ASP.NET Cloud Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com:: How to Encrypt and Decrypt Password Using ASP.NET

clock April 11, 2014 12:40 by author Ben

Encryption is the process of translating plain text data into something that appears to be random and meaningless. Decryption is the process of translating random and meaningless data to plain text. Why we need to use this Encryption and decryption processes. By using this process we can hide original data and display some junk data based on this we can provide some security for our data. Here I will explain how to encrypt data and how to save that data into database after that I will show how to decrypt that encrypted data in database and how we can display that decrypted data on form. I have a form with four fileds username, password, firstname, lastname here I am encrypting password data and saving that data into database after that I am getting from database and decrypting the encrypted password data and displaying that data using gridview.

 


Please write this syntax code :


After that add System.Text namespace in code behind because in this namespace contains classes representing ASCII and Unicode character encodings. After that add following code in code behind and design one table in database with four fields and give name as "SampleUserdetails".

private const string strconneciton = "Data Source=MYCBJ017550027;Initial Catalog=MySamplesDB;Integrated Security=True";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strconneciton);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindencryptedData();
BindDecryptedData();
}
}
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strpassword = Encryptdata(txtPassword.Text);
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into SampleUserdetails(UserName,Password,FirstName,LastName) values('" + txtname.Text + "','" + strpassword + "','" + txtfname.Text + "','" + txtlname.Text + "')", con);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
BindencryptedData();
BindDecryptedData();
}
protected void BindencryptedData()
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from SampleUserdetails", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
gvUsers.DataSource = ds;
gvUsers.DataBind();
con.Close();
}
protected void BindDecryptedData()
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from SampleUserdetails", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
gvdecryption.DataSource = ds;
gvdecryption.DataBind();
con.Close();
}
private string Encryptdata(string password)
{
string strmsg = string.Empty;
byte[] encode = new byte[password.Length];
encode = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password);
strmsg = Convert.ToBase64String(encode);
return strmsg;
}
private string Decryptdata(string encryptpwd)
{
string decryptpwd = string.Empty;
UTF8Encoding encodepwd = new UTF8Encoding();
Decoder Decode = encodepwd.GetDecoder();
byte[] todecode_byte = Convert.FromBase64String(encryptpwd);
int charCount = Decode.GetCharCount(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length);
char[] decoded_char = new char[charCount];
Decode.GetChars(todecode_byte, 0, todecode_byte.Length, decoded_char, 0);
decryptpwd = new String(decoded_char);
return decryptpwd;
}
protected void gvdecryption_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string decryptpassword = e.Row.Cells[2].Text;
e.Row.Cells[2].Text = Decryptdata(decryptpassword);
}
}

And the result

ASP.NET 4.5.1 Windows Cloud Hosting - With ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Transferring User Accounts from ASP.NET to MojoPortal

clock April 10, 2014 08:24 by author Kenny

MojoPortal is a free and open source content management system that allows you to maintain your Web site with no HTML coding knowledge. When you need to build a web application you usually have some business functionality in mind but there is always a certain amount of web plumbing that needs to be implemented for things like navigation, authentication of users, security and roles and other things that are needed to support most kinds of business application logic. Sometimes we need to transfer user accounts from existing ASP.NET membership based sites into MojoPortal. So, in this article i will explain about how to transferring user accounts from ASP.NET to MojoPortal.

For the first step, you must set MojoPortal to use plain text passwords.
And then, create a folder on your PC to contain the scripts > in this folder create the following .bat files:

CreateMojoUserTablesXMLFormats.bat

set login=-U [Username] -P [Password] -S [SQL Server Instance]
set database=[Databasename].[Schema].
set switches= -c -x
set formatDir=[Full path to formats directory with trailing slash]
bcp %database%mp_Users format nul %login% %switches% -f

bcp %database%mp_UserProperties format nul %login% %switches% -f
%formatDir%mojoUserProperties.xml
bcp %database%mp_userRoles format nul %login% %switches% -f
%formatDir%mp_userRoles.xml


