Send Email Using Gmail in ASP.Net

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 02:59:00 +0000

To send email using gmail in asp.net, write this code in click event of button

C# code

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

   MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

   mail.To.Add("jainamit.agra@gmail.com");

   mail.To.Add("amit_jain_online@yahoo.com");

   mail.From = new MailAddress("jainamit.agra@gmail.com");

   mail.Subject = "Email using Gmail";

    string Body = "Hi, this mail is to test sending mail"+

                  "using Gmail in ASP.NET";   mail.Body = Body;

    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

   SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

   smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //Or Your SMTP Server Address

   smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential

        ("YourUserName@gmail.com","YourGmailPassword");

 //Or your Smtp Email ID and Password

   smtp.EnableSsl = true;   smtp.Send(mail); }

VB.NET code

Imports System.Net.Mail

   Protected  Sub Button1_Click (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

   Dim mail As MailMessage =  New MailMessage()

    mail.To.Add("jainamit.agra@gmail.com")

   mail.To.Add("amit_jain_online@yahoo.com")

   mail.From = New MailAddress("jainamit.agra@gmail.com")

   mail.Subject = "Email using Gmail"

     String Body = "Hi, this mail is to test sending mail"+

                  "using Gmail in ASP.NET"   mail.Body = Body

     mail.IsBodyHtml = True

   Dim smtp As SmtpClient =  New SmtpClient()

    smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com" //Or Your SMTP Server Address

   smtp.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential

        ("YourUserName@gmail.com","YourGmailPassword")

   smtp.EnableSsl = True

   smtp.Send(mail)

 End Sub

You also need to enable POP by going to settings > Forwarding and POP in your gmail account

Change YourUserName@gmail.com to your gmail ID and YourGmailPassword to Your password for Gmail account and test the code.

If your are getting error mentioned below
"The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required."

than you need to check your Gmail username and password.

If you are behind proxy Server then you need to write below mentioned code in your web.config file

<system.net>

 <defaultProxy>

 <proxy proxyaddress="YourProxyIpAddress"/>

 defaultProxy>

If you are still having problems them try changing port number to 587

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com,587";

If you still having problems then try changing code as mentioned below

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

smtp.Port = 587;

smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = False;

smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential

  ("YourUserName@gmail.com","YourGmailPassword");

smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail);

This will definitely helps you.

Speed Optimization in ASP.NET 2.0 Web Applications

Page and Server Controls

The following topics give you an idea about how to use pages and controls efficiently in your web application:

Use HTML controls whenever possible

HTML controls is lighter than server controls especially if you are using server controls with its default properties. Server controls generally is easier to use than HTML controls, and on the other side they are slower than HTML controls. So, it is recommended to use HTML controls whenever possible and avoid using unnecessary server controls.

Avoid round trips to server whenever possible

Using server controls will extensively increase round trips to the server via their post back events which wastes a lot of time. You typically need to avoid these unnecessary round trips or post back events as possible. For example, validating user inputs can always (or at least in most cases) take place in the client side. There is no need to send these inputs to the server to check their validity. In general you should avoid code that causes a round trip to the server.

The Page.IsPostBack Property

The Page.IspostBack Boolean property indicates whether this page is loaded as a response to a round trip to the server, or it is being loaded for the first time. This property helps you to write the code needed for the first time the page is loaded, and avoiding running this same code each time the page is posted back. You can use this property efficiently in the page_load event. This event is executed each time a page is loaded, so you can use this property conditionally to avoid unnecessary re-running of certain code.

Server Control's AutoPostBack Property

Always set this property to false except when you really need to turn it on. This property automatically post back to the server after some action takes place depending on the type of the control. For example, in the Text Control this property automatically post back to the server after the text is modified which is a great deal of processing cost and hence much slower performance and most importantly a poor user experience.

Leave Buffering on

It is important to leave page buffering in its on state to improve your page speed, unless you have a serious reason to turn it off.

Server Controls View State

Server control by default saves all the values of its properties between round trips, and this increases both page size and processing time which is of course an undesired behavior. Disable the server control view state whenever possible. For example, if you bind data to a server control each time the page is posted back, then it is useful to disable the control's view state property. This reduces page size and processing time.

Methods for redirection

There are many ways you can use to redirect a user from the current page to another one in the same application, however the most efficient methods to do this are: the Server.Transfer method or cross-page posting.

Web Applications

The following topics give you some tips about how to make an efficient web application:

Precompilation

When an already deployed ASP.NET web application page is requested for the first time, that page needs to be compiled (by the server) before the user gets a response. The compiled page or code is then cached so that we need not to compile it again for the coming requests. It is clear that the first user gets a slow response than the following users. This scenario is repeated for each web page and code file within your web site.

When using precompilation then the ASP.NET entire web application pages and code files will be compiled ahead. So, when a user requests a page from this web application he will get it in a reasonable response time whatever he is the first user or not.

Precompiling the entire web application before making it available to users provides faster response times. This is very useful on frequently updated large web applications.

Encoding

By default ASP.NET applications use UTF-8 encoding. If your application is using ASCII codes only, it is preferred to set your encoding to ASCII to improve your application performance.

Authentication

It is recommended to turn authentication off when you do not need it. The authentication mode for ASP.NET applications is windows mode. In many cases it is preferred to turn off the authentication in the 'machin.config' file located on your server and to enable it only for applications that really need it.

Debug Mode

Before deploying your web application you have to disable the debug mode. This makes your deployed application faster than before. You can disable or enable debug mode form within your application's 'web.config' file under the 'system.web' section as a property to the 'compilation' item. You can set it to 'true' or 'false'.

