Windows Communication Foundation For .Net Development Framework

by Dhaval 13. March 2012 13:40

Microsoft .NET development is increasing gaining currency as the ideal platform for development, deployment, and management of applications for the desktop, Web, and Web services. The common language runtime (CLR) and the class library drive .NET development across the world and especially in emerging markets like India. .NET development India is boosted by increasing offshore .NET development projects, .NET coaching institutes, and .NET development positions. At the core of the .NET development India popularity are the multiple .NET development product toolkits, especially Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

WCF is a framework for developing distributed, service-oriented applications. It simplifies the task of interfacing two endpoints. An endpoint can be a service requestor or service provider. WCF ensures reliable, durable, and secure exchange of messages. This flexibilizes application development and deployment within .NET development in cases like processing business transactions, instant messaging between two persons, providing real-time data to an endpoint, etc.

.NET 4 includes enhancements that further simplify development, communication, and further integration into WCF. WCF now supports configuration-free services, configurable routing services, and simplified REST service development. WCF .NET development allows multiple message patterns like request/reply pattern, one-way messaging pattern, duplex messaging pattern, etc. Some advantages of using WCF are:

  • Capability of messaging via HTTP, TCP, and other network protocols
  • Capability to host services even outside of a Web server
  • Capability to support SOAP and WS
  • Capability of extensible ports to customize functionality


Given the powerful .NET development framework bound with the flexible WCF, it is not surprising at the increasing popularity of .NET development India. After all, WCF can be bound to other Microsoft products like Windows Workflow Foundation, Microsoft BizTalk Server R2, Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft .NET Services, Windows Server AppFabric application server, etc. .NET development that uses the above components of the .NET framework can leverage the seamless, faster, and flexible features of WCF to develop and deploy service-oriented applications. In essence, WCF contributes to the immense popularity of .NET development India framework.

An Introduction To .NET String Resources

by Dhaval 5. March 2012 12:49

.NET development framework provides support for localized versions of application software. Traditionally applications are developed in a single language. However, with the increasing depth of globalization, the reach of software applications has been extended. Hence, there is a need to develop applications that can be localized into multiple languages. A string is a resource identifier in .NET application development framework. Both the resource and the resource identifier are defined in the same resource file.

The versatile .NET development features enable efficient creation and management of resource files. Resources in XML format or binary data such as images can be utilized and can be compiled into assemblies. However, the most powerful feature of .NET application development is the ability to write resources onto an external file. External resource files are commonly used to define localized string messages. When the application is released in a new language all that is required is the provision of the correct resource file without the need for a recompilation.

Language independence is achieved through maintenance of language-independent elements as a separate module distinctly different from the actual software code. In .NET development framework, externalized string handling functionality is achieved through "Resource Manager" class. "Resource Manager" allows controlled access to strings, user-defined string resource files, enumerations strings, type safe formatting, etc. This plausibilities the introduction of an application in a new language through creation of respective localized resources.

.NET application development can leverage the string-handling capabilities of the .NET development framework to create truly language-independent software applications. The steps to create string resources are:

  • Enter name values for all strings in a text file
  • Use Resgen.exe to convert the text file into a .resources file
  • Create a DLL
  • Use the Assembly Generation Tool or any other language compilers of .NET development framework and embed the .resources file


"GetString" method of "ResourceManager" is used to retrieve the string resource by passing the string name. The method returns the localized string.

.NET Framework Class Library Overview

by Dhaval 25. January 2012 13:10

When we come across the .NET Framework, we see two keywords the first keyword is .NET and the second is the Framework. As the name suggests .NET symbolizes Asp.NET and another is ADO.NET. The second keyword is Framework as the name suggests it helps the end user to build and run a wide variety of applications and services that run on web. Thus, the Framework has the various components:

  • .NET Framework class library
  • .ADO.NET(mentioned above)
  • Window Forms
  • ASP.NET
  • Common language runtime
  • Window Presentation Foundation.


.NET Framework Class Library

The outsource .NET  development Framework contains the value types, classes and the interfaces  helps in optimizing and speeding up of processes in the development phase and gives access to the systems various functions. The main function is to provide synchronization in operations between different languages, most of its types are CLS-compliant, and any language can use the types whose compiler is in accord to CLS.

The offshore .NET development Framework types make the base on which various applications, controls and components are developed. The functions of the various types:

  • Represent exceptions and data types of the base.
  • Encapsulate various data structures.
  • Perform the input and output operations.
  • Access information about various used types.
  • Invoke .NET Framework security checks.
  • Provide data access, rich client-side GUI, and server-controlled, client-side GUI.
  • If the user wants to use the any interface functions, the user can create a new class or can derive a class from the predefined classes.