ExportASPNETUserData.bat

set login=-U [Username] -P [Password] -S [SQL Server Instance]
set dataDir=[Full path to data directory with trailing slash]
set database=[Databasename].[Schema].
set switches= -k –c
bcp "SELECT 0 AS UserID, 1 AS SiteID, aspnet_Users.Username AS Name,
aspnet_Users.UserName AS LoginName, COALESCE

output/usersOutput.txt
bcp "select RoleName,UserId from %database%aspnet_Roles INNER JOIN

UNION ALL
SELECT newid() AS PropertyID, UserId AS userGUID, [String to use as

ImportMojoPortalUserData.bat

set login=-U [Username] -P [Password] -S [SQL Server Instance]
set database=[Databasename].[Schema].
set dataDir=[Full path to data directory with trailing slash]

set switches= -k -R

set formatDir=[Full path to outputs directory with trailing slash]

bcp %database%mp_users IN %dataDir%lharUsers.txt %login% %switches% -f %formatDir%mojoUsers.xml -o output/importUsers.txt

bcp %database%mp_userProperties IN %dataDir%lharUserProfiles.txt %login% %switches% -f %formatDir%mojoUserProperties.xml -o output/importUserProperties.txt

bcp %database%mp_userRoles IN %dataDir%lharUsersRoles.txt %login% %switches% -f %formatDir%mp_userRoles.xml -o output/importUserRoles.txt


Next step is, create the following subdirectories in this folder: data, formats, output.
After create the CreateMojoUserTablesXMLFormats.bat file and the ExportASPNETUserData.bat file, run these program.
Don’t forget to check the output directory for any errors and check the data files have been created and contain the data you expect.
After that, run the ImportMojoPortalUserData.bat. Check the output directory for any errors and check the database tables have the data.
Switch MojoPortal back to using encrypted passwords and the last test a few logins.



ASP.NET Hosting Full Trust Mode

clock April 8, 2014 09:03 by author Diego

What’s ASP.NET shared hosting trust level?

You need to check many aspects before choosing a .Net hosting provider, those aspects should include .Net MVC framework, SQL Server, disk space, monthly bandwidth, hosting prices, but there’s one thing you may ignore really – “IIS Security Trust Level”.


If you’re not familiar with what’s asp.net shared hosting trust level, here I’d like to bring you a short introduction. The trust level is real important that could affect with your site secure and performance, and a full trust level means higher risk for hackers sneak into server to make destroy. Most of small .Net hosts only can give medium trust level on their servers. If your applications need to be run a full trust mode, then you’ve to look for a web host which can give full permission to you.


<system.web>
<securityPolicy>
<trustLevel name="High" policyFile="web_hightrust.config"/>
<trustLevel name="Medium" policyFile="web_mediumtrust.config"/>
<trustLevel name="Low" policyFile="web_lowtrust.config"/>
<trustLevel name="Minimal" policyFile="web_minimaltrust.config"/>
</securityPolicy>
</system.web>

You can see there are 4 trust levels for web hosts to pre-set by default – Minimal trust, Low trust, Medium trust and High / Full trust. High trust means higher risk for hackers to sneak into server, most of Windows hosting companies doesn’t allow their customers to run full trust level by default.
- Full Trust allows the users to do everything of application pool on one Windows web server. Some of applications cannot work properly under a medium trust web server, full trust means more flexible and you’re also able to change to medium trust once your application don’t need full trust.
- High Trust, websites are limited to call unmanaged code, e.g. Win32 APIs, COM interop.
- Medium Trust level websites are limited to access the file system and not so flexible as full trust level web server.
- Low Trust & Minimal Trust level are 2 options to restrict the users heavily, it won’t allow users to connect to server actively. At present, there’s no Windows hosts offering such asp.net shared hosting plan yet.


