NumericUpDown is an ASP.NET AJAX extender that can be attached to an ASP.NET TextBox control to add "up" and "down" buttons that increment and decrement the value in the TextBox. The increment and decrement can be simple +1/-1 arithmetic, they can cycle through a provided list of values (like the months of the year), or they can call a Web Service to determine the next value. Page authors can also provide custom images to be used instead of the default up/down button graphics. In this article, I will show you step by step procedure, how to use a Up Down Extender

In ASP.NET using Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.

Step 1 : Open Visual Studio.

• Go to File->New->WebSite
• Select ASP.NET WebSite

Step 2 :

Under Visual Studio Installed Template-> Choose ASP.NET WEB SITE -> Choose File System from the location combo box -> Set the path by the browse button - > Choose the language from the Language ComboBox (Visual C# , Visual Basic , J #)

• Choose Visual C#

Step 3 :

Click on the OK Button.
This is the source code window :

Step 4 :
See here is a tab named Design in the bottom of this page. Click on this tab and you will see a blank web page where you can drag any control from the toolbox (which is in the left side of this window).

Step 5 :
Now drag some controls under the AJAX Extensions. First control you are going to drag and drop on the page is - Script Manager.

• first add a tag on the top of your source code window:
  <%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>
• Under the form tag,NumericUpDownExtender control
  

Step 6:

Now run the application by pressing ctrl +  F5.

Step 7 :

When you run the Up Down Extender will seem like this...

1. BotDetect CAPTCHA ASP.NET Configuration

BotDetect Captcha properties can be set in several different ways, depending on the type of value you are customizing.

2. BotDetect CAPTCHA Web.Config Configuration Section

BotDetect configuration options which apply to all Captcha instances within a particular ASP.NET application can be specified in the web.config file. This approach can be seen in the Captcha customization code sample coming with the BotDetect installation.

This configuration section first needs to be registered at the top of the web.config file:

<configuration>

  <configSections>

    <!-- Register the BotDetect configuration section -->

    <section name="botDetect" requirePermission="false"

      type="BotDetect.Configuration.BotDetectConfigurationSection,

        BotDetect" />

  </configSections>

You can then create the <botDetect> section just below the closing </configSections> element, and (for example) disable all audio Captcha sounds in the application by specifying:

<botDetect>

  <captchaSound enabled="false" />

</botDetect>

3. BotDetect CAPTCHA .aspx / Visual Studio Designer Instance Settings

When adding the BotDetect:Captcha control to the .aspx file defining your form (either by using the Visual Studio Designer or editing the source directly), you can specify various attributes in the element declaration. For example, the simplest way to specify Captcha image size is:

<BotDetect:Captcha ID="SampleCaptcha" runat="server" ImageSize="200, 50" />

However, it's not recommended to use this method to set all Captcha instance properties. Page source declarations are processed when the page is loaded, and since they have to be applied to Captcha images and sounds (which come as separate Http requests), they have to be saved in ASP.NET Session state. It's better not to take up Session space if it's not necessary.

4. BotDetect CAPTCHA Code-Behind Instance Settings

It's also possible to specify various Captcha object settings in your page code-behind code. For example, code type and length can be set in the Page_PreRender override:

protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

  // initial page setup

  if (!IsPostBack)

  {

    // Captcha code properties

    SampleCaptcha.CodeLength = 4;

    SampleCaptcha.CodeType = BotDetect.CodeType.Numeric;

}

The same caveat applies to this method as with .aspx settings: this code is executed when the form is loaded, but since Captcha images and sounds are loaded in separate Http requests (which don't result in this code being executed), all values set this way have to be saved in ASP.NET Session state. Since different visitors will use separate Sessions, the amount of state used is multiplied by the number of active visitors / Sessions, and it's better not to use a lot of it.

5. BotDetect CAPTCHA Event Handler Property Setting and Randomization

This is the recommended approach to Captcha instance property setting. It's the most complex method, since it requires setting up an event handler. But since this handler is going to be executed for all Captcha requests (including separate Captcha image and sound Http requests), there is no need to persist the values in ASP.NET Session state.

