ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting Tutorial :: How to Send Multiple Value to Server using JSON in ASP.NET

clock September 15, 2014 10:49 by author Ben

JSON is JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is a syntax for storing and exchanging data. JSON is an easier to use alternative to XML. JSON uses JavaScript syntax, but the JSON format is text only, just like XML. Text can be read and used as a data format by any programming language. using JSON with JavaScript in an ASP.Net page is a straightforward process if you remember to follow certain steps. If you get this right, then you can use JQuery to load your JSON and your JavaScript code can easily access the JSON data.

Json.Net is a popular framework for working with JSON. In particular, it has a bunch of features that are not supported by the DataContractJsonSerializer such as being much more flexible in what kind of types it can serialize and exactly how they should be serialized.

And now I will tell you how to Send multiple value to Server using JSON in ASP.NET.

Step 1 : Create WebService Method.

    [WebMethod]
    public string GetData(string Data)
    {
        System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer JSON = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
        Object obj = JSON.DeserializeObject(Data);
        Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
        foreach (KeyValuePair d in (Dictionary)obj)
        {
            ht.Add(d.Key, d.Value);
        }
        return "GetData successfully.";
    }


Step 2 : Create JavaScript function using jQuery.ajax
Declare Array type in JavaScript and serialize to JSON Data and pass value to WebService.

    function SendData() {
        var arg = {};
        arg["Data1"] = "String1";
        arg["Data2"] = 950;
        arg["Data3"] = "String2";
        arg = Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(arg);

        $.ajax({
            url: "WebService.asmx/GetData",
            data: "{ 'Data': '" + arg + "' }",
            dataType: "json",
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataFilter: function (data) { return data; },
            success: function (data) {
                alert(data.d);
            },
            error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                alert(XMLHttpRequest.responseText);
            }
        });
    }

 



ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: SEO Tips for Your ASP.NET Site

clock August 23, 2014 09:42 by author Kenny

Here are 7 tips on SEO for your ASP.NET website:

A Microsoft server-side Web technology. ASP.NET takes an object-oriented programming approach to Web page execution. Every element in an ASP.NET page is treated as an object and run on the server. An ASP.NET page gets compiled into an intermediate language by a .NET Common Language Runtime-compliant compiler.

Page Titles

Page titles between tags is one important thing that many fail to practice in SEO. When a search is made in Google, these titles show up as links in the result. So that explains its importance. The common mistake among website owners is giving the same title for all pages. Page titles drive traffic to your site, hence it is important to have a proper title to attract visitors. Adding titles is not as hard as you imagine. If you have a product catalog use your product name as title. You can also choose to give a different title that is related to your product.

Meaningful URL

URLs that are long with query parameters do not look neat and it is difficult for the visitor to remember. Instead use formatted URLs for your static pages. URL which has a meaning explains the content in your website. Although experts agree with using an URL that has query parameters, it is better to have a meaningful URL. Components like UrlRewritingNet can be used for this purpose. Mapping support in URL is offered by IIS7 which has plenty of features.

Structure of the Content

Content without a structure is not possible.  You will have titles, headings, sub headings, paragraphs and others. How would you emphasize some quotes or important points in your content? If you follow the below mentioned steps, the structure of your content will be semantically correct.

  • Divide long stories or parts using headings. Short paragraphs make more sense to the readers. Use tags to bring beauty to your content.
  • If you want to emphasize an important point or quote, place them between tags.

Visitors can create structured content if you use FCKEditor and the like. Integrating these to your website is not complex.

Clean the Source Code

Don’t panic, it is advisable to clean up the source code and minimize the number of codes. The following simple steps will assist you in cleaning the source code: You can use

  • External stylesheets and not inline CSS
    • js files instead of inline JavaScript
  • HTML comments is not encouraged
  • Avoid massive line breaking
  • Avoid using viewstate when not required

The relation between the content and the code (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) determines the ranking of your website. Smaller source codes help build a strong relation.