With more and more people and companies developing websites by Microsoft .NET technology, ASP.NET shared web hosting comes to be the major solution provided by many web hosting companies. Most of people choose an ASP.NET web host considering about .NET framework version, ASP.NET MVC support, SQL Server database, disk space or bandwidth but they usually ignore the most important feature “IIS security level”. That determines whether the ASP.NET websites can run successfully on the shared web host. In result to, if you developing an ASP.NET website that works well in the local development environment and attempt to run it in the ASP.NET shared web host, you may get the following exception.


System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.


This is caused by the security level of the ASP.NET shared web host that your application is forced to run with the limited permission, by locking down the access to server file system, preventing the background threads, or interacting with COM interfaces, etc.
Full Trust and Medium Trust are two widely used levels in ASP.NET shared web hosting. The full trust provides best flexibility but it has potential security issues to the shared server, especially when the web hosting provider doesn't have rich experience on setting up Windows permission and IIS. Compared to Full Trust, you have to review the website carefully before you go with a web host only supports Medium Trust Level. You can refer to the following checkpoints for the review.
-The website shall not call unmanaged APIs.

-The website shall not access to file system, system registry, event logs and anything else related to the system.
-The website shall not generate code for execution dynamically using Code DOM.

-The website shall not use XslTransform to transform something from XML using XSLT.

-The website has to be signed with a Strong Name.

Check with the web page from Microsoft about which namespaces and classes are not supported in Medium Trust environment.
And here is quick way to confirm the compatibility of websites to Medium Trust Level, in the local environment.

1. Add partially trusted callers attribute into AssemblyInfo.cs file of the website project, as following code snippet,
[assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers]

2.Add the following line into the web.config,
<trust level="Medium" />

Medium Trust or Full Trust level? UP to Your choice:
If your website can be working fine under medium trust level, I suggest you don’t need a full trust asp.net hosting, most of popular .Net applications should be working fine under a medium trust level server, only when your application has to be run under a full trust level enviroment, then you can find an ASP.NET full trust hosting company.

Free Trial ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Resolve Unobtrusive validation on Your ASP.NET 4.5 Apps

clock April 4, 2014 08:36 by author Ben

Now, I want to tell you How to Resolve Unobtrusive validation on Your ASP.NET 4.5 Apps.

By default, ASP.NET 4.5 has changed the way validation works. On the surface, it works exactly the same as usual, but under the hood, now it uses by default a new kind of unobtrusive validation based in jQuery, instead of the previous default scripts.

Now, the client-side validation is made in a simpler way by using the jQuery validation plugin, and by decorating the different controls with “data-val” attributes, instead of polluting your page with a lot of validation scripts.

For example, this is the resulting HTML for a Requiredvalidator control when you are using the unobtrusive validation mode:


<span
id="RequiredFieldValidator1"
data-val-controltovalidate="TextBox1"
data-val-focusonerror="t"

data-val-errormessage="Required!"

data-val-display="Dynamic"
data-val="true"
data-val-evaluationfunction="RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid"

data-val-initialvalue=""
style="color:Red;display:none;">Required!</span>


Notice all those “data-val” attributes. By simply inspecting this code you can easily tell how this validation control is behaving. That’s great!

However, if you create a new Empty Web Application using Visual Studio 2012 or later and add a validation control to one page, when you run the app you’ll get this error screen:

 


“UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for jQuery”
You get this error because the validation scripts search for a script resource called “jquery”, and it’s not present in your app.

You have several options to make it work correctly:

1. Disable the unobtrusive validation on a per-page fashion.
This enables again the former validation system from previous ASP.NET Web Forms versions (up to v.4.0).
Doing this bay hand is tedious if you have more than one or two pages, but is easy. You just need to add this line to the Load event of your page:
   
Page.UnobtrusiveValidationMode = System.Web.UI.UnobtrusiveValidationMode.None;

2. Disable de unobtrusive validation for the whole app.
For achieving this you just need to add one line to our web.config file, under the app.settings node, like this:

<appSettings>
<add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />

</appSettings>


3. Add a ScriptResourceMapping for jQuery, as indicated in the error page.
For achieving this, first you need to download the latest version of jQuery. Download both available editions (the production and development one) and copy those .js files to a “scripts” folder in your app’s root folder.