Randomizing Captcha properties significantly improves Captcha security, and it should always be performed in this event handler instead of Page_Load or Page_PreRender, because the Captcha control event is also fired for direct Captcha image and sound requests (which skip the page events since the page is never loaded) – for example when clicking the Captcha reload button repeatedly.

You can see this approach to BotDetect Captcha property setting implemented in the Captcha randomization code sample coming with the BotDetect installation.

First, a InitializedCaptchaControl event handler needs to be registered in the Page_Init override:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

  SampleCaptcha.InitializedCaptchaControl +=

    new EventHandler<InitializedCaptchaControlEventArgs>(

      SampleCaptcha_InitializedCaptchaControl);

}

Then, randomization rules can be declared in the event handler:

void SampleCaptcha_InitializedCaptchaControl(object sender,

  InitializedCaptchaControlEventArgs e)

{

  if (e.CaptchaId != SampleCaptcha.CaptchaId)

  {

    return;

  }

  CaptchaControl captcha = sender as CaptchaControl;

  // randomize code generation properties

  captcha.CodeStyle = CaptchaRandomization.GetRandomCodeStyle();

  captcha.CodeLength = CaptchaRandomization.GetRandomCodeLength(4, 5);

  captcha.ImageStyle = CaptchaRandomization.GetRandomImageStyle();

  captcha.SoundStyle = CaptchaRandomization.GetRandomSoundStyle();

}

The CaptchaRandomization helper allows easy randomization of Captcha parameters.

Here is the simple step to create a sign up/registration page in ASP.NET. Lets check this out :
1. Open the Microsoft Visual Studio
2. Select one New Asp.Net Web application
3. Open the Design Default.aspx page
4. Drag and Drop one DropDown list and button from the Tool box.
5. Add one new item( i.e., New Registration Page) for the Drop down list
6. Procedure for adding items : Right click on the DropDown List and select properties and select items and add NewRegistration in Text Field.
7. Change the properties of the Dropdown list
a.Kept AutopostBack = True;
b.select the SelectedIndexChanged Event for that..
8. Open the code page that is Default.aspx.cs and and create a method in SelectedIndexChanged event of dropdownlist

using System; 
using System.Collections; 
using System.Configuration; 
using System.Data; 
using System.Linq; 
using System.Web; 
using System.Web.Security; 
using System.Web.UI; 
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; 
using System.Web.UI.WebControls; 
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; 
using System.Xml.Linq; 
using System.Data.SqlClient; 
 
public partial class Dynamic_controls : System.Web.UI.Page 
{ 
    SqlConnection con; 
    SqlCommand com; 
  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {        
        
    } 
protected void ddlist_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        Createnewaccount();  
    } 

9. Create new methods for Different controls by using the main method(i.e., Createnewaccount)

private void Createnewaccount ()
         {
             CreateDynamicTextBoxes ();
             CreateDynamicTextBoxes1 ();
             CreateDynamicCheckBoxes ();
             CreateDynamicCheckBoxes1 ();
             CreateDynamicRadioButtons1 ();
             BindDropDownLists ();
         }

10. Create all types of dynamic controls

 protected void CreateDynamicTextBoxes ( )
        {
           
            int c = 1 ;
            TextBox [ ] textBoxArr = new TextBox [ c ] ;/ / array of textboxes
            for (int i = 0 ; i < c ; i + + )

            DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList ( ) ;
            ddl.ID = " ddlrank " ;
            ddl.DataSource = sqlDS ;
            ddl.DataTextField = " COUNTRY_NAME " ;
            ddl.DataValueField = " CountryID " ;
            PH_country.Controls.Add ( ddI ) ;
            foreach ( Control ctl in PH_country.Controls )
            {
                if ( ctl is DropDownList )
                {
                    ( ctl as DropDownList ) . DataBind ( ) ;
                }
            }
        }

