ASP.NET MVC Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Structure The Application in ASP.NET MVC Areas

clock November 25, 2014 05:11 by author Ben

This week I discovered a difficulty related to structuring an ASP.NET MVC web applications one advancement crew was dealing with. The things they have been trying to do was quite straightforward: to create a folder framework each having their particular subfolders for View/Controller/Scripts/CSS and so on. The appliance assets like JS/CSS etc. were not getting rendered properly. The difficulty was owing to NET.config file lying underneath the subfolder, which when moved to the Views folder below that subfolder things went good. The purpose of this post just isn't to debate regarding the specifics of that difficulty and it is solution.But to discuss regarding how we will very easily framework our ASP.NET MVC Web application as per distinct modules, which is an clear need for just about any big application.


ASP.NET MVC follows the paradigm of “Convention Over Configuration” and default folder structure and naming conventions operates good to get a smaller sized software. But for relatively bigger a single there is a necessity to customise.The framework also offers adequate provisions for the same.You'll be able to have your personal controller manufacturing facility to get custom methods to making the controller classes and custom see engine for finding the rendering the sights. But when the necessity would be to structure the applying to distinct subfolders as per modules or subsites I believe using “Area” in ASP.NET MVC will likely be useful to make a streamlined software.

You can add a area to some ASP.NET MVC undertaking in Visual Studio as shown beneath.

Here I have added an area named “Sales”. As shown in the figure below a folder named “Areas” is created with a subfolder “Sales”. Under “Sales” we can see the following

  • The standard folder of Models/Views/Controllers
    • A Web.config under the Views folder. This contains the necessary entries for the RazorViewEngine to function properly
  • A class named SalesAreaRegistration.

The code (auto generated) for the SalesAreaRegistration class is shown below:

public class SalesAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
    public override string AreaName
    {
        get
        {
            return "Sales";
        }
    }
 
    public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
    {
        context.MapRoute(
            "Sales_default",
            "Sales/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

System.Web.Mvc.AreaRegistration may be the summary base class use registering the places to the ASP.NET MVC Web Application. The method void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context) must be overriden to sign up the realm by providing the route mappings. The class System.Web.Mvc.AreaRegistrationContext encapsulates the mandatory information (like Routes) required to sign-up the area.

In Global.asax.cs Application_Start occasion we must RegisterAllAreas() technique as demonstrated under:

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

The RegisterAllAreas method looks for all types deriving from AreaRegistration and invokes their RegisterArea method to register the Areas.

Now with the necessary infrastructure code in place I have added a HomeController and Index page for the “Sales” area as shown below.

I have to change the Route Registration for the HomeController to avoid conflicts and provide the namespace information as shown below:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
 
            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },// Parameter defaults
                new String[] { "AreasDemo.Controllers" }
            );
}

Now I will add a link to the Sales area by modifying the _Layout.cshtml as shown below:

<li>@Html.ActionLink("Sales", "Index", "Home", new { area="Sales"},null)</li>

Here I am navigating to the area “Sales” from the main application so I have to provide area information with routeValues. The following overload is being used in the code above:

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes);

How to Create Nested WebGrid with Expand/Collapse in ASP.NET MVC6.

Introduction

In this post, I am explain How to Create Nested WebGrid with Expand/Collapse in ASP.NET MVC6.
Steps :

Step - 1 : Create New Project.

  • Go to File > New > Project > Select asp.net MVC6 web application > Entry Application Name > Click OK > Select Internet Application > Select view engine Razor > OK

Step-2: Add a Database.

  • Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on App_Data folder > Add > New item > Select SQL Server Database Under Data > Enter Database name > Add.

Step-3: Create table for fetch data.

  • Open Database > Right Click on Table > Add New Table > Add Columns > Save > Enter table name > OK.

In this example, I have used two tables as below

Step-4: Add Entity Data Model.

  • Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project name form Solution Explorer > Add > New item > Select ADO.net Entity Data Model under data > Enter model name > Add.
  • A popup window will come (Entity Data Model Wizard) > Select Generate from database > Next >
  • Chose your data connection > select your database > next > Select tables > enter Model Namespace > Finish.

