SOLID Principles with C#

-
SOLID Principles are coding standards that all developers should have a clear concept for developing software in a proper way to avoid a bad design. S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have one, and only one, a reason to change In Single Responsibility Principle Each class and module should focus on a single task at a time Everything in the class should be related to that single purpose There can be many members in the class as long as they related to the single responsibility With SRP, classes become smaller and cleaner Code is less fragile  Here  UserAccount  class created which have below operations like, Login, Register, LogError and Send Mail. According to SRP, ideally, LogError and SendEmail are should not be part of  UserAccount  operations.      public class UserAccount     {         public bool Login( string username, ...

Applying Dynamic Themes to WebPage

-
Applying Dynamic Themes to Web Page (.aspx) in ASP.NET Themes and Skins. The themes and skins features in ASP.NET 2.0 allow for easy customization of your site's look-and-feel. You can define style information in a common location called a "theme", and apply that style information globally to pages or controls in your site. Like Master Pages, this improves the maintainability of your site and avoid unnecessary duplication of code for shared styles. protected void Page_PreInit( object sender, EventArgs e) { Page.Theme = Session[ "Theme" ] as string ?? "Theme1" ; } protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Session[ "Theme" ] != null ) { if (Session[ "Theme" ].ToString() == "Theme1" ) Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme2" ; else Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme1...

Send Email using Gmail SMTP server - ASP.NET

-
Send Email using Gmail SMTP server-ASP.NET What is an SMTP server? (pronounced as separate letters) Short for S imple M ail T ransfer P rotocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your e-mail application. Let's see one example in ASP.NET 2.0 (Web Application) In WebMailSend.aspx.cs file You have to import this namespace for MailMessage. using System.Net.Mail; protected void btnSend_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { try { MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.IsBodyHtml = true ; mail.To.Add(txtEmail.Text); mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text; mail....

ASP.NET MVC: Benefits

-
Back to Home 1) Separation of Concerns - Model: Model is associated with Views and a Controller (Bussiness Entity) - View: Views are the components that display on User Interface (UI) - Controller: Controller is an input control 2) Each component has one responsibility - SRP – Single Responsibility Principle - DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself 3) More easily testable - TDD – Test-driven development 4) Helps with concurrent development - Performing tasks concurrently - One developer works on views - Another works on controllers 5) Replace any component of the system - Interface-based architecture 6) Almost anything can be replaced or extended - Model binders (request data to CLR objects) - Action/result filters (e.g. OnActionExecuting) - Custom action result types - View engine (Razor, WebForms, NHaml, Spark) - View helpers (HTML, AJAX, URL, etc.) 7) REST-like URLs - /accounts/details ...

Variable Value in Top Statement

i want create a Procedure that behave like this: declare @cnt int set @cnt =10 select top @cnt * from sw_user Where sw_user contains 20 records, and i want the variable to be the criteria of Top statement. so i can use this for a solution for this type of problem CREATE PROC Top10 @cnt int AS SET ROWCOUNT @cnt SELECT * FROM sw_user but some cases ROWCOUNT might not be work... so what, Note : This statement however is possible in SQL 2005, just add "()" in your variable like so: declare @cnt int set @cnt =10 select top (@cnt) * from sw_user

Differences between a Structure and Class

-
1. Clas s is Reference types and Structure is Value type.   2. Clas s supports an Inheritance where as Structure not.   3. Classes are usually used for large amounts of data, whereas Structure are usually used for smaller amount of data.   4. When we instantiate a class, memory will be allocated on the heap and when Structure gets initiated it gets memory on the stack. 5. Classes can have explicit parameter less constructors. But Structure doesn't have this. 6. Classes can be garbage collector because garbage collector works on heap memory . structures can not be garbage collector so no memory management.

Introduction to ASP.Net MVC

Image
Back to Home Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a software architecture pattern. Originally formulated in the late 1970s by Trygve Reenskaug as part of the Smalltalk, MVC architecture works on code reusability and separation of concerns. It was originally developed for desktop Then adapted for internet applications. The Model is the application object, the View is UI presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user reacts to user input from UI. MODEL: - Set of classes that describe the data we are working with - Rules for how the data can be changed and manipulated - May contain data validation rules - Often encapsulate data stored in a database as well as the code used to manipulate the data Most likely a Data Access Layer of some kind VIEW: - Defines how the application’s user interface (UI) will be displayed - Support master views (layouts)  - Support sub-views (partial views or controls) - Web: Template to dynamically generate HTML CONTR...