Crawlable Site

Do not use

  • Silver or flash light for menus or to highlight information
  • Menus based on JavaScript
  • Menus based on buttons
  • Intro-pages

Do use

  • Simple tags wherever possible
  • Sitemap
  • “Alt” for images
  • RSS

Test the Site

What happens to the requests that are sent when the site is slow? Sometimes requests are sent by robots and if they are unable to connect to your site continuously, they drop the site from their index. Enable your site to respond fast to requests even during peak hours. Moreover, visitors don’t like to visit slow sites. Use the various tools available and conduct the stress test for your site. Perform this and locate all the weak parts of the site. Fix them so that your site gets indexed. 

Test the AJAX site

Spiders can only run a few parts of your AJAX website because they don’t run JavaScripts. Spiders can only analyze the data and hence they remain invisible to robots. The AJAX sites do not get indexed which does not help in search engine optimization. To make the site spider friendly, try and keep away from initial content loading into the JavaScript. You can also follow this only for pages that you like to index.  Make it easy for robots so that they can navigate. Try this simple trick to see how your AJAX site will appear to the robots. Disable JavaScript from the browser and visit your AJAX site. You can view the pages which robots will index.



ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: Token Based Authentication using ASP.NET Web API 2, Owin, and Identity.

clock July 22, 2014 09:26 by author Kenny

In this article, we are going to explain about Token Based Authentication using ASP.NET Web API 2, Owin, and Identity. As you know that a token is a piece of data created by server, and contains information to identify a particular user and token validity. The token will contain the user's information, as well as a special token code that user can pass to the server with every method that supports authentication, instead of passing a username and password directly.

What is Token Based Authentication?

Token-based authentication is a security technique that authenticates the users who attempt to log in to a server, a network, or some other secure system, using a security token provided by the server. An authentication is successful if a user can prove to a server that he or she is a valid user by passing a security token. The service validates the security token and processes the user request. After the token is validated by the service, it is used to establish security context for the client, so the service can make authorization decisions or audit activity for successive user requests.

The general concept behind a token-based authentication system is simple. Allow users to enter their username and password in order to obtain a token which allows them to fetch a specific resource - without using their username and password. Once their token has been obtained, the user can offer the token - which offers access to a specific resource for a time period - to the remote site.

What is ASP.NET Web API 2, Owin, and Identity?

This article is about Token Based Authentication using ASP.NET Web API 2, Owin, and Identity. ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework. ASP.NET Identity is the reworked, flexible replacement for the old membership system that has been around since ASP.NET 2.0. ASP.NET Identity is more well designed and flexible than the old membership system and uses Owin middleware components for external logins such as Facebook, Google and Twitter.

Building the Back-End API

Step 1: Creating the Web API Project

Now create an empty solution and name it “AngularJSAuthentication” then add new ASP.NET Web application named “AngularJSAuthentication.API”, the selected template for project will be as the image below. Notice that the authentication is set to “No Authentication” taking into consideration that we’ll add this manually.

Step 2: Installing the needed NuGet Packages:

Now we need to install the NuGet packages which are needed to setup our Owin server and configure ASP.NET Web API to be hosted within an Owin server, so open NuGet Package Manger Console and type the below:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Owin -Version 5.1.2

Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb -Version 2.1.0

The  package “Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb” is used to enable our Owin server to run our API on IIS using ASP.NET request pipeline as eventually we’ll host this API on Microsoft Azure Websites which uses IIS.

Step 3: Add Owin “Startup” Class

Right click on your project then add new class named “Startup”. We’ll visit this class many times and modify it, for now it will contain the code below:
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Http;

[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(AngularJSAuthentication.API.Startup))]

namespace AngularJSAuthentication.API

{

    public class Startup

    {

        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)

        {

            HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();

            WebApiConfig.Register(config);

            app.UseWebApi(config);

        }

    }

}

What we’ve implemented above is simple, this class will be fired once our server starts, notice the “assembly” attribute which states which class to fire on start-up. The “Configuration” method accepts parameter of type “IAppBuilder” this parameter will be supplied by the host at run-time. This “app” parameter is an interface which will be used to compose the application for our Owin server.

The “HttpConfiguration” object is used to configure API routes, so we’ll pass this object to method “Register” in “WebApiConfig” class.

Lastly, we’ll pass the “config” object to the extension method “UseWebApi” which will be responsible to wire up ASP.NET Web API to our Owin server pipeline.