Step-5: Add a class for create a view model.

  • 1st : Add a folder.
  • Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on the project > add > new folder.
  • 2nd : Add a class on that folder
  • Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on that folder > Add > Class... > Enter Class name > Add.

Write the following code in this class

using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace MVCNestedWebgrid.ViewModel
{
    public class OrderVM
    {
        public OrderMaster order { get; set; }
        public List<OrderDetail> orderDetails { get; set; }
    }
}

Step-6: Add a new Controller.

  • Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Controllers folder form Solution Explorer > Add > Controller > Enter Controller name > Select Templete "empty MVC Controller"> Add.

Step-7: Add new action into your controller for show nested data in a webgrid.

Here I have added "List" Action into "Order" Controller. Please write this following code

public ActionResult List()
{
    List<OrderVM> allOrder = new List<OrderVM>();
 
    // here MyDatabaseEntities is our data context
    using (MyDatabaseEntities dc = new MyDatabaseEntities())
    {
        var o = dc.OrderMasters.OrderByDescending(a => a.OrderID);
        foreach (var i in o)
        {
            var od = dc.OrderDetails.Where(a => a.OrderID.Equals(i.OrderID)).ToList();
            allOrder.Add(new OrderVM { order= i, orderDetails = od });
        }
    }
    return View(allOrder);
}

Step-8: Add view for the Action & design.

  • Right Click on Action Method (here right click on form action) > Add View... > Enter View Name > Select View Engine (Razor) > Check "Create a strong-typed view" > Select your model class > Add.

NOTE " Please Rebuild solution before add view

Html Code
@model IEnumerable<MVCNestedWebgrid.ViewModel.OrderVM>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Order List";
    WebGrid grid = new WebGrid(source: Model, canSort: false);
}
<div id="main" style="padding:25px; background-color:white;">
    @grid.GetHtml(
    htmlAttributes: new {id="gridT", width="700px" },
    columns:grid.Columns(
            grid.Column("order.OrderID","Order ID"),
            grid.Column(header:"Order Date",format:(item)=> string.Format("{0:dd-MM-yyyy}",item.order.OrderDate)),
            grid.Column("order.CustomerName","Customer Name"),
            grid.Column("order.CustomerAddress","Address"),
            grid.Column(format:(item)=>{
                WebGrid subGrid = new WebGrid(source: item.orderDetails);
                return subGrid.GetHtml(
                    htmlAttributes: new { id="subT" },
                    columns:subGrid.Columns(
                            subGrid.Column("Product","Product"),
                            subGrid.Column("Quantity", "Quantity"),
                            subGrid.Column("Rate", "Rate"),
                            subGrid.Column("Amount", "Amount")
                        )                   
                    );
            })
        )
    )
</div>
Css Code
<style>
th, td {
        padding:5px;
    }
    th
    {
        background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);       
    }
    #gridT,  #gridT tr {
        border:1px solid #0D857B;
    }
    #subT,#subT tr {
        border:1px solid #f3f3f3;
    }
    #subT {
        margin:0px 0px 0px 10px;
        padding:5px;
        width:95%;
    }
    #subT th {
        font-size:12px;
    }
    .hoverEff {
        cursor:pointer;
    }
    .hoverEff:hover {
        background-color:rgb(248, 242, 242);
    }
    .expand {
        background-image: url(/Images/pm.png);
        background-position-x: -22px;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
    }
    .collapse  {
        background-image: url(/Images/pm.png);
        background-position-x: -2px;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
    }
</style>
Write the following Jquery code for make webgrid collapsible
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var size = $("#main #gridT > thead > tr >th").size(); // get total column
        $("#main #gridT > thead > tr >th").last().remove(); // remove last column
        $("#main #gridT > thead > tr").prepend("<th></th>"); // add one column at first for collapsible column
        $("#main #gridT > tbody > tr").each(function (i, el) {
            $(this).prepend(
                    $("<td></td>")
                    .addClass("expand")
                    .addClass("hoverEff")
                    .attr('title',"click for show/hide")
                );
            //Now get sub table from last column and add this to the next new added row
            var table = $("table", this).parent().html();
            //add new row with this subtable
            $(this).after("<tr><td></td><td style='padding:5px; margin:0px;' colspan='" + (size - 1) + "'>" + table + "</td></tr>");
            $("table", this).parent().remove();
            // ADD CLICK EVENT FOR MAKE COLLAPSIBLE
            $(".hoverEff", this).live("click", function () {
                $(this).parent().closest("tr").next().slideToggle(100);
                $(this).toggleClass("expand collapse");
            });
        });
        //by default make all subgrid in collapse mode
        $("#main #gridT > tbody > tr td.expand").each(function (i, el) {
            $(this).toggleClass("expand collapse");
            $(this).parent().closest("tr").next().slideToggle(100);
        });    
    });
</script>



