This article walks you through the process of building a thin-client ASP.NET bug tracking application, with a Microsoft Access XP backend. It uses nearly every documented capability of the .NET datagrid web server control to allow you to select, edit, update, or delete any item listed in the datagrid. The Issue Tracker uses advanced features, such as reading values from lookup tables, and then conveniently providing these values to the user in Edit mode as dropdownlists. It also employs the IE Web Controls, including the Tab and MultiPane web controls, which allow you to display considerable user functionality on only one web page, yet without cluttering the user interface with confusing complexity. After working through this tutorial, you will have explored and applied all of the main functionalities of the ASP.NET DataGrid control. Happy Coding!
RSS (Rich Site Summary) news feeds are easily consumed and displayed in an ASP.NET web forms page using no more than a few lines of codes. However, listing the RSS news feed links in this fashion can take up considerable page space. Instead, it would be more convenient to display them in a small embedded window that automatically scrolls them to the user. This method substantially reduces the page real estate devoted to the news feed, while displaying the same information in a compact, attractive, and intuitive manner. Once you have developed a method for displaying RSS news in this format, it would be still more convenient to implement the method as a custom control that you can add to any ASP.NET web forms page with just a few lines of code. This article shows you how.
In this article, you will learn how to create the illusion of continuous seamless scrolling by: 1) using two datagrids to display the same listing; and 2) scrolling the entire total list, but then repeating the scrolling when it has passed over the first list.
The fact is simple: If your users are not able to easily deploy your application then whatever sophistication or features you provide, they will be unable to even experience your application from the very first place! In this tutorial we are going to show you a set of techniques by which you can package and deploy your web applications .....
This comprehensive tutorial will walk you step-by-step to create a single ASP.NET page by which you'll be able to retrieve the server name of any given web site. Explains all the code in detail. Very useful.
When developing ASP.NET applications, you may sometimes need to implement a custom validation that is recognized and displayed by the ValidationSummary control so that all validation error message appear in one place without additional coding. You also want to implement this custom validation by using page CodeBehinds, as you would like to leave the ASPX page with the miminum code necessary. This article shows you how in nine easy steps, complete with screen captures and code descriptions.
This article presents a simple method for securing your ASP.NET web pages, requiring almost no code development. In this article, you'll be introduced to the components that .NET provides that significantly reduce the amount of code you have to write in order to secure your website pages. You'll learn about Forms Authentication, User Identity, XML configuration files, and authorization tickets. And you'll learn how to store username and password information in simple XML configuration files.
Implementing help for ASP.NET Applications and for .NET Windows Forms Applications have many similarities that will be highlighted in this tutorial and the reader will be thought how to implement it in both.
If you want to run ASP.NET web applications on your local computer, you must have both Internet Information Services (IIS) and ASP.NET installed. IIS is necessary for providing web service and ASP.NET is necessary for providing handling of the family of ASP.NET web applications (ASPX, ASMX, etc). IIS is installed by default for installations of Windows 2000 and Windows XP. ASP.NET is installed by default during .NET Framework installation. However, if you attempt to install the .NET Framework on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine that doesn't have IIS installed, the .NET Framework installation will detect that IIS is not available and thus will not install ASP.NET component of the framework. If you subsequently install IIS at a later time, you will have to install ASP.NET manually.
Likewise, if you have both IIS and .NET installed on your computer, and then later un-install IIS, this uninstallation will also uninstall the ASP.NET component of the .NET Framework. If you later re-install IIS, you will have re-install ASP.NET manually.
This article walks you through the re-installation of ASP.NET for a computer already running IIS.
Mobile Devices such as cell phones with web access and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) are becoming more common. The infrastructure that supports "Wireless Web" is becoming larger and more reliable with the advent of time. Mobile devices use a different standard called "Wireless Markup Language " (WML) for consuming web pages. This article is aimed to explore some dimensions of ASP.NET Mobile Software Development kit (Mobile SDK) to create web pages with the same norms and constructs that are required for building any traditional page.
