ASP.Net With C# - The Basics

2007-07-17T02:42:00.000-07:00

ASP.Net With C# - The Basics

By Vijay Mukhi, Sonal Mukhi and Neha Kotecha

ASP.Net provides the most powerful environment for development of sophisticated, real-life business applications. It was only natural for us to get sucked into the vortex of the exciting opportunity that this language provides, to satiate our technical appetite. This book presents a realistic tableau of the vast repertoire of features of the ASP.Net language. We have scythed through the maze of technological jargon to present to you, in a simple yet comprehensive manner, all the salient features of the language.

The book commences with the assumption that you are a programming tyro, with no previous knowledge of ASP.Net or C#. It however, expects you to have a working knowledge of the Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). The book covers the length and breadth of the ASP.Net framework. Since the C# language has been used for programming, the fundamentals of this language have also been covered.

The book begins with the basics of the ASP.Net and C#. Thereafter, it moves on to the built-in controls of ASP.Net. Next, it demonstrates how you can build your own custom controls. The text then veers on to the concepts of the built-in C# classes, and shows you how to build your own custom classes. It also covers the myriad aspects of handling databases, advanced concepts of controls, mysteries of Cookies, CGI Progamming and state management,Web Services and finally a Class Browser Application. It finally winds up with a peek into the security issues of designing an Internet application using ASP.Net. Thus, you'll be able to appreciate, that a vast array of technical concepts of ASP.Net have been covered by this book.

This book is teeming with examples and explanations that discuss each concept threadbare. The various disparate concepts have been woven together to create a beautiful tapestry of the ASP.Net language. It has always been our modus operandi to break up large programs into smaller fragments, comprehend each fragment thoroughly and subsequently, synthesize all the fragments together to retrieve the original program. The same strategy has been employed in this book also. Each concept has been substantiated with examples so that you can see how each concept is implemented in real-life applications.

In our books, we have presented examples that emulate a concept supplied in the documentation, or some idea we found on the Internet. However, some of the concepts introduced are purely ours, and thus original. As far as we are concerned, you are free to use our accepted wisdom, as long as someone somewhere in the world benefits from it.

We are sanguine that this book will go a long way in providing ample food for thought, to sate the technological hunger of your minds. We implore you to put in sedulous effort in mastering this language, by reading all the material provided to you in this book with sincerity, and also by trying out all the examples that have been presented. We are confident that on doing so, you will be able to scale dizzying heights in the world of Internet programming.

A Programmer’s Introduction to C#, Second Edition

2007-07-17T02:34:00.001-07:00

A Programmer's Introduction to C#, Second Edition

By Eric Gunnerson

IN MOST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES, some information is expressed through declaration, and other information is expressed through code. For example, in the following class member declaration

public int Test;

the compiler and runtime will reserve space for an integer variable and set its protection so that it is visible everywhere. This is an example of declarative information; it's nice because of the economy of expression and because the compiler handles the details for us.

Typically, the types of declarative information are predefined by the language designer and can't be extended by users of the language. A user who wants to associate a specific database field with a field of a class, for example, must invent a way of expressing that relationship in the language, a way of storing the relationship, and a way of accessing the information at runtime. In a language like C++, a macro might be defined that stores the information in a field that is part of the object. Such schemes work, but they're error-prone and not generalized. They're also ugly.

The .NET Runtime supports attributes, which are merely annotations that are placed on elements of source code, such as classes, members, parameters, etc. Attributes can be used to change the behavior of the runtime, provide transaction information about an object, or convey organizational information to a designer. The attribute information is stored with the metadata of the element and can be easily retrieved at runtime through a process known as reflection.

C# uses a conditional attribute to control when member functions are called. A use for the conditional attribute would look like this:

using System.Diagnostics;
class Test
{
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public void Validate()
{
}
}

Most programmers will use predefined attributes much more often than writing an attribute class.........

A Comprehensive Guide to C# and the .NET Platform

2007-07-17T02:27:00.001-07:00

A Comprehensive Guide to C# and the .NET Platform

Advanced C# Class Construction Techniques

c-sharpcorner.com

This chapter rounds out your introduction to the core aspects of the C# language by examining a number of advanced (but extremely useful) syntactic constructs. To begin, you learn how to construct and use an indexer method. This C# mechanism enables you to build custom types, which exposes internal subtypes using the familiar bracket operator ( i.e., []). If you have a C++ background, you will find that creating a C# indexer method is analogous to overloading the [] operator on a C++ class. Once you learn how to build an indexer, you then examine how to overload various operators (+, -, <, > and so forth) for a custom C# type.