ASP.NET 4.5 HOSTING - ASPHostPortal.com | How to Create Dynamic GridView Control in C#/ASP.Net

clock November 18, 2014 06:54 by author Dan

Introduction

In webapplications, one the most widely task is showing a table of information to clients. In Asp.net, we make utilization of the Datagrid, Datalist and Repeater controls. Every day, the need of showing the information will be diverse. Now, we will explain to you about "How to Create Dynamic GridView Control in C#/ASP.Net". Please read the steps carefully.

Implementing Dynamic GridView Control

Utilizing the gridview to show the articles will show the article a little in diverse layout when compared with Datalist. Appoint the below figure, Dynamic Gridview.

Constructing Dynamic GridView

Showing the articles in gridview will be different from showing in datalist. For that, i have made two Template classes :

  • DynamicGridViewTextTemplate
  • DynamicGridViewURLTemplate

Dynamicgridviewtexttemplate class is utilized to include a layout column with label while Dynamicgridviewurltemplate class is utilized to include URL of the article.

TemplateClass for GridView

public class DynamicGridViewTextTemplate : ITemplate
{
    string _ColName;
    DataControlRowType _rowType;
    int _Count;
    public DynamicGridViewTextTemplate(string ColName, DataControlRowType RowType)
    {
        _ColName = ColName;
        _rowType = RowType;
    }
    public DynamicGridViewTextTemplate(DataControlRowType RowType, int ArticleCount)
    {
        _rowType = RowType;
        _Count = ArticleCount;
    }
    public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)
    {
        switch (_rowType)
        {
            case DataControlRowType.Header:
                Literal lc = new Literal();
                lc.Text = "<b>" + _ColName + "</b>";
                container.Controls.Add(lc);
                break;
            case DataControlRowType.DataRow:              
                 Label lbl = new Label();
                 lbl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(this.lbl_DataBind);
                 container.Controls.Add(lbl);              
                break;
            case DataControlRowType.Footer:
                Literal flc = new Literal();
                flc.Text = "<b>Total No of Articles:" + _Count + "</b>";
                container.Controls.Add(flc);
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
 
  
    private void lbl_DataBind(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Label lbl  = (Label)sender;
        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)lbl.NamingContainer;
        lbl.Text =DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, _ColName).ToString();
    }
 
}
public class DynamicGridViewURLTemplate : ITemplate
{
    string _ColNameText;
    string _ColNameURL;
    DataControlRowType _rowType;
 
    public DynamicGridViewURLTemplate(string ColNameText, string ColNameURL, DataControlRowType RowType)
    {
        _ColNameText = ColNameText;
        _rowType = RowType;
        _ColNameURL = ColNameURL;
    }
    public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)
    {
        switch (_rowType)
        {
            case DataControlRowType.Header:
                Literal lc = new Literal();
                lc.Text = "<b>" + _ColNameURL + "</b>";
                container.Controls.Add(lc);
                break;
            case DataControlRowType.DataRow:
                HyperLink hpl = new HyperLink();
                hpl.Target = "_blank";
                hpl.DataBinding += new EventHandler(this.hpl_DataBind);
                container.Controls.Add(hpl);
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
 
    private void hpl_DataBind(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HyperLink hpl = (HyperLink)sender;
        GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)hpl.NamingContainer;
        hpl.NavigateUrl = DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, _ColNameURL).ToString();
        hpl.Text = "<div class=\"Post\"><div class=\"PostTitle\">" + DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, _ColNameText).ToString() + "</div></div>";
    }
}

Using the Template Class in GridView

Utilizing dynamic template in gridview is not the same as datalist i.e. we will make the dynamic gridview in column wise with header layout, item template and footer layout from the first column till the last.

