Microsoft ASP.NET 4 Step by Step

Microsoft ASP.NET 4 Step by Step By George Shepherd
Publisher: Microsoft Press 2010 | 640 Pages | ISBN: 0735627010 | PDF | 10 MB

This book shows you how to write Web applications using Microsoft ASP.NET 4, the most current version of the Microsoft HTTP request processing framework. Web development has come a long way since the earliest sites began popping up on the Internet in the early 1990s. The world of Web development offers several choices of development tools. During the past few years, ASP.NET has evolved to become one of the most consistent, stable, and feature rich frameworks available for managing HTTP requests.

ASP.NET, together with Microsoft Visual Studio, includes a number of features to make your life as a Web developer easier. For example, Visual Studio offers several project templates that you can use to develop your site. Visual Studio also supports a number of development modes, including using Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) directly to test your site during development, using a built-in Web server, and developing your site over an FTP connection. With the debugger in Visual Studio, you can run the site and step through the critical areas of your code to find problems. With the Visual Studio Designer, you can develop effective user interfaces by dropping control elements onto a canvas to see how they appear visually. And when you are ready to deploy your application, Visual Studio makes it easy to create a deployment package. These are but a few of the features built into the ASP.NET framework when paired with Visual Studio.

The purpose of this book is to tell the story of ASP.NET development. Each section presents a specific ASP.NET feature in a digestible format with examples. The stepwise instructions yield immediate working results. Most of the main features of ASP.NET are illustrated here using succinct, easily duplicated examples. The examples are rich to illustrate features without being overbearing. In addition to showing off ASP.NET features by example, this book contains practical applications of each feature so that you can apply these techniques in the real world. After reading this book and applying the exercises you’ll have a great head start into building real Web sites that include such modern features as AJAX, WCF services, custom controls, and master pages.

This book is organized so that you can read each chapter independently for the most part. With the exception of Chapter 1, “Web Application Basics,” and the three chapters on server-side controls (Chapters 3 to 5), which make sense to tackle together, each chapter serves as a self-contained block of information about a particular ASP.NET feature. In addition, for the sake of completeness, Chapter 1 also includes information about how IIS and ASP.NET interact together.

Who This Book Is For
This book is targeted at several types of developers:

* Those starting out completely new to ASP.NET The text includes enough back story to explain the Web development saga even if you’ve developed only desktop applications.
* Those migrating from either ASP.NET 1.x, 2.0, 3.x, or even classic ASP The text explains how ASP.NET 4 is different from earlier versions of ASP.NET. It also includes references explaining differences between ASP.NET and classic ASP.
* Those who want to consume ASP.NET how-to knowledge in digestible pieces You don’t have to read the chapters in any particular order to find the book valuable. Each chapter stands more or less on its own (with the exception of the first chapter, which details the fundamentals of Web applications—you might want to read it first if you’ve never ventured beyond desktop application development). You might find it useful to study the chapters about server-side controls (Chapters 3 to 5) together, but it’s not completely necessary to do so.

Professional ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB

Professional ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB By Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, Devin Rader
Publisher: Wrox 2010 | 1539 Pages | ISBN: 0470502207 | PDF | 23 MB

This book was written to introduce you to the features and capabilities that ASP.NET 4 offers, as well as to give you an explanation of the foundation that ASP.NET provides. We assume you have a general understanding of Web technologies, such as previous versions of ASP.NET, Active Server Pages 2.0/3.0, or JavaServer Pages. If you understand the basics of Web programming, you should not have much trouble following along with this book’s content.If you are brand new to ASP.NET, be sure to check out Beginning ASP.NET 4: In C# and VB by Imar Spaanjaars (Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2010) to help you understand the basics.

In addition to working with Web technologies, we also assume that you understand basic programming constructs, such as variables, For Each loops, and object-oriented programming.

You may also be wondering whether this book is for the Visual Basic developer or the C# developer. We are happy to say that it is for both! When the code differs substantially, this book provides examples in both VB and C#.

This book explores the 4 release of ASP.NET. It covers each major new feature included in ASP.NET 4 in detail. The following list tells you something about the content of each chapter.