Coding Practices

The following topics give you guidelines to write efficient code:

Page Size

Web page with a large size consumes more bandwidth over the network during its transfer. Page size is affected by the numbers and types of controls it contains, and the number of images and data used to render the page. The larger the slower, this is the rule. Try to make your web pages small and as light as possible. This will improve response time.

Exception Handling

It is better for your application in terms of performance to detect in your code conditions that may cause exceptions instead of relying on catching exceptions and handling them. You should avoid common exceptions like null reference, dividing by zero , and so on by checking them manually in your code.

The following code gives you two examples: The first one uses exception handling and the second tests for a condition. Both examples produce the same result, but the performance of the first one suffers significantly.

    8         ' This is not recommended.
    9         Try
   10             Output = 100 / number
   11         Catch ex As Exception
   12             Output = 0
   13         End Try
   14
   15         ' This is preferred.
   16         If Not (number = 0) Then
   17             Output = 100 / number
   18         Else
   19             Output = 0
   20         End If

Garbage Collector

ASP.NET provides automatic garbage collection and memory management. The garbage collector's main task is to allocate and release memory for your application. There are some tips you can take care of when you writing your application's code to make the garbage collector works for your benefit:

Avoid using objects with a Finalize sub as possible and avoid freeing resources in Finalize functions.
Avoid allocating too much memory per web page because the garbage collector will have to do more work for each request and this increases CPU utilization (not to mention you can go out of memories in larger web applications)
Avoid having unnecessary pointers to objects because this makes these objects alive until you free them yourself within your code not in an automatic way.

Use Try / Finally

If you are to use exceptions anyway, then always use a try / finally block to handle your exceptions. In the finally section you can close your resources if an exception occurred or not. If an exception occurs, then the finally section will clean up your resources and frees them up.

String Concatenation

Many string concatenations are time consuming operations. So, if you want to concatenate many strings such as to dynamically build some HTML or XML strings then use theSystem.Text.StringBuilder object instead of system.string data type. The append method of the StringBuilder class is more efficient than concatenation.

Threading

If your application contains some operation that consumes time and resources, then instead of blocking the application flow awaiting for this process or operation to be finished it is recommended to create a separate thread for this blocking operation. By threading you will save your application normal flow from delays. Examples of time consuming operations that can be moved to another thread other than the main program thread are: querying on a database and waiting for results, and extensive IO operations.

SQL SERVER – UDF – Function to Convert Text String to Title Case – Proper Case

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:11:00 +0000

Following function will convert any string to Title Case. I have this function for long time. I do not remember that if I wrote it myself or I modified from original source.

Run Following T-SQL statement in query analyzer:

SELECT dbo.TitleCase('This function will convert this string to title case!')

The output will be displayed in Results pan as follows:

This Function Will Convert This String To Title Case!

T-SQL code of the function is:

CREATE FUNCTION TitleCase (@InputString VARCHAR(4000) ) RETURNS VARCHAR(4000) AS BEGIN DECLARE @Index INT DECLARE @Char CHAR(1) DECLARE @OutputString VARCHAR(255) SET @OutputString = LOWER(@InputString) SET @Index = 2 SET @OutputString = STUFF(@OutputString, 1, 1,UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString,1,1))) WHILE @Index <= LEN(@InputString) BEGIN SET @Char = SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index, 1) IF @Char IN (' ', ';', ':', '!', '?', ',', '.', '_', '-', '/','&','''','(') IF @Index + 1 <= LEN(@InputString) BEGIN IF @Char != '''' OR UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index + 1, 1)) != 'S' SET @OutputString = STUFF(@OutputString, @Index + 1, 1,UPPER(SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index+ 1, 1))) END SET @Index = @Index + 1 END RETURN ISNULL(@OutputString,'') END

Error Logging using ASP.NET 2.0

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:19:00 +0000

Errors and failures may occur during development and operation of a website. ASP.NET 2.0 provides tracing, instrumentation and error handling mechanisms to detect and fix issues in an application.

In this article, we will adopt a simple mechanism to log errors and exceptions in our website. We will be using a mechanism where the user will be redirected to a separate page whenever an error is encountered in the application. Simultaneously, the error will get logged in a text file on the server. The error file will be created on a daily basis, whenever the error is encountered. Having said that, let us now see some code.

Step 1: Start by creating an Error folder where all errors will be logged. Right click the website > New Folder. Rename the folder to “Error”. Also add a web.config file, if one does not already exist in your site. Right click the website > Add New Item > Web.config.

Step 2: Now we will create the error handler code. To do so, right click your website > Add New Item > select Class. Rename the class to ‘ErrHandler.cs’ and click on ‘Add’. When you do so, you will be prompted with a message to place the class in ‘App_Code’ folder. Accept the message to place the class in the 'App_Code' folder.

Step 3: Now let us add functionality to the ErrHandler class. This class will accept the error message and write the message in a text file. One text file will be created for each day. If the text file already exists, the message will be appended to the text file. If not, a new text file will be created based on today’s date and error message will be written in it.