Steps:

  1. Create a Gridview Object.
  2. Create an instance of TemplateField object.
  3. Instantiate the Dynamic template class with proper ListItemType and assign it to corresponding template property of TemplateField object and finally add this object to the column collection of GridView. Refer the below code for better understanding.

Templates of GridView

TemplateField tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("ArticleID", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("ArticleID", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                tf.FooterTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate(DataControlRowType.Footer, ds.Tables[i].Rows.Count); 

In the event that you analyze the usage of Datalist, in Gridview we won't make dynamic template for the grid within we make it for the grid's column (Templatefield). Appoint the below code (Using Template class) for clear understanding.

Using Template class

for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables.Count; i++)
        {
            if (ds.Tables[i].Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                GridView gvDynamicArticle = new GridView();
                gvDynamicArticle.Width = Unit.Pixel(700);
                gvDynamicArticle.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(0);
                gvDynamicArticle.Caption = "<div id=\"nifty\" class=\"PostCategory\"> + ds.Tables[i].Rows[0]["Category"].ToString() + " Articles</div>";
                gvDynamicArticle.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
                gvDynamicArticle.ShowFooter = true;
                TemplateField tf = null;
 
                tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("ArticleID", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("ArticleID", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                tf.FooterTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate(DataControlRowType.Footer, ds.Tables[i].Rows.Count);               
              
                gvDynamicArticle.Columns.Add(tf);
 
                tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("Title", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("Title", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                gvDynamicArticle.Columns.Add(tf);
 
                tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("Description", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("Description", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                gvDynamicArticle.Columns.Add(tf);
 
                tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewURLTemplate("Title", "URL", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewURLTemplate("Title", "URL", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                gvDynamicArticle.Columns.Add(tf);
 
                tf = new TemplateField();
                tf.HeaderTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("Author", DataControlRowType.Header);
                tf.ItemTemplate = new DynamicGridViewTextTemplate("CreatedBy", DataControlRowType.DataRow);
                gvDynamicArticle.Columns.Add(tf);
 
 
                gvDynamicArticle.RowDataBound += new GridViewRowEventHandler(this.DynamicGrid_RowDataBound);
 
                gvDynamicArticle.DataSource = ds.Tables[i];
                gvDynamicArticle.DataBind();
                phDynamicGridHolder.Controls.Add(gvDynamicArticle);
            }
        }
In the above code (Using Template class), we can unmistakably comprehend that we are making the dynamic template for the gridview's column instead of Datalist where we made the template for the grid itself. To throw more light on this it implies that we are making the first column's header, item and footer and adding it to the gridview's column list through Templatefield article till the last column as I said before.


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>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Venue

                <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>
                <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 SignalR Hosting ASPHostPortal.com :: How you can Push Data from Server to Client Making use of SignalR

clock October 3, 2014 20:11 by author Ben

In real-time environments the server is aware from the information updates, occasion occurrences, and so forth. however the customer doesn’t understand it unless the request is initiated by the client towards the server seeking the updates. This is typically attained through techniques like constant polling, extended polling, and so forth. and these methodologies incur lots of site visitors and load to the server.

 


The alternate method to simplify and reduce the overhead is to make the server effective at notifying the clients. There are lots of systems launched to attain this and a few of them are WebSockets, SSE (Server Sent Activities), Lengthy polling, and so forth. Every of those techniques has its personal caveats like WebSockets are supported only on browsers that assistance HTML5 and SSE just isn't supported on Web Explorer.

