, the changes don’t affect previously written ETW code or code that runs with ETW disabled.

Are you interest with other new features in ASP.NET 4.5.2? So just stay tune in this blog. We will always give you up to date news about ASP.NET.

Plesk 12.0 was released and is already available for deployment. The general availability mark will be set a little bit later, but now this release is in the “early adopter” stage. This means that you can install it right now and start using the new features.

Like any technology, especially in the current day and age, it has to have an emphasis here, especially if its primary focus, or location, is the internet. Parallels Plesk 12 is no exception.

Gladly, version 12 comes with a raft of changes and new features which ensure it has security firmly at the core of the latest release, including:

• ModSecurity - One of the key additions to Plesk 12 is ModSecurity, which is a free, web application firewall, designed to help detecting and preventing attacks on web applications, such as Wordpress and Joomla.
• Fail2ban - Fail2Ban is used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time, along with other, configurable, actions.
• Outbound Email Limiting - This was implemented in Plesk 12, as a way for systems administrators to protect their server’s IP addresses from being put into spam blacklist, due to outgoing spam.
• WordPress installation - Now customers can update several WordPress installations at the same time. Several WordPress plugins and themes can also be updated at the same time, as well as individually.
• Setup button - Users can now add custom buttons to the website tools area in Websites & Domains.
• New Plesk Interface - Links, buttons and menu items on the Plesk UI that lead to new functionality are now marked with a red arrow. Red arrows disappear after the user proceeds to the pages containing new functionality.
• Secure - Extended security restrictions for file permissions and configuration files are now applied to new WordPress installations.
• IIS performance - The performance of IIS-based servers with large numbers of subscriptions was improved.

Knockout.js is a javascript library that allows us to bind html elements against any data model. It provides a simple two-way data binding mechanism between your data model and UI means any changes to data model are automatically reflected in the DOM(UI) and any changes to the DOM are automatically reflected to the data model.

Based on ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC allows software developers to build a web application as a composition of three roles: Model, View and Controller. The MVC model defines web applications with 3 logic layers: The business layer (Model logic),The display layer (View logic),The input control (Controller logic).

This article will demonstrate how to load a KnockoutJS view model from a C# controller using ajax in an ASP.NET MVC project. I’m just going to jump straight into the code for this sample.  To get started we need to create a new action in the controller.  For the purposes of this sample this action will return a randomly populated Person object (see the previous articles for the definition) so that we can see the content changing.  Here is the action:

public class SampleController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult AjaxModelLoading()
    {
        Person model = CreateRandomModel();
        if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
        {
            return new JsonNetResult(model);
        }
        return View(model);
    } 
    private static Person CreateRandomModel()
    {
        Random random = new Random();
        string[] firstNames = { "Billy", "Kevin", "Michael", "Steve" };
        string[] lastNames = { "Jordan", "Smith", "Wild", "Walker" };
        string firstName = firstNames[random.Next(firstNames.Length)];
        string lastName = lastNames[random.Next(lastNames.Length)]; 
        return new Person
        {
            FirstName = firstName,
            LastName = lastName,
            EmailAddress = string.Format("{0}@{1}.com", firstName, lastName),
            PhoneNumber = random.Next(int.MaxValue).ToString("D10"),
            DateOfBirth = DateTime.Today.AddYears(random.Next(-50, -10))
        };
    }
}

This action creates the Person object and then detects if the HTTP request was made using ajax.  If it was then it serializes the model as JSON and if it is a standard HTTP request it returns the view.  This is a handy technique for implementing a simple refresh of data in the view without retrieving all the HTML from the server again.

On line 9 you can see that I have not used the standard ASP.NET JSON serializer.  Instead I went with my own ActionResult which makes use of JSON.NET to give myself more control over the generated JSON.  For reference the code for my JsonNetResult class is below: public class JsonNetResult : ActionResult
{  
    private const string ContentType = "application/json"; 
    private readonly object data;
    private readonly Formatting formatting;
    private readonly JsonSerializerSettings serializerSettings; 
    public JsonNetResult(object data)
    {
        this.data = data;
        formatting = Formatting.None;
        serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
       {
            ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
        };
    }
    public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
    {
        HttpResponseBase response = context.HttpContext.Response;
        response.ContentType = ContentType;
        if (data != null)
        {
            JsonTextWriter writer = new JsonTextWriter(response.Output) { Formatting = formatting };
            JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.Create(serializerSettings);
            serializer.Serialize(writer, data);
            writer.Flush();
       }
    } 
    public object Data
    {
        get { return data; }
    }
}

Next we need to create the KnockoutJS view model to bind to the view.
var AjaxModelLoading = function(url) {
    var self = this;
    self.isLoaded = ko.observable(false);
    self.isLoading = ko.observable(false); 
    self.getRandomModel = function () {
        self.isLoading(true);
        self.isLoaded(false);
 
        // Setting a timeout so the loading text is visible in the sample
        setTimeout(function() {
            $.ajax(url, {
                type: "GET",
                cache: false,
            }).done(function(data) {
                ko.mapping.fromJS(data, {}, self);
                self.isLoaded(true);
                self.isLoading(false);
            });
        }, 1000);
    };
};

This view model defines a function which will be used to handle a click event from the view in order to refresh the data. It also does some basic state management to determine if the content has been loaded or is in the process of loading.  I have put in a short delay between the click in the view and executing the ajax request in order to make the loading state management more apparent for the sample.

