Course Description This course is a study of the theory, concepts, and applications of the Active Server Page (ASP.NET) web development environment. Students will learn about working with the page (HtmlForm class, error handling, tracing, page personalization, and rich page composition), the ASP.NET object Model (request, response, server, session, application, global.asax file, and collaborative data object), data providers (managed providers, SqlConnection class, and SqlCommand class), data containers (SQlDataAdapter, DataSet, DataTable, and DataView objects), data source based data binding, and managing the HTTP Request Context and lifecycle. The student will also manage and establish state across HTTP connections, explore caching, and examine ASP.NET s security architecture ( session hijacking, Forms authentication, membership and role management, and security related controls). Students must

2 have access to Visual Studio software. (Prerequisite: Web Programming). Students must have access to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express Edition Microsoft presently offers a free version of Visual Web Developer 2010 express edition; it is the student s responsibility to download and install this software. Course Scope This course is one in a series of courses on Enterprise Programming. The series focuses on Enterprise Web Development using the.net framework. This course exploits the power of ASP.NET to develop dynamic web pages. Prerequisite(s): Web Programming. Course Objectives The successful student will fulfill the following learning objectives: 1. Discuss the features, functionality, power, and advantages of ASP.NET that have made it a viable tool for website design, development, deployment, and management. 2. Appraise the impact of Microsoft s Visual Studio.NET on Information Technology Management and on Global Economies as it applies to developing, deploying, and managing websites. 3. Assess the capability of ASP.NET IDE as a tool for Web site management, configuration management, and for the administration of corporate websites. 4. Examine the concept of managed data providers within the.net Framework. 5. Appraise ASP.NET s facilities for performing exception handling. 6.