            CheckBox [ ] chk = new CheckBox [ c ] ;
            for (int i = 0 ; i < c ; i + + )
            {
                chk [ i ] = new CheckBox ( ) ;
                chk [ i ] . ID = " chkhobbies1 " + i.ToString ( ) ;
                chk [ i ] . Text = " Current" ;
                chk [ i ] . AutoPostBack = false ;
                PH_trans.Controls.Add ( chk [ i ] ) ;
            }
        }
        protected void CreateDynamicRadioButtons ( )
        {
                Male = new RadioButton RadioButton ( ) ;
                Female = new RadioButton RadioButton ( ) ;
                male = new RadioButton ( ) ;
                female = new RadioButton ( ) ;
                male.Text = " Male " ;

        }
        protected void CreateDynamicPanel ( )
        {
           
            int c = 1 ;
            TextPanel panel = new Panel ( ) ;
            for (int i = 0 ; i < c ; i + + )
            {
                TextPanel.ID = " txtPanel " + i.ToString ( ) ;
                PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add ( TextPanel ) ;
            }
        }

11. Add the following code to store the data in database

protected void btn_submit_Click ( object sender , EventArgs e )
        {
            for (int i = 0 ; i < 1 ; i + + )
            {
                 
                txtvalue string = " txtBox " + i.ToString ( ) ;
                txtvalue1 string = " txtBox1 " + i.ToString ( ) ;
                ddlvalue string = " ddlrank " ;
                chkvalue string = " chkhobbies " ;
                chkvalue1 string = " chkhobbies1 " + i.ToString ( ) ;
                rbvalue string = " rblRow " ;
                 
                TextBox txt = ( TextBox ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( txtvalue ) ;
                TextBox txt1 = ( TextBox ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( txtvalue1 ) ;
                DropDownList Dddl = ( DropDownList ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( ddlvalue ) ;
                CheckBox Dchk = ( CheckBox ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( chkvalue ) ;
                CheckBox Dchk1 = ( CheckBox ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( chkvalue1 ) ;
                RadioButtonList Drd = ( RadioButtonList ) PlaceHolder1.FindControl ( rbvalue ) ;
                if ( txt ! = null )
                {
                    try
                    {
                        string strText = txt.Text ;
                        strText1 string = txt1.Text ;
                        strddl string = Dddl.SelectedItem.Text ;
                        strchk string = Dchk.Text ;
                        strchk1 string = Dchk1.Text ;
                        strrdb string = Drd.Text ;
                        / / Store value in database textbox Cell
                        con = new SqlConnection ( ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings [ " SAMPLE_2 " ] . ToString ( ) ) ;
                        con.Open ( ) ;
                        com = new SqlCommand ( " insert into Dynamic_Form ( UserName , LastName , DropdownlistValue , Chksavings , Chkcurrent , Radiovalue ) values ​​( ' " + strText + " ' , ' " + strText1 + " ' , ' " + strddl + " ' , ' " strchk + + " ' , ' " + strchk1 + " ' , ' " + strrdb + " ' ) " , con ) ;
                        com.ExecuteNonQuery ( ) ;
                        con.Close ( ) ;
                        lbl_error.Text = " Account Successfully Created " ;
                         
                    }
                    catch ( Exception ex )
                    {
                        throw ex ;
                        / / lbl_error.Text = " There is a problem while creating Account " ;
                         
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Now, run your program and see the result :

ASP.NET MVC 4 web application allows users to log in from an external provider, such as Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft or Google and then integrate into your web application. Some OAuth/OpenId providers like Facebook, Google allow to access email. This article explains how to save the email in your database.

Before implementing, first lets consider following points:
1. User name is different from Email.
2. Email might be different for different providers.
3. Email is optional(some external provider like twitter doesn’t allow to access email).

Getting Started:
1. Create a new ASP.NET MVC 4 --> Internet Application Project
2. Open App_Start --> AuthConfig.cs, uncomment the external services which you want to use and pass proper parameters. In this article, we will use Facebook,Twitter and Google providers.

