Posted by Jalpesh Vadgama | July 25, 2011 | ASP.NET | No comments

In this post I am going to explain how we can create fast web sites without worrying about code and other stuff. Microsoft has introduced a new web development tools called ‘WebMatrix’. It’s a free tool provided by Microsoft to create website fast.

What is WebMatrix?

Web Matrix is a free tool provided by Microsoft for website development. You can develop websites lightening fast with the help of Microsoft Web Matrix. It includes IIS express(express version of IIS) and SQL Server Compact (Compact edition of SQL Server database). It also contains lots of popular web application templates like wordpress ,blogengine etc. You can also create dynamic web pages with WebMatrix. Here is the link from where you can download WebMatrix.

What is asp.net Pages?

ASP.NET pages are one of easiest way to create websites pages. You can use Razor and all other syntax to create webpages. You can write script tag to write dynamic code and you can also write HTML in same page.

Creating Hello World application with WebMatrix

Now let’s create a very basic Hello World application without writing any dynamic code. So let’s first open WebMatrix and it will show start up page like following.

Here you will have four options My Sites, Site from Open Source Gallery, Sites from Template and Site from folder. I want to create a new site so I have clicked on Site from template. Once you click on that you will be presented to Site from template dialog where you have different options like Empty Site,Starter site,Bakery etc. like following.

As I want to create a very basic site so I have clicked Empty site.Once you click on empty site your site will be created and you will presented to following screen.

Now its time to create new page for the site. So I have clicked File->New Pages and you will be presented to page dialog like following where different options are available like HTML,CSS,Jscript,CHTML etc.

I have selected CSHTML as I want to have my site dynamic so I have one page called default.cshtml and then I have written Hello world HTML like following.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

   <head>

       <meta charset="utf-8" />

       <title></title>

   </head>

   <body>

       <h1>Hello World</h1>

   </body>

</html>

Now let's run site in browser and following is the output.

That’s it. It’s so easy. In future post I am going to write some dynamic code using Microsoft Web Matrix.Hope you like it..Stay tuned for more.. Till than happy programming..

Box Selection in Visual Studio 2010

Posted by Jalpesh Vadgama | July 22, 2011 | C#-4.0, C#.NET, VisualStudio | 4 comments

Every day I am discovering something new with Visual Studio 2010 and In this post I am again going to explain you new interesting feature of Visual Studio 2010. We all required to modify the code in bulk some time and there is a new features for Visual Studio 2010 which enables to made changes in multiple line at same time. Let’s take a simple example like following.

using System;

namespace Parallel
{
  class Program
  {
         private int a=10;
         private int b=10;
         private int c=10;

         static void Main(string[] args)
         {

         }  
  }
}

In above code I have three private variable a,b and c and now I want to make them protected. There is two way either I do manually one by one or I can do it with box selection and modify them together. It very easy to use this feature Press ALT+ SHIFT and draw box with help of mouse on the code which you need to modify like following.

Now I want to make it protected so I started writing protected and it will modify all the line at same time like following.

And now my code is like following.

using System;

namespace Parallel
{
  class Program
  {
         protected int a=10;
         protected int b=10;
         protected int c=10;

         static void Main(string[] args)
         {

         }  
  }
}

That's it. Hope you like it… Stay tuned for more…Till then Happy programming.