This chapter then examines three techniques that enable the objects in your system to engage in bidirectional communications. First, you learn about the C# "delegate" keyword, which is little more than a type-safe function pointer. Once you learn how to create and manipulate delegates, you are in a perfect position to investigate the .NET event protocol, which is based on the delegation model. Finally, you discover how the use of custom interfaces can also enable bidirectional communications (which should ring a bell for those coming from a COM background).

I wrap up by examining how you can document your types using XML attributes, and how the Visual Studio.NET IDE automatically generates Web-based documentation for your projects. Although this might not qualify as a truly "advanced" technique, it is a high note on which to end the chapter.

Comparison Microsoft C# to Sun Java by Dare Obasanjo

2007-07-17T02:25:00.001-07:00

A Comparison of Microsoft's C# programming language to Sun Microsystem's Java Programming Language

By Dare Obasanjo

The C# language is an object-oriented language that is aimed at enabling programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the Microsoft .NET platform. The goal of C# and the .NET platform is to shorten development time by freeing the developer from worrying about several low level plumbing issues such as memory management, type safety issues, building low level libraries, array boundschecking , etc. thus allowing developers to actually spend their time and energy working on their application and business logic instead. As a Java developer the previous sentence could be described as "a short description of the Java language and platform" if the words C# and the .NET platform were replaced with words Java and the Java platform.

What follows is an overview of similarities and differences between the language features and libraries of the C# and Java programming languages based on my experience using both languages. All code snippets below were tested on Microsoft's .NET Framework Beta 2 for C# snippets and Java™ 2, Standard Edition (J2SE™) version 1.4 Beta 2 for the Java snippets.

Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days

Welcome to Visual C++ . Over the next 21 days, you will learn how to use the features that Microsoft has built into its C++ development environment to enable you to create very advanced applications for the Windows and NT platforms. When Microsoft's developers first came up with the idea behind Visual C++ , they decided to take their world-class C++ compiler and create a development environment and set of tools that would enable developers to create Windows applications with a level of ease and speed that was unheard of among C++ development environments. Since that first version, Microsoft has continued to improve the tools that are a part of Visual C++ to make it even easier to create Windows applications. As Microsoft has introduced new technologies into the Windows platforms, it has also introduced tools into the Visual C++ suite to make it easy to integrate these new technologies into your applications.

The Photoshop CS2 Help Desk Book

2005-12-09T12:32:00.000-08:00

The Photoshop CS2 Help Desk Book

After years of fielding questions at seminars from Photoshop users, Dave Cross realized there was a lot of common ground: there were many questions that were indeed 'frequently asked.' In addition, most questions seemed start with ?How come I can?t?.' 'How do I?.' or 'Why won?t the (fill in the blank) tool work?' This book addresses the most common problems and questions in Photoshop by both providing answers to the most frequently asked questions, and outlining strategies that can help you avoid problems in the first place.

You?ll see:

? Where to start when things don't work: from tool settings to re-installing Photoshop

? The most common warning dialogs: why they appears, how to fix them, and how to avoid them

? The Photoshop CS2 Checklist: what to check when things go wrong, or before you start working, to help avoid problems

? Solutions to typical problems when using the Adobe Creative Suite

? How to avoid problems by creating flexible documents (adjustment layers, layer masks, groups, smart object, layer comps, and more)

? Frequently asked questions?and their answers?in all key areas of Photoshop CS2:

? general operations (palettes, workspaces, menus, etc.)

? color (CMYK, color management, spot color, choosing color, etc.)

? type

? selections

? making adjustments

? layers

? preferences and settings

? image capture (resolution, Camera Raw, file size)

? sizing (canvas size, image size, copping)

? automation (actions, batch, built-in automation commands)

? common image problems (exposure, focus, noise, color cast, etc.)

? painting (brushes, choosing color)

? output (web, PDF, video, printing)

? special effects (filters, layer styles)

? tools (that don't fit into any other category)

? How to customize Photoshop CS2 to work the way you want it to (actions, menus, workspaces, shortcuts, preferences)

? How to make your own brushes, swatches, shapes, styles, and patterns

Extending MFC Applications with the .NET Framework

2005-12-09T12:30:00.000-08:00

Extending MFC Applications with the .NET Framework

Text shows MFC developers how to boost productivity by incorporating .NET functionality into existing MFC applications. CD-ROM includes the complete downloadable source code, working examples, and text code from the book. DLC: Application software--Development.