Usually the class “WebApiConfig” exists with the templates we’ve selected, if it doesn’t exist then add it under the folder “App_Start”. Below is the code inside it:

    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
       public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            // Web API routes
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );

           var jsonFormatter = config.Formatters.OfType<JsonMediaTypeFormatter>().First();

            jsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver();
        }
}

Step 4: Delete Global.asax Class

No need to use this class and fire up the Application_Start event after we’ve configured our “Startup” class so feel free to delete it.

Step 5: Add the ASP.NET Identity System

After we’ve configured the Web API, it is time to add the needed NuGet packages to add support for registering and validating user credentials, so open package manager console and add the below NuGet packages:

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin -Version 2.0.1

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework -Version 2.0.1

The first package will add support for ASP.NET Identity Owin, and the second package will add support for using ASP.NET Identity with Entity Framework so we can save users to SQL Server database.

Now we need to add Database context class which will be responsible to communicate with our database, so add new class and name it “AuthContext” then paste the code snippet below:

public class AuthContext : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser>
    {
        public AuthContext()
            : base("AuthContext")
            }

As you can see this class inherits from “IdentityDbContext” class, you can think about this class as special version of the traditional “DbContext” Class, it will provide all of the Entity Framework code-first mapping and DbSet properties needed to manage the identity tables in SQL Server.

Step 6: Add Repository class to support ASP.NET Identity System

Now we want to implement two methods needed in our application which they are: “RegisterUser” and “FindUser”, so add new class named “AuthRepository” and paste the code snippet below:

    public class AuthRepository : IDisposable
    {
        private AuthContext _ctx;

        private UserManager<IdentityUser> _userManager;
        public AuthRepository()
        {
            _ctx = new AuthContext();
            _userManager = new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>(_ctx));
        }

        public async Task<IdentityResult> RegisterUser(UserModel userModel)
        {
          IdentityUser user = new IdentityUser
            {            UserName = userModel.UserName
            };
            var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, userModel.Password);
            return result;
        }
        public async Task<IdentityUser> FindUser(string userName, string password)
        {
        IdentityUser user = await _userManager.FindAsync(userName, password);
            return user;
        }
        public void Dispose()
        {
            _ctx.Dispose();
            _userManager.Dispose();
        }
}

Step 7: Add our “Account” Controller

Now it is the time to add our first Web API controller which will be used to register new users, so under file “Controllers” add Empty Web API 2 Controller named “AccountController” and paste the code below:

[RoutePrefix("api/Account")]
    public class AccountController : ApiController
    {
          private AuthRepository _repo = null;
          public AccountController()
        {
           _repo = new AuthRepository();
        }
        // POST api/Account/Register
        [AllowAnonymous]
        [Route("Register")]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Register(UserModel userModel)
        {
         if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            {
              return BadRequest(ModelState);
            }
            IdentityResult result = await _repo.RegisterUser(userModel);
            IHttpActionResult errorResult = GetErrorResult(result);
            if (errorResult != null)
            {
              return errorResult;
            }
              return Ok();
        }
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
           if (disposing)
            {
              _repo.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
        private IHttpActionResult GetErrorResult(IdentityResult result)
        {
          if (result == null)
            {
             return InternalServerError();
            }
            if (!result.Succeeded)
            {
              if (result.Errors != null)
                {
                  foreach (string error in result.Errors)
                    {
                     ModelState.AddModelError("", error);
                    }
                }
                if (ModelState.IsValid)
                {
                // No ModelState errors are available to send, so just return an empty BadRequest.
                    return BadRequest();
                }
                return BadRequest(ModelState);
            }
            return null;
        }
}

Step 8: Add Secured Orders Controller

Now we want to add another controller to serve our Orders, we’ll assume that this controller will return orders only for Authenticated users, to keep things simple we’ll return static data. So add new controller named “OrdersController” under “Controllers” folder and paste the code below:

[RoutePrefix("api/Orders")]
    public class OrdersController : ApiController
    {
     [Authorize]
        [Route("")]
        public IHttpActionResult Get()
        {
         return Ok(Order.CreateOrders());
        }
    }
    #region Helpers
    public class Order
    {
   public int OrderID
     {
      get;
      set;
     }
        public string CustomerName
         {
           get;
           set;
         }
        public string ShipperCity
        {
          get;
          set;
      }
        public Boolean IsShipped
       {   
         get;
         set;
      }
        public static List<Order> CreateOrders()
        {
         List<Order> OrderList = new List<Order>
            {
                new Order {OrderID = 10248, CustomerName = "Taiseer Joudeh", ShipperCity = "Amman", IsShipped = true },
                new Order {OrderID = 10249, CustomerName = "Ahmad Hasan", ShipperCity = "Dubai", IsShipped = false},
                new Order {OrderID = 10250,CustomerName = "Tamer Yaser", ShipperCity = "Jeddah", IsShipped = false },
                new Order {OrderID = 10251,CustomerName = "Lina Majed", ShipperCity = "Abu Dhabi", IsShipped = false},
                new Order {OrderID = 10252,CustomerName = "Yasmeen Rami", ShipperCity = "Kuwait", IsShipped = true}
            };
            return OrderList;
        }
   }
    #endregion

Step 9: Add support for OAuth Bearer Tokens Generation

Till this moment we didn’t configure our API to use OAuth authentication workflow, to do so open package manager console and install the following NuGet package:

Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Security.OAuth -Version 2.1.0

After you install this package open file “Startup” again and call the new method named “ConfigureOAuth” as the first line inside the method “Configuration”, the implemntation for this method as below:

public class Startup
    {
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
          ConfigureOAuth(app);
                    //Rest of code is here;
        }
        public void ConfigureOAuth(IAppBuilder app)
        {
          OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
            {
                AllowInsecureHttp = true,
                TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
                AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1),
                Provider = new SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider()
            };
            // Token Generation
            app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(OAuthServerOptions);
            app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());
        }}

Step 10: Implement the “SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider” class

Add new folder named “Providers” then add new class named “SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider”, paste the code snippet below:

public class SimpleAuthorizationServerProvider : OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
    {
      public override async Task ValidateClientAuthentication(OAuthValidateClientAuthenticationContext context)
        {
  context.Validated();
        }
        public override async Task GrantResourceOwnerCredentials(OAuthGrantResourceOwnerCredentialsContext context)
       {
   context.OwinContext.Response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", new[] { "*" });
            using (AuthRepository _repo = new AuthRepository())
            {
   IdentityUser user = await _repo.FindUser(context.UserName, context.Password);
                if (user == null)
                {context.SetError("invalid_grant", "The user name or password is incorrect.");
                    return;
                }
         }
            var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(context.Options.AuthenticationType);
            identity.AddClaim(new Claim("sub", context.UserName));
            identity.AddClaim(new Claim("role", "user"));
            context.Validated(identity);
        }
    }

Step 11: Allow CORS for ASP.NET Web API

First of all we need to install the following NuGet package manger, so open package manager console and type:

Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Cors -Version 2.1.0

Now open class “Startup” again and add the highlighted line of code (line 8) to the method “Configuration” as the below:

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();
            ConfigureOAuth(app);
            WebApiConfig.Register(config);
            app.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);
            app.UseWebApi(config);        }

Step 12: Testing the Back-end API

Assuming that you registered the username “Taiseer” with password “SuperPass” in the step below, we’ll use the same username to generate token, so to test this out open your favorite REST client application in order to issue HTTP requests to generate token for user “Taiseer”. For me I’ll be using PostMan.



Cheap ASP.NET Hosting Tips :: How to Integrate Paypal in ASP.NET Site

clock July 11, 2014 09:17 by author Ben

This article discusses integration of PayPal Payment in ASP.NET web application. Nowadays PayPal is the most popular payment gateway worldwide because it is totally free to integrate and PayPal does not charge anything for opening an account, you will pay PayPal when you get paid. And the amount is also lower than other payment gateways.

