ASP.NET Hosting - ASPHostPortal :: Tips Diagnostic And Performance Monitoring in .Net

clock January 8, 2015 06:42 by author Mark

Diagnostic And Performance Monitoring in .Net

In this article we will have a look at what is newer in .Net to help determine the problem area or scope for improvements in your program.
There are a number of tools and utilities available to monitor and tune your .Net application's performance. The .Net framework itself provides a very good infrastructure for performance monitoring and analysis.
Allows the user to monitor application domain level Memory and Processor usage statistics. Previous to .Net we had limited APIs available, which can provide support for reading only the Process level memory usage and CPU usage information. In .net you have access to Processor and Memory usage estimates for a given application domain.

The application domain based resource monitoring feature is available in:

  • Hosting APIs and
  • Event Tracing for Windows(ETW).

By default, application domain level resource monitoring is disabled. This feature has to be enabled in a process to get application domain level resouce consumption details within that process.
The AppDomain class has been enhanced to provide support for this new feature. A process can enable this feature using the AppDomain class's static property MonitoringIsEnabled.

(bool) AppDomain.MonitoringIsEnabled

It is a boolean property. Once this property is enabled in the process, it stays active until the process exits. You can assign only the value 'true'; even though it is a boolean property, assigning the value 'false' to this property causes an Invalid Argument exception.
The AppDomain class provides the following properties to access the Appdomain's resource usage.

AppDomain.MonitoringSurvivedMemorySize

It is a readonly instance property. Provides the number of bytes which is currently allocated by the Appdomain in the managed heap. In other words this property provides the size of memory which is survived the last cycle of garbage collection. This property is updated only after a full, blocking collection occurred.

AppDomain.MonitoringSurvivedProcessMemorySize

It is a readonly static property, provides the number of bytes currently allocated by the current process in the managed heap memory. This an equivalent of GC.GetTotalMemory property.

AppDomain.MonitoringTotalAllocatedMemorySize

This is a readonly instance property. It returns the total size, in bytes, of all memory allocations that have been made by the application domain since it was created, without subtracting memory that has been collected.

AppDomain.MonitoringTotalProcessorTime

It is a readonly instance property. Returns the total processor time utilized by the application domain since the process started. The total time reported by this property includes the time each thread in the process spent executing in that application domain.
The excution time of unmanaged calls made by an application domain, is also counted for that application domain.
The sleeping time of a thread is not counted in association with the application domain's processor usage.

Using Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)

You can now access the ETW events for diagnostic purposes to improve performance.



ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: Enabling Unobtrusive Validation From Scratch in ASP.NET 4.5 Webforms

clock December 19, 2014 04:55 by author Ben

I used to be fiddling with ASP.NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012 particularly with all the new Validation attributes and i identified they function great, specially the new unobtrusive validation, then I attempted to permit this sort of validation over a new Vacant Net Software, and that i identified that this just isn't out-of-the-box, you'll need to create some configurations to your Net Application.

You'll find a few ways to allow the unobtrusive validation over a Internet Software:

Through the web.config file

<configuration> 
  <appsettings> 
   <add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="WebForms"> 
  </add></appsettings> 
 </configuration> 

Via the Global.asax file

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   ValidationSettings.UnobtrusiveValidationMode = UnobtrusiveValidationMode.None;
}

On each page:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   this.UnobtrusiveValidationMode = System.Web.UI.UnobtrusiveValidationMode.WebForms;
}

To disable the unobtrusive validation set the UnobtrusiveValidationMode property to None. Unobtrusive validation is actually enabled by default in ASP.Net 4.5.

We'll start with a simple example, create an Empty Web Application and add a MasterPage called Site.master and a content page for this master called Default.aspx.
Add the following code to the Default.aspx file:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt" />
    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ErrorMessage="txt is required" ControlToValidate="txt" runat="server" Text="*" Display="Dynamic" />
    <asp:Button Text="Send info" runat="server" />

If you try to run a simple ASPX page using a validator, the following exception will be thrown:

    "WebForms UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for 'jquery'. Please add a ScriptResourceMapping named jquery(case-sensitive)". Before fixing this, let's disable the unobtrusive validation to see the result.

On the page:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   this.UnobtrusiveValidationMode = System.Web.UI.UnobtrusiveValidationMode.None;
}

Now run the page and the validation will work as it used to work in ASP.Net 4.0 If you examine the rendered HTML, you will see that the gross inline script is rendered:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var Page_Validators =  new Array(document.getElementById("ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00"));
//]]>
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00 = document.all ? document.all["ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00"] : document.getElementById("ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00");
ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00.controltovalidate = "ContentPlaceHolder1_txt";
ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00.errormessage = "txt is required";
ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00.display = "Dynamic";
ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00.evaluationfunction = "RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid";
ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00.initialvalue = "";
//]]>
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

var Page_ValidationActive = false;
if (typeof(ValidatorOnLoad) == "function") {
    ValidatorOnLoad();
}

function ValidatorOnSubmit() {
    if (Page_ValidationActive) {
        return ValidatorCommonOnSubmit();
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}
       
document.getElementById('ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00').dispose = function() {
    Array.remove(Page_Validators, document.getElementById('ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00'));
}
//]]>
</script>

Now let's re-enable the unobtrusive validation. In order to fix the previous exception, we need to install the following Nuget packages: (I like to install jQuery first to get the latest version, although this is not required.)

  1. jQuery
  2. ASPNET.ScriptManager.jQuery
  3. Microsoft.AspNet.ScriptManager.MSAjax
  4. Microsoft.AspNet.ScriptManager.WebForms

At this point, if you run the application again, the exception will be gone =) how cool eh?. This is because the following Nuget packages automatically register the scripts needed with the ScriptManager control.