The code will look similar to the following:

/// Handles error by accepting the error message

/// Displays the page on which the error occured

public static void WriteError(string errorMessage)

{

try

{

string path = "~/Error/" + DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-mm-yy") + ".txt";

if(!File.Exists(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path)))

{

File.Create(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path)).Close();

}

using (StreamWriter w =File.AppendText(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path)))

{

w.WriteLine("\r\nLog Entry : ");

w.WriteLine("{0}",DateTime.Now.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

string err = "Error in: " + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString() +

". Error Message:" + errorMessage;

w.WriteLine(err);

w.WriteLine("__________________________");

w.Flush();

w.Close();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

WriteError(ex.Message);

}

VB.NET

''' Handles error by accepting the error message

''' Displays the page on which the error occured

Public Shared Sub WriteError(ByVal errorMessage As String)

Try

Dim path As String = "~/Error/" & DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-mm-yy") & ".txt"

If (NotFile.Exists(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path))) Then

File.Create(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path)).Close()

End If

Using w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path))

w.WriteLine(Constants.vbCrLf & "Log Entry : ")

w.WriteLine("{0}", DateTime.Now.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))

Dim err As String = "Error in: " & System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString() & ". Error Message:" & errorMessage

w.WriteLine(err)

w.WriteLine("__________________________")

w.Flush()

w.Close()

End Using

Catch ex As Exception

WriteError(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

That was our ErrHandler class. We will now see how to use this Error Handler class and handle errors at the page level as well as at the application level.

Handling errors at Page Level

In the Default.aspx, drag and drop a button from the toolbox. Rename this button to btnError and set the Text as ‘Throw Handled Exception’. Here we will throw an exception. Since we have a catch block defined, the exception will be caught and the error will be logged in the Error folder. Since a text file with today’s date, does not exists, a new text file will be created by the code.

The button click handler will look similar to the following:

protected void btnHandled_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

throw new Exception("Sample Exception");

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

// Log the error to a text file in the Error folder

ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message);

}

VB.NET

Protected Sub btnHandled_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e AsSystem.EventArgs) Handles btnHandled.Click

Try

Throw New Exception()

Catch ex As Exception

' Log the error to a text file in the Error folder

ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

Now with the code in place, run the application and click on the button. Since we have handled the error and logged the exception in our code, you will not notice anything when the button is clicked. However, close the application and refresh the Error folder. You will see a new text file created with today’s date. The exception has been logged successfully as shown below. The date and time will differ on your machine.

Log Entry :

01/11/2008 23:33:46

Error in: http://localhost:51087/ErrorHandling/Default.aspx. Error Message:Sample Exception

__________________________

Redirecting users on unhandled errors

Let us see how to catch unhandled errors and redirect the user to a different page, whenever such an unhandled error occurs at the application level.

To catch unhandled errors, do the following. Add a Global.asax file (Right click project > Add New Item > Global.asax). In the Application_Error() method, add the following code:

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

// Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

string err = "Error in: " + Request.Url.ToString() +

". Error Message:" + objErr.Message.ToString();

// Log the error

ErrHandler.WriteError(err);

}

VB.NET

Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

' Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

Dim objErr As Exception = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException()

Dim err As String = "Error in: " & Request.Url.ToString() & ". Error Message:" & objErr.Message.ToString()

' Log the error

ErrHandler.WriteError(err)

End Sub

We capture the error using the Server.GetLastError(). Now to redirect users to a different page whenever an unhandled error occurs, open your web.config file and locate the <customErrors> tag and uncomment it. After removing the comment, the tag will look similar to the following code:

<!--

The <customErrors> section enables configuration

of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs

during the execution of a request. Specifically,

it enables developers to configure html error pages

to be displayed in place of a error stack trace. -->

<customErrorsmode="RemoteOnly"defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">

<errorstatusCode="403"redirect="NoAccess.htm" />

<errorstatusCode="404"redirect="FileNotFound.htm"/>

</customErrors>

Now change:

mode="RemoteOnly"tomode="On"

defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm" todefaultRedirect="ErrorPage.aspx"

The modified code will now look like this:

<customErrorsmode="On"defaultRedirect="ErrorPage.aspx">

<errorstatusCode="403"redirect="NoAccess.htm" />

<errorstatusCode="404"redirect="FileNotFound.htm"/>

</customErrors>

This configuration will now redirect the user to an Error page when an error occurs. Let us create this error page and display some message to the user.

Right Click Project > Add New Item> Create a new ErrorPage.aspx page in the application and display a sample message on the page informing the user that an error has occurred.

To test our functionality, go back to Default.aspx, add another button and rename it to btnUnhandled and set its Text property to ‘Throw Unhandled Exception’. Here instead of throwing the exception as we did for ‘btn_Error’, we will introduce a ‘Divide By Zero’ exception and not handle it. Observe that there is no try catch block as shown below. So when the error occurs, the user will be redirected to the ‘ErrorPage.aspx’ as a result of the changes made in our web.config file.

protected void btnHandled_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

throw new Exception("Sample Exception");

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

// Log the error to a text file in the Error folder

ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message);

}

VB.NET

Protected Sub btnUnhandled_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e AsSystem.EventArgs) Handles btnUnhandled.Click

Dim i As Integer = 1

Dim j As Integer = 0

Response.Write(i \ j)

End Sub

Run the application and click on the ‘Throw Unhandled Exception’ button. You will observe that the user will be automatically redirected to the Error Page and the error will be logged in the Error folder. Well that’s it.

In this article, we saw how to implement a simple error logging system in our application. Logging errors can be very useful and helps us detect errors during development and operation of a website. ASP.NET also provides some advanced options titled under ‘Health Monitoring’ where the errors can be stored in Sql Server or even emailed to the administrator based on the criticality of it.

