In last month's column I began an ambitious project: building a SQL Server™-specific DataNavigator control that supports two-way data binding. The control I'll present in this column, SqlDataNavigator, is just an extension of last month's DataNavigator. The SqlDataNavigator ASP.NET control described here is meant to be the Microsoft® .NET counterpart of the Data control—an old Visual Basic® control that caused its share of headaches. The control moves from one record to the next according to a g...

Personalizable applications let users set their UI preferences and store those settings. Desktop applications typically store the user preferences in a local file (an XML or a configuration file) or in the registry. Web applications, on the other hand, generally use cookies to store user-specific data. Cookies are essentially a text-based key-value collection sent and received via HTTP. There are a few disadvantages to using cookies—chiefly their size limit (8KB), the user's ability to refuse co...

Sometimes you need more than just static images on your Web site—you may want to create images dynamically. Thanks to GDI+, ASP.NET 1.x makes it easy to generate images programmatically. The ASP.NET infrastructure can output images read from a source file, and can also retouch them in memory before outputting them. While this gives programmers enough power to build effective one-off solutions, it requires them to reinvent the wheel every time a new system is needed....

Last month I demonstrated an easy way to add theme support to ASP.NET 1.1 applications (see Cutting Edge: Dress Your Controls for Success with ASP.NET 1.1 Themes). I wrote an XML file to represent the theme settings and then I compiled it into a Visual Basic® .NET class and into a C# class using a tool I wrote in Visual Basic. Finally, I added the resulting file to a Web project. Once compiled to a class file, theme settings are used to configure control properties using strongly typed, early-bo...

The vast majority of Web applications consume data of some sort, and one of the most common uses of ASP.NET is to bind that data to user interface elements. ASP.NET 1.x provides extremely flexible, generic data binding optimized for performance and can give developers full control of the page lifecycle. Any collection of data that implements the IEnumerable interface (such as the DataView), or any objects that support the members of the IListSource interface (such as DataSet and DataTable), can ...

Imagine that you need to build an intranet site that allows everyone in your organization to view reports and other information based on their login. Imagine also that each user must be able to personalize the site, adding and removing modules that interest them and customizing pieces like weather or news sources to suit their locale and interests. Now think about how you would do this with ASP.NET 1.1 and Visual Studio® .NET 2003, and without any third-party software or tools. How much time do ...

If you're a seasoned ASP.NET developer, the mere mention of view state probably sends shivers down your spine, as you envision kilobytes of base64-encoded data being sucked through a cocktail straw. Unless you take steps to prevent it, most ASP.NET pages will have a significant amount of supplemental data stored in a hidden field named __VIEWSTATE that in many cases is not even necessary. For fun, surf to your favorite sites built with ASP.NET, view the sources of the pages, and count the number...

In the first installment of this article in the July 2004 issue, we examined the architecture of SharePoint® Products and Technologies. You saw that Windows® SharePoint Services (WSS) supplies a facility for building collaborative Web sites. Microsoft® Office SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) 2003, which is part of the Office System, complements WSS by adding features designed to assist users in navigating through the otherwise disconnected WSS-delivered SharePoint sites, as well as vast amounts of...

As you move forward with your use of ADO.NET, you'll need to know how to approach situations that you previously learned to handle in ADO and now have to tackle with ADO.NET. Just as n-tiered solutions developed using Visual Basic®, C++, and ASP often rely on ADO for their data access needs, Windows® Forms, Web Forms, and Web services rely on ADO.NET. Last month's Data Points column discussed how to tackle several data access scenarios using ADO.NET from the perspective of developing with tradit...

One of the most compelling improvements that ASP.NET brought to ASP programming was the Cache object. The Cache has some similarities to the Application object and is a container of global data (as opposed to session-specific data) that features a fair number of innovative characteristics. At its core, the ASP.NET Cache is a sealed data container class built around a hashtable and defined in the System.Web.Caching namespace. The Cache object is central to the whole ASP.NET infrastructure. Variou...
