Variable Reference Code Highlighting and Hide selection features of Visual Studio 2010.

Microsoft Visual studio 2010 is a Great IDE(Integrated Development Environment) and I am exploring everyday something new in this blog post , I am also going to explore something new with Visual Studio 2010. There are two more new features that can make developers life easier. Let’s explore that in detail.

Variable Reference Code Highlighting

It’s a new feature there in Visual studio 2010. Whenever you put the cursor on the variable it will highlight all the code where that variable used. This is a very nice features as within one shot we can see what is done with that variable in code just like following.

Hiding selected code in Visual Studio 2010

In earlier version of Microsoft Visual Studio We can collapse the method and region. But you can not collapse the particular code block but with Visual Studio 2010 code you can hide the particular selected code via right click outlining –>Hide Selection and you can highlight code lets see first following code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Blogging
{
 public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
 {
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
         if (Page.IsPostBack)
         {
             Response.Write("Page is not postback");
         }

         for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++)
         {
             Response.Write(i.ToString());
         }
     }
 }
}

Now I want to hide the following Page.IsPostBack part via right click Outlining –> Hide Selection



As you can see in above image there is –(Minus) Icon so you can collapse that code Just like region. Now you want to undo the collapsing then once again you need to select the code in editor and then right click and then select Outlining->Stop Hiding Current and then it will be treated as normal code with out collapsible block Like below.



That’s it hope you liked it.. Stay tuned for more.. Happy programming..

Checking whether page is secure or not in ASP.NET or JavaScript

Recently in one the project we require to check whether page is secure or not as we are going to open a new popup window from that page and that why we need to pass https protocol if we have that page secure. I have search lots of things on internet and I have found following ways of finding whether page is secure or not in ASP.NET or JavaScript.

In ASP.NET There are two way of doing it. Either we can use current request to check whether it is secured or not or we can use server variables to check whether it it secure or not just like following.

HttpContext.Current.Request.IsSecureConnection

Here in above code If this returns true then Page is secured otherwise it is not Or you can use following server variable to check the protocol.

Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_PROTOCOL"];

In JavaScript you can document.location.protocol to check whether page is secure or not. Just like following.

document.location.protocol=='https:'

So you can see its very easy to check whether page is secure or not. Hope you liked it… Stay tuned for more..

Union,Except and Intersect operator in Linq

While developing a windows service using Linq-To-SQL i was in need of something that will intersect the two list and return a list with the result. After searching on net i have found three great use full operators in Linq Union,Except and Intersect. Here are explanation of each operator.

Union Operator: Union operator will combine elements of both entity and return result as third new entities.

Except Operator: Except operator will remove elements of first entities which elements are there in second entities and will return as third new entities.

Intersect Operator: As name suggest it will return common elements of both entities and return result as new entities.

Let’s take a simple console application as a example where i have used two string array and applied the three operator one by one and print the result using Console.Writeline. Here is the code for that.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;


namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
 class Program
 {
     static void Main(string[] args)
     {
         string[] a = { "a", "b", "c", "d" };
         string[] b = { "d","e","f","g"};

         var UnResult = a.Union(b);
         Console.WriteLine("Union Result");
         foreach (string s in UnResult)
         {
             Console.WriteLine(s);           
         }

         var ExResult = a.Except(b);
         Console.WriteLine("Except Result");
         foreach (string s in ExResult)
         {
             Console.WriteLine(s);
         }

         var InResult = a.Intersect(b);
         Console.WriteLine("Intersect Result");
         foreach (string s in InResult)
         {
             Console.WriteLine(s);
         }
         Console.ReadLine();
        
     }

 }
}

Here is the output of console application as Expected.



Hope this will help you.. Stay tuned for more!!

ASP.NET- Using span tag instead of label for performance

In ASP.NET controls used in to the user controls are generate Client Id which unique for the control and If you have so many user controls hierarchy then you will have very long client id like ‘ctl00_CPH_ctl02_BM_userLogin_UserName’.It will increase the Kilo Bytes of html rendered in the browsers. Label control is the control which is used to display text and its render as span tag in the html render by the browser. So in such type of scenario if you have so many label controls then your html is going to increase very much. And overall it will decrease the your application performance.

In asp.net 4.0 we can manage the Client Id via different options i have already posted over here. But for asp.net 3.5 and lower version we have to write our own code for doing that there are two options either we have to create a our own custom control inherited from label which override the ClientID generated by system or we can use the span tag instead of label control because ultimately label control will be rendered as span tag in browser.