Let's examine the code added by these Nuget packages using ILSpy:

AspNet.ScriptManager.jQuery

public static class PreApplicationStartCode
    {
        public static void Start()
        {
            string str = "1.8.1";
            ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", new ScriptResourceDefinition
            {
                Path = "~/Scripts/jquery-" + str + ".min.js",
                DebugPath = "~/Scripts/jquery-" + str + ".js",
                CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-" + str + ".min.js",
                CdnDebugPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-" + str + ".js",
                CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true,
                LoadSuccessExpression = "window.jQuery"
            });
        }
    }

Microsoft.AspNet.ScriptManager.MSAjax

public static void Start()
{
    ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("MsAjaxBundle", new ScriptResourceDefinition
    {
        Path = "~/bundles/MsAjaxJs",
        CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.5/6/MsAjaxBundle.js",
        LoadSuccessExpression = "window.Sys",
        CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true
    });
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjax.js", "window.Sys && Sys._Application && Sys.Observer");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxCore.js", "window.Type && Sys.Observer");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxGlobalization.js", "window.Sys && Sys.CultureInfo");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxSerialization.js", "window.Sys && Sys.Serialization");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxComponentModel.js", "window.Sys && Sys.CommandEventArgs");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxNetwork.js", "window.Sys && Sys.Net && Sys.Net.WebRequestExecutor");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxHistory.js", "window.Sys && Sys.HistoryEventArgs");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxWebServices.js", "window.Sys && Sys.Net && Sys.Net.WebServiceProxy");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxTimer.js", "window.Sys && Sys.UI && Sys.UI._Timer");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js", "window.Sys && Sys.WebForms");
    PreApplicationStartCode.AddMsAjaxMapping("MicrosoftAjaxApplicationServices.js", "window.Sys && Sys.Services");
}
private static void AddMsAjaxMapping(string name, string loadSuccessExpression)
{
    ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition(name, new ScriptResourceDefinition
    {
        Path = "~/Scripts/WebForms/MsAjax/" + name,
        CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.5/6/" + name,
        LoadSuccessExpression = loadSuccessExpression,
        CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true
    });
}

Microsoft.AspNet.ScriptManager.WebForms

public static void Start()
{
    ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("WebFormsBundle", new ScriptResourceDefinition
    {
        Path = "~/bundles/WebFormsJs",
        CdnPath = "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.5/6/WebFormsBundle.js",
        LoadSuccessExpression = "window.WebForm_PostBackOptions",
        CdnSupportsSecureConnection = true
    });
}

As you can see these Nuget packages automatically register the scripts using the ScriptManager object (besides installing the required JavaScript files)

Run the application and examine the rendered HTML. You will note that it's much cleaner now, in this case the inline script has been moved to an external file that can be rendered using bundles to increase performance. The rendered script looks like:

<script src="Scripts/WebForms/MsAjax/MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.8.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Much better right?. Notice how ASP.Net used HTML5 custom attributes:

<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txt" type="text" id="ContentPlaceHolder1_txt" />
    <span data-val-controltovalidate="ContentPlaceHolder1_txt" data-val-errormessage="txt is required" data-val-display="Dynamic" id="ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00" data-val="true" data-val-evaluationfunction="RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid" data-val-initialvalue="" style="display:none;">*</span>
    <input type="submit" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ctl01" value="Send info" onclick="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions(&quot;ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ctl01&quot;, &quot;&quot;, true, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;, false, false))" />

The data-val-* are custom attributes used by the unobtrusive validation engine

If you click the button to trigger the validation you will be pleased to see that it works as expected...but we are not done yet =/

The settings we have applied won't work if you intend to use an UpdatePanel control (yeah the evil UpdatePanel again...). This is because this control requires a ScriptManager control on the page (or MasterPage) and we do not have any yet. So let's add a simple ScriptManager control to the master page and see what happens. Add the following code to the Site.master page right under the <form...

<asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptManager">
        </asp:ScriptManager>

Run the page again and fire the validation... oops... the client validation has gone =( We only have server validation. I'm not sure why this happens but my best guess is that the just added ScriptManager control is overriding our code settings.

To fix it, change the declaration of the ScriptManager control on the Site.master page to:

<asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptManager1">
        <Scripts>
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="MsAjaxBundle" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="jquery" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="WebForms.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/WebForms.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="WebUIValidation.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/WebUIValidation.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="MenuStandards.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/MenuStandards.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="GridView.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/GridView.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="DetailsView.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/DetailsView.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="TreeView.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/TreeView.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="WebParts.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/WebParts.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="Focus.js" Assembly="System.Web" Path="~/Scripts/WebForms/Focus.js" />
            <asp:ScriptReference Name="WebFormsBundle" />
        </Scripts>
    </asp:ScriptManager>

Run the application and our little example will work again as expected

Sadly these new settings are the equivalent to the settings added by code and we need to add them to be able to use the traditional Microsoft AJAX controls.

There's one last thing we need to configure, this is because there's actually a bug with the ValidationSummary control.

To test it, update the Default.aspx page as follows:

<asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary1" runat="server" />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt" />
    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ErrorMessage="txt is required" ControlToValidate="txt" runat="server" Text="*" Display="Dynamic" />
    <asp:Button Text="Send info" runat="server" />

Now run the page again, scroll down until you can see the button and click it... woot your page jumped to the top... the workaround to solve this little bug is to add the following code to the Site.master

<script>
            window.scrollTo = function () {

            };
        </script>

 



ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: How to use OnClick and OnClientClick events to Prevent Double Clicking on your ASP.Net Buttons

clock December 9, 2014 04:46 by author Dan

While ASP.NET gives a great validator set of controls, now and then you have to "move your own" so to talk when making your controls. What's more, on the off chance that you have some AJAX preparing with your buttons in the background (for instance, sparing a record in a popup window) you run the danger of having "twofold spares" happening when the client clicks on the button and nothing happens instantly.

Having battled with this issue myself recently, it took somewhat more work than expected to get this to work legitimately. Here's the manner by which you get everything to play pleasantly together.

The first step is to wire up your code behind occasion that does your handling. In case you're doing this in C# you setup your Onclick occasion:

<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="btnSave_Click" />

In case you're doing this in Vb.net, there's no compelling reason to utilize the Onclick value as a part of your button, you can go straight to the code behind, make your strategy name, and utilize the Handles pivotal word, pointing out your buttons click occasion:

Protected Void Sub btnSave_Click Handles btnSave.Click
' Code here
End Sub

The next step is to do our validation using Javascript (we’re using jQuery in here).

function validatePage()
{
    var check = true;

    // Check only simple textbox for now
    if ($("#txtImportant").val() == '') check = false;

    if (!check)
    {
       alert('Missing data. Please complete');
       return false;
    }
    else
    {
       $("#MainContent_btnSave").val('Processing...');
       $("#MainContent_btnSave").attr("disabled", true);
       return true;
    }
}

There are several vital notes to this capacity. The main is not to overlook that Asp.net as a matter of course likes to help particularly name your server controls, subsequently the "Maincontent_" prefix on our spare button. You can utilize the Clientidmode property in the event that you have to get around this. The following is that we keep the client from twofold clicking the spare catch by handicapping the catch and transforming its content to say "Handling… " Finally, we just debilitate the button if the acceptance succeeds. This keeps us from needing to handicap and re-empower the button focused around the results. Strangely it likewise verifies that our return value in the HTML component forms accurately, which was likely one of the greatest glitches I ran crosswise over amid this process.

