Implement a simple captcha in C# .NET

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

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

• Include the following code in “BuildCaptcha.aspx"

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

There you go you can test the page with captcha. Happy Programming

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);

Introduction:

Here I will explain how to export data from sql server to excel in asp.net using c# or export data from sql server database to excel in asp.net using c#.

Description:

Now I will explain to you, how to export data from sql server to excel in asp.net using c#.
Before implement this example first design one table UserInformation in your database as shown below
Once table created in database enter some dummy data to test application after that write the following code in your aspx page

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head runat="server">
    <title>Export data from sql server database to excel in asp.net using c#</title>
  </head>
      <body>
      <form id="form1" runat="server">
         <div>
            <asp:Button ID="btnExport" Text="Export Data" runat="server" onclick="btnExport_Click" />
         </div>
       </form>

      </body>
</html>

Now open code behind file and write the following code :

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 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 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>

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

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.

The vNext tag has been placed on the next version of ASP.NET MVC 6. ASP.NET vNext will be optimized for the cloud, which means applications will (or should) have only the pieces that it needs. In addition, it promises more flexible componentization and better class performance and startup times. An interesting twist is ASP.NET vNext will be an open source project as part of the .NET Foundation. In addition, the .NET compiler platform "Roslyn" is open sourced as well.

.NET vNext support true side-by-side deployment. If your app is using cloud-optimized subset of .NET vNext, you can deploy all of your dependencies including the .NET vNext (cloud optimized) by uploading bin to hosting environment. In this way you can update your app without affecting other applications on the same server. ASP.NET vNext will let you deploy your own version of the .NET Framework on an app-by-app-basis.

MVC, Web API and Web Pages have been merged into one framework, called MVC 6. This will follow common programming approach between all these three i.e. a single programming model for Web sites and services.

ASP.NET vNext includes new cloud-optimized versions of MVC, Web API, Web Pages, SignalR, and Entity Framework. The advantage of using the Cloud Optimized Framework is that you can include a copy of the Core (or Mono) CLR with your website. You no longer have to upgrade .NET on the entire machine for the sake of one website. You can even have different versions of the CLR for different websites running side by side.

.NET vNext use the Roslyn compiler to compile code dynamically. You will be able to edit a code file, refresh the browser, and see the changes without rebuilding the project.

.NET vNext is open source and cross platform. Not only is Microsoft planning for cross-platform deployment, they are also enabling cross-platform development. Batch files for the major platforms such as OS X and Linux will be provided so that you can package and deploy ASP.NET vNext projects without needing Windows and Visual Studio.

MVC 6 has no dependency on System.Web since it was quite expensive. A typical HttpContext object graph can consume 30K of memory per request and working with small JSON-style requests this is very costly. With MVC 6 it is reduced to roughly 2K. The result is a leaner framework, with faster startup time and lower memory consumption.

ASP.NET vNext apps are cloud ready by design. Services such as session state and caching will adjust their behavior depending on hosting environment either. It is cloud or a traditional hosting environment. It uses dependency injection behind the scenes to provide your app with the correct implementation for these services for cloud or a traditional hosting environment. In this way, it will easy to move your app from on-premises to the cloud, since you need not to change your code.

vNext is host agnostic. You can host your app in IIS, or self-host in a custom process. (Web API 2 and SignalR 2 already support self-hosting; ASP.NET vNext brings this same capability to MVC.)

ASP.NET vNext has new project extension project.json to list all the dependencies for the application and astartup class in place of Global.asax.

Dependency injection is built into the framework. Now, you can use your preferred IoC container to register dependencies.

Web hosting provider ASPHostPortal.com (www.asphostportal.com) announced this week that it has support of ASP.NET MVC 6.0 Hosting. The ASP.NET MVC 6.0 Framework is the latest evolution of Microsoft’s ASP.NET web platform. ASP.NET MVC 6 represents a fundamental change to how Microsoft constructs and deploys web frameworks. The goal is to create a host agnostic framework that eliminates the dependencies on the legacy System.Web infrastructure.

Included in MVC 6 is Web API and Web Pages, allowing Microsoft to remove a lot of the overlap between the three frameworks. One result of this change means that MVC will be self-hosting just like Web API 2 and SignalR 2. MVC 6 has no dependency on System.Web since it was quite expensive. A typical HttpContext object graph can consume 30K of memory per request and working with small JSON-style requests this is very costly. With MVC 6 it is reduced to roughly 2K. The result is a leaner framework, with faster startup time and lower memory consumption.
