To me understanding the innards of a platform always provides certain satisfaction and level of comfort, as well as insight that helps to write better applications. Most people using ASP.NET are familiar with WebForms and WebServices.
However, ASP.NET provides much more flexibility from a lower level. What is ASP.NET Let’s start with a simple definition: What is ASP.NET?

This article discusses how we can use performance counter to gather data from an application. So we will first understand the fundamentals and then we will see a simple example from which we will collect some performance data. Introduction: - My application performance is the best like a rocket J Let us start this article by a small chat between customer and developer.

How to Install IIS 6.0. A Beginner's Guide to ASP.NET Application Folders. Table of Contents Introduction First of all I would like to thank Sean Ewington for his article Beginner's Walk - Web Development, which gives me a great opportunity to write an article for beginners on ASP.NET web development here on CodeProject. After writing articles on caching and view state for beginners, I have decided to write an article for beginners on the ASP.NET Application Folders. However, I will be back with another article on rest of state management. Like my other articles, I believe this will also give you very good idea on the Application Folders. Please give your valuable suggestions and ideas for improvement that I can incorporate into this article, as well as my future articles.
Overview - ASP.NET Application Folders ASP.NET 2.0 uses a file-based approach. We can add as many as files and folders as we like (according to our requirements) within our solutions,and it won't be necessary to recompile them each and every time they are added. App_Code Folder Bin Folder E.g. Simple Windows Service Sample. Introduction As a matter of fact Microsoft Windows services, formerly known as NT services enable you to create long-running executable applications that run in its own Windows session, which then has the ability to start automatically when the computer boots and also can be manually paused, stopped or even restarted. This makes services ideal for use on a server or whenever you need long-running functionality that does not interfere with other users who are working on the same computer.
You can also run services in the security context of a specific user account that is different from the logged-on user or the default computer account. Windows services don’t have any interface to the user, so it can not be debugged like any regular application, but it’s debugged as a process. .NET has a very nice tool that enables processes debugging while it’s in the run status, by easily pressing Ctrl + Alt + P shortcut. Background Using the code Click the designer. Set the Name property to MyNewService. Common IIS + ASP.NET Issues. Ajax Update Progress: Modified - Bryan Sampica. Problem: Depending on your design, it may or may not work to have your atlas progress rendering inline with your other content. This is actually kind of a pain. My situation included a gridview being rendered that may require the user to scroll, clicking a paging link at the bottom. Clicking this link triggers the update progress template at the TOP of the page - But does almost nothing to inform the user who has now scrolled down and doesn't see it.
We need a way to inform the user that an Ajax panel is getting data from the server, and is actually doing anything. Solution: Enter JavaScript - yea I know what you're saying. Concept: We are going to declare a DIV inside the progress template. Ok - so lets get started eh? For this example, I'm going to return a DateTime string, and set it to the label in my page. Go ahead and get your page setup like this to get us started. You can get some free Ajax Update type animated GIFS from this site. Exception Handling Best Practices in .NET. Contents Introduction "My software never fails". Can you believe it? I'm almost hearing you all, screaming that I'm a liar.
"Software that never fails is something near to impossible! " Contrary to common belief, creating reliable, robust software is not something near to impossible. In other words, software that is stable. Having a bug in your software is forgivable, and even expected. To understand better what I'm saying, I've seen countless business software that, in an out of disk space error in the DBMS, reports something like this: "Could not update customer details. While this message may be an adequate of reporting an unknown resource failure to a business user, all too often this is the whole debugging information that is available to debug the error cause. Plan for the worst A few basic design concepts will make your program much more robust, and will improve the user experience in the presence of an unexpected error.

Please feel free to download my free 500 questions and answers eBook which covers .NET , ASP.NET, SQL Server, WCF, WPF, WWF @ Avoid task manager to detect memory leaks The first and foremost task is to confirm that there is a memory leak. First let’s try to understand how the Task Manager memory information is misleading. So the working set memory can be bigger in amount than the actual memory used. Using private bytes performance counters to detect memory leak In order to get the right amount of memory consumed by the application we need to track the private bytes consumed by the application. Below are the steps we need to follow to track private bytes in an application using performance counters: Start your application which has memory leaks and keep it running.
Web User Control in Asp.Net - Asp.Net, C#, SQL Blog. Getting started with Web User Control in Asp.net and lets explain it easy step by step. What is Web User Control? A Web User Control, is a Web Form. You can say it as a web form, which can be placed on multiple web form and can be reused. Example of Web User Control in Asp.NetYou can use Web User Control to create to display User Status. i.e. based on whether user is logged-in or not display him appropriate message. If use is logged-in display "Welcome UserName" And if not than display message "Welcome Guest".

Why do ASP.NET AJAX page methods have to be static? - Encosia. Dozens of variations on the title of this post are some of the most common searches that bring people here to Encosia. Unfortunately, the search engines all point to a post that doesn’t answer the question. It’s also a frequent question raised on the ASP.NET message boards, typically without a satisfactory answer provided. However, it is an important question, the answer to which is important to understand. So, in an attempt to fill in this gap for the searchers and perhaps preemptively help others, I want to proceed to answer it as thoroughly as possible without overly complicating the whole business. In order to do this, we’ll have to take a brief tour of WebForms, including: Understanding what the Page class is, and why we have it.One specific thing that the Page class does for us.How this is accomplished, behind the scenes.What the static keyword entails, when used with a method.Finally, why page methods must be static.
Understanding what the Page class is, and why we have it Conclusion. ASP.Net 2.0 - Master Pages: Tips, Tricks, and Traps. Master pages are a great addition to the ASP.NET feature set. Master pages help us build consistent and maintainable user interfaces. Master pages, however, are not without their quirks. Sometimes master page behavior is surprising, and indeed the very name master page can be a bit misleading. In this article, we are going to examine some of the common problems developers run into when using master pages, and demonstrate some practical advice for making effective use of master pages. To make use of master pages, we first need to understand how master pages work. When a web request arrives for an ASP.NET web form using a master page, the content page (.aspx) and master page (.master) merge their content together to produce a single page. The master page contains some common elements, like a head tag. The web form contains a single Content control, which in turn is the proud parent of a Label.
Protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ MasterPageFile = "~/foo";} using System; Working with the ASP.NET Global.asax file.