Presently we have to wire up the Javascript handling. To do this, we utilize the Onclientclick technique that is accessible for most .Net server controls. While taking a gander at our code above looks clear enough (return false to prematurely end the script or valid to proceed with the post back) we do need to change our rationale somewhat. Having a "return genuine" explanation doesn't let the button proceed with its post back, it will make it quit handling (very nearly the same as a return false summon). Rather, we let our rationale just prematurely end if our acceptance fizzled:

<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server"
            Text="Save"
            OnClick="btnSave_Click"
            OnClientClick="if (!validatePage()) {return false;}" />

At long last, following we're overriding the HTML onclick occasion on the control (on account of the Oncilentclick property) that regardless of the possibility that your acceptance strategy succeeds, the code behind system won't shoot. To work around this, we utilize the Usesubmitbehavior property of the button control and set it to false. What this does is attaches the suitable __dopostback call after our Javascript code. The last code for your button resembles this:

<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server"
            Text="Save"
            OnClick="btnSave_Click"
            OnClientClick="if (!validatePage()) {return false;}"
            UseSubmitBehavior="false" />

That is all there is to it. Presently when you click on the button, if the acceptance falls flat, you'll get the caution box. Something else, the button will get to be crippled with a "handling" message and your code behind strategy will run.



ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: Uploading Several Data files Employing jQuery and Generic Handler in ASP.NET 4.5

clock December 5, 2014 09:11 by author Ben

This post describes the best way to upload numerous data files in ASP.NET Kinds using the jQuery and Generic Handler. Generally builders utilize the FileUpload Server management to add data files from the client device for the server that's rendered as as an Enter factor and set to file and helps you to pick out the file or various information. We can easily make use of the jQuery to help make an Ajax connect with towards the server and Submit the many picked documents for the Generic Handler as opposed to an entire webpage postback.

 


On this short article for creating the application, I am utilizing Visual Studio 2013 that has the framework 4.5.1. So, let us start with all the following course of action.

Creating WebForms

Step 1: Open Visual Studio and create the ASP.NET Web Application.

Step 2: Select the WebForms project template to proceed.

Visual Studio automatically creates the project and adds files and folders to the project by default.

Creating WebForm


Step 1: Just right-click on the project and add a new folder named "UploadedFiles".


Step 2: Just right-click on the project and add a new Web Form and replace the body content from the following content:

<form id="form1" runat="server">

    <h2>ASP.NET</h2>
    <p class="lead">Selcting Multiple Files using jQuery and Generic Handler</p>  

 

    <div class="form-group">
        <div>
            <asp:Label runat="server" AssociatedControlID="MultipleFilesUpload">Select Files</asp:Label>           
            <asp:FileUpload ID="MultipleFilesUpload" runat="server" AllowMultiple="true" />          

        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
            <asp:Button runat="server" ID="BtnUpload" Text="Upload Files" CssClass="btn btn-default" />
        </div>
    </div>  
 </form>


In the code above, I used the AllowMultiple property of FileUpload that is set to true. It is one of the HTML 5 features used in here.

Step 2: Now in the <head> section add the following code:

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>

<link href="Content/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<link href="Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#BtnUpload").click(function (event) {
            var uploadfiles = $("#MultipleFilesUpload").get(0);
            var uploadedfiles = uploadfiles.files;
            var fromdata = new FormData();
            for (var i = 0; i < uploadedfiles.length; i++) {
                fromdata.append(uploadedfiles[i].name, uploadedfiles[i]);
            }
             var choice = {};
            choice.url = "UploadHandler.ashx";
            choice.type = "POST";
            choice.data = fromdata;
            choice.contentType = false;
            choice.processData = false;
            choice.success = function (result) { alert(result); };
            choice.error = function (err) { alert(err.statusText); };
            $.ajax(choice);
            event.preventDefault();
        });
    });
</script>

Via the code over, the data files are chosen inside the file upload handle working with the information residence of the DOM factor. the loop iterates by means of many of the information then calls the append() method of the FormData to incorporate the data files into the FormData item.

Now, the info is usually to be sent into the server. The £.ajax() is employed to transfer the information. The choice item supplies numerous options such as focus on URL and HTTP process. Now we have set the URL home on the GenericHandler file named UploadHandler.ashx . We now have established the contentType and processData home to phony with which the jQuery will not likely URL encode the info while sending into the server. The achievements and mistake properties are utilised to display the messages as a result of an warn.

Creating Generic Handler

Step 1: Add the Generic Handler by right-clicking on the project named UploadHandler.


Step 2: Modify the code with the following code:

namespace UploadMultipleFilesApp
{
    public class UploadHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            if (context.Request.Files.Count > 0)
            {
                HttpFileCollection SelectedFiles = context.Request.Files;
                for (int i = 0; i < SelectedFiles.Count; i++)
                {
                    HttpPostedFile PostedFile = SelectedFiles[i];
                    string FileName = context.Server.MapPath("~/UploadedFiles/" + PostedFile.FileName);
                    PostedFile.SaveAs(FileName);                   
                }
            }
            else
            {
                context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
                context.Response.Write("Please Select Files");
            }
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            context.Response.Write("Files Uploaded Successfully!!");
        }
        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}

In this article we will see which the information which might be posted to your server and will be accessed using the Ask for object. Each individual element in the HttpFileCollection is of type HttpPostedFile. FileName property is utilized to receive the file identify of posted file and return it and also the similar name id used to conserve the file.

Run WebForm

Now run the webform and choose the files as shown below that the files are selected.


After clicking on Upload Files, the message is generated.


Summary

This article explained the best way to choose numerous information and add them utilizing jQuery and Generic Handler in ASP.NET Web Forms. Joyful Coding and thanks for looking at.