SignalR is surely an Asp.Net library, which can be created to utilize the present transport systems underneath primarily based within the client nature and the assistance it provides. ASP.NET SignalR is effective at pushing the information to some wide selection of clientele like a Internet webpage, Window application, Window Cellphone Application, and so on. The onus is now taken out in the developers of stressing about which server push transportation to use and selecting the fallbacks in the event of unsupported situations.


Composition of SignalR

To start out with SignalR it is vital that you know the components. The server component from the SignalR engineering demands web hosting a PersistentConnection or even a SignalR hub.

  1. PersistentConnection - This can be a server endpoint to press the messages for the clientele. It enables the developers to accessibility the SignalR features at a low stage.
  2. Hub - It really is built on top of the PersistentConnection exposing high-level APIs and it allows the builders to produce the server to consumer calls within an RPC style (Remote Method Contact).

Within the client front SignalR offers various consumer libraries to different customers like Home windows Application, Internet Type, Home windows Cellphone, iOS, Android, and so on. The clientele must make use of the consumer libraries to get connected to the SignalR hub. These client libraries are available as NuGet deals.




Sample Application

Let us construct a sample chat software that broadcasts the messages to all linked customers or to specific teams. In this instance think about the customers to become a Windows software as well as a net kind customer.


Creating an Asp.Net SignalR Hub

Open Visual Studio and develop an vacant Asp.net MVC application named MyChatApplicationServer. Now open up the NuGet deals, lookup and include Microsoft ASP.Net SignalR.

Now right click on within the venture, include the SignalR Hub class and name it as MyChatHub. Add the following code to the course.

public class MyChatHub : Hub
    {
        public void BroadcastMessageToAll(string message)
        {
            Clients.All.newMessageReceived(message);
        }
 
        public void JoinAGroup(string group)
        {
            Groups.Add(Context.ConnectionId, group);
        }
 
        public void RemoveFromAGroup(string group)
        {
            Groups.Remove(Context.ConnectionId, group);
        }
 
        public void BroadcastToGroup(string message, string group)
        {
            Clients.Group(group).newMessageReceived(message);
        }
    }

The HUB course also provides the qualities Clientele, Groups, Context and events like OnConnected, and so on.

Ultimately it's also wise to add Owin startup course to map the obtainable hubs as proven below.

    [assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(MyChatApplicationServer.Startup))]
   
    namespace MyChatApplicationServer
    {
        public class Startup
        {
            public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
            {
                app.MapSignalR();
            }
        }
    }

Pushing Data to a Web Form Client

Now create an internet form client venture named WebClient and incorporate a simple HTML file ChatWebClient.html with all the following code. Include the references towards the necessary script documents.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.0.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="http://localhost:32555/signalr/hubs/" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            var myChatHub = $.connection.myChatHub;
            myChatHub.client.newMessageReceived = function (message) {
                $('#ulChatMessages').append('<li>' + message + '</li>');
            }
            $.connection.hub.url = "http://localhost:32555/signalr";
            $.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
                $('#btnSubmit').click(function (e) {
                    myChatHub.server.broadcastMessageToAll($('#txtEnterMessage').val(), 'Web user');
                });
            }).fail(function (error) {
                console.error(error);
            });;
         
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <label id="lblEnterMessage">Enter Message: </label>
        <input type="text" id="txtEnterMessage" />
        <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Send Message" />
        <ul id="ulChatMessages"></ul>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

You'll find two ways of applying the customer function one with proxy as well as other without having. The above instance is the a single without a proxy.

In the link begin you may also point out which transport SignalR must use.
Pushing Info to a Home windows Application Consumer

Let us include a home windows application and subscribe for the SignalR host. Create a new windows software named WinFormClient and from the nugget offers install Microsoft ASP.Net SignalR .Internet consumer package deal. Within the Program.cs add the subsequent code.

    namespace WinFormClient
    {
        public partial class Form1 : Form
        {
            HubConnection hubConnection;
            IHubProxy hubProxy;
            public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                hubConnection = new HubConnection("http://localhost:32555/signalr/hubs");
                hubProxy = hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("MyChatHub");
                hubProxy.On<string>("newMessageReceived", (message) => lstMessages.Items.Add(message));
                hubConnection.Start().Wait();
            }
   
            private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                hubProxy.Invoke("BroadcastMessageToAll", textBox1.Text, "Window App User").Wait();
            }
        }
    }

When done go on and operate each the net and Windows consumer. Enter the messages and look at how the information is getting pushed throughout each the clients although they may be of a distinct character.



