2 Agenda Introduction Master Pages Data access Caching Site navigation Security: users and roles Themes/Skin AJAX Support (WPF / Silverlight)

3 ASP.NET (Active( Server Pages.NET) Web Application Framework (part( of.net Framework current Version 3.5) to build dynamic web sites and web services Tools Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition (for free) Visual Studio 2008 Professional Visual Studio 2008 Team System Solution deployed on IIS (For development no IIS required Built-in in ASP.NET web server)

4 Visual Studio 2008 tour

5 ASP.NET Server Controls Server Controls encapsulate both behaviour and rendering Declarative, specified by runat= server server Generate HTML that is sent to the client Can support multiple client types

6 Web App

7 ASP.NET Architecture Stack App Services Page Rich Controls Data Controls Login Controls Navigation Controls WebParts Master Pages Themes/Skins Adaptive Mobility Personalization Membership Role Profiles Site Maps Health Monitoring Caching Configuration Extensible Provider Model: SQL, Access, Windows, Oracle

8 Some Membership Provider (Pattern Strategy) Membership System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider Role management System.Web.Security.AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider Site map System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider Profile System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider

9 Master Pages Work Design time MySite.master Master %> Header Navigation <asp:contentplaceholder Id=MainContent /> Default.aspx Page MasterPageFile= ~/MySite.master %> <asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId=MainContent /> Footer

10 How Master Pages Work Runtime Header Navigation Default page content Footer Default.aspx s content replace the contentplaceholder of the master page at runtime

11 Master Pages

12 Data Controls Provides easy and powerful declarative model Goal: All common data access scenarios with zero code Do not require developer to be aware of page lifecycle events Enable rich and pluggable data access storage providers

13 Data Controls Data Source Controls: <asp:sqldatasource> <asp:accessdatasource> <asp:xmldatasource> <asp:sitemapdatasource> <asp:objectdatasource> <asp:linqdatasource> Data Bound Controls: <asp:gridview> <asp:detailsview> <asp:treeview> <asp:menu

14 Data Source Controls Declarative ("no-code") data binding Part of.aspx. files Sql- DataSource Object- DataSource Access- DataSource Xml- DataSource SiteMap- DataSource Data Component Site Map Provider SQL Databases Any Data Access Databases XML Data Site Maps

15 Data-Bound Controls GridView DetailsView FormView Built-in in support for selecting, editing, paging, sorting, and more Visual Studio makes it simple to configure and connect data controls to datasources!

16 Data Controls

17 Caching V1 Caching allowed timer based invalidation Sites often set low cache duration in order to maintain accuracy of content backed by databases V2 now supports cache invalidation providers Custom Cache Dependency (inherits from CacheDependency) Built-in in support for SQL Cache Invalidation Works with (SQL 7), SQL 2000 and 2005 Table invalidation for (SQL 7) , row for 2005 Enabled for both output cache entries and cached data- structures

18 Site Navigation Built-in in site layout and navigation system Built-in in support for XML site description (App.SiteMap( App.SiteMap) Provider model for alternate stores (example: database) Programmatic API Enables Access to Site Layout Where you are in the site, link structure, paths, etc. Rich server controls encapsulate common tasks <asp:sitemappath> -- Bread-Crumb Control <asp:sitemapdatasource> -- DataSource Control <asp:treeview> -- Hierarchical tree control <asp:menu> -- Rich navigation menu control <asp:wizard> -- Control for multi-step state processes

19 Site Navigation

20 Login Controls (Users & Roles) Control suite built on Membership/Roles APIs: <asp:login> -- Login Form <asp:loginname> -- Output authenticated name <asp:loginstatus> -- Indicate whether authenticated <asp:loginview> -- Template driven views <asp:passwordrecovery> -- lost password <asp:createuser> -- Create new account <asp:changepassword> -- Change password

21 Security

22 Themes/Skinning Themes are rich skin templates that can be applied to pages and controls Enable customization of both style and structure Can be dynamically set at runtime (personalization) Themes encapsulated within.skin files Stored within \themes directory of application Contain pre-defined set of control property values Theme picked via Page.Theme property

23 Themes

24 What is ASP.NET AJAX? A Framework for building Richer, more Interactive, Standards-based Web Experiences High Productivity AJAX Development Framework Fewer concepts, fewer lines of code Application and UI building blocks for common scenarios Builds on Top of ASP.NET 2.0 Well integrated with design and development tools Seamlessly integrated application model Works with ASP.NET pages and server controls Allows access to ASP.NET web services and components Standards-Based: Works Cross-Browser!

25 AJAX

26 SUMMARY ASP.NET is a Technology (no language) ASP.NET languages are compiled (better performance compared to interpreted languages) Separation between UI and logic (.aspx /.aspx.cs. aspx.cs).net Libraries available inside ASP.NET Dramatically reduce development time + costs Similar programming model to other.net Application Easy AJAX integration Totally Extensible Platform Replace/extend all built-in in features + services Customize for any enterprise environment