 



ASP.NET 4.5 HOSTING - ASPHostPortal :: How to Implement a Simple Captcha in C# .NET

clock December 1, 2014 06:07 by author Mark

Implement a simple captcha in C# .NET

  • Create a page with name “Captcha.aspx
  • Place the following html code in body part of the page

IMG height="30" alt="" src=BuildCaptcha.aspx width="80">
asp:TextBox runat="Server" ID="txtCaptcha">
    <asp:Button runat="Server" ID="btnSubmit"
     OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"
       Text="Submit" />
     On “btnSubmit_Click” place the following code
         if (Page.IsValid && (txtCaptcha.Text.ToString() ==
         Session["RandomStr"].ToString()))
           {
             Response.Write("Code verification Successful");
           }
    else
{
  Response.Write( "Please enter info correctly");
}

  • Include the following code in “BuildCaptcha.aspx"

Bitmap objBMP = new Bitmap(60, 20);
Graphics objGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(objBMP);
objGraphics.Clear(Color.Wheat);
objGraphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
  //' Configure font to use for text
      Font objFont = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Italic);
      string randomStr = "";
      char[] myArray = new char[5];
      int x;
   //That is to create the random # and add it to our string
     Random autoRand = new Random();
     for (x = 0; x < 5; x++)
{
  myArray[x] = System.Convert.ToChar(autoRand.Next(65,90));
  randomStr += (myArray[x].ToString());
}
     //This is to add the string to session, to be compared later
       Session.Add("RandomStr", randomStr);
    //' Write out the text
       objGraphics.DrawString(randomStr, objFont, Brushes.Red, 3, 3);
    //' Set the content type and return the image
  Response.ContentType = "image/GIF";
objBMP.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif);
objFont.Dispose();
objGraphics.Dispose();
objBMP.Dispose();

clock November 28, 2014 05:07 by author Ben

In earlier versions of ASP.NET (edition under ASP.NET 4.5), we didn't have any inbuilt functionality to add several files at the same time. ASP.NET FileUpload handle permits uploading just one file in a time. Alternate answers to add numerous files are third party controls like Telerik or Devexpress. We can also use various jQuery Plugin like Uploadify to attain comparable performance.


In ASP.NET 4.5, we can add multiple documents simultaneously making use of ASP.NET FileUpload control. In ASP.NET 4.5, FileUpload Control support HTML5 several attribute.

Under are the steps to add numerous information utilizing ASP.NET 4.5 :

  1. In Visual Studio 2012, In Visual Studio 2012, create a new website using .Net 4.5 framework.
  2. Add a new web form (for example FileUpload.aspx) in newly created website.
  3. In code-beside file of FileUpload.aspx, write following code for FileUpload Control:

<asp:fileupload AllowMultiple="true" id="MultipleFileUpload" runat="server">
</asp:fileupload>

In above code, I have set AllowMultiple property of FileUpload Control to true.

Add one button to upload multiple files using FileUpload Control on button click.

<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload" OnClick="btnUpload_Click" />

Write below code on button click event handler.

protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (MultipleFileUpload.HasFiles)
        {
            StringBuilder UploadedFileNames = new StringBuilder();

            foreach (HttpPostedFile uploadedFile in MultipleFileUpload.PostedFiles)
            {
                string FileName = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(Path.GetFileName(uploadedFile.FileName));
                uploadedFile.SaveAs(System.IO.Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Files/"), FileName));
                UploadedFileNames.AppendFormat("{0}<br />", FileName);
            }
            Response.Write("Uploaded Files are : <br/>" + UploadedFileNames);
        }
    }

On button click, I am checking for multiple files and saving those files into Files folder of web application.
Compile source code and run the website application.

 

I had selected five images to upload. Once I had clicked on Upload button, all five images were uploaded successfully in Files folder.

ASP.NET 4.5 HOSTING - ASPHostPortal :: How make Single Page CRUD Application (SPA) using ASP.NET Web API, MVC and Angular.js

clock November 17, 2014 07:41 by author Mark

How make Single Page CRUD Application (SPA) using ASP.NET Web API, MVC and Angular.js ??

A Single Page Application (SPA) is a web application that fits on a single web page. In this type of application, the server provides static HTML views, CSS and JavaScript and the application then loads data by making Ajax calls to the server. All subsequent views and navigation occurs without a postback to the server. This architecture provides a more fluid user experience just like a desktop application.
In this article, we will create a SPA using ASP.NET MVC, WEB API and Angular.js. Angular.js is a Model-View-* JavaScript based framework for developing SPA applications. Similarly ASP.NET Web API is a good fit for providing data for these type of applications.

  • First Download Hundreds of UI Controls for ASP.NET/MVC, WinForms - Free Trial
  • To create this application, you can use the free new Visual Studio Community 2013
  • Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2013 and create a new Empty MVC application. Name it as ‘MVC_Using_Angular’. In this MVC project,
  • Add a new Sql Server database with the name ‘Company.mdf’. In the database add a new EmployeeInfo table with the following script:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmployeeInfo] (
    [EmpNo]       INT          IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [EmpName]     VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
    [Salary]      DECIMAL (18) NOT NULL,
    [DeptName]    VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
    [Designation] VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([EmpNo] ASC)
);

  • Step 2: In the project, add Angular.js scripts using NuGet Package Manager. This will create a new ‘Scripts’ folder in the project, with Angular.js scripts in it.
  • Step 3: To create a model, right-click on the Models folder and add a new ADO.NET Entity Model with the name CompanyEDMX. Select the Database First approach. Select Company.mdf in the Wizard and then the EmployeeInfo table.
  • Step 4: In the Controllers folder, add a new WEB API 2 Controller with actions. Using Entity Framework, select the Model as EmployeeInfo and Context class as CompanyEntities. Name the API controller as EmployeeInfoAPIController. This will generate methods for performing GET, POST, PUT and DELETE operations.
  • Step 5: In the Controllers folder, add an empty MVC controller of the name EmployeeInfo Controller. This controller will have an ‘Index’ action method in it. To add a new Index View, right-click on the Index action method and add an Empty View without Model. In our SPA, we will use the Index.cshtml as a container for dynamically displaying all views. In the EmployeeInfo sub-folder of the Views folder, add an empty partial views for performing various operations. These views will have the following names:

ShowEmployees.cshtml - show all Employees.
AddEmployee.cshtml - allow to add new Employee.
EditEmployee.cshtml - allow to edit an Employee.
DeleteEmployee.cshtml - used to delete selected Employee.