PayPal supports several types of payments:

  • Payments for goods in the PayPal cart. PayPal is responsible for all operations supporting the cart in this case. Unfortunately, this option does not provide the maximum flexibility that is required to implement some projects, so the article does not consider this option.
  • Recurring billing or subscription. PayPal provides a subscription capability; that means that a definite sum will be periodically transferred from the user's account to the seller's account. The user can unsubscribe anytime. The seller can specify the subscription's period and cost. He also can organize a trial period to let the user assess the quality of services he provides. The trial period can be either paid or free.
  • "One click" shopping. Goods are not put into the cart in this case. This method also is used to pay for goods in a cart that was filled without PayPal. That's why this option provides maximum flexibility and full control of the cart.


Let’s start step by step work to integrate PayPal payment :

1.  Create PayPal account on PayPal Sandbox: Basically, PayPal provides an environment to developer that how they can integrate PayPal payment in their website. So just open URL: https://developer.paypal.com/ and click on SignUp option.

2. Create buyer (Personal Account) and one seller account (Business Account) PayPal account.

3. Having a valid PayPal API Token Key

4. Having PayPal business account email id

5. Create New Page on ASP.NET project and copy this script :

On ASPX PAGE:

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

ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting in United Arab Emirates with ASPHostPortal :: How toTransfer Data from One Page to another Page in ASP.NET 4.5.2

clock June 10, 2014 11:47 by author Kenny

ASP.NET is a web programming platform developed by Microsoft. It is the successor to Active Server Pages. The term "classic ASP" is often used to distinguish previous versions of Active Server Pages with the .NET (pronounced "dot net") versions. How many ways do you know to send the data between ASP.NET Pages? In this post I’m going to list 8 different ways.

Now, let me explain how to learn multiple ways to transfer data from one ASP.NET page to another. Some of these include using the cache, http posts, querystring variables, ASP.NET session state, etc. Each button in the demo has the required code in it's Click event handler, and brings you to a separate target page that gets and displays the data that was sent. Let’s check here are the methods:

1. Use the querystring:
The QueryString collection is used to retrieve the variable values in the HTTP query string.  Using this technique I will add my data with URL and on the next page will grab it.

 protected void QueryStringButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              Response.Redirect("QueryStringPage.aspx?Data=" + Server.UrlEncode(DataToSendTextBox.Text));
         }


2. Use HTTP POST:
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communication protocol that is designed to enable request-response between clients and servers.  Using this technique I will call a post back url and the on next page using Request.From I will grab it.

 <asp:Button ID="HttpPostButton" runat="server" Text="Use HttpPost" 
              PostBackUrl="~/HttpPostPage.aspx" onclick="HttpPostButton_Click"/>
 
 protected void HttpPostButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
      // The PostBackUrl property of the Button takes care of where to send it!
         }


3. Use Session State:
Sessions can be used to store even complex data for the user just like cookies. Actually, sessions will use cookies to store the data, unless you explicitly tell it not to. Sessions can be used easily in ASP.NET with the Session object. Using this technique I will store the data in session variable on the client machine and on the next page will grab it. Using Application Variable instead of Session Variable is recommended by experts.

    protected void SessionStateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              Session["Data"] = DataToSendTextBox.Text;
              Response.Redirect("SessionStatePage.aspx");
         }


4.  Use public properties:
Properties are not just to provide access to the fields; rather, they are supposed to provide controlled access to the fields of our class. Using this technique I will send the using a public method and on the next page will grab it using PreviousPage.MethodName.

    public string DataToSend
         {
             get
             {
                  return DataToSendTextBox.Text;
              }
         }
 
         protected void PublicPropertiesButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              Server.Transfer("PublicPropertiesPage.aspx");
         }


5. Use PreviousPage Control Info:
Using this technique I will just redirect the user on next page and on the next page will use PreviousPage.FindControl to grab the data.

 protected void ControlInfoButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              Server.Transfer("ControlInfoPage.aspx");
         }
 
   // target page:
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             var textbox = PreviousPage.FindControl("DataToSendTextbox") as TextBox;
              if (textbox != null)
             {
                 DataReceivedLabel.Text = textbox.Text;
             }
         }


6. Use HttpContext Items Collection:

   protected void HttpContextButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              HttpContext.Current.Items["data"] = DataToSendTextBox.Text;
              Server.Transfer("HttpContextItemsPage.aspx");
         }
 