Adding Meta Tags to the Head in ASP.NET 2.0

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:56:00 +0000

How to dynamically add meta tags in ASP.NET 2.0

The HtmlMeta class is provided for just that. You can easily create a HtmlMeta object and add it to the Controls collection in the HtmlHead class exposed via Page.Header. Here's a few samples:

// Render: <meta name="keywords" content="Some words listed here" />

HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();

meta.Name = "keywords";

meta.Content = "Some words listed here";

this.Header.Controls.Add(meta);

// Render: <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

meta = new HtmlMeta();

meta.Name = "robots";

meta.Content = "noindex";

this.Header.Controls.Add(meta);

// Render: <meta name="date" content="2006-03-25" scheme="YYYY-MM-DD" />

meta = new HtmlMeta();

meta.Name = "date";

meta.Content = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");

meta.Scheme = "YYYY-MM-DD";

this.Header.Controls.Add(meta);

How to upload an image using ASP.NET

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Introduction

This article is for beginners who want to learn how to upload images.

Step 1

First add the following HTML tag :-

<input id="Upload" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 104px; WIDTH: 288px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 64px; HEIGHT: 22px" type="file"
size="28" name="Upload" runat="server">

This control will upload your image.

Step 2

Create a Button called "Upload" and another called "LoadImage". Add the DataGrid and do required bindings.

Step 3

Lets see some sample code now.

    private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
     //It verifies if the archive exists

     if (Upload.PostedFile != null)
     {
         //To create a PostedFile

         HttpPostedFile File = Upload.PostedFile;

         //Create byte Array with file len

         byte[] Data = new Byte[File.ContentLength];
         //force the control to load data in array

         File.InputStream.Read(Data,0,File.ContentLength);
          
         int i = 0;

         //Dysplay array data in textbox

         for (i=0;i//Create procedure parameter

         object[] obj = new object[1];

         obj[0] = Data;

         //Execute the procedure with Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data

         //Simple procedure

         /*CREATE PROCEDURE sp_img(@img image)  AS

         insert into tb_img values(@img)*/

         //record data

         SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(connectionString,"sp_img",obj);    

     }
 }

 private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
     //Bind data to your grid

     //more details consulting

     //Working DataGrid TemplateColumns and Bind this Columns

     DataSet ds = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(connectionString,
         "sp_load_img",null);
     grid.DataSource  = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
     grid.ObjectName = "Image1";
     grid.FieldName = "img";
     grid.Editable = false;
     grid.DataBind();
     grid.DataBindObjects(grid,ds,0,grid.PageSize);

     int i =0;

     for (i=0;i0].Rows.Count;i++)
     {
                     //test your bitmap is valid

                     //Demonstration

         byte[] bits = (byte[]) ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]
             ["img"];
         MemoryStream memorybits = new MemoryStream(bits);
         Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(memorybits);
     }


 }

 private void grid_PageIndexChanged(object source,
        System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridPageChangedEventArgs e)
 {
     //Page your grid

     //Bind data to your grid

     //more details consulting

     //Working DataGrid TemplateColumns and Bind this Columns

     grid.CurrentPageIndex =e.NewPageIndex;
     DataSet ds = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(connectionString,
         "sp_load_img",null);
     grid.DataSource  = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
     grid.ObjectName = "Image1";
     grid.FieldName = "img";
     grid.Editable = false;
     grid.DataBind();
     grid.DataBindObjects(grid,ds,e.NewPageIndex,grid.PageSize);
  
 }
}

ASP.NET Data Controls: Data Repeater

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:09:00 +0000

The Repeater control performs a very common function that most Web developers have encountered in their projects. Very often you need to display records from a database, and most likely you would use a FOR loop to write the HTML code so that the records can be displayed within a table. Using the Repeater control, this process can very easily be automated.

Using the Repeater Control

The repeater control can be found within the Toolbox in Visual Studio .NET

Simply drag and drop the control onto the Web Form. To customize the Repeater control, switch to HTML view

Simply drag and drop the control onto the Web Form. To customize the Repeater control, switch to HTML view

It have five standard templates named:
<HeaderTemplate>, <ItemTemplate>, <SeparatorTemplate>, <AlternatingItemTemplates> and <FooterItem>

Let's now add the <HeaderTemplate>, <ItemTemplate>, <SeparatorTemplate>, <AlternatingItemTemplates> and <FooterItem> elements to our Repeater control:

<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#ffcc99">
<th>ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr bgcolor="#ffcccc">
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_id") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_fname") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_lname") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "address") %></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<AlternatingItemTemplate>
<tr bgcolor="#ccff99">
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_id") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_fname") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_lname") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "address") %></td>
</tr>
</AlternatingItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

What I will do is to bind the Repeater control to a DataSet (we will do this shortly). To populate each row of the table with a record from the DataSet, I used:

In this case, "au_id" refers to the name of a column in the DataSet.

Finally, add a SqlDataAdapter control to your project and connect it to the Authors table within the Pubs database. In the Page_Load event, add in the following codes:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim ds As New DataSet
SqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.CommandText = _
"SELECT * FROM Authors"
SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(ds, "employee_record")
Repeater1.DataSource = ds
Repeater1.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

The <separatortemplate> element allows you to inject a separator between rows of records. For example, you might wish to insert a horizontal rule between records, as the following shows:

...
</ItemTemplate>

<SeparatorTemplate>
<tr>
<td><hr></td>
<td><hr></td>
<td><hr></td>
<td><hr></td>
</tr>
</SeparatorTemplate>

<AlternatingItemTemplate>

You can also add Button controls to a Repeater. For example, you might use a Button control to represent an Author ID, and when the button is clicked, display more information about the author.