  • Step 6: Open EmployeeInfo Controller and add the following Action Methods in it:

public ActionResult AddNewEmployee()
{
    return PartialView("AddEmployee");
}
public ActionResult ShowEmployees()
{
    return PartialView("ShowEmployees");
}
public ActionResult EditEmployee()
{
    return PartialView("EditEmployee");
}
public ActionResult DeleteEmployee()
{
    return PartialView("DeleteEmployee");
}

The above action methods returns Partial Views added in the Step 5.
Step 7: Now its’ time for us to add the necessary client-side logic for performing operations using WEB API. In the project, add a new folder of the name ‘MyScripts’. In this folder add a new JavaScript file of name ‘Module.js’.
var app = angular.module("ApplicationModule", ["ngRoute"]);


//The Factory used to define the value to
//Communicate and pass data across controllers
app.factory("ShareData", function () {
return { value: 0 }
});
//Defining Routing
app.config(['$routeProvider','$locationProvider', function ($routeProvider,$locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/showemployees',
{
    templateUrl: 'EmployeeInfo/ShowEmployees',
    controller: 'ShowEmployeesController'
});
$routeProvider.when('/addemployee',
{
    templateUrl: 'EmployeeInfo/AddNewEmployee',
    controller: 'AddEmployeeController'
});
$routeProvider.when("/editemployee",
{
    templateUrl: 'EmployeeInfo/EditEmployee',
    controller: 'EditEmployeeController'
});
$routeProvider.when('/deleteemployee',
{
    templateUrl: 'EmployeeInfo/DeleteEmployee',
    controller: 'DeleteEmployeeController'
});
$routeProvider.otherwise(
{
    redirectTo: '/'
});
// $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!')
}]);

  • The above code defines module of name ‘ApplicationModule’. The module defines factory of name ‘ShareData’, which is used to communicate and pass data across controllers. The module also defines routing expressions using $routeProvider.
  • Step 8: In this step, we will add an Angular Service to encapsulate call to WEB API for performing CRUD operations. The code is as follows:

app.service("SinglePageCRUDService", function ($http) {
//Function to Read All Employees
this.getEmployees = function () {
    return $http.get("/api/EmployeeInfoAPI");
};
//Fundction to Read Employee based upon id
this.getEmployee = function (id) {
    return $http.get("/api/EmployeeInfoAPI/" + id);
};
//Function to create new Employee
this.post = function (Employee) {
    var request = $http({
        method: "post",
        url: "/api/EmployeeInfoAPI",
        data: Employee
    });
    return request;
};
//Function  to Edit Employee based upon id
this.put = function (id,Employee) {
    var request = $http({
        method: "put",
        url: "/api/EmployeeInfoAPI/" + id,
        data: Employee
    });
    return request;
};
//Function to Delete Employee based upon id
this.delete = function (id) {
    var request = $http({
        method: "delete",
        url: "/api/EmployeeInfoAPI/" + id
    });
    return request;
};
});

The service has an $http dependency to perform HTTP GET, POST, PUT and DELETE operations.

  • Step 9: Now its time for us to add Angular controllers used for performing CRUD operations. We will add controllers to make call to the Angular service which we created in the Step 8.

ShowEmployeesController.js
//The controller has dependency upon the Service and ShareData
app.controller('ShowEmployeesController', function ($scope, $location, SinglePageCRUDService, ShareData) {
loadRecords();
//Function to Load all Employees Records. 
function loadRecords()
{
    var promiseGetEmployees = SinglePageCRUDService.getEmployees();
    promiseGetEmployees.then(function (pl) { $scope.Employees = pl.data },
          function (errorPl) {
              $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
          });
}
//Method to route to the addemployee
$scope.addEmployee = function () {
    $location.path("/addemployee");
}
//Method to route to the editEmployee
//The EmpNo passed to this method is further set to the ShareData.
//This value can then be used to communicate across the Controllers
$scope.editEmployee = function (EmpNo) {
    ShareData.value = EmpNo;
    $location.path("/editemployee");
}
//Method to route to the deleteEmployee
//The EmpNo passed to this method is further set to the ShareData.
//This value can then be used to communicate across the Controllers
$scope.deleteEmployee = function (EmpNo) {
    ShareData.value = EmpNo;
    $location.path("/deleteemployee");
}
});

The above controller is used to make call to SinglePageCRUDService using ‘loadRecords()’ function. This function make use of Promise object to manage asynchronous call to the service. The retrieved data is then saved in the $scope.Employees object, which is this then passed to the View. Functions addEmployee, editEmployee and deleteEmployee are used to Create, Edit and Delete employee respectively. $location is used to load the corresponding view based upon the route defined in the Module.
AddEmpController.js
app.controller('AddEmployeeController', function ($scope, SinglePageCRUDService) {
$scope.EmpNo = 0;
//The Save scope method used to define the Employee object and
//post the Employee information to the server by making call to the Service
$scope.save = function () {
    var Employee = {
        EmpNo: $scope.EmpNo,
        EmpName: $scope.EmpName,
        Salary: $scope.Salary,
        DeptName: $scope.DeptName,
        Designation: $scope.Designation
    };
    var promisePost = SinglePageCRUDService.post(Employee);
    promisePost.then(function (pl) {
        $scope.EmpNo = pl.data.EmpNo;
        alert("EmpNo " + pl.data.EmpNo);
    },
          function (errorPl) {
              $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
          });
};
});
The above ‘AddEmployeeController’, is dependent on the ‘SinglePageCRUDService’. The function ‘save’ makes call to the post() function service to post Employee object.
EditEmployeeController.js
app.controller("EditEmployeeController", function ($scope, $location,ShareData,SinglePageCRUDService) {
getEmployee();
function getEmployee() {
var promiseGetEmployee = SinglePageCRUDService.getEmployee(ShareData.value);
promiseGetEmployee.then(function (pl)
{
    $scope.Employee = pl.data;
},
      function (errorPl) {
          $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
      });
}
//The Save method used to make HTTP PUT call to the WEB API to update the record
$scope.save = function () {
var Employee = {
    EmpNo: $scope.Employee.EmpNo,
    EmpName: $scope.Employee.EmpName,
    Salary: $scope.Employee.Salary,
    DeptName: $scope.Employee.DeptName,
    Designation: $scope.Employee.Designation
};
var promisePutEmployee = SinglePageCRUDService.put($scope.Employee.EmpNo,Employee);
promisePutEmployee.then(function (pl)
{
    $location.path("/showemployee");
},
      function (errorPl) {
          $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
      });
};
});

The above ‘EditEmployeeController’ is dependent on the ‘SinglePageCRUDService’ and ‘ShareData’ factory. The function getEmployee(), makes call to the getEmployee() function of the service and passes the ShareData.value to it. This is the EmpNo passed from the editEmployee() function from the ShowEmployeesController.
The function save() is used to make call to the put() function of the service by passing EmpNo and the Employee object to complete an edit operation. Both the save() and getEmployee() functions make use of promise object to manage asynchronous calls to angular service.
DeleteEmployeeController.js
app.controller("DeleteEmployeeController", function ($scope, $location, ShareData, SinglePageCRUDService) {
getEmployee();
function getEmployee() {
    var promiseGetEmployee = SinglePageCRUDService.getEmployee(ShareData.value);
    promiseGetEmployee.then(function (pl) {
        $scope.Employee = pl.data;
    },
          function (errorPl) {
              $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
          });
}

//The delete method used to make HTTP DELETE call to the WEB API to update the record
$scope.delete = function () {
    var promiseDeleteEmployee = SinglePageCRUDService.delete(ShareData.value);
    promiseDeleteEmployee.then(function (pl) {
        $location.path("/showemployee");
    },
          function (errorPl) {
              $scope.error = 'failure loading Employee', errorPl;
          });
};
});

The above DeleteEmployeeController has a dependency on the SinglePageCRUDService and ShareData factory. The function getEmployee() makes a call to the getEmployee() function of the service and passes the ShareData.value to it. This is the EmpNo passed from the editEmployee() function from the ShowEmployeesController.
The function save() is used to make call to the delete() function of the service by passing EmpNo and Employee object to complete delete operation. Both the save() and getEmployee() functions make use of promise object to manage asynchronous calls to angular service.