Now we need to add the Global.asax file to your project. In the Application_Start event you need to define a new ScriptResourceMapping with the name “jquery”, so that the framework knows where to get the jQuery scripts.
This is the needed code in C#:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery",

                new ScriptResourceDefinition

                {

                    Path = "~/scripts/jquery-1.8.3.min.js",

                    DebugPath = "~/scripts/jquery-1.8.3.js",

                    CdnPath = "http://<a title="ajax" href="#">ajax</a>.aspnetcdn.com/<a title="ajax" href="#">ajax</a>/jQuery/jquery-1.8.3.min.js",

                    CdnDebugPath = "http://<a title="ajax" href="#">ajax</a>#"

                });

}

Don’t forget to include a:

using System.Web.UI;


at the beginning of the page.

 



Free Trial ASP.NET 4.5.1 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Send Bulk Email Using ASP.Net 4.5

clock April 3, 2014 12:14 by author Kenny

In this article I’m going to explain about how to send bulk email using ASP.Net 4.5. Bulk email software is software that is used to send email in large quantities. Bulk mail broadly refers to mail that is mailed and processed in bulk at reduced rates. The term does not denote any particular purpose for the mail; but in general usage is synonymous with "junk mail". This tutorial we will use ASP.NET Web Page for provide the user interface for your Web applications, Grid View for enables you to select, sort, and edit values of a data source in a table where each column represents a field and each row represents a record, HTML Email Templates and Gmail SMTP Mail Server.

Let’s start to try this tutorial, for the first step you must create a new project.
Click "File" -> "New" -> choose "Project..." and then select web "ASP .Net Web Forms Application". Name it as "Bulk Email".
And now let’s see in the Design page “Default.aspx” design the web page as in the following screen:

This is code for Design Source (Default.aspx):
Default.aspx.cs

<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true"

                <h2>Send Bulk email using asp.net</h2>
            </hgroup>
            <p>To learn more about ASP.NET
            </p>
        </div>
    </section>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content runat="server" ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">

clock March 25, 2014 09:11 by author Kenny

In this article, i'm going to explain about how to integrate a webcam into your web application using ASP.NET 4.5.1. A web camera can capture images at the server end and a web page can display them. It’s very simple for integrate a webcam and capture images in your website that using ASP.NET 4.5.1.

Before it, make sure that your device has Latest Flash player and Web camera.
Let's following these steps:

First, copy the “WebcamResources” into your new application.
After that, add the following code in to your Default.aspx page:
<object width="450" height="200"param name="movie1" value="WebcamResources/save_picture.swf"

embed src="WebcamResources/save_picture.swf" width="45
0"
height="200" >
</object>

This code will place your Flash object into your web page, used to capture the images from the web cam.
Add one more page there with the name ImageConversions.aspx.
Add the following code into ImageConversion.aspx at the page load event:
string str_Photo = Request.Form["image_Data"]; //Get the image from flash file
byte[] photo = Convert.FromBase64String(str_Photo);
FileStream f_s = new FileStream("C:\\capture.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
BinaryWriter b_r = new BinaryWriter(f_s);
b_r.Write(photo);
b_r.Flush();
b_r.Close();
f_s.Close();


The above code will convert the bytes to an image and will save the image in the c drive.

ASP.NET MVC 5 Hosting - with ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Rendering ASP.NET MVC 1.0, 2.0 RC, 3 and 4 Razor Views to String

clock March 14, 2014 07:44 by author Diego

The ASP.NET MVC Razor implementation is closely tied to ASP.NET and MVC and the View template (WebViewPage class) includes a few MVC-specific features as well as back references to the controller. In other words MVC Razor is designed with MVC in mind. With Razor, you can create a custom Razor Engine that can be used in any .NET environment. Razor is the best view engine available for MVC as its much cleaner and easy to write and read. This view engine is compatible with unit testing frameworks. In this article, I will demonstrate how you can render ASP.NET MVC Razor Views in ASP.Net MVC 1.0, 2.0 RC, 3 and 4 .
Basically, all you do is create a fake HttpContext for the view to render itself.  This is an extensions method of the HtmlHelper that processes a partial view through the default MVC view engine and then renders it to the response stream.