OAuthWebSecurity.RegisterTwitterClient(
        consumerKey: "xxxx",
        consumerSecret: "xxxxxxxx");
    OAuthWebSecurity.RegisterFacebookClient(
        appId: "yyyy",
        appSecret: "yyyyyyyy");
    OAuthWebSecurity.RegisterGoogleClient();

3. In Account Model, add Email property in RegisterExternalLoginModel class:

public class RegisterExternalLoginModel
   {
       [Required]
       [Display(Name = "User name")]
       public string UserName { get; set; }
       public string ExternalLoginData { get; set; }
       public string Email { get; set; }
   }

4. To add Email field in OAuthMembership table, add following class:

[Table("webpages_OAuthMembership")]
   public class OAuthMembership
   {
       [Key, Column(Order = 0), StringLength(30)]
       public string Provider { get; set; }
       [Key, Column(Order = 1), StringLength(100)]
       public string ProviderUserId { get; set; }
       public int UserId { get; set; }
       [StringLength(100)]
       public string Email { get; set; }
   }

5. add OAuthMembership in Userscontext

public class UsersContext : DbContext
    {
        public UsersContext()
            : base("DefaultConnection")
        {
        }
        public DbSet<UserProfile> UserProfiles { get; set; }
        public DbSet<OAuthMembership> OAuthMemberships { get; set; }
    }

It will create the required structure in database when you run the application and open register page first time.

Controller Changes:
In AccountController, To set email from the external provider, replace the following lines in ExternalLoginCallback method :

// User is new, ask for their desired membership name
string loginData = OAuthWebSecurity.SerializeProviderUserId(result.Provider, result.ProviderUserId);
ViewBag.ProviderDisplayName = OAuthWebSecurity.GetOAuthClientData(result.Provider).DisplayName;ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View("ExternalLoginConfirmation", new RegisterExternalLoginModel { UserName = result.UserName, ExternalLoginData = loginData });

with the following lines:

// User is new, ask for their desired membership name
               string loginData = OAuthWebSecurity.SerializeProviderUserId(result.Provider, result.ProviderUserId);
               ViewBag.ProviderDisplayName = OAuthWebSecurity.GetOAuthClientData(result.Provider).DisplayName;
               ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
               var model = new RegisterExternalLoginModel { UserName = result.UserName, ExternalLoginData = loginData };
               switch (result.Provider) {
                   case "facebook":
                   case "google":
                       {
                           model.Email = result.UserName;
                           model.UserName = "";
                           break;
                       }
                   case "twitter":
                       {
                           model.Email = "";
                           model.UserName = result.UserName;
                           break;
                       }
                   default:
                       break;
               }
               return View("ExternalLoginConfirmation", model);

Facebook and Google provide email as user name, so email is assigned for these providers.

In ExternalLoginConfirmation view, add following Email in form:

@Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Email)

It will post Email also when form is submitted. In ExternalLoginConfirmation method, To save email for new user,replace the following lines:

// Insert name into the profile table
            db.UserProfiles.Add(new UserProfile { UserName = model.UserName });
            db.SaveChanges();
            OAuthWebSecurity.CreateOrUpdateAccount(provider, providerUserId, model.UserName);
            OAuthWebSecurity.Login(provider, providerUserId, createPersistentCookie: false);
            return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);

with these lines:

// Insert name into the profile table
                       user = new UserProfile { UserName = model.UserName };
                       db.UserProfiles.Add(user);
                       db.SaveChanges();
                       OAuthWebSecurity.CreateOrUpdateAccount(provider, providerUserId, model.UserName);                                           
                       if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Email)) {
                           var oauthItem = db.OAuthMemberships.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Provider == provider && x.ProviderUserId == providerUserId && x.UserId == user.UserId);
                           if (oauthItem != null) {
                               oauthItem.Email = model.Email;
                               db.SaveChanges();
                           }
                       }
                       OAuthWebSecurity.Login(provider, providerUserId, createPersistentCookie: false);
                       return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);

This will save email in database for new user. Now if same user wants to add other external provider then in ExternalLoginCallback method, replace following line

OAuthWebSecurity.CreateOrUpdateAccount(result.Provider, result.ProviderUserId, User.Identity.Name);

with following lines:

OAuthWebSecurity.CreateOrUpdateAccount(result.Provider, result.ProviderUserId, User.Identity.Name);
               if (result.Provider == "facebook" || result.Provider == "google")
               {
                   using (UsersContext db = new UsersContext())
                   {
                       UserProfile user = db.UserProfiles.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName.ToLower() == User.Identity.Name);                     
                       if (user != null)
                       {                         
                               var oauthItem = db.OAuthMemberships.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Provider == result.Provider && x.ProviderUserId == result.ProviderUserId && x.UserId == user.UserId);
                               if (oauthItem != null)
                               {
                                   oauthItem.Email = result.UserName;
                                   db.SaveChanges();
                               }                         
                       }
                   }
               }

Here you will create the data models and use the entity classes in it. The Entity Framework is used as a reference to use the entity classes. The Entity Framework is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework. We use it to reduce the data access code that we used to access the data. It provides the entity classes to access the data using LINQ.

