ASP.NET Basics


ASP.NET is a server side technology for developing web based applications based on Microsoft .Net  Framework. ASP.NET is run on the web server. When a user click on a page/website link on a web browser, a request is sent to the web server. The web server reads the code and generates a web page . The web page is then sent to the browser where the client reads this page. Since the processing is on the server, it is called 'Server Side technology'.

Features of ASP.NET:
  1. It lets you write server side code using over 40 languages. Most popular being C# and VB
  2. ASP.NET pages are compiled, not interpreted
  3. It has full access to the functionality  of .Net Framework... XML, web services, database interaction, emails, regular expression
  4. You can separate server side code of your page from HTML layout
  5. Easy to reuse common User Interface elements

An ASP.NET page generally consists of the following:
1. Directive: Controls how page is compiles , how page is cached by web browser, error fixing, import classes. It start with <%@, followed by directive name, attribute,value and ends with %
example: 
<%@ Page Languauge = "VB" %> 
<% Import Namespace = "System.Web.Mail" %>
<% Register TagPrefix = "xx" TagName = "name", src = "footer.ascx">    // to register a user control
2. Code declaration block: Contains all application logic between <script>   </script> tags
eg: <script language = "VB" runat = "server">          
// code here
</script>
3. Code Render block: defines inline code or expression that will execute when page will render
<% Dim title as string = "example" %>
<%= title %>
4. ASP.NET server controls
5. Server Side comments. These are different from client side comments, as they do not get displayed in the client code
6. literal text and HTML tags

In short, ASP.NET pages are simply text files that have .aspx file extension. When a client requests a ASP.NET page, the web server passes the page to ASP.NET runtime. ASP.NET runtime reads the page and compiles it into .NET class. This class is then used to produce HTML that is sent back to the user. Each new request to the same page, need not go through all the steps and can respond directly.

Sql Server database Read_Only / Read_Write

The ALTER DATABASE command allows a database administrator to modify SQL Server databases and their files and filegroups. This includes permitting the changing of database configuration options. Why Read Only ? When you need to ensure that the data is a database is not modified by any users or automated processes, it is useful to set the database into a read-only mode. Once read-only, the data can be read normally but any attempts to create, updated or delete table rows is disallowed. This makes the read-only mode ideal when preparing for data migration, performing data integrity checking or when the data is only required for historical reporting purposes. Make Database Read Only USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_ONLY  WITH  NO_WAIT GO Make Database Read/Write USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_WRITE  WITH  NO_WAIT GO In case you get the following error message make the database single user: Msg 5070, Level 16, Stat

Do's and Don't SQL

Do's: Writing comments whenever something is not very obvious, as it won’t impact the performance.  (--) for single line  (/*…*/) to mark a section Use proper indentation Use Upper Case for all SQL keywords. SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, INNER JOIN, AND, OR, LIKE. Use BEGIN... END block for multiple statements in conditional code  Use Declare and Set in beginning of Stored procedure Create objects in same database where its relevant table exists otherwise it will reduce network performance. Use PRIMARY key in WHERE condition of UPDATE or DELETE statements as this will avoid error possibilities. If User table references Employee table than the column name used in reference should be UserID where User is table name and ID primary column of User table and UserID is reference column of Employee table. Use select column name instead of select * Use CTE (Common Table Expression); its scope is limited to the next statement in SQL query, instead of temporary tables and der