Thisworks on ASP.NET MVC 1.0 (changing Headers on the original HttpResponse doesn't throwthe "Server cannot set content type after HTTP headers have been sent"exception).
/// <summary>Renders a view to string.</summary>
public static string RenderViewToString(this Controller controller, string viewName, object viewData) {


Create memory writer.

var sb = new StringBuilder();
var memWriter = new StringWriter(sb);


Create fake http context to render the view.

    var fakeResponse = new HttpResponse(memWriter);
    var fakeContext = new HttpContext(HttpContext.Current.Request, fakeResponse);
    var fakeControllerContext = new ControllerContext(
        new HttpContextWrapper(fakeContext),
        controller.ControllerContext.RouteData,
        controller.ControllerContext.Controller);
    var oldContext = HttpContext.Current;
    HttpContext.Current = fakeContext;
  Use HtmlHelper to render partial view to fake context.
    var html = new HtmlHelper(new ViewContext(fakeControllerContext,
        new FakeView(), new ViewDataDictionary(), new TempDataDictionary()),
        new ViewPage());
    html.RenderPartial(viewName, viewData);
Restore context.
    HttpContext.Current = oldContext;  
    //Flush memory and return output
    memWriter.Flush();
    return sb.ToString();}
Fake IView implementation used to instantiate an HtmlHelper.
public class FakeView : IView {
    #region IView Members
    public void Render(ViewContext viewContext, System.IO.TextWriter writer) {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }    #endregion
}

In ASP.NET MVC 2.0 RC, the code changes a bit because we have to pass in the StringWriter used to write the view into the ViewContext:
Use HtmlHelper to render partial view to fake context.

//...
var html = new HtmlHelper(
    new ViewContext(fakeControllerContext, new FakeView(),
        new ViewDataDictionary(), new TempDataDictionary(), memWriter),
    new ViewPage());
html.RenderPartial(viewName, viewData);
//...

In MVC 3 you can used this code :
public static string RazorRender(Controller context, string DefaultAction)
{
string Cache = string.Empty;
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
System.IO.TextWriter tw = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);
RazorView view_ = new RazorView(context.ControllerContext, DefaultAction, null, false, null);
view_.Render(new ViewContext(context.ControllerContext, view_, new ViewDataDictionary(), new TempDataDictionary(), tw), tw);
Cache = sb.ToString();
return Cache;
}
public static string RenderRazorViewToString(string viewName, object model)
        {
ViewData.Model = model;
using (var sw = new StringWriter())
            {
var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, viewName);
var viewContext = new ViewContext(ControllerContext, viewResult.View, ViewData, TempData, sw);
viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
}
}
public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
        {
public static string RenderPartialToString(ControllerContext context, string partialViewName, ViewDataDictionary viewData, TempDataDictionary tempData)
            {
ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(context, partialViewName);
if (result.View != null)
                {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb))
                    {
using (HtmlTextWriter output = new HtmlTextWriter(sw))
                        {
ViewContext viewContext = new ViewContext(context, result.View, viewData, tempData, output);
result.View.Render(viewContext, output);
}
}
return sb.ToString();

}
return String.Empty;
            }
        }

This code worked in MVC 4 :
public string RenderRazorViewToString(string viewName, object model) {
    ViewData.Model = model;
    using (var sw = new StringWriter()) {
        var viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(ControllerContext, viewName);
        var viewContext = new ViewContext(ControllerContext, viewResult.View, ViewData, TempData, sw);
        viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);
        viewResult.ViewEngine.ReleaseView(ControllerContext, viewResult.View);
        return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
    }
}