 // target page:
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              this.DataReceivedLabel.Text =(String) HttpContext.Current.Items["data"];
         }


7. Use Cookies:
Cookies are small pieces of text that are passed between browser and web server with every request. As a consequence, their values are available to any page within the site. Cookies are commonly used to store user preferences which help the site remember which features to turn on or off, for example. They might be used to record the fact that the current user has authenticated and is allowed to access restricted areas of the site. It is the browser's job to store persistent cookies as text files on the client machine. The storage duration is determined by the type of cookie and the expiry date that it is given. Cookies with no expiry date are not stored on the client machine and are cleared at the end of the user's session.

 protected void CookiesButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             HttpCookie cook =  new HttpCookie("data");
             cook.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
             cook.Value = DataToSendTextBox.Text;
              Response.Cookies.Add(cook);
              Response.Redirect("HttpCookiePage.aspx");
         }
 
 // target page:
 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             DataReceivedLabel.Text = Request.Cookies["data"].Value;
         }


8. Use Cache:
The Cache is primarily intended to be used to improve performance of web pages, in that you can add any arbitrary object to it and retrieve it at will. Cache items are stored in memory on the server, and can be considered as special global variables. In fact, pre-ASP.NET, Application state used to be treated as a kind of cache. The difference between Application variables and Cache is that Cache offers a management API. In Web Pages, cache is managed via a WebCache helper. When you want to add something to the Cache, you use the WebCache.Set method. This method takes four parameters: the name you want to give the cache item, the item itself, the number of minutes that the item should remain in the Cache (default: 20) and whether those minutes should restart everytime the item is referenced or not (default: true). This is called Sliding Expiration.

 protected void CacheButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              Cache["data"] = DataToSendTextBox.Text;
              Server.Transfer("CachePage.aspx");
         }
    // target page:
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              this.DataReceivedLabel.Text = (string) Cache["data"];
         }


ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting in Saudi Arabia with ASPHostPortal.com :: What’s New in ASP.NET 4.5.2? – QueueBackgroundWorkItem

clock June 9, 2014 11:56 by author Kenny

ASP.NET is built on the .NET framework, which provides an application program interface (API) for software programmers. The .NET development tools can be used to create applications for both the Windows operating system and the Web. You've probably heard the word ASP.net fairly often these days, especially on developer sites and news. This article will explain what the fuss is all about. ASP.NET is not just the next version of ASP; it is the next era of web development. ASP.NET allows you to use a full featured programming language such as C# (pronounced C-Sharp) or VB.NET to build web applications easily.

New version of ASP.NET, .Net 4.5.2 was released on May 5th. Starting with the recently released version 4.5.2 of the .NET Framework, ASP.NET now supports the HostingEnvironment.QueueBackgroundWorkItem which lets you queue background threads from within an ASP.Net web application.

Well, the new HostingEnvironment.QueueBackgroundWorkItem method that lets you schedule small background work items. ASP.NET tracks these items and prevents IIS from abruptly terminating the worker process until all background work items have completed. These will enable ASP.NET applications to reliably schedule Async work items.

Remember that the QueueBackgroundWorkItem can only be called inside an ASP.NET managed app domain. It won't work if the runtime host is either Internet Explorer or some Windows shell. This is useful for long running tasks that don’t need to complete before returning a response to the user.

 using System;
 using System.Diagnostics;
 using System.Threading;
 using System.Threading.Tasks;
 using System.Web.Hosting;
 using System.Web.Mvc; 
 
 namespace QueueBackgroundWorkItem.Controllers
 {
     public class HomeController : Controller
     {
         // notice that the action did need to be declared async
         public ActionResult Index()
         {
             Func<CancellationToken, Task> workItem = DelayWrite;
             HostingEnvironment.QueueBackgroundWorkItem(workItem);
              // the view is returned before the work item is complete
            return View();
         } 
         // Background work items should use async/await to avoid tying up IIS threads
         // the runtime will provide the cancellation token
         private async Task DelayWrite(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
         {
             // perform a long running operation, e.g. network service call, computation, file IO
             await Task.Delay(5000);
             Trace.WriteLine("Executed from a background work item");         
         }  
     }
 }
