In the October and December 2000 .NET columns, I examined the fundamentals of types. This month I'll take a look at some of the special members that a type can define. These members encourage good object-oriented design while greatly simplifying the syntax required to manipulate a type and its object instances....

Now that Microsoft has released Visual Studio .NET Beta 1, many of you have started to take a closer look at .NET. Make no mistakeâ?".NET is a completely new platform. There's been quite a bit of noise about key features such as ASP .NET and ADO .NET. But as far as I'm concerned, one of the best things about .NET is that it solves the nastiest programming problem of allâ?"memory corruption and leaks....

In January I looked at how to compose ASP.NET server-side controls from other standard controls. The example I offered was a Fahrenheit-to-Centigrade converter composed of two textboxes and two edit controls. However, rather than composing the server-side control from several standard controls as I did in the January issue, this month I'll render one on the fly. In this column I'll take a closer look at server-side controls, especially with respect to round-trips between the browser and the serv...

The concept of data binding was first introduced with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0. Used in conjunction with Dynamic HTML (DHTML), it was a rather effective way to have a set of records asynchronously downloaded to the client. Through Internet Explorer 4.0 data binding, Web developers could issue remote calls to data providers and manipulate the returned data in its native formatâ?"the recordsetâ?"rather than plain text. Furthermore, a browser-specific declarative syntax allowed fields of t...

Last month (March 2001) I covered the basic techniques of binding ASP.NET server controls to fields of Microsoft® .NET managed data sources. In particular, I focused on the main features of the DataGrid control, which is probably the richest of all the ASP.NET list-bound controls. Unless you have very special needs, using a DataGrid is as easy as binding the .NET data source with the control and setting the size of the page. The control is capable of auto-generating the columns and exposes a wi...

Web Forms have the potential to change Web programming by introducing a new programming model built around server-side controlsâ?"a model in which controls render their own UIs by generating HTML to return to clients and firing events that are handled by server-side scripts. Since all the action takes place on the Web server, virtually any browser can run a Web Forms app. And thanks to Visual Studio.NET, building a Web Forms app is a lot like using Visual Basic: just drop a control onto a form t...

One of the key improvements in ASP .NET over classic ASP is the introduction of server controls. When you want to use a control from the Microsoft® .NET Framework as a server control, you must mark it with the runat=server attribute to make it visible toâ?"and programmable onâ?"the server....

ASP .NET has lots to offer developers over previous versions of ASP. One of the major benefits of ASP .NET is its native server-side controls. This month I will investigate the two kinds of ASP .NET server-side controls: HTMLControls and WebControls. I'll also focus on the motivation for them....

XML has quickly become the new data structure standard for everything from database access to cross-platform computing. XML is typically considered to be a vehicle for data exchange, dynamic data presentation, and data storage. However, the potential of XML far surpasses those limited applications. This article examines one new use: the gathering of data across a number of forms in an ASP .NET Beta 1 framework application. The sample program is a Web app used for ordering pizza. It uses ASP and ...

As you may have guessed from looking at the top of this page, the House of COM column that appeared in the May 2001 issue was my last column on COM (I have already started the bidding war on eBay for that soon-to-be-collector's edition). Dedicated readers may have noticed that I haven't been using the column to write about COM per se for some time. Rather, for the past three years, my work has been shifting to encompass other software integration/component technologies, such as the Common Langua...

Last month (November 2001) I concluded that in ASP.NET, caching is the key to performance if you want to exploit Web controls and maintain optimal server response times. Caching relates directly to applications that can work disconnected from the data source. Not all applications can afford this. Applications that work in a highly concurrent environment that need to detect incoming changes to data can't be adapted to work disconnected. However, there are scenarios where you have a large block of...