From the Back Cover

?To anyone looking to augment their existing MFC code base and knowledge with the powerful .NET classes?which provide such capabilities as disconnected data, in-memory database (IMDB), regular expressions, and data encryption?Tom Archer?s book has it all.?

?Erik Westermann, Lead Architect, Eidenai Innovations

Extending MFC Applications with the .NET Framework is the first book to show MFC developers how to boost productivity by incorporating .NET functionality into existing MFC applications. Tom Archer clearly illustrates how using the .NET Base Class Library (BCL)?to complement or replace MFC classes when there is a clear advantage?enables MFC developers to create elegant and robust Windows applications in the most efficient way possible.

Each chapter begins with an introduction that explains the technology, outlines its benefits, lists its pragmatic business uses, and summarizes the required syntax. As is an Archer trademark, this information is solidified with hands-on, practical demo applications.

This book answers the questions MFC developers have about .NET, including:

* What are the key issues when combining MFC and Managed Extensions? Page 15
* How can Regular Expressions be used to parse a document for multiple complex pattern types, such as email addresses? Page 84
* How can hash codes be used to validate users without storing passwords? Page 161
* How can MFC applications maintain data stored in XML format? Page 274
* Once an ADO.NET DataSet is filled, how can the data be searched, sorted, and filtered? Page 336
* What technique is used for reading image data from a database using ADO.NET classes? Page 363
* How can Remoting be used to pass MFC objects between applications? Page 460

Oracle Programming with Visual Basic
ISBN: 0782123228 - Author: Nick Snowdon
Publisher: Sybex Inc - Edition: (October 14, 1998) - Paperback: 715 pages

iNFO:
Aimed at programmers who are familiar with Visual Basic and who have been exposed to Oracle, this instructional text covers the popular Oracle/Visual Basic client/server combination from beginning to end. The book opens with a lengthy discussion of the unique architecture of Oracle. The author presents the basics of Oracle's components, database administration processes, and database design issues. By the end of this first part, the reader comes away with a solid understanding of Oracle. The second part adequately covers queries and store procedures and introduces the reader to Oracle's PL/SQL.
Next, the author devotes a section to implementing Visual Basic client applications against the Oracle back end. He presents Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), cursors, and object linking and embedding database (OLE-DB) as well as discusses the Mcft JET engine, remote data objects, and ODBCDirect. All of these architectures are critical to expert database programming in Visual Basic. The book also addresses other client design issues, such as transaction control and error handling.
Oracle Programming wraps up with a section on advanced Oracle techniques that includes Oracle Objects for OLE--otherwise known as OO4O. Generous but concise code examples, smart sidebars on real-world implementation, and plenty of architectural diagrams round out this book. --Stephen Plain

Holy Blood Holy Grail

2005-12-09T12:16:00.000-08:00

Holy Blood Holy Grail

This is the book that inspired Dan Browns The DaVinci Code

Michael Baigent, Henry Lincoln, and Richard Leigh, authors of The Messianic Legacy, spent over 10 years on their own kind of quest for the Holy Grail, into the secretive history of early France. What they found, researched with the tenacity and attention to detail that befits any great quest, is a tangled and intricate story of politics and faith that reads like a mystery novel. It is the story of the Knights Templar, and a behind-the-scenes society called the Prieure de Sion, and its involvement in reinstating descendants of the Merovingian bloodline into political power. Why? The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail assert that their explorations into early history ultimately reveal that Jesus may not have died on the cross, but lived to marry and father children whose bloodline continues today. The authors' point here is not to compromise or to demean Jesus, but to offer another, more complete perspective of Jesus as God's incarnation in man. The power of this secret, which has been carefully guarded for hundreds of years, has sparked much controversy. For all the sensationalism and hoopla surrounding Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the alternate history that it outlines, the authors are careful to keep their perspective and sense of skepticism alive in its pages, explaining carefully and clearly how they came to draw such combustible conclusions.

Is the traditional, accepted view of the life of Christ in some way incomplete?