Let's modify our HTML source to include a Button control. Change the line (there are a total of two such lines in our HTML source):

<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_id") %></td>

to:

<td><asp:Button CommandName="ID"
Text=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_id") %>
runat=server/></td>

The above line will add a Button control within the Repeater control. The CommandName property is used to uniquely identify the button; if there is more than one Button control, each control must have a different CommandName.

Next, we need to modify the <asp:Repeater> element so that it knows which event to fire when the Button control is clicked. We need to specify the OnItemCommand property, indicating the event to service when the button is clicked:

<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1"
OnItemCommand="Button_ItemCommand" runat="server">

Lastly, code the routine for the Button_ItemCommand event:

Sub Button_ItemCommand(ByVal Sender As Object, _
ByVal e As RepeaterCommandEventArgs)
If e.CommandName = "ID" Then
Response.Write("ID selected is " & _
CType(e.CommandSource, Button).Text())
End If
End Sub

ASp.Net 2.0 GridView Delete Button Confirmation pop-up

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 02:06:00 +0000

While using GridView in asp.net pages wants to confirm the deletion form user. To do this we can take him to another page having GUI to confirm and then delete the record on that page.

Instead of doing so much hardwork you can achieve this on the same page with a little bit of extra code.

Workaround

Add a client alert script to the delete button of every row.
In the delete event of GridView delete the record.

How to add alert Javascript coding for Gridview?

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:51:00 +0000

Sometimes we need to confirm from the client side, whether to proceed for deletion operation or not? We can use this code snippet to add that alert box to the user.

Declarations:
'none

Code:
Protected Sub gvcat_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvcat.RowDataBound

' This block of code is used to confirm the deletion of current record.
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
Dim l As Object
' e.Row.Controls(4) is Delete button.
l = e.Row.Controls(4)
l.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return confirm('Are you sure to delete?')")
End If
End Sub

GridView Delete, with Confirmation

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:49:00 +0000

Introduction
Everyone likes a confirmation that lets them know that a record is being deleted. In this article, I will show you how you can prompt confirmation boxes when you delete a record from the GridView control.
Implementing the Confirmation Feature
The first thing that you need to do is to attach the JavaScript confirmation code to the delete column of the GridView control. This can be done in the Row_DataBound event of the GridView control. The Row_DataBound event is fired whenever the row is attached to the GridView. Hence, this is fired when the GridView is building for the first time or even when the page is reloaded.
Let's see the HTML part of the GridView code:
<asp:GridView DataKeyNames="CategoryID" ID="GridView1"
runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand"
OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted" OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting">
<columns>
<asp:boundfield datafield="CategoryID" headertext="CategoryID">
<asp:boundfield datafield="CategoryName" headertext="CategoryName">
<asp:templatefield headertext="Select">
<itemtemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1"
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CategoryID") %>'
CommandName="Delete" runat="server">
Delete</asp:LinkButton>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</columns>
</asp:GridView>
As you can see from the above code, I have three columns in the GridView. Columns CategoryID and CategoryName are the bound columns, and the column Delete is a template column. The command argument is set as the CategoryID which means that whenever the LinkButton is clicked, it will pass CategoryID as an argument. The CommandName is set to "Delete".
The CommandName property is very important. If you have a LinkButton or a Button control inside the template column of the GridView control and the CommandName property is set to "Delete", then apart from GridView_RowCommand event, the GridView_Row_Deleting event is also fired.
Now, let's see the GridView_RowBound event where I attach the JavaScript code to every LinkButton.
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender,
GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
LinkButton l = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton1");
l.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:return " +
"confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this record " +
DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "CategoryID") + "')");
}
}
In the above code, I checked whether the GridView row is a DataRow, and if it is, I simply attach some JavaScript code using the Attributes.Add method.
Catching the Primary Key of the Clicked Row
Now that you have successfully attached the JavaScript code to the GridView control, all that is left is to catch the primary key of the row which you have clicked so that you can perform further operations (like deleting the row). Remember what I said about a LinkButton or a Button control with the CommandName set to "Delete"? If you don't, read the text in the box again.
The CommandName property is very important. If you have a LinkButton or a Button control inside the template column of the GridView control and the CommandName property is set to "Delete", then apart from the GridView_RowCommand event, the GridView_Row_Deleting event is also fired.
Now, since our LinkButton's CommandName is set to "Delete", it means we have two choices of getting the primary key from the GridView. We can do this in the RowCommand event, or we can do this in the Row_Deleting event. I am going to show you both of them.
Catching the primary key in the RowCommand event
This is pretty simple. All you need to do is to get the value from the CommandArgument property which you have already set to the CategoryID.
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender,
GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
{
// get the categoryID of the clicked row
int categoryID = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// Delete the record
DeleteRecordByID(categoryID);
// Implement this on your own :)
}
}
e.CommandArgument returns object so you need to convert it to int as I have done above.
Catching the primary key in the Row_Deleting event
Let's see how we can catch the primary key of the clicked row in the Row_Deleting event.
runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand"
OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
OnRowDeleted="GridView1_RowDeleted"
OnRowDeleting="GridView1_RowDeleting">protected void GridView1_RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
int categoryID = (int) GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value;
DeleteRecordByID(categoryID);
}
In the above technique, you must set the DataKeyNames property of the GridView to "CategoryID". The GridView1.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value property gets the CategoryID out of the row which is clicked.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK - Silverlight and ASP.NET Revealed (Apress)

Silverlight 1.1 is a revolutionary browser plug-in that allows developers to create rich web pages. Like Adobe Flash, Silverlight supports event handling, two-dimensional drawing, video playback, and animations. Unlike Flash, Silverlight is tailored to .NET developers. Most impressively, Silverlight 1.1 applications can execute pure C# code.
The most exciting part of Silverlight is its cross-platform support. When Silverlight 1.1 is released, it will support a range of modern web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari), and it will run on a variety of operating systems (including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux). Essentially, Silverlight 1.1 will be a scaled-down, browser-hosted version of .NET. Although Silverlight 1.1 is still a long way from release, it's already generating more interest than any new Microsoft technology since .NET 1.0. Silverlight and ASP.NET Revealed provides a valuable preview that explores the alpha release of Silverlight 1.1. In it, you'll examine how you can integrate Silverlight content in an ASP.NET application, and you'll get a head start on Microsoft's next great innovation.