There are various types of approaches in Entity Framework. We'll use the Code First Approach to define the data models by using classes. We'll map them to an existing database or use it to generate the new database. The Entity Framework reference already exists in the references in the ASP.NET Web Forms Application. You can see that in the screenshot below:

If it is not present then it can be installed from the NuGet Package Manager. You must have a reference to the System.Data.Entity namespace to include the Entity Framework. It enables the classes to query, insert, update and delete the data. To install the Entity namespace, use the following procedure:

Step 1: Right-click on "References" and click on "Add Reference".

We'll create the class to specify the schema of the data and such a class is called an Entity Class. We'll create properties here to designate the fields in our table in the database. Use the following procedure to create the classes.

Step 1: In your Solution Explorer, right-click on the "Models" folder to add a class.

Step 2: Enter the name of the class as "Cricketer".

Step 3: Replace the class code with the code given below:

Add the following assembly:

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

Code:

public class Cricketer

{

    [ScaffoldColumn(false)]

    public int CricketerID { get; set; }

  

    [Required, StringLength(100), Display (Name="Name")]

    public string CricketerName { get; set; }

  

    [Required, StringLength(50)]

    public string Team { get; set; }

 

    [Required]

    public string Grade { get; set; }

    public int? DetailsID { get; set; }

    public virtual Detail Detail { get; set; }

}

Step 4: Generate another class named Detail.

Add the following assembly:

using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

Then replace the class code with the following code:

public class Detail

{

    [ScaffoldColumn(false)]

    public int DetailsID { get; set; }

 

    [Required]

    public int ODI { get; set; }

 

    [Required]

    public int Test { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Cricketer> Cricketers { get; set; }

}

Data Annotations

As you'd see above, some of the properties have the attributes designating the restrictions about the member such as [ScaffoldColumn(false)]. These are called data annotations. They specify the details and describe the validations for the user.

Context Class

We need to define the context class to use the classes for data accessing from the table in the database. Use the following procedure to add a context class.

Step 1: Right-click on the "Models" folder to add a new class.

Step 2: Enter the class name as CricketerContext.

Step 3:

Add the following assembly:

using System.Data.Entity;

Then replace the code with the following code:

public class CricketerContext : DbContext

{

    public CricketerContext()

        : base("WebFormsApplication")

    {

    }

 

    public DbSet<Detail> Details { get; set; }

    public DbSet<Cricketer> Cricketers { get; set; }

}

The class defined above represents the Entity Framework cricketer database context and to handle the storing and updating of the Cricketer class instances in the database.

Database Initializer Class

We'll provide some custom logic to initialize the database for running the first time the context is to be used. This will allow adding the seeded data to the database that represents the cricketer and details data.

Step 1: Add another class named CricketerDatabaseInitializer in the models folder.

Step 2:

Add the following assembly:

using System.Data.Entity;

Then modify your code with the following code:

public class CricketerDatabaseInitializer : DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<CricketerContext>

{

    protected override void Seed(CricketerContext context)

    {

        GetDetails().ForEach(d => context.Details.Add(d));

        GetCricketers().ForEach(c => context.Cricketers.Add(c));

    }

 

    private static List<Detail> GetDetails()

    {

        var details = new List<Detail> {

            new Detail

            {

                DetailsID = 1, ODI = 463, Test = 200

            },

            new Detail

            {

                DetailsID = 2, ODI = 311, Test = 113

            },

            new Detail

            {

                DetailsID = 3, ODI = 344, Test = 164

            },

            new Detail

            {

                DetailsID = 4, ODI = 375, Test = 168

            },

        };