System Namespaces

The types in this offshore .NET development Framework use a naming scheme that has dot syntax and the type follows a hierarchy. The System namespace is the base namespace for fundamental types. This namespace has classes of the base data types used by every operation: Object (the root of the inheritance hierarchy), Char, Byte, String, Int32, Array etc. This naming scheme helps the developers to develop groups of types and name them in a reliable and particular hierarchy. With this naming scheme, the user can search and reference types easily in the program.

Therefore, we can say that outsource .NET development Framework is the basis for various applications and various controls in that particular application.

Sharepoint 2010 Workflow A Boon For Organizations

by Dhaval 24. January 2012 13:04

Sharepoint consulting utilized SharePoint 2010, which is a tool developed by the Microsoft has the following features

  • Can create sites
  • Work collectively
  • Share documents and information with friends, partners and customers
  • Can work on multiple projects in the same platform
  • Enhances team work by providing proper sync among the team
  • Easy access of all kind of data
  • Secure
  • Easy to use
  • Enables quick and clear decision making
  • Changes in tune
  • e with the ever changing business environment
  • Detailed idea of each operation
  • Breaking of each operation into individual workflow for better control, easy identification of errors and easier decision making.


Normally all these SharePoint consulting workflows will be active which means anyone using the site can access it. However a business model can customize and activate or deactivate a particular workflow. One needs to be a site administrator to do this.

When a SharePoint development workflow is activated the data available in the workflow can be accessed by all and can be used by all to be added to the list or library. In case the workflow has to be activated one should have the authority to modify all the settings. The one with the authority should go to the Site collection features which will contain the list of workflows. Beside each work flow there will be an activate button which needs to be clicked to activate that particular workflow. However the activate near the Routing workflow has to be clicked to get the feedback workflow for SharePoint consulting.

Similarly when users should not access a particular workflow it has to be deactivated. For this also only a person authorized as the site administrator can do it. It is done in the same way activation is done. After reaching the Site Collection features there will be the list of workflows. Beside each workflow there will be the deactivate button which needs to be clicked to deactivate the workflow. After this the workflow will be inaccessible and no data associated with it can be used to be added to any library or list. Similarly to deactivate the approval SharePoint workflow, SharePoint consulting team should click deactivate which can be seen near the Routing workflow?

How .Net Development Teams Can Delete Multiple Rows Through WPF 4 Data Grid

by Dhaval 20. January 2012 10:25

WPF4 Data Grid is used for the .net development application which in turn is used in many other implementation works.  Data Manipulations also form a part along with the Data Representation when the DataGrid is used in the .net development application. Assigning of templates for columns is made possible with the use of the various elements of DataGrid that can beused by offshore .net development team.

Define the classes after the creation of the WPF application

 

 

2. In the .XAML window define the XAML code


<Window x:Class="WPF_Application.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow DeleteMultipleRows" Height="426" Width="740"
         Loaded="Window_Loaded">
   
<Grid>
   <TextBlock Height="51" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="37,12,0,0"
       Name="textBlock1" Width="648"
              Text="Employee Information System" VerticalAlignment="Top"
       TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="26" />
   <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="240"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="648"
              Margin="37,69,0,0" Name="dgEmp" VerticalAlignment="Top" 
              ColumnWidth="*" RowEditEnding="dgEmp_RowEditEnding" >
   <DataGrid.Columns>
   <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding EmpNo}" Header="EmpNo" />
   <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding EmpName}" Header="EmpName" />
<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Designation}" Header="Desig" />
   <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Salary}" Header="Salary" />
   <DataGridCheckBoxColumn Header="Delete"></DataGridCheckBoxColumn>
   </DataGrid.Columns>
   </DataGrid>
   <Button Content="Delete Rows" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
Margin="37,327,0,0"
                Name="btnDeleteRows" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="190"
Click="btnDeleteRows_Click" />
</Grid>
</Window>

The XAML code will bind together the employee class properties and the data grid is individually defined. The offshore .net development team will be able to define the DataGrid CheckBox column through DataGrid and this will be in turn used to delete the rows out of the DataGrid. XAML code will also be used for creating a btnDelete that will complete the delete operation.

3. The mainwindow.XAML.cs is opened and the following code will be written in it

List<int> lstSelectedEmpNo;
EmployeeCollection EmpCollection = new EmployeeCollection();
In the loaded event, write the following code:
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
dgEmp.ItemsSource = EmpCollection;
lstSelectedEmpNo = new List<int>();
}
The code shown above binds the Employee collection to the DataGrid.