Calling Stored Procedures from ASP.NET and VB.NET

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:53:00 +0000

Let us see how can we create and call Stored procedures, in a .NET Environment, i.e Visual Studio.We use .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 for all the examples.

Creating Stored Procedures

Writing stored procedures has never been easy as Microsoft has almost integrated SQL Server with Visual Studio 2005. In the past most of the developers has wondered can’t we have a good editor for creating stored procedures. One of the main advantage of creating procedures in Visual Studio is it creates the basic stub for you and further more, it has inbuilt syntax checking which makes the job easier for us.

In order to create a stored procedure from Visual Studio, first you need to create a data connection from the Server Explorer and follow the below steps.

Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2005.

Step 2: Create a VB.NET / C# Windows / Web Application Project.

Step 3: Open the Server Explorer by Selecting View -> Server Explorer

Step 4: Create a Data Connection to your server you can do this by Right Clicking on the Data Connection Tree and Selecting “Add New Connection”.

Step 5: It will Prompt for the Provider Type you can select .NET SQL Server Provider as it gives more performance.

Step 6: After giving all the credentials once the connection is active expand the database that you are having.

Step 7: Expand the Stored Procedure Tree.

Step 8: To Create a New Procedure Right Click and Select “Add New Procedure”.

Step 9: The IDE will give you a Stub where you can replace the Name of the Procedure and Arguments.

Those who are familiar with Visual Studio IDE would love to create procedures here rather then doing it in Query Analyzer or in SQL Enterprise Manager, though it doesn’t provide any fancy auto complete drop downs its still the best I believe to create stored procedures.

TIP: The Maximum number of parameters in a stored procedure is 2100.

Calling Stored Procedure

Hope everyone have used SQLCommand / OLEDB Command objects in .NET. Here we can call stored procedures in two different forms, one without using parameter objects which is not recommended for conventional development environments, the other one is the familiar model of using Parameters.

In the first method you can call the procedure using Exec command followed by the procedure name and the list of parameters, which doesn’t need any parameters.

Example:

Dim SQLCon As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
SQLCon.ConnectionString = "Data Source=Server;User ID=User;Password=Password;"
SQLCon.Open()

Calling Stored Procedures with Exec command

SQLCmd.CommandText = "Exec SelectRecords 'Test', 'Test', 'Test'"
SQLCmd.Connection = SQLCon 'Active Connection

The second most conventional method of calling stored procedures is to use the parameter objects and get the return values using them. In this method we need to set the “SQLCommandType” to “StoredProcedure” remember you need to set this explicitly as the the default type for SQLCommand is SQLQuery”.

Here is an example to call a simple stored procedure.

Example - I (A Stored Procedure Returns Single Value)

In order to get XML Results from the Stored Procedure you need to first ensure that your stored procedure is returning a valid XML. This can be achieved using FOR XML [AUTO | RAW | EXPLICIT] clause in the select statements. You can format XML using EXPLICIT Keyword, you need to alter your Query accordingly

'Set up Connection object and Connection String for a SQL Client
Dim SQLCon As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
SQLCon.ConnectionString = "Data Source=Server;User ID=User;Password=Password;"
SQLCon.Open()

SQLCmd.CommandText = "SelectRecords" ' Stored Procedure to Call
SQLCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure 'Setup Command Type
SQLCmd.Connection = SQLCon 'Active Connection

The procedure can be called by adding Parameters in at least two different methods, the simplest way to add parameters and respective values is using

SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("S_Mobile", "Test")
SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("S_Mesg", "Test")
SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("LastMsgID", "")

In this above method, you doesn’t necessarily know the actually data type that you had in your procedure and all parameters are validated according to the type declared in your procedure but only thing is all the validations will occur in SQL and not in your client code.

We still need to declare the last parameter as Output and we need to do that explicitly as the default type is Input. So here we are going to declare the last parameter as Output by

SQLCmd.Parameters("LastMsgID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Outputfs

If you want to declare parameters properly then you need to use the below method to add all the parameters with its data type, direction. Also if you are using stored procedures to update all the rows in a dataset then you need to declare parameters in the below fashion and give SouceColumn value as the Column name in the DataTable.

SQLCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("S_Mobile", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10, ParameterDirection.Input, False, 30, 0, "", DataRowVersion.Current, "91000000000"))

SQLCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("S_Mesg", SqlDbType.VarChar, 160, ParameterDirection.Input, False, 30, 0, "", DataRowVersion.Current, "Calling Stored Procedures from VB.NET"))

SQLCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("LastMsgID", SqlDbType.BigInt, 5, ParameterDirection.Output, False, 5, 0, "", DataRowVersion.Current, 0))

' The Above Procedure has two input parameters and one output parameter you can notice the same in the “Parameter Direction”
SQLCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() 'We are executing the procedure here by calling Execute Non Query.

MsgBox(SQLCmd.Parameters("LastMsgID").Value) 'You can have the returned value from the stored procedure from this statement. Its all similar to ASP / VB as the only difference is the program structure.