* Chapter 1, ″Application and Page Frameworks.″ The first chapter covers the frameworks of ASP.NET applications as well as the structure and frameworks provided for single ASP.NET pages. This chapter shows you how to build ASP.NET applications using IIS or the built-in Web server that comes with Visual Studio 2010. This chapter also shows you the folders and files that are part of ASP.NET. It discusses ways to compile code and shows you how to perform cross-page posting. This chapter ends by showing you easy ways to deal with your classes from within Visual Studio 2010.
* Chapters 2, 3, and 4. These three chapters are grouped together because they all deal with server controls. This batch of chapters starts by examining the idea of the server control and its pivotal role in ASP.NET development. In addition to looking at the server control framework, these chapters delve into the plethora of server controls that are at your disposal for ASP.NET development projects. Chapter 2, ″ASP.NET Server Controls and Client-Side Scripts,″ looks at the basics of working with server controls. Chapter 3, ″ASP.NET Web Server Controls,″ covers the controls that have been part of the ASP.NET technology since its initial release and the controls that have been added in each of the ASP.NET releases. Chapter 4, ″Validation Server Controls,″ describes a special group of server controls: those for validation.
* Chapter 5, ″Working with Master Pages.″ Master pages provide a means of creating templated pages that enable you to work with the entire application, as opposed to single pages. This chapter examines the creation of these templates and how to apply them to your content pages throughout an ASP.NET application.
* Chapter 6, ″Themes and Skins.″ The Cascading Style Sheet files you are allowed to use in ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 are simply not adequate in many regards, especially in the area of server controls. This chapter looks at how to deal with the styles that your applications require and shows you how to create a centrally managed look-and-feel for all the pages of your application by using themes and the skin files that are part of a theme.
* Chapter 7, ″Data Binding.″ One of the more important tasks of ASP.NET is presenting data, and this chapter looks at the underlying capabilities that enable you to work with the data programmatically before issuing the data to a control.
* Chapter 8, ″Data Management with ADO.NET.″ This chapter presents the ADO.NET data model provided by ASP.NET, which allows you to handle the retrieval, updating, and deleting of data quickly and logically.
* Chapter 9, ″Querying with LINQ.″ The.NET Framework 4 includes a nice access model language called LINQ. LINQ is a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. This chapter introduces you to LINQ and how to effectively use this feature in your Web applications today.
* Chapter 10, ″Working with XML and LINQ to XML.″ The .NET Framework and ASP.NET 4 have many capabilities built into their frameworks that enable you to easily extract, create, manipulate, and store XML. This chapter takes a close look at the XML technologies built into ASP.NET and the underlying .NET Framework.
* Chapter 11, ″Introduction to the Provider Model.″ The provider model is built into ASP.NET to make the lives of developers so much easier and more productive than ever before. This chapter gives an overview of this provider model and how it is used throughout ASP.NET 4.
* Chapter 12, ″Extending the Provider Model.″ After an introduction of the provider model, this chapter looks at some of the ways to extend the provider model found in ASP.NET 4. This chapter also reviews a couple of sample extensions to the provider model.
* Chapter 13, ″Site Navigation.″ Most developers do not simply develop single pages—they build applications. One of the application capabilities provided by ASP.NET 4 is the site navigation system covered in this chapter.
* Chapter 14, ″Personalization.″ Developers are always looking for ways to store information pertinent to the end user. After it is stored, this personalization data has to be persisted for future visits or for grabbing other pages within the same application. The ASP.NET team developed a way to store this information—the ASP.NET personalization system. The great thing about this system is that you configure the entire behavior of the system from the web.config file.
* Chapter 15, ″Membership and Role Management.″ This chapter covers the membership and role management system developed to simplify adding authentication and authorization to your ASP.NET applications. This chapter focuses on using the web.config file for controlling how these systems are applied, as well as on the server controls that work with the underlying systems.
* Chapter 16, ″Portal Frameworks and Web Parts.″ This chapter explains Web Parts—a way of encapsulating pages into smaller and more manageable objects.
* Chapter 17, ″HTML and CSS Design with ASP.NET.″ Visual Studio 2010 places a lot of focus on building a CSS-based Web. This chapter takes a close look at how you can effectively work with HTML and CSS design for your ASP.NET applications.
* Chapter 18, ″ASP.NET AJAX.″ AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. In Web application development, it signifies the capability to build applications that make use of the XMLHttpRequest object. Visual Studio 2010 contains the ability to build AJAX-enabled ASP.NET applications from the default install of the IDE. This chapter takes a look at this way to build your applications.
* Chapter 19, ″ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.″ Along with the capabilities to build ASP.NET applications that make use of the AJAX technology, a series of controls is available to make the task rather simple. This chapter takes a good look at the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit and how to use this toolkit with your applications today.
* Chapter 20, ″Security.″ This chapter discusses security beyond the membership and role management features provided by ASP.NET 4. This chapter provides an in-depth look at the authentication and authorization mechanics inherent in the ASP.NET technology, as well as HTTP access types and impersonations.
* Chapter 21, ″State Management.″ Because ASP.NET is a request-response–based technology, state management and the performance of requests and responses take on significant importance. This chapter introduces these two separate but important areas of ASP.NET development.
* Chapter 22, ″Caching.″ Because of the request-response nature of ASP.NET, caching (storing previous generated results, images, and pages) on the server becomes rather important to the performance of your ASP.NET applications. This chapter looks at some of the advanced caching capabilities provided by ASP.NET, including the SQL cache invalidation feature which is part of ASP.NET 4. This chapter also takes a look at object caching and object caching extensibility.
* Chapter 23, ″Debugging and Error Handling.″ This chapter tells you how to properly structure error handling within your applications. It also shows you how to use various debugging techniques to find errors that your applications might contain.
* Chapter 24, ″File I/O and Streams.″ This chapter takes a close look at working with various file types and streams that might come into your ASP.NET applications.
* Chapter 25, ″User and Server Controls.″ Not only can you use the plethora of server controls that come with ASP.NET, but you can also use the same framework these controls use and build your own. This chapter describes building your own server controls and how to use them within your applications.
* Chapter 26, ″Modules and Handlers.″ This chapter looks at two methods of manipulating the way ASP.NET processes HTTP requests: HttpModule and HttpHandler. Each method provides a unique level of access to the underlying processing of ASP.NET, and each can be a powerful tool for creating Web applications.
* Chapter 27, “ASP.NET MVC.” ASP.NET MVC is the latest major additio…

Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform, Fifth Edition

Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform, Fifth Edition By Andrew Troelsen
Publisher: Apress 2010 | 1753 Pages | ISBN: 1430225491 | PDF | 17 MB

The first edition of this book was released at the 2001 Tech-Ed conference in Atlanta, Georgia. At that time, the .NET platform was still a beta product, and in many ways, so was this book. This is not to say that the early editions of this text did not have merit—after all, the book was a 2002 Jolt Award finalist and it won the 2003 Referenceware Excellence Award. However, over the years that author Andrew Troelsen spent working with the common language runtime (CLR), he gained a much deeper understanding of the .NET platform and the subtleties of the C# programming language, and he feels that this fifth edition of the book is as close to a “final release” as he’s come yet.

This new edition has been comprehensively revised and rewritten to make it accurately reflect the C# 4 language specification for the .NET 4 platform. You’ll find new chapters covering the important concepts of dynamic lookups, named and optional arguments, Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), improved COM interop, and variance for generics.

If you’re checking out this book for the first time, do understand that it’s targeted at experienced software professionals and/or graduate students of computer science (so don’t expect three chapters on iteration or decision constructs!). The mission of this text is to provide you with a rock-solid foundation in the C# programming language and the core aspects of the .NET platform (assemblies, remoting, Windows Forms, Web Forms, ADO.NET, XML web services, etc.). Once you digest the information presented in these 25 chapters, you’ll be in a perfect position to apply this knowledge to your specific programming assignments, and you’ll be well equipped to explore the .NET universe on your own terms.

Functional C

Pieter Hartel, Henk Muller, "Functional C"
Addison Wesley | 1997 | ISBN: 0201419505 | 433 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

The Computer Science Departments of many universities teach a functional language as the first programming language. Using a functional language with its high level of abstraction helps to emphasize the principles of programming. Functional programming is only one of the paradigms with which a student should be acquainted. Imperative, Concurrent, Object-Oriented, and Logic programming are also important. Depending on the problem to be solved, one of the paradigms will be chosen as the most natural paradigm for that problem.