  • Step 10: Now we need to manage our views for performing operations. We will design it as below:

Index.cshtml:
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<link href="~/Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<body ng-app="ApplicationModule">
    <div>
        <div>
            <div>
                <table>
                    <tr>
                        <td><a href="showemployees"> Show Employees </a></td>
                        <td><a href="addemployee"> Add Employee </a></td>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </div>
            <div>
                <div ng-view></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
@section scripts{
  <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/angular.js")"></script> 
  <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/angular-route.min.js")"></script> 
  <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/MyScripts/Module.js")"></script>
<script src="~/MyScripts/Services.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/MyScripts/ShowEmployeesController.js")"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/MyScripts/AddEmpController.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/MyScripts/EditEmployeeController.js")"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/MyScripts/DeleteEmployeeController.js")"></script> 
 }
In the above markup, <body> is bound with the ApplicationModule using ‘ng-app’ directive. The ‘ng-view’ will be used to show views which we will be loading dynamically. The Hyperlink elements define links for ‘showemployees’ and ‘addemployee’ route expressions to load corresponding views.
AddEmployee.cshtml
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "AddEmployee";
}
<h2>Add New Employee</h2>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpNo</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="EmpNo" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpName</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="EmpName" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Salary</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Salary" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>DeptName</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="DeptName" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Designation</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Designation" />  </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<input type="button" value="Save" ng-click="save()" />

The above view uses ‘ng-model’ directive to bind Employee properties with the <input> elements. This view will be loaded with the /addemployee route expression. This is defined in the Module.js. This expression in the URL loads the AddEmployeeController. This controller contains method to post employee details to save in the database.
EditEmployee.cshtml
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "EditEmployee";
}
<h2>EditEmployee</h2>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpNo</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Employee.EmpNo" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpName</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Employee.EmpName" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Salary</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Employee.Salary" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>DeptName</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Employee.DeptName" />  </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Designation</td>
        <td><input type="text" ng-model="Employee.Designation" />  </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<input type="button" value="Save" ng-click="save()" />
<div>{{error}}</div>

The above view is loaded for the /editemployee url. This is defined in the Module.js in the routing configuration and loads EditEmployeeController, which contains a method to fetch employees to be edited and update its values.
DeleteEmployee.cshtml
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "DeleteEmployee";
}
<h2>DeleteEmployee</h2>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpNo</td>
        <td>{{Employee.EmpNo}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>EmpName</td>
        <td>{{Employee.EmpName}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Salary</td>
        <td>{{Employee.Salary}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>DeptName</td>
        <td>{{Employee.DeptName}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Designation</td>
        <td>{{Employee.Designation}}</td>
    </tr>
</table>
<input type="button" value="Delete" ng-click="delete()" />

The above view is loaded for the /deleteemployee url. This is defined in the Module.js in the  routing configuration. This loads DeleteEmployeeController, which contains a method to fetch employee to be deleted and perform delete operations.

Running Application

Run the application the following View gets displayed

  • Click on ‘Show Employees’. The following result will be displayed with Employee details:
  • The URL used is http://Server/shoewmployees
  • Similarly click on the ‘Add Employee’ link and the following View will be displayed:
  • The URL is http://server/addemployee. Add the Employee details and click on the Save button, the EmpNo will be generated as follows:
  • Click on the ‘Show Employees’ link and the result will be as follows:
  • Click on the ‘Edit’ link of any row and the Edit View will be displayed:
  • The url will be http://Server/editemployee. Here we can update Employee details and click on save. After clicking on the Save we will be back to the first result (exactly the same when we ran the application) where the updated values can be verified. In a similar way, the delete functionality can also be tested.

Conclusion: SPA is the requirement of this new generation of web applications. It provides an easy interaction with WEB interfaces for users looking for a Desktop like experience on the Web. A mashup of client-server technologies like Angular.js and ASP.NET Web API helps you create enterprise ready SPA applications.

ASP.NET 4.5 HOSTING - ASPHostPortal.com :: A simple SPA with AngularJs, ASP.NET MVC, Web API and EF

clock November 14, 2014 06:41 by author Mark

Introduction

SPA stands for Single Page Application. Here I will demonstrate a simple SPA with ASP.NET MVC, Web API and Entity Framework. I will show a trainer profile and its CRUD operation using AngularJS, ASP.NET MVC, Web api and Entity Framework.

Step 1: Create a ASP.NET MVC application with empty template

  • Open visual studio, Got to File->New->Project
  • Select Template -> Visual C# -> Web -> ASP.NET MVC 4 Web application and click OK
  • Select Empty Template and Razor as view engine

Step 2: Install required packages

Run the following command in Package Manager Console (Tools->Library Package Manager->Package Manager Console) to install required package. Make sure your internet connection is enabled.

  • PM> Install-Package jQuery
  • PM> Install-Package angularjs -Version 1.2.26
  • PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
  • PM> Install-Package MvcScaffolding

Step 3: Create Connection String

Create connection string and name DB name as SPADB
    <connectionStrings>
  <add name="SPAContext" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=SPADB;Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

Step 4: Create model

Create Trainer model
    public class Trainer
{
    [Key, DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public long Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Venue { get; set; }
}

Step 5: Create Repository

Create repository for Trainer model.

Run the following command in Package Manager Console (Tools->Library Package Manager->Package Manager Console) to create repository. I used repository pattern for well-structured and more manageable.