Example - II (Stored Procedure to get Table Result Set)

In order to get the result sets from the stored procedure, the best way is to use a DataReader to get the results. In this example we are getting the results from the Stored Procedure and filling the same in a DataTable.

Here we need to additionally declare a SQLDataReader and DataTable

Dim SQLDBDataReader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
Dim SQLDataTable As New DataTable

SQLCmd.CommandText = "GetAuthors"
SQLCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
SQLCmd.Connection = SQLCon
SQLCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("AuthorName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100, ParameterDirection.Input, False, 30, 0, "", DataRowVersion.Current, "Y%")) SQLDBDataReader = SQLCmd.ExecuteReader() SQLDataTable.Columns.Add("AuthorName", GetType(Int32), "") SQLDataTable.Columns.Add("AuthorLocation", GetType(String), "")

Dim FieldValues(1) As Object 'A Temporary Variable to retrieve all columns in a row and fill them in Object array

While (SQLDBDataReader.Read)
SQLDBDataReader.GetValues(FieldValues)
SQLDataTable.Rows.Add(FieldValues)

End While

Example - II (Calling Simple Stored Procedure to get XML Result Set)

CREATE PROCEDURE GetRecordsXML (@AuthorName varchar(100))
AS

Select Author_ID, Author_Name, Author_Location Where Author_Name LIKE @AuthorName from Authors FOR XML AUTO

RETURN

When you use the above procedure you can get XML Results with TableName as Element and Fields as Attributes

Dim SQLXMLReader As Xml.XmlReader

SQLCmd.CommandText = "GetAuthorsXML"
SQLCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
SQLCmd.Connection = SQLCon
SQLCmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("AuthorName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100, ParameterDirection.Input, False, 30, 0, "", DataRowVersion.Current, "Y%"))
SQLDBDataReader = SQLCmd.ExecuteReader()

SQLXMLReader = SQLCmd.ExecuteXmlReader()
While (SQLXMLReader.Read)
MsgBox(SQLXMLReader.ReadOuterXml)
End While

You can further process this XML or write XSL to display results in a formatted manner. But in order to get formatted XML Results, we need to use EXPLICIT case.

JavaScript - Cross Browser Modal Dialog Box

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:53:00 +0000

The following JavaScript code snippet demonstrates how to create a wide variety of modal dialog boxes. The first block of JavaScript code can be put into a generic .js script file. The second JavaScript block contains a couple of wrapper samples for creating a yes, no, cancel option as well as a yes, no, maybe option to demonstrate that you can create an unlimited number of customized dialogs. You'll probably want to create a few standard options and put them in your own generic .js script file. It is pretty easy to force the window to be modal. We'll attack the issue in both the window.opener and the modal dialog window itself. In the window.opener, we'll use the window.setInterval() method to repeatedly check to see if our globally defined winmodal window is open. If so, we'll set its focus by using window.focus(). To avoid any extra window minimization of the modal dialog window, we'll call window.focus() in the dialog window body tag's onblur() event. When we launch the modal dialog window, we'll also include the name of the method we want called when an option is selected by the user and the window is closed. Notice how I opted to use eval() to dynamically fire the passed in JavaScript method when the window is closed to handle the business logic when the user selects a response. Unlike typical modal dialogs in windows, you have to separate out the code the launches the window and the code that reacts to the response into two separate JavaScript functions.I believe you'll find this to be an effective way to create modal dialog windows. In fact, it even handles the user clicking on non IE windows and then attempting to return to the window.opener or if the user tries to close the browser window by right clicking on it while in a minimized state. I hope you found this little snippet helpful.

JavaScript: Alert.Show(message) from ASP.NET Code-behind

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:29:00 +0000

In highly interactive websites and intranet sites, you probably want to let the users know what's going on when they delete, save, export etc. on the site.

Those kinds of status messages are widely used and are often implemented by a JavaScript alert box on the web page. ASP.NET doesn't natively support JavaScript functions from the code-behind files. You manually have to print out a script tag and add the alert() call to it.

As easy as it may be, the extensive use of the alert() status message though out a website calls for a unified and simple implementation in order to avoid duplicate code - a centralized method.

In Windows Forms it is very easy to pop up a status message by calling MessageBox.Show("message"). It is that kind of object model we want in ASP.NET for printing out JavaScript alerts. We want Alert.Show("message") in ASP.NET.

Such a thing doesn't exist so we have to create it our selves.

I've written a static class called Alert with one public method called Show. The implementation is as simple as can be. Just put the .cs file in the App_Code folder on your website and you instantly have access to the method from all pages and user controls.

using System.Web; using System.Text; using System.Web.UI;

///

/// A JavaScript alert
///

public static class Alert
{

///

/// Shows a client-side JavaScript alert in the browser.
///

/// The message to appear in the alert.
public static void Show(string message)
{
// Cleans the message to allow single quotation marks
string cleanMessage = message.Replace("'", "\\'");
string script = "";

// Gets the executing web page
Page page = HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler as Page;

// Checks if the handler is a Page and that the script isn't allready on the Page
if (page != null && !page.ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("alert"))
{
page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(Alert), "alert", script);
}
}
}

Demonstration

That class of only 30 lines of code enables us to add a JavaScript alert to any page at any time. Here is an example of a Button.Click event handler that uses the method for displaying status messages.

void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { SaveSomething(); Alert.Show("You document has been saved"); } catch (ReadOnlyException) { Alert.Show("You do not have write permission to this file"); } }

C++ Server Pages (CSP)

noreply@blogger.com (WebTeks) — Fri, 23 May 2008 09:38:00 +0000

The power of C++ brought to the web! C++ Server Pages is the most powerful web engine ever, enabling C++ programmers to build superior web applications fast and easy.