Write the following code in the RowEditing event:
private void dgEmp_RowEditEnding(object sender,
DataGridRowEditEndingEventArgs e)
{
FrameworkElement element = dgEmp.Columns[4].GetCellContent(e.Row);
if (element.GetType() == typeof(CheckBox))
{
if (((CheckBox)element).IsChecked == true)
{
FrameworkElement cellEmpNo =
dgEmp.Columns[0].GetCellContent(e.Row);
int EmpNo = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBlock)cellEmpNo).Text);
lstSelectedEmpNo.Add(EmpNo);
}
}
}
 To delete the rows the following code will be written   
private void btnDeleteRows_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if(lstSelectedEmpNo.Count>0)
{
int count=0;
foreach (int eno in lstSelectedEmpNo)
{
Employee emp = (from ep in EmpCollection
where ep.EmpNo == eno
select ep).First();
EmpCollection.Remove(emp);
count++;
}
MessageBox.Show(count + "Row's Deleted" );
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}

Caching in .NET Framework Software

by Dhaval 10. January 2012 11:52

Caching is defined as storing. A cache is a storage bin that .net development uses to store data that has been used and for future requests that information can be retrieved. The retrieved data should be in the same format and content as the original data. Generally .net development sizes caches as small in byte size, and the properties of a data cache include being able to retrieve data when the original data source is unavailable.

.NET consulting uses System.Web.Caching in .NET Framework to develop applications. However, this library has been difficult to use except as an ASP.NET (active server pages) development tool. .NET Framework 4 has been .net developed to provide caching in .NET Framework applications inside an ASP.NET function.

.NET Development improvements entitled System.Runtime.Caching namespace include extensible caching; the ability to create caching providers such as databases, custom object, or the file system, and caching that is accessible to all .NET Framework applications outside of ASP.NET.

Additional improvements to the .NET Framework 4 include compatibility with earlier versions of .NET Framework. .NET development does not have to be concerned that applications will not run on the new and improved version of .net. Parallel computing simplifies .net development systems b providing a model for writing parallel threads. A new library entitled managed extensibility framework (MEF) provides .net development with extensible applications. Networking is improved by implement higher security elements. Windows authentication is available as are performance counters, support of large byte range headers, SSI support, and password based authentication schemes.

Further improvements include .net development and .net consulting being able to include extended caching, support for compression, and application auto start features.

Each new version of programming for .net development includes higher features and programming abilities. .NET Framework runs basically on Microsoft Windows, supports several programming languages, uses CLR (common language runtime), and includes a class library that will provide programmers with tools to write applications for Microsoft platforms. The added security and caching features in.NET Framework 4 will give .net development a way to program outside of ASP.NET which in turn will give Microsoft an edge in newer applications.

Offshore ASP .Net Development Navigates Through ASP.NET Controls

by Dhaval 6. January 2012 11:09

In 2002 Microsoft released .Net Framework and its corresponding web application framework, ASP .Net Development is build on common language runtime (CLR) and allows programmers to write ASP.NET code using support .net language supported by the Microsoft platform. ASP.NET web pages are also known as Web Forms and are used for application development. When you see the .aspx extension your will know that these files contain HTML markup, web controls and user controls. All static and dynamic content for the Web page is contained in these files.

ASP.NET controls include HTML or HyperText markup language will verify that a user has entered appropriate information. Additionally HTML elements in ASP.NET files are text. When .net development uses specific codes and language elements will be treated as server controls. When documents are retrieved as HTML, general users define this type of document as text or a specific language.

Server controls have built in functions such as buttons, text boxes, and calendaring, menus, and possibly graphs and frames. Server controls also aid outsourced ASP.net development in determining whether or not data is hosted to a server or cached for later retrieval. ASP.NET server controls will detect the browser's capabilities and sent input data to that browser.

Validation controls check for errors. When an error is discovered error messages are sent to the user. At that point, it is possible for the user to fix the error using web helps and basic programming tools.

User controls provide outsource asp.net development teams with ways to create toolbars and useable elements. User controls are also defined elements written into the hosting page. User control is often used by .net development to include written code that has the ability to manipulate contents and perform data tasks.

There are downsides to ASP.NET controls and these include having the control of the code inbuilt and web server controls somewhat out of your control. Another disadvantage is the migration of ASP to and ASP.NET application. This has proven to be difficult and often .net development must rewrite new applications. With this said, ASP.NET is the current and best method to design web pages for Microsoft users.

ASP.NET and SQL Server Express

by Dhaval 4. January 2012 13:56

ASP.NET will allow asp.net development to add data access too ASP.NET pages with no code. Using ASP.NET will allow asp.net developers to connect to data sources without too many problems as it uses controls to display data. These controls provide flexibility in presenting and retrieving data on the page. Using SQL Server Express will give asp.net developers greater level of accessibility when it comes to accessing data files developed in ASP.NET. Microsoft SQL Server Express stores and retrieves data as requested by different software applications including ASP.NET.