? Is it possible Christ did not die on the cross?
? Is it possible Jesus was married, a father, and that his bloodline still exists?
? Is it possible that parchments found in the South of France a century ago reveal one of the best-kept secrets of Christendom?
? Is it possible that these parchments contain the very heart of the mystery of the Holy Grail?

Network Management by German

ISBN: 1-4020-7418-2, 744
Pages, 2003

IT management has
become mission critical to the economies of the developed
world. Over the next few years, leading
IT organizations will gradually move from
identifying infrastructure problems to providing business
services via auto-mated, intelligent management systems. These
future management systems must provide global scalability, for
instance, to support Grid computing
and large numbers of pervasive devices.

Management systems must also support the management of
business processes and their supporting technology
infrastructure as integrated entities. They will need to
significantly reduce the amount of adventitious, bootless data
thrown at consoles, delivering instead a cogent view of the
system state, while leaving the handling of lower level events
to self-managed, multifarious systems and devices. A new
emphasis is emerging on "autonomic" computing, building
systems that can perform routine tasks without administrator
intervention and take prescient actions to rapidly recover
from potential software or hardware failures.
Web services, with public interfaces and
bindings described using XML, are often
proposed as the latest model for interaction between
management systems and applications.
These
are some of the large background issues that provide a setting
for the specific topics that are covered by the papers in
these proceedings. Topic areas include
Provisioning,
Modeling, Wireless,
Quality of
Service, Faults,
Power, Optical,
Configuration, Peer to
Peer, Intrusion Detection,
Accounting, Policies,
and Performance Management

This volume contains the proceedings of the
Eighth
IFIP/IEEE
International Symposium on Integrated Network
Management (IM 2003), which was
jointly sponsored by the International
Federation for Informa-tion Processing (
IFIP) and the IEEE
Communications Society.
The conference
convened in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, USA in
2003 With contributions from
researchers and practitioners from
Europe, America and
Asia, this volume provides a
comprehensive snapshot of the current state of the art in
network and systems management.

JDBC
API Tutorial and Reference, Third
Edition by dene Fisher, Jon
Ellis, Jonathan Bruce ISBN:
0-321-17384-8, 1280 Pages ,
June 2003 .
This book covers
all of the JDBCTM API, the application
programming interface that provides universal data access for
the Java programming language. The
first edition covered the JDBC 1.0 API,
which provides the basic functionality for data access. The
second edition added the JDBC 2.0
API, which supplements the basic
API with more advanced features.

The 2.0 API provides a
standard way to access the latest object-relational features
being suppor-ted by today's relational database management
systems. In addition, it includes features such as scrollable
and updatable result sets and improved performance. Further,
it extends JDBC technology beyond the
client to the server with connection pooling and distributed
transactions.
This third edition
covers the complete JDBC 3.0 API The
specification for the JDBC 3.0 API
combines all previous specifications, including the
JDBC Optional Package
specification, into one comprehensive document. It also adds
new functionality, such as savepoints, auto-generated keys,
and parameter metadata, plus enhancements to existing
functionality.

Applied
C++: Techniques for Building Better Software
by Philip Romanik, Amy Muntz
ISBN: 0-321-10894-9, 330
Pages,2003

Applied C++ is a
practical, straightforward guide for developing high-quality,
maintainable software. It reflects the power of
C++, templates, and the
Standard Template Library for
industrial-strength programming. Whether you are a single
developer or work in a large team, the numerous tips and
techniques presented in this book will help you to improve
your language and design skills and show you how to solve
substantial problems more effectively.
The
authors, drawing on their extensive profes-sional experience,
teach largely by example. To illustrate software techni-ques
useful for any application, they present a toolkit to solve
the complex problem of digital image manipulation. By using a
concrete, real-world problem, with exact feature, performance,
and extensibility requirements described, they show--in a way
that theoretical books cannot--how to leverage existing
software components and the tools inherent to
C++ to speed development, promote reuse, and
deliver successful software products.

Storage
Networks: The Complete Reference
by Robert Spalding ISBN:
0-07-222476-2, 526 Pages,
2003
This comprehensive
guide helps you stay on top of storage networking innovations
while under-standing the realities of storage networks in the
data center. Use the essential concepts of storage networks
including architecture, devices, connecti-vity options, and
data organization methods to design and apply comprehensive
and successful storage solutions.
Learn to
work with the two major models—NAS
(Network Attached Storage) and
SAN (Storage Area
Networking) — and their integration with
IP, RAID storage
architectures, and virtualization basics. Whether you’re a
network engineer, application designer, or
IT executive, discover this useful reference
to understand, plan, and maintain a storage network.