This book is the course material to teach a second paradigm: imperative programming, using C as the programming language. The book has been written so that it builds on the knowledge that the students have acquired during their first course on functional programming, using SML. The prerequisite of this book is that the principles of programming are already understood; this book does not specifically aim to teach `problem solving' or `programming'. This book aims to:

•Familiarise the reader with imperative programming as another way of implementing programs. The aim is to preserve the programming style, that is, the programmer thinks functionally while implementing an imperative program.
•Provide understanding of the differences between functional and imperative programming. Functional programming is a high level activity. The ordering of computations and the allocation of storage are automatic. Imperative programming, particularly in C, is a low level activity where the programmer controls both the ordering of computations and the allocation of storage. This makes imperative programming more difficult, but it offers the imperative programmer opportunities for optimisations that are not available to the functional programmer.
•Familiarise the reader with the syntax and semantics of ISO-C, especially the power of the language (at the same time stressing that power can kill). The authors visit all dark alleys of C, from void * to pointer arithmetic and assignments in expressions. On occasions, they use other languages (like C++ and Pascal) to illustrate concepts of imperative languages that are not present in C. C has been chosen because it is a de facto standard for imperative programming, and because its low level nature nicely contrasts with SML. Those who want to learn, for example, Modula-2 or Ada-95 afterwards should not find many difficulties.
•Reinforce the principles of programming and problem solving. This is facilitated by the use of three different languages (mathematics, a functional language, and an imperative language). The fact that these widely differing languages have common aspects makes the idea that programming principles exist and that they are useful quite natural.
•Reinforce the principle of abstraction. Throughout the book the authors encourage the student to look for more abstract solutions, for example, by viewing the signature of a function as an abstraction of its purpose, by using procedural abstractions (in particular higher order functions) early on, and by using data abstraction.
•Guide the student from specification and mathematics to implementation and software engineering. In the first chapters the emphasis is on writing correct functions and as the reader makes progress the emphasis gradually shifts to transforming correct functions into efficient and reusable functions. Clean interfaces are of paramount importance, and are sacrificed for better efficiency only as a last resort.
Each problem in this book is solved in three steps:

•A specification of the problem is made.
•An appropriate algorithm is found to deliver solutions that satisfy the specification.
•The algorithm is implemented as efficiently as possible. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on this third step.
The language of mathematics is used to specify the problems. This includes the basics of set theory and logic. The student should have some familiarity with the calculi of sets, predicate logic, and propositional logic. This material is taught at most universities during a first course on discrete mathematics or formal logic.

The appropriate algorithm is given in SML. SML is freely available for a range of platforms (PC's, UNIX work stations, Apple), and is therefore popular as a teaching language. As many functional languages are not too different from SML, an appendix gives a brief review of SML for those familiar with any of the other main stream functional languages, such as Miranda, Haskell, Clean, or Scheme.

As the target language to implement solutions in an imperative style the authors have chosen C. The choice to use C and not C++ was a difficult one. Both languages are mainstream languages, and would therefore be suitable as the target language. The authors have chosen C because it more clearly exposes the low level programming. To illustrate this consider the mechanisms that the languages provide for call by reference. In C, arguments must be explicitly passed as a pointer. The caller must pass the address, the callee must dereference the pointer. This in contrast with the call by reference mechanism of C++ (and Pascal and Modula-2). This explicit call by reference is a didactical asset as it clearly exposes the model behind call by reference, and its dangers (in the form of unwanted aliases).

As this book is intended to be used in a first year course, only few assumptions were made about prior knowledge of the students. Reasoning about the correctness of programs requires proof skills, which students might not have acquired at this stage. Therefore the authors have confined all proofs to specially marked exercises. To distinguish the programming exercises from the exercises requiring a proof, they have marked the latter with an asterisk... The answers to one third of the exercises are provided in Appendix A.

The student should have an understanding of the basic principles of computing. This would include base 2 arithmetic and the principles of operation of the von Neumann machine. A computer appreciation course would be most appropriate to cover this material. The book contains examples from other areas of computer science, including data bases, computer graphics, the theory of programming languages, and computer architecture. These examples can be understood without prior knowledge of these areas.