SignalR is able of serving several connected clients irrespective of the customer system or technology. I hope this short article offers a good sum of data about pushing information from the server to consumer using Asp.Internet SignalR.



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.



ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Bind Pages in ASP.NET

clock September 29, 2014 12:31 by author Kenny

How to Bind Pages in ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a unified Web development model that includes the services necessary for you to build enterprise-class Web applications with a minimum of coding. ASP.NET is part of the .NET Framework, and when coding ASP.NET applications you have access to classes in the .NET Framework. You can code your applications in any language compatible with the common language runtime (CLR), including Microsoft Visual Basic and C#. These languages enable you to develop ASP.NET applications that benefit from the common language runtime, type safety, inheritance, and so on.

If you are familiar with classic ASP, the declarative data binding syntax introduced in ASP.NET will be familiar to you even though the functionality is vastly different. Data binding expressions are the code you see between <%# and %> characters in an ASPX file. The expressions allow you to easily bind controls to data sources, as well as properties, expressions, and results from method calls exposed by the page. While this feature is easy to use, it often causes some confusion about what is allowed and whether it should be employed.

Data binding basics

Data binding expressions link ASP.NET page properties, server control properties, and data sources when the page's DataBind method is called. You can place data binding expressions on the value side of an attribute/value pair in the opening tag of a server control or anywhere in the page. All data binding expressions, regardless of where you place them, must be contained between <%# and %> characters.

When used with data controls (like Repeater, DataGrid, and so forth), the expression parameter is usually a column name from the data source. However, as long as it returns a value, any valid expression may be used. Likewise, the same syntax may be used outside list controls. This includes displaying values on the page or populating control attributes.

Container.DataItem is a runtime alias for the DataItem bound to a specific item. It maps to an individual item from the data source—like one row from a database query or an individual element from an array. The actual data type for the DataItem is determined by the data source. So, if you're dealing with an array of integers, the DataItem will be an integer.

The following list provides a quick review of the VB.NET syntax for various scenarios:

<%# Container.DataItem %>--An array of string values is returned.
<%# Container.DataItem("expression") %>--The specific field from a DataView container is returned.

<%# Container.DataItem.PropertyName %>--The specific string property value of data source is returned.
<%# CStr(Container.DataItem.PropertyName) %>--Returns a property value converted to its string representation.

When you're using C#, the syntax is a bit different. The following list includes the corresponding C# code for each line in the previous list. Notice the basic syntax is the same, but it changes when property values are returned and converted to the appropriate data type.

<%# Container.DataItem %>
<%# ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["PropertyName"] %>
<%# ((ObjectType)Container.DataItem).PropertyName %>
<%# ((ObjectType)Container.DataItem).PropertyName.ToString() %>

Syntax is consistent when working with page level properties and methods. The syntax remains the same as long as string values are returned. The following list provides some examples:

<%# propertyName %>--The value for a page level property is returned.
<asp:ListBox id="lstValues" datasource='<%# propertyName %>' runat="server">--The value retrieved from the page level property (array, collection of objects, etc.) is bound to the data control.

<%# (objectName.PropertyName) %>--The value of the page level object property is displayed.
<%# MethodName() %>--The value returned from the page method is displayed.

You may use individual values (albeit properties, method return values, and so forth) on a page using the following syntax:
<%= Value %>

Using the Contain.DataItem object can be tedious, since you must be aware of the data type and convert it accordingly for use. Microsoft does provide the DataBinder class to further simplify development.

Working with DataBinder

Microsoft documentation (on MSDN) states the DataBinder class uses reflection to parse and evaluate a data binding expression against an object at runtime. This method allows RAD designers, such as Visual Studio .NET, to easily generate and parse data binding syntax. This method can also be used declaratively on a Web form's page to simplify casting from one type to another.

