Image
Life cycle when the page processed during a postback The events associated with the relevant page cycle phases are: Page Initialization: Page_Init View State Loading:LoadViewState Postback data processing: LoadPostData Page Loading: Page_Load PostBack Change Notification: RaisePostDataChangedEvent PostBack Event Handling: RaisePostBackEvent Page Pre Rendering Phase: Page_PreRender View State Saving: SaveViewState Page Rendering: Page_Render Page Unloading: Page_UnLoad The processing sequence in which a page is processed during a postback event is: Initializing: During this phase, the server creates an instance of the server control Loading view state: During this phase, the view state of the control posted by the client is reloaded into the new instance of the control.

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, ...

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....

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...