We having same scenario in the one of the project we are having so many label controls in one of the form in our page. So it is going to kill our application because rendered HTML will be heavy. So we have decided to use span tag. Now you guys are having questions that how we can manage span text from the server side we have used static string variables for to manage the text of span. Let’s create a simple example to understand how its works.

We have created a static string which will contain the text for the label. We are assigning text in page_load event of page or control then we have used that static string directly in html in between span tag which will have same style sheet as label control. Following is code for that.

protected static string UserName;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (!Page.IsPostBack)
  {
        //asssign text here for first time
        UserName = "User Name";
  }
}

Now in the html of user control or page you need to write span tax as follows.

<span class="label"><%=UserName%></span>

That’s it will render span tag in your browser with same look as label and there will not be any id generated for this span tag and ultimately your html rendered in browser will have less Kilo Bytes. We able to reduce 10 to 12 KB bytes of our page via this technique. Hope this will help you too..

Singleton Class in C#

Singleton pattern is very popular pattern used by programmer. The idea behind the singleton pattern is to have only one instance of a class at any time. This kind of pattern is very useful for for heavy resources like Linq Data Context etc. It is also useful in multithreaded application where different thread of application try to crate instance of one class but it should be thread safe. It can be also useful for global resources and state objects. In singleton class there are two things required. One static variable which hold the instance of class and other is a static method which will return the instance of singleton class. Here is the example of singleton class

 public class MySingleTon
  {
      private static MySingleTon mySingleTonInstance = new MySingleTon();

      private MySingleTon()
      {
          //private constructor
      }
      public static MySingleTon  GetInstace()
      {
          return mySingleTonInstance;
      }

  }

Now we are done with calling single ton class like following.

 MySingleTon objSingleTon = MySingleTon.GetInstace(); 

The above example is not thread safe so it may be possible that different thread can create different instance of classes. To make above singleton class thread safe we need to change code like following.

   public class MySingleTon
  {
      private static MySingleTon mySingleTonInstance = new MySingleTon();

      private MySingleTon()
      {
          //private constructor
      }
      public static MySingleTon  GetInstace()
      {
          lock (typeof(MySingleTon))
          {
              if (mySingleTonInstance == null)
              {
                  mySingleTonInstance = new MySingleTon();
              }
              return mySingleTonInstance;
          }
       
      }
   }

Hope this will help you…

Indexer class in C#

While taking interviews for Microsoft.NET i often ask about indexer classes in C#.NET and i found that most of people are unable to give answer that how we can create a indexer class in C#.NET. We know the array in C#.NET and each element in array can be accessed by index same way for indexer class a object was class can be accessed by index. Its very easy to create a indexer class in C#. First lets looks some points related to indexer class in C#.

• Indexer class object can be accessed by index only.
• We can use same mechanism to access object of indexer class as we are doing it for array.
• You can can specify any valid C# type as return type of indexer classes.
• You must have to create a property with parameter using this keyword for indexer class.
• You can also implement multi parameter indexer also.

Let’s create simple indexer class with single parameter and for string type.

 public class MyIndexer
 {
     private string[] MyIndexerData;
     private int SizeOfIndexer;

     //declaring cursor to assing size of indexer
     public MyIndexer(int sizeOfIndex)
     {
         this.SizeOfIndexer = sizeOfIndex;
         MyIndexerData = new string[SizeOfIndexer];
     }

     public string this[int Position]
     {
         get
         {
             return MyIndexerData[Position];
         }
         set
         {
             MyIndexerData[Position] = value;
         }
     }
}

Now we done with indexer class and lets create object of that indexer class and will see output of our console application also. Following is the code for that.

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
 class Program
 {
     static void Main(string[] args)
     {
         int indexSize=5;
         MyIndexer objMyIndexer = new MyIndexer(indexSize);
         for (int i = 0; i < indexSize; i++)
         {
             objMyIndexer[i] = i.ToString();
             Console.WriteLine("Indexer Object Value-[{0}]: {1}",
         i, objMyIndexer[i]);
         }
         Console.ReadKey();
     }
 }
}

and Here is the output for the indexer class console application.

Microsoft.NET 4.0/VB.NET 10 Automatic Properties

In C# we are having automatic properties since C# 3.5 framework but now with Microsoft.NET 4.0 Framework VB.NET 10.0 version we are also having automatic properties for VB.NET Also.

Like in C# we can define automatic like following.

Public string TestProperty
{
get;
set;
}

Same way we can define in automatic Property in VB.NET as follows.

Public Property TestProperty As String 

You can use this properties any where in class same as C# automatic property.

Visual Studio 2010- New Features Selected Text.