You can use the Eval method of the DataBinder class to make .NET do the heavy lifting when using data values in an ASP.NET page. The Eval method accepts the previously covered Container.DataItem object; it works hard to figure out the details of the field identified in the expression and displays it accordingly. It has the following syntax:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "field name", "optional formatting")

The DataBinder.Eval approach is great as it pushes work to the system. On the other hand, you should use it with caution, since time and resources are consumed as the system locates the element and determines its object/data type.

Plenty of options

Data binding makes it relatively simple to include data in ASP.NET pages. There are various data binding options available, which include: binding the data to a control and allowing it to decide how it is presented, or choosing declarative data binding to control presentation within the ASP.NET page. In the end, it comes down to your preference, but it is great to have options.

ASP.NET 4.5.2 Hosting with ASPHostPortal.com :: Responsive Layout Using Bootstrap in ASP.NET

clock September 22, 2014 13:29 by author Kenny

ASP.NET Responsive Layout using Bootstrap

In this article we will explain about how to design responsive layout using bootstrap in your ASP.NET site. ASP.NET is an open source server-side Web application framework designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.

ASP.NET Responsive Layout:

Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries.

Why You Need Responsive Web Design?

Every people open website on mobile device, tablet device and desktop on different-different size that time our website layout is not good looking so web designer design the different-different website for different-different devices for good look and feel website so that process is very time taken. So reduce that process invent to “Responsive Layout” word.

Pillar of Responsive Layout:

1. Fluid Grids:

The general practice in web design is to employ fixed width layouts. It means that the page and its constituent elements have a fixed size and width and positioned around the center. Liquid layouts offer us a greater advantage with the increasing number of devices with web access. A liquid layout expands with the page.

2. Flexible Images:

Web page text is fluid by default: as the browser window narrows, text reflows to occupy the remaining space. Images are not naturally fluid: they remain the same size and orientation at all configurations of the viewport, and will be cropped if they become too large for their container. This creates a problem when displaying images in a mobile browser: because they remain at their native size, images may be cut off or displayed out-of-scale compared to the surrounding text content as the browser narrows.

3. Media Queries:

Fluid grid layouts are very important for responsive web development, but there are other issues to consider. If the width of the device becomes too narrow, like in a small mobile phone, the website design can fall apart. This is where media queries come in. These media queries are based in CSS3 and allow us to not only target the particular device classes but physical characteristics of the device which is rendering the web site.

Add these four files:

<link href="~/Content/bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="~/Content/blog.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="~/scripts/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/scripts/bootstrap-3.1.1-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Example:

Html Code

<header class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top bs-docs-nav" role="banner">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="navbar-header">
            <button class="navbar-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".bs-navbar-collapse">

                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            @Html.ActionLink("Brand", "Index", "Home", null, new { @class = "navbar-brand" })
        </div>
        <nav class="collapse navbar-collapse bs-navbar-collapse" role="navigation">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

                            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
                        </div>
                    </form>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
    </div>

Simple Way to Publish and Deploy an ASP.NET Application in IIS

ASP.NET is an open source server-side Web application framework designed for Web development to produce dynamic Web pages. It was developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. While Internet Information Services (IIS, formerly Internet Information Server) is an extensible web server created by Microsoft for use with Windows NT family. IIS supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SMTP and NNTP.

In this post, we will describe you how to publish and deploy your ASP.NET application in IIS. Actually it is so simple thing, you can publish your web application to the File System and copy paste all the files to your server. After that, you can add a new website from IIS. If you are not sure what files you should include, it's better to choose 'All files in the project' from the Package/Publish Web. Otherwise choose 'Only files needed to run this application'. You can set this by right clicking on the web application in the solution explorer and choosing 'Package/Publish Settings'.

Right click on your project in the solution explorer and choose 'Publish'. From the dialog box, as the publish method, choose 'File System'. And choose some directory as the Target Location.

You can add the website by right clicking on the 'Sites' in IIS.

Then give a name to your site and select the Physical path from where you copied the site folder