PM> Scaffold Repository Trainer

After running the above command you will see SPAContext.cs and TrainerRepository.cs created in Model folder. For well manageability, I create a directory name Repository and put these two files in the Repository folder. So change the namespace as like SPA.Repository instead of SPA.Model. I also create a UnitOfWork for implement unit of work pattern.
The overall folder structure looks like following. 
SPAContext.cs
    public class SPAContext : DbContext
{
    public SPAContext()
        : base("SPAContext")
    {
    }
    // You can add custom code to this file. Changes will not be overwritten.
    //
    // If you want Entity Framework to drop and regenerate your database
    // automatically whenever you change your model schema, add the following
    // code to the Application_Start method in your Global.asax file.
    // Note: this will destroy and re-create your database with every model change.
    //
    // System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new System.Data.Entity.DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<SPA.Models.SPAContext>());
    public DbSet<SPA.Models.Trainer> Trainers { get; set; }
    public DbSet<SPA.Models.Training> Trainings { get; set; }
}

TrainerRepository.cs
    public class TrainerRepository : ITrainerRepository
{
    SPAContext context = new SPAContext();
    public TrainerRepository()
        : this(new SPAContext())
    {
    }
    public TrainerRepository(SPAContext context)
    {
        this.context = context;
    }
    public IQueryable<Trainer> All
    {
        get { return context.Trainers; }
    }
    public IQueryable<Trainer> AllIncluding(params Expression<Func<Trainer, object>>[] includeProperties)
    {
        IQueryable<Trainer> query = context.Trainers;
        foreach (var includeProperty in includeProperties)
        {
            query = query.Include(includeProperty);
        }
        return query;
    }
    public Trainer Find(long id)
    {
        return context.Trainers.Find(id);
    }
    public void InsertOrUpdate(Trainer trainer)
    {
        if (trainer.Id == default(long))
        {
            // New entity
            context.Trainers.Add(trainer);
        }
        else
        {
            // Existing entity
            context.Entry(trainer).State = System.Data.Entity.EntityState.Modified;
        }
    }
    public void Delete(long id)
    {
        var trainer = context.Trainers.Find(id);
        context.Trainers.Remove(trainer);
    }
    public void Save()
    {
        context.SaveChanges();
    }
    public void Dispose()
    {
        context.Dispose();
    }
}
public interface ITrainerRepository : IDisposable
{
    IQueryable<Trainer> All { get; }
    IQueryable<Trainer> AllIncluding(params Expression<Func<Trainer, object>>[] includeProperties);
    Trainer Find(long id);
    void InsertOrUpdate(Trainer trainer);
    void Delete(long id);
    void Save();
}

UnitOfWork.cs
public class UnitOfWork : IDisposable
{
    private SPAContext context;
    public UnitOfWork()
    {
        context = new SPAContext();
    }
    public UnitOfWork(SPAContext _context)
    {
        this.context = _context;
    }
    private TrainingRepository _trainingRepository;
 
    public TrainingRepository TrainingRepository
    {
        get
        {
            if (this._trainingRepository == null)
            {
                this._trainingRepository = new TrainingRepository(context);
            }
            return _trainingRepository;
        }
    }
    private TrainerRepository _trainerRepository;
    public TrainerRepository TrainerRepository
    {
        get
        {
            if (this._trainerRepository == null)
            {
                this._trainerRepository = new TrainerRepository(context);
            }
            return _trainerRepository;
        }
    }
    public void Dispose()
    {
        context.Dispose();
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }
}

Step 6: Add migration

  • Run the following command to add migration
  • PM> Enable-Migrations
  • PM> Add-Migration initialmigration
  • PM> Update-Database –Verbose

Step 7: Create API Controllers

Create Trainers api Controllers by clicking right button on Controller folder and scaffold as follows.

Step 8: Modify Controllers

Now modify the controllers as follows. Here I used unit of work pattern.
    public class TrainersController : ApiController
{
    private UnitOfWork unitOfWork = new UnitOfWork();
    public IEnumerable<Trainer> Get()
    {
        List<Trainer> lstTrainer = new List<Trainer>();
        lstTrainer = unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.All.ToList();
        return lstTrainer;
    }
    //// GET api/trainers/5
    public Trainer Get(int id)
    {
        Trainer objTrainer = unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Find(id);
        return objTrainer;
    }
    public HttpResponseMessage Post(Trainer trainer)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.InsertOrUpdate(trainer);
            unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Save();
            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        }
        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
    }
    private IEnumerable<string> GetErrorMessages()
    {
        return ModelState.Values.SelectMany(x => x.Errors.Select(e => e.ErrorMessage));
    }
    // PUT api/trainers/5
    public HttpResponseMessage Put(int Id, Trainer trainer)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.InsertOrUpdate(trainer);
            unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Save();
            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        }
        else
            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
    }
    // DELETE api/trainers/5
    public HttpResponseMessage Delete(int id)
    {
        Trainer objTrainer = unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Find(id);
        if (objTrainer == null)
        {
            return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
        }
        unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Delete(id);
        unitOfWork.TrainerRepository.Save();
        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
}

Step 9: Create Layout and Home Controller

Create _Layout.cshtml in Views->Shared folder and create HomeController and create inext view of Home controller by right click on index action and add view. You will see index.cshtml is created in Views->Home
Home Controller
    public class HomeController : Controller
{
    //
    // GET: /Home/
 
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

_Layout.cshtml
    <html ng-app="registrationModule">
<head>
    <title>Training Registration</title>
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
Index.cshtml
    @{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Home</h2>
<div>
    <ul>     
        <li><a href="/Registration/Trainers">Trainer Details</a></li>
        <li><a href="/Registration/Trainers/add">Add New Trainer</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
<div ng-view></div>

Step 10: Create registrationModule

Create registrationModule.js in Scripts->Application. This is for angularjs routing.
    var registrationModule = angular.module("registrationModule", ['ngRoute', 'ngResource'])
    .config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
        $routeProvider.when('/Registration/Trainers', {
            templateUrl: '/templates/trainers/all.html',
            controller: 'listTrainersController'
        });
        $routeProvider.when('/Registration/Trainers/:id', {
            templateUrl: '/templates/trainers/edit.html',
            controller: 'editTrainersController'
        });
        $routeProvider.when('/Registration/Trainers/add', {
            templateUrl: '/templates/trainers/add.html',
            controller: 'addTrainersController'
        });
        $routeProvider.when("/Registration/Trainers/delete/:id", {
            controller: "deleteTrainersController",
            templateUrl: "/templates/trainers/delete.html"
        });
        $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
    });

Step 11: Create trainerRepository

Create trainerRepository.js in Scripts->Application->Repository. This increase manageability for large application.
    'use strict';
//Repository for trainer information
registrationModule.factory('trainerRepository', function ($resource) {
    return {
        get: function () {
            return $resource('/api/Trainers').query();
        },
        getById: function (id) {
            return $resource('/api/Trainers/:Id', { Id: id }).get();
        },
        save: function (trainer) {
            return $resource('/api/Trainers').save(trainer);
        },
        put: function (trainer) {
            return $resource('/api/Trainers', { Id: trainer.id },
                {
                    update: { method: 'PUT' }
                }).update(trainer);
        },
        remove: function (id) {
            return $resource('/api/Trainers').remove({ Id: id });
        }
    };
});