I am loving more and more visual studio 2010 for some of the cool things. One of the new feature i have found in visual studio 2010 is the selected text. In the earlier version of visual studio 2010 when we select tax then its not maintaining the highlighted code but with visual studio 2010 it is maintain the colored syntax. Isn't that cool?. We can still know that what we are selecting. Like following.

Extend your existing classes with extension method in asp.net 3.5

In asp.net 3.5 there is one good features called extension method now you can extend your functionality without modifying existing classes. Extension method allow developers to add own functionality to any existing classes. You don't need to create subclass or don't need to recompile existing classes and still you can extend that class with extension methods. Let's create an example to extend existing string classes to convert a simple string to bold html string.

public static class MyExtensions
{
public static string ConvertToBold(this string mystring)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder myBoldString =new System.Text.StringBuilder(string.Empty);
myBoldString.Append("<strong>");
myBoldString.Append(mystring);
myBoldString.Append("</strong>");
return myBoldString.ToString();  
}
}

So now our extension method is ready. Following the sample code to use this extension method.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string helloWorld = "Hello World";
Response.Write(helloWorld.ConvertToBold());
}

While running application you can out like below.

Client Id of a control in ASP.NET 4.0.

Client Id is used to store the id of a server control in client side. ASP.NET Engine creates a very long client id to unique identify each element on the same page. If you are having so many inner controls hierarchy then asp.net will generate very long client id like “ctl00_Ctl001_ctl02_BM_Login_btnSave” here i i have used control name like ctrl00,ctr001,bm etc. If you are having long control name then it will more longer then this. This will increase html kilobytes for the pages and if you are having so many server controls in the page then it will take time to load in browser and will decrease performance of application . To overcome this problem we have to override existing asp.net controls like textbox,label etc and then you have override client id from server side with server side id. Now with asp.net 4.0 you can control client id generated by .net framework. In asp.net 4.0 there is one another property called ClientIdMode which will control the behavior of client id generated by .net framework. Like following.

<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" ClientIDMode="[Mode]" />

There are four types of different mode for ClientIdMode property.

1. Legacy- This is the same as in old version. It will generate client like like “ctl00_Ctl001_ctl02_BM_Login_btnSave” in old fashion.
   


2. Inherit-This is the default mode for every control . It will refer parent control to have its clientidmode. If you want to change it then you have to specify your client id mode for that control.
   


3. Static –This mode will put client id as static if you set server id like “btnSave” then it will generate the same ld like “btnSave”. So if you want to use this mode then you have to make sure that you are having all unique name in one pages. Otherwise it will be a mess for ids.
   


4. Predictable- This mode will used when the framework needs to ensure uniqueness of each control in particular way. The framework traverse from the control to parent controls and put hierarchy of parent control id with control id like ‘”ctrl0_btnsave” and for another btnsave its like “ctrl0_ctrl1_btnsave” etc.

Partial Types, Class and Method in C#.NET 3.0/2.0

With C# 2.0 Microsoft has added partial keyword in C#. So what is partial keyword used for. Lets go through the partial keyword in greater detail.

First and foremost use of the partial keyword is the you can declare one class or method with more then one declaration and at the compilation time it will have one complete class.So now you can declare a class more then one file at the compile time it will be treated as one class.

For example this is one class

//first file Patial Class
public class partial PartialClass
{
   public void First()
   {
     //First function
   }
}

 Here is the another class

public class partial PartialClass
{
   public void Second()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
}

Now at the compile time it will be treat as single class like following.

public class PartialClass
{
   public void First()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
   public void Second()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
}

Same way you can use partial method it will treated as one method as compile time. Partial method will only available with C# 3.0. It will not be available to C# 2.0.

Practical Usage Of Partial Class:

There are lots of way where partial class is useful like many developer can work on same class via creating different files. There are lost of code generators available in market so you can extend the class functionality via marking them partial. Partial class can also be used for the manage code in separate files instead of creating large files. With C# 3.5 linq to sql designer uses this concept to split custom behaviors outside mapping class.

Increase Performance in asp.net application

For every enterprise level application the key to make that application success is the responsiveness of application. ASP.NET also offers great deal of the features for developing web based enterprise application but some times due to avoiding best practice to write application the performance of application performance of application is not so fast as it should be. Here are the some use full suggestion to make your application super fast.