Storage Networks: The
Complete Reference was designed to be a general
reference for the IT community. The
book was developed to address the pragmatic issues that relate
to learning a new technology, understanding it, and applying
it from an IT perspective. As with all
reference material, it can be used in a number of ways. First,
as a reference in understanding the concepts behind storage
networks. Secondly, as a tool to help plan and target
applications of the technology. Finally, the book is meant as
an extended reference in helping your activities move beyond
installation and into maintenance and management. However, it
can also be used as a curriculum for classroom studies,
whether employing the comp-lete book or its parts in a formal
or informal educational setting. Usage of the book depends on
your existing knowledge of computers and, speci-fically,
storage systems.

SQL
Server 2000 for Experienced DBA's
by Brian Knight ISBN:
0-07-222788-5, 520 Pages,
2003

Configure and manage SQL Server 2000
for peak performance and high availability using the
undocumented administrative and troubleshooting techniques
offered inside this focused reference. SQL
Server expert Brian Knight
gives you details on system and platform architecture,
settings, security, file management, replication, automation,
backups, clustering, and restoration. The book also explains
how to maximize built-in administrative tools, develop
maintenance plans to prevent downtime, and optimize overall
system perfor-mance. Concise and practical, this essential
reso-urce will save you hundreds of hours of troubleshooting
time.
I wrote this book
when I became starved for more advanced SQL
Server information. It seemed that every book I picked
up was 1,500 pages yet contained only a
few paragraphs in each chapter that I could use. When writing
this book, I made the assumption that you already know the
basics. I try not to bore you with details on how to create a
database or a login. Instead, I focus on troubleshooting what
could go wrong when you create a database and best practices.
I aimed to do this in a quick and precise way, without the
fluff that adds pages but not value. - Brian
Knight

Applications.

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX Dynamic Applications:
Advanced Training from the Source
by Jeffrey Bardzell
ISBN: 0-321-16680-9, 440
Pages,2003

As a designer himself, author
Jeffrey Bardzell is keenly aware of the
dilemma you're faced with today: With clients and users
demanding more than the static, HTML
pages that defined first-generation Web sites, you have no
choice but to migrate to dynamic, service based sites. But
that means a world of programming, servers, databases, and
configuration options you know little about. Not to worry:
Dynamic Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Advanced
Training from the Source has you covered.

Through the graphics-intensive, self-paced
tutorials that form the heart of this popular series,
Bardzell takes you through everything you
need to know to start designing dynamic, database-driven sites
using the powerful new tools available in
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX And unlike other
books, this one assumes no prior knowledge of programming or
database concepts, terms, and techniques.

If you've ever created static
HTML pages, you'll be able to dive right in
with tutorials that cover configuration options, programming
basics, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX's
server behaviors, and connecting to databases-all in the
context of overhauling a static HTML
site into a dynamic, maintainable business application, with
code you can use in your own projects!

Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design.

Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design: Composing
Patterns to Design Software Systems
by Sherif M. Yacoub, Hany H. Ammar
ISBN: 0-201-77640-5,
416 Pages, August 2003

Design patterns are immensely powerful, but
to build large-scale robust systems, you need more.
Pattern-Oriented Analysis and Design (
POAD) introduces a methodology for "
composing" proven design patterns into
reliable, robust large-scale software systems. Using
POAD, you can quickly build systems that are
far more robust, scalable, and maintainable-using
UML class diagrams as your building blocks.

This book presents an approach to design
soft-ware applications using design patterns. It descri-bes a
POAD methodology that produces
pattern-oriented designs. POAD takes a
structural composition approach to glue patterns at the
high-level design. It uses the notion of constructional design
patterns as design components with interfaces.

POAD is based on the
premise that at some design level, it is sufficient to know
that some patterns are used in the application, and it is not
necessary to overwhelm the designer with the details of the
internal design of each pattern. Wouldn't it be nice to work
at a higher level than class diagrams and yet know that
elements at that level have well-proven class diagrams This
is achieved by POAD
POAD provides logical views to represent the
application design as a composition of patterns and provides
the necessary means to trace participants of those patterns
into the application's final class diagram.