When using SQL Server Express you need to specify the data base server. As a note, SQL Server Express is a scaled down version of the Microsoft's SQL Server. ASP.net development will find that the SQL Server Express is limited to one processor, but there are no limitations on the number of databases or users SQL Server Express will support. Be aware that you can use SQL on machines in your network, but SQL Server Express will not support out of network machines.

The main reasons for using SQL Server Express with ASP.NET or any database storing system is to retrieve data for the users. ASP.net developers needs to use query tools to retrieve the data and development will know to use a variant of SQL entitled TPSQL. This is Microsoft's dialect that is programmed into the server. Query will specify where the data is, determine how to retrieve the data and bring up the data to your computer.

Be aware that the SQL Server Express database includes two files and these include the .mdf file and the .idf file. One holds the database scheme and the other holds the log information for the database. If ASP.NET developers use a Copy Web Site, the Server Express data base will enable asp.net development to copy applications and data to another server that uses XCopy or FTP. Copying empty data applications can also be performed within this asp.net development platform. Use the same functions as you would when copying regular databases. Maintain security by encrypting and using passwords when copying data from one server to another or allowing multiple users to access the server and databases.

Added Features Of The .NET framework 4.5 To Help .Net Developers

by Dhaval 2. January 2012 13:52

.Net Framework supports the operation of the next generation application and web services and is a significant part of the Windows. The common language run time and .NET framework class library form the basic elements of the .Net Framework. The library includes elements like ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) that helps outsource .net development team to produce innovative .net development solutions.

The Metro Style application will improve the power of the windows operating system and even subset could be created by the .Net developers using the C or Visual Basic languages. The subset of the .Net framework is termed as .Net APIs and is used for the Metro Style applications.

The new added features will include the ability to support the application domain and clearly define their culture as well. The console is added that will support the Unicode encoding. With the help of zip compressions the size of the file could be reduced to a greater extent. There is a lot of networking improvements through the introduction of the System.Net and System.Net.Mail which will make use of the HTTP interface and thereby assist outsourced .net development team. There is support for IPv6, URI, Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) parsing and also Email Address Internationalization (EAI).

INotifyDataErrorInfo interface. has been included for data validation for both Synchronous and asynchronous. VirtualizingPanel and Dispatcher classes are well formed with the new features. There is also mechanism for automatic change of the data when there is change in the values.The connectivity of the data context with the item number could be checked by the new system. The .NET developers have also got the extra feature of setting time between the property changes and the data source updating.

Besides this the .Net Framework could also efficiently retrieve large volume of data within lesser time. A new interface called the ICustomTypeProvider interface will support in retrieval of the binding information data. The newer features also make it easy for the .NET developers to maintain Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) applications. They could set the ASP.NET compatibility mode at ease. The configuration files that are frequently generated are in a much simplified format.

The .NET framework 4.5 also supports the expression in C and allows enhancements in versioning. It will also develop the contract first workflow that will have the ability to match the contract with the specified activities.

ASP .Net Configuration Editing Files

by Dhaval 29. December 2011 14:42

Asp.net development configuration files are held in the XML files and it's named as the web.config. There are many directories that will be found in the asp.net development applications that will also hold the web.config files. The configuration settings for the own directory as well as the child directories are applied by these web.config files. At the same time the settings for the parent directories and the child directories could be changed accordingly by the outsourced asp.net development teams.

The configuration files will contain the XML tags and the sub tags. They will also hold the attributes for the files. The information regarding the configuration will be found at the <configuration> and </configuration> root XML tags. Outsourced asp.net development team can find the information about the configuration in two different areas namely configuration section-handler declaration area and the configuration section settings area.

The settings of the configuration can be created as well as edited very easily by the outsourced asp.net development team as the XML files are very plain text files. The following methods are used to create and edit the configuration in asp.net development:

  • Through the use of the ASP.Net Configuration API
  • Use of ASP.Net MMC  snap in
  • Websites and ASP.net applications make use of the Website administration tools
  • Text editor or XML editor is used for direct editing of the information regarding the configuration.


The best tags ahs to form and for this the XML tags and sub tags will always be case sensitive. Camel case is used for tag names and the attribute names also. Under this the first letter of the tag name is found in lower case and the first letter of the concatenated word or words are in upper case. In case of the string attributes the Pascal case is applied wherein the first letter of the tag name and the concatenated word or words both will be in upper case.

There are two options available for the outsource asp.net development team creating handlers. Either the could make use of the predefined configuration section handlers or create their own by making use of the custom configuration settings.

Outsource asp.net development can be used for modifying the configuration settings in the files saved in the remote systems. When any change is made to the settings the system will prompt for restart and this could be prevented by making use of the config Source attribute.