 

        return details;

    }

 

    private static List<Cricketer> GetCricketers()

    {

        var cricketers = new List<Cricketer> {

            new Cricketer

            {

                CricketerID = 1, CricketerName = "yourname",

                Team = "India", Grade = "A", DetailsID = 1,

            },

            new Cricketer

            {

                CricketerID = 2, CricketerName = "Saurav Ganguly",

                Team = "India", Grade = "A", DetailsID = 2,

            },

            new Cricketer

            {

                CricketerID = 3, CricketerName = "yourname",

                Team = "India", Grade = "A", DetailsID = 3,

            },

            new Cricketer

            {

                CricketerID = 4, CricketerName = "yourname",

                Team = "Australia", Grade = "A", DetailsID = 4,

            },

    };

 

        return cricketers;

    }

}

The seed property is overridden and set after the initialization and creation of the database. The values from the details and cricketers display on the database. If we modify the database by changing the values through the code above, we'll not see the updated values after running the application because the code uses an implementation of the DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges class to recognize if the model has changed before resetting the seed data.

Now we have four classes that are created here. For example:

Application Configuration

Now, we need to configure the application to use the Model classes. There are two main sections given below:

    Global File Configuration

    Open the Global.asax file.

    Add the following assembly:

    using System.Data.Entity;

    using WebFormsApplication.Models;

    Then modify the code with the following code:

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        // Code that runs on application startup

        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

        Database.SetInitializer(new CricketerDatabaseInitializer());

    }
    

    Web Config File Configuration

    Open the Web.config file and add the following in the connection string:
    

    <add name="WebFormsApplication" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;
         AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\WebFormsApp.mdf;
         Integrated Security=True"

         providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Cookies is a small piece of information stored on the client machine. This file is located on client machines "C:\Document and Settings\Currently_Login user\Cookie" path.  Its is used to store user preference information like Username, Password,City and PhoneNo etc on client machines that you created in ASP.NET.
Cookies could be stolen by hackers to gain access to a victim's web account. Even cookies are not software and they cannot be programmed like normal executable applications. Cookies cannot carry viruses and cannot install malware on the host computer. However, they can be used by spyware to track user's browsing activities.

How to create a cookie?
There are many ways to create cookies, I am going to outline some of them below:
Example 1:
HttpCookie userInfo = new HttpCookie("userInfo");
userInfo["UserName"] = "Annathurai";
userInfo["UserColor"] = "Black";
userInfo.Expires.Add(new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0));
Response.Cookies.Add(userInfo);

Example 2:
Response.Cookies["userName"].Value = "Annathurai";
Response.Cookies["userColor"].Value = "Black";

How to delete cookie?
Now look at the code given below which will delete cookies.
Example 1:
string User_Name = string.Empty;
string User_Color = string.Empty;
User_Name = Request.Cookies["userName"].Value;
User_Color = Request.Cookies["userColor"].Value;

Example 2:
string User_name = string.Empty;
string User_color = string.Empty;
HttpCookie reqCookies = Request.Cookies["userInfo"];
if (reqCookies != null)
{
User_name = reqCookies["UserName"].ToString();
User_color = reqCookies["UserColor"].ToString();
}

When we make request from client to web server, the web server process the request and give the lot of information with big pockets  which will have Header information, Metadata, cookies etc., Then repose object can do all the things with browser.

Cookie's common property:

• Domain => Which is used to associate cookies to domain.
• Secure  => We can enable secure cookie to set true(HTTPs).
• Value    => We can manipulate individual cookie.
• Values  => We can manipulate cookies with key/value pair.
• Expires => Which is used to set expire date for the cookies.

Advantages of Cookie:

• Its clear text so user can able to read it.
• We can store user preference information on the client machine.
• Its easy way to maintain.
• Fast accessing.
• Disadvantages of Cookie
• If user clear cookie information we can't get it back.
• No security.
• Each request will have cookie information with page.

How to clear the cookie information?
we can clear cookie information from client machine on cookie folder

To set expires to cookie object
userInfo.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
It will clear the cookie with one hour duration.