Step 12: Create trainerController

Create trainerController.js in Scripts->Application->Controllers
    'use strict';
//Controller to get list of trainers informaion
registrationModule.controller("listTrainersController", function ($scope, trainerRepository, $location) {
    $scope.trainers = trainerRepository.get();
});
//Controller to save trainer information
registrationModule.controller("addTrainersController", function ($scope, trainerRepository, $location) {
    $scope.save = function (trainer) {
        trainer.Id = 0;
        $scope.errors = [];
        trainerRepository.save(trainer).$promise.then(
            function () { $location.url('Registration/Trainers'); },
            function (response) { $scope.errors = response.data; });
    };
});

//Controller to modify trainer information
registrationModule.controller("editTrainersController", function ($scope,$routeParams, trainerRepository, $location) {
    $scope.trainer = trainerRepository.getById($routeParams.id);
    $scope.update = function (trainer) {
        $scope.errors = [];
        trainerRepository.put(trainer).$promise.then(
            function () { $location.url('Registration/Trainers'); },
            function (response) { $scope.errors = response.data; });
    };
});
//Controller to delete trainer information
registrationModule.controller("deleteTrainersController", function ($scope, $routeParams, trainerRepository, $location) {
        trainerRepository.remove($routeParams.id).$promise.then(
            function () { $location.url('Registration/Trainers'); },
            function (response) { $scope.errors = response.data; });
});

Step 13: Create templates

Create all.html, add.html, edit.html, delete.html in templateds->trainers folder.
All.html
    <div>
    <div>
        <h2>Trainers Details</h2>
    </div>
</div>
<div>
    <div>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <th>Name </th>
                <th>Email </th>
                <th>Venue </th>
                <th>Action</th>
            </tr>
            <tr ng-repeat="trainer in trainers">
                <td>{{trainer.name}}</td>
                <td>{{trainer.email}}</td>
                <td>{{trainer.venue}}</td>
                <td>
                    <a title="Delete" ng-href="/Registration/Trainers/delete/{{trainer.id}}">Delete</a>
                    |<a title="Edit" ng-href="/Registration/Trainers/{{trainer.id}}">Edit</a>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
</div>

Add.html
    <form name="trainerForm" novalidate ng-submit="save(trainer)">
    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Trainer Name
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input name="name" type="text" ng-model="trainer.name" required ng-minlength="5" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Email
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input name="email" type="text" ng-model="trainer.email" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Venue
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input name="venue" type="text" ng-model="trainer.venue" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="width30"></td>
                <td>
                    <input type="submit" value="Save" ng-disabled="trainerForm.$invalid" />
                    <a href="/Registration/Trainers" class="btn btn-inverse">Cancel</a>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</form>
Edit.html
    <form name="trainerFrom" novalidate abide>
    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <input name="id" type="hidden" ng-model="trainer.id"/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Name
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input name="name" type="text" ng-model="trainer.name" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Email
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input name="email" type="text" ng-model="trainer.email" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Venue
                </td>
                <td>
                    <textarea name="venue" ng-model="trainer.venue"></textarea>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="width30"></td>
                <td>
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="update(trainer)" ng-disabled="trainerFrom.$invalid">Update</button>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</form>

Step 14: Add references to the Layout

Modify the _Layout.cshtml to add references
_Layout.cshtml
    <html ng-app="registrationModule">
<head>
    <title>Training Registration</title>
    <script src="~/Scripts/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/angular-route.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/Application/registrationModule.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/Application/Repository/trainerRepository.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/Application/Controllers/trainersController.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()
</body>
</html>

Now run you application and add, delete, modify and get all trainer information. Thanks for your patient! Laughing



ASP.NET 4.5.1 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Increase The Overall Performance of ASP.NET 4.5.1 in your App

clock October 1, 2014 07:23 by author Ben

ASP.NET is really a framework for creating net applications created by Microsoft. Initially the technologies. NET is the successor of ASP which is also a computer software product from Microsoft. With .NET ASP gives a platform for developers to design and create dynamic websites and net portals.



You will find certain items that ought to be regarded as when improving the performance from the application in developing a net application. Here are a few of the tips to improve the performance of ASP.NET 4.5.1:

Turn off Session State
Disable session state if you do not need, as this can improve the all round efficiency. By default the session state is always active. However, you'll be able to disable session state for any specific pages.

Turn off Tracing
If tracing is enabled, tracing will add a whole lot of overhead in producing applications. Though tracing is actually a useful function inside the development because it enables developers to track and trace application sequence, tracing may be turned off, unless you want to monitor the trace logging.

Avoid Page Validation Server (Steer clear of Server-side Validation)
Within this case, must be attempted use of client-side validation, not the server side. Server-side validation will consume a lot of sources around the server which can have an effect on application efficiency.

Stay away from Exceptions (Avoid Exceptions)
Exceptions may be 1 of the biggest resource eater which resulted within the lower of web applications and windows applications. Therefore, it is much better to prevent the use and handling of exceptions which can be not beneficial.

Avoid frequent connections for the database (Steer clear of Frequent Calls to Database)
Connections are frequently made for the database can devote time response and resources (resources). This can be avoided by utilizing batch processing. Producing the minimum database connection as a connection is opened and not closed, may cause efficiency slowdown.

Stay away from utilizing Recursive Functions and Nested Loops
To improve application performance, attempt to always steer clear of utilizing nested loops and recursive functions simply because these functions consume a whole lot of memory.

Turn off the View State

In ASP.NET, the default view state will probably be active and will slow down the website. So if you don't use a kind postback, it's much better to disable view state.

Use Caching
Web page caching could be employed to get a particular period of time and towards the required duration will not visit the server and are served from the cache. In the case of static internet pages and dynamic, Partial Caching [Fragment Caching] may be utilized to break into a couple of pages a user control.

We’re a company that works differently to most. Value is what we output and help our customers achieve, not how much money we put in the bank. It’s not because we are altruistic. It’s based on an even simpler principle. "Do good things, and good things will come to you".

Success for us is something that is continually experienced, not something that is reached. For us it is all about the experience – more than the journey. Life is a continual experience. We see the Internet as being an incredible amplifier to the experience of life for all of us. It can help humanity come together to explode in knowledge exploration and discussion. It is continual enlightenment of new ideas, experiences, and passions