Download examples
Awards

Free Download

Download a free, fully functional
copy of C++ Server Pages Engine
and unleash the power of C++
over the Web!

Newly added features!

Now supports Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2 for Windows

Built-in file upload mechanism

Support for MIME format messages

Top reasons for choosing C++ Server Pages:

Incredible processing power for your web applications.

Use your existing C++ code by just including it in your script.

Use your dynamic or static libraries by simply importing them.

Make direct system calls and build phenomenal web applications.

Use the CSP framework and write robust, pointer free scripts.

Supports industry leading compilers.

Save your system resources.

Works with both Microsoft IIS and Apache for Windows.

Description:

C++ Server Pages (CSP) is a Web Engine for advanced Web Application Development, that uses blended Markup Language / C++ scripts ( such as HTML/C++, XML/C++, WML/C++ etc.)

Similar to ASP and JSP, it provides a great easiness in creating web pages with dynamic content, as well as complex business applications.

However, instead of Java, Javascript or VBscript, it uses C++.

This brings some significant advantages:

Incredibly high processing efficiency. Benchmarks have shown a range of 80 to 250 times higher processing speed than ASP.

The use of pure C++ allows the use of tons of libraries that are currently available. It is important to notice that the libraries written in C++ are tens or hundreds of times more than in any other language.

It is widely accepted that the most skilled programmers in the IT market are the C++ ones. However, CGI, ISAPI and other frameworks where C++ applies, do not provide the web developer with facilities for efficient application development. As a result, until now, Web Development could not take advantage of the best programmers.

The processing efficiency of CSP allows the use of affordable systems even for complex Web Applications with heavy algorithms.

The ability of making direct system calls, allows the development of advanced web applications that are impossible with ASP and JSP. For example, it is possible for a CSP page to use multiple threads and do blocking tasks (credit card check, database queries etc.) simultaneously and hence faster, whereas such an accomplishment is only a dream for other technologies.

Achievements - Characteristics:

The CSP engine for MS IIS and Apache for Windows is based on ISAPI Extension technology and Apache module API, which provide the CSP Engine with great efficiency through IIS's or Apache's thread pooling.

An automatic pre-compiler has been developed that interprets the CSP blended code to pure C++. A great weight was given to the pre-compiler robustness so that it can assure error free C++ outputs.

The compilation of the C++ outputs, currently, is carried out by Microsoft C++ Compiler, by Borland C++ Compiler or by GNU C++ Compiler. This fact, in combination with the pre-compiler robustness, can assure the quality of the final executable modules (.dll outputs).

The pre-compilation and compilation take place automatically with error information, when a change on the CSP files occurs. In contrary to ISAPI and CGI applications, there is no waste of time for manual compilation of the CSP code, substantially increasing the speed of development and deployment.

The fact that in CSP the content of pages is produced from execution of a binary (.dll output) and not from interpretation of a script, as in ASP, is the main reason for the incredibly higher processing speed of CSP (100+ times faster than ASP).

The core of the engine supports configurable module pooling and sub-engine pooling. These features provide less per request overhead, smart use of system resources, and high robustness.

Intrinsic Objects (Response, Request, Session etc) have been developed in order to provide the basic functionality that a dynamic content Web Page needs. The design of the objects is as compatible as possible with the ASP objects, so that existing ASP developers will be familiar and existing ASP applications can be easily migrated to CSP. Also, the prototyping of these objects has a cross platform design.

Besides the intrinsic objects, the CSP framework provides many other highly optimized classes, such as high performance string class, thread class, thread safe object pool class, transaction classes, e-mail class, content template class and more.

The CSP Framework has been designed in such a way so that the developer can build applications without using pointers at all, making the code clearer and eliminating pointer related bugs.

The CSP engine is designed with multiple levels of Exception Handling. This is a very important feature that increases the robustness of the CSP engine and the Web Server, since unhandled exceptions may cause the web server to malfunction.

The CSP engine can run under COM+ or MTS. This provides the ability of working in a transactional environment, increasing the ability of creating large scale and robust business applications. Also, a couple of easy to use classes help the developer in using transactional objects or designing transactional classes by just inheriting.

Regarding the rules of the code blending, the syntax of the HTML/C++ code, is identical to the ASP's HTML/JScript or HTML/VBScript scripting.

An important limitation of the syntax above is eliminated, by the introduction of a "global scope section". Within this section, the developer, can include files, define additional functions, classes, and global variables, or insert compiler and linker directives as well, using pure C++ code (and not any other weird and unfamiliar syntax). Additionally, since the .dll modules are pooled, "start-up" and "clean-up" sections are introduced so that specific tasks can be performed when a module is loaded and unloaded.

CSP gives you the ability of separating HTML from C++ code, by using content template files and a special Template class. This feature provides a) the ability of maintaining very long scripts, which could be very confusing when HTML, client side javascript and server side C++ is blended, and b) the ability of creating automated content by other tools (for example visual development tools).

The CSP Engine comes with a Management Console which provides easy configuration of the engine and supports optimization choices.

A new performance feature is supported by CSP. Existing CSP pages can automatically be converted to static pages. This feature reduces the use of resources and increases the performance. This feature is very useful for pages like "Tickers" and "Catalogues" that are heavily used but rarely updated, reducing the database workload.

After exhaustive performance tests of many millions of HTTP requests, the engine has proven absolute stability.