One of new features from ASP.NET 4.5 is Regex. Lets start by the new Regex Api introduced with the framework. The improvement that has been made is minor yet handy at certain cases. The Regex class of .NET 4.5 supports Timeout. Lets take a look how to work with it.

Lets try to write a simplest RegEx validator to look into it.

Here in the code you can see I simply check a string with a Regular expression. It eventually finds success as Pattern matches the string. Now this code is little different than what we have been doing for last few years. The constructor overload of Regex now supports a Timespan seed, which indicates the timeout value after which the Regular expression validator would automatically generate a RegexMatchTimeoutException. The Match defined within the Regex class can generate timeout after a certain time exceeds.

You can specify Regex.InfiniteMatchTimeout to specify that the timeout does not occur. The value of InfiniteMatchTimeout is -1ms internally and you can also use Timespan.Frommilliseconds(-1) as value for timespan which will indicate that the Regular expression will never timeout which being the default behavior of our normal Regex class. Regex also supports AppDomain to get default value of the Timeout. You can set timeout value for "REGEX_DEFAULT_MATCH_TIMEOUT" in AppDomain to set it all the way through the Regular expressions being used in the same AppDomain. Lets take a look how it works.

Now this works exactly the same as the previous one. Here the Regex(new feature of ASP.NET 4.5) constructor automatically checks the AppDomain value and applies it as default. If it is not present, it will take -1 as default which is Infinite TImeout and also if explicitely timeout is specified after the default value from AppDomain, the Regex class is smart enough to use the explicitly set value only to itself for which it is specified. The Regex Constructor generates a TypeInitializationException if appdomain value of Timespan is invalid. Lets check the internal structure.

This is the actual code that runs in background and generates the timeouts. Infact while scanning the string with the pattern, there is a call to CheckTimeout which checks whether the time specified is elapsed for the object. The CheckTimeout throws the exception from itself.

The Constructor sets DefaultMatchTimeout when the object is created taking it from AppDomain data elements.

If the pattern is supplied from external or you are not sure about the pattern that needs to be applied to the string, it is always recommended to use Timeouts. Basically you should also specify a rational limit of AppDomain regex default to ensure no regular expression can ever hang your application.

This is a small tip on the new Regex enhancements introduced with .NET 4.5 recently.  I hope you like it. More to come shortly.

ASP web hosting specialist ASPHostPortal.com announced this week that it has launched a hosting package with support for Microsoft’s ASP.NET 4.5.1.
The company, which says it specializes in hosting for projects based on Windows, Microsoft SQL Server, ASP.NET, along with various other Microsoft products, launched the service this week, just a few month after the release candidate for ASP.NET 4.5.1 was issued by Microsoft.

Specialization in a certain development technology is one of the more common ways for a hosting provider to distinguish itself in a very commoditized market. ASPHostPortal.com has obviously intentionally narrowed its market to developers using Microsoft technologies.

One of the keys to focusing on a market based around a certain technology is quickly instituting support and expertise around new and emerging elements of that technology
The latest update to Microsoft’s popular .NET technology, ASP.NET 4.5.1. Here are some new features of ASP.NET 4.5.1:

1. CLR Improvements
2. multi-core JIT improvements
3. Async-aware debugging
4. Managed return value inspection
5. ADO.NET idle connection resiliency
6. ASP.NET app suspension
7. On-demand large object heap compaction
8. Better discoverability of Microsoft .NET NuGet packages
9. Supporting large scale deployment of .NET NuGet packages

According to ASPHostPortal.com, its ASP.NET 4.5.1 offerings are distinguished by their low cost, with many of the hosting services supporting the technology being of the more expensive variety. ASPHostPortal.com’s offerings 7 Day Free Trial Hosting to all new customers.

“We pride ourselves on offering the most up to date Microsoft services. We're pleased to launch this product today on our hosting environment” said Dean Thomas, Manager at ASPHostPortal.com. “We have always had a great appreciation for the products that Microsoft offers. With the launched of ASP.NET4.5.1 hosting services, we hope that developers and our existing clients can try this new features.Now, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get ASP.NET 4.5.1 hosting.”