Lastly we need to create the view.
@model Quickstart.Web.Models.Person 
@section scripts
{
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/Scripts/ViewModels/AjaxModelLoading.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var viewModel = new AjaxModelLoading("@Url.Action("AjaxModelLoading")");
        ko.applyBindings(viewModel); 
        viewModel.getRandomModel();
    </script>
}
 
<h2>Ajax Model Loading Sample</h2>

<div data-bind="if: isLoading()">
    Loading...
</div>
 
<div data-bind="if: isLoaded()">
    <div>
        <label>First Name:</label>
        <input type="text" data-bind="value: firstName"/>
    </div>
 
    <div>
        <label>Last Name:</label>
        <input type="text" data-bind="value: lastName"/>
    </div>

    <div>
        <label>Email Address:</label>
        <input type="text" data-bind="value: emailAddress"/>
    </div>
 
    <div>
        <label>Phone Number:</label>
        <input type="text" data-bind="value: phoneNumber"/>
    </div>
 
    <div>
        <label>Date of Birth:</label>
        <input type="text" data-bind="value: dateOfBirth"/>
    </div>
</div>
<a href="#" data-bind="click: getRandomModel">Get random person</a>

In this article I’m going to explain how to integrate ASP.NET applications in facebook.
Facebook has provided functionality that extends the Facebook Platform to any website that wants to integrate Facebook APIs for user authentication, sharing website content with friends, and publishing feed stories to generate traffic.
Here I’ll show you how to integrate ASP.NET Apps in Facebook.  Please follow the steps given below.

Setting up Facebook App

• To create facebook app click on Developer section
• Click on Set up New App button.
• Agree Facebook terms and click on Create App
• Put Security Check keywords.
• Click on Submit.
• Fill basic information about app

• Click on Facebook Integration tab.
• Put Name of Canvas page.
• Before putting URL of webpage of your website, I want to show how your page can get callback from facebook app. So first we create webpage in our website:
• Create asp.net website in Visual studio.
• Add reference of Facebook.dll from “C:\Program Files\Coding4Fun\Facebook\Binaries”. This dll will be placed after installing Facebook Developer kit on your machine.
• Create instance of FacebookService object. you can copy facebook app api key and secret key from application page on facebook in source code.

put above values in FACEBOOK_API_KEY and FACEBOOK_SECRET constants respectively.
you can get user_id of facebook who requested this application by calling
string userId = Session["Facebook_userId"] as String;

you can also get many information about user like name, sex, location,friends etc.
User usr=_fbService.GetUserInfo();

Source Code:

using System;
using Facebook;
public partial class Facebook_ConnectFacebook : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    Facebook.Components.FacebookService _fbService = new Facebook.Components.FacebookService();
    private const string FACEBOOK_API_KEY = "191856207506775";
    private const string FACEBOOK_SECRET = "820c0b05b14a09365e072c8d37a8c49f";

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        _fbService.ApplicationKey = FACEBOOK_API_KEY; _fbService.Secret = FACEBOOK_SECRET;
        _fbService.IsDesktopApplication = false;
        string sessionKey = Session["Facebook_session_key"] as String;
        string userId = Session["Facebook_userId"] as String;
       
    // When the user uses the Facebook login page, the redirect back here
    // will will have the auth_token in the query params
       
    string authToken = Request.QueryString["auth_token"];
       
    // We have already established a session on behalf of this user
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionKey))
        {
            _fbService.SessionKey = sessionKey; _fbService.UserId = userId;
        }
        // This will be executed when Facebook login redirects to our page        
        else if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(authToken))
        {
            _fbService.CreateSession(authToken);
            Session["Facebook_session_key"] = _fbService.SessionKey;
            Session["Facebook_userId"] = _fbService.UserId;
            Session["Facebook_session_expires"] = _fbService.SessionExpires;
        }
        // Need to login        
        else
        {
            Response.Redirect(@"http://www.Facebook.com/login.php?api_key=" + _fbService.ApplicationKey + @"&v=1.0\");
        }

        User usr = _fbService.GetUserInfo();
        string t = string.Format("User Name:{0}, Sex:{1}, Location: {2}", usr.Name, usr.Sex, usr.CurrentLocation.City);
        Response.Write(t);

Designers need a solid foundation that gives us almost everything a typical website would require but is flexible enough for customization. Thanks to hundreds of hours spent by some developers and companies, we now have dozens of CSS Frameworks to choose from. Among all the available CSS frameworks out there, Bootstrap is my favorite and also one of the most widely used.

Bootstrap is the new technology that is integrated with the ASP.NET web project templates. It is builtin with the projects that provides responsive design and theming capabilities. Bootstrap is a sleek and powerful front-end framework for faster web development. The project templates based on bootstrap technology provides attractive themes for the web development. Bootstrap is front-end framework for easy and faster web development. This post explains how to use Bootstrap in  ASP.NET applications and outlines some of the features of this framework. Create a new ASP.NET project in Visual Studio 2013 and execute it then you will see the look and feel of the page as below.

If you want to get the above look without using Bootstrap then you have to write lot of custom CSS. Now all ASP.NET default templates like MVC, Web forms, Single Page applications and Web API are using Bootstrap framework. Bootstrap version 3 is integrated in Visual Studio 2013. The above screen scales well on different devices. If you look at the CSS code to achieve is very few lines as shown below

In order to get the Bootstrap into your project, go to Manage NuGet packages window and type Bootstrap in search box then you will find the package

Once you install the package then it brings the following files into your project, All the CSS and JavaScript files related Bootstrap framework are bundled for you to get you better performance.

Another integration feature for Bootstrap is Bootswatch, which helps you to theme your site.