1. Always set debug=”false” in web.config production environment.
2. Always set trace=”false” in web.config production environment
3. If you are using asp.net 2.0 or higher version then always use precompiled version of your code and also prefer web application project over website. If you are using website then always publish it and then upload that precompiled version of your site in production environment.
4. Always compile your project in Release Mode before uploading application to production environment.
5. Decrease your html kb as much as you can for that use tables less html using div’s and if possible then do not give big name to your control it will increase your html kb as asp.net uses client Id to differentiate all the controls. If you are creating custom controls then you can overwrite your clientid and uniqueId.
6. Use cache api as much as possible it will decrease your server roundtrip and boost application performance. ASP.NET 2.0 or higher version provides functionality called sqlcachedependancy for your database caching. It will validate cache with your database operation like insert,update and delete and if not possible with it then use the file base caching.
7. Remove blank spaces from your html it will increase your kb. You can use regular expression to remove white spaces. I will post the code for removing white spaces next posts.
8. For asp.net 2.0 and higher version use master pages. It will increase your performance.
9. Prefer database reader over dataset unless and until you have specific reason to use database.
10. Use ADO.NET asynchronous calls for ado.net methods. asp.net 2.0 or higher version is supporting your performance. If you are using same procedure or command multiple time then use ADO.NET Prepare command it will increase your performance.
11. Do IIS performance tuning as per your requirement.
12. Disable view state for your controls if possible. If you are using asp.net 2.0 or higher version then use asp.net control state instead of view state. Store view state in session or database by overriding the default methods for storing view state.
13. User Server.Transfer instead of response.redirect.
14. Always use inproc session state if possible.
15. Use Ajax for your application wisely. Lots of Ajax calls for a page will also decrease your performance.
16. Measure your application performance with tools like redgate profiler,firebug and whyslovw from yahoo.
17. User System.Text.StringBuilder for string concatenation its 4 times more faster then the normal strings.
18. Right JavaScript in .Js files and place it as bottom of the application.
19. Use Separate CSS files for styling of application.
20. User database paging over normal paging while displaying huge amount of data.
21. Call web service from java script instead of server side. Use asynchronous calls to call a web method from web service.

That’s it!!…..Happy Programming..

What is LINQ? LINQ Developer Resources

LINQ is Language Integrated query. It is a integral part of visual studio 2008 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. It is object to database mapping technology thorough which you can query any type of collections of object,XML of database.

 

Recently I am goggling about the LINQ and I have found following great resources for developers:

How to convert a class library project into web application? What is web application? Difference between website and web application?

Web applications are there Visual Studio.Net 2003. After launch of Visual studio.Net Microsoft has introduced a new concept like website. But after huge demands community Microsoft has reintroduced Microsoft web applications project which is very similar to webapplication in vs.net 2003. With visual studio.net 2008 you will have both the options webapplication and website to create asp.net application. First we discuss the difference between it.

 

Difference between webapplication and website.

The main difference is that website project can be complied on the fly. You need to compile every time when you changed the code. While in webapplication you have compile solutions and create binary files(.DLL) in the code then you can have new code effect in application.It will have all the code in bin folder as DLL.

Website project can be opened without a project solution file while webapplication projects can not opened without a solutions.

 

A website usually refers to the front-end interface through which the public interact with your business online.Website's are typically informational in nature with a limited amount of advanced functionality. Simple websites consist primarily of static content where the data displayed is the same for every visitor and content changes are infrequent. More advanced websites may sport features such as Commerce, content management and interactive content.

Where AS A web application or Rich Internet Application (RIA) usually includes a website component but features additional advanced functionality to replace or enhance existing business processes. The interface design objective behind a web application is to simulate the intuitive, immediate interaction a user experiences with a desktop application.

Web applications frequently integrate with existing business IT infrastructure such as accounting packages, stock management systems, ERP, etc.

 

You can download web application projects for visual studio 2005 from the following location.

Automated Testing for ASP.NET- NUnit ASP

We all developing asp.net application using Microsoft.net and as a human being we all can't kept track of each and everything. We meant to have some error in our code. We call them bugs. Bugs can be removed via testing. Some time testing take more time then expected, so we have to use the automated testing tool to test your asp.net applications.

I have found a great automated testing framework for asp.net. It is a great thing which can do the test and find bugs.

Overview

NUnitASP is a tool for automatically testing ASP.NET web pages. It's an extension to NUnit, a tool for test-driven development in .NET.

Once you have an automated suite of tests, you'll never go back. It gives you incredible confidence in your code. That confidence allows you to code much faster, because you can make risky changes secure in the knowledge that your tests will catch any mistakes.

NUnitAsp is for unit testing ASP.NET code-behind only. It's meant for programmers, not QA teams, and it's not very good for QA-style acceptance tests. It only tests server-side logic. JavaScript and other client-side code is ignored. But if you're using ASP.NET, it's an essential part of your programmers' toolset.

Here is the URL from which you can download the framework.
