Development Tips And Tricks

File upload
ASP.NET provides built-in file upload support
No posting acceptor required No third party components required
Accessible through two APIs:
Request.Files collection <input type=file> server control
HttpPostedFile Object:
HttpPostedFile.InputStream HttpPostedFile.ContentType HttpPostedFile.FileName HttpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileLocation)

File upload - Notes
ASP.NET provides built-in file upload support
No posting acceptor required No third party components required
Accessible through two APIs:
Request.Files collection <input type=file> server control
HttpPostedFile Object:
HttpPostedFile.InputStream HttpPostedFile.ContentType HttpPostedFile.FileName HttpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileLocation)

File upload example
<html> <script language="VB" runat=server> Sub Btn_Click(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs) UploadFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\foo.txt") End Sub </script> <body> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" runat=server> Select File To Upload: <input id="UploadFile" type=file runat=server> <asp:button OnClick="Btn_Click runat=server/> </form> </body> </html>
Demonstration 1
File Upload

Richer file upload

File system is not the only option Example: Storing within SQL

Access uploaded file as byte array Store file within SQL as image (blob) Store ContentType and ContentLength also Provide Edit Link to display page Edit Link Page sets ContentType header and then writes binary array back to client
Demonstration 2
File Upload With SQL

Image generation
Rich server image generation

Additionally supports resizing & cropping Overlays on top of existing images Read/Write Any Standard IO Stream Dynamically generate GIFs/JPGs from .aspx Set ContentType appropriately Optionally output cache results
System.Drawing

Demonstration 3
Image Generation

ASP.NET XML Server Control
ASP.NET <asp:xml runat=server>

Enables output of XML Enables optional XSL/T transform of XML
Binding options

File system Database item
Built-in caching

Ensure efficient re-use Improves performance

<ASP:XML> file sample
<html> <body> <asp:xml id="MyXml1" DocumentSource="SalesData.xml" TransformSource="SalesChart.xsl" runat=server /> </body> </html>
Demonstration 4
Static XML

<ASP:XML> data sample
<%@ <%@ <%@ <%@ Page ContentType="text/xml" %> Import Namespace="System.Data" %> Import Namespace="System.Data.SQLClient" %> Import Namespace="System.Xml" %>
<script language="VB" runat=server> Sub Page_Load(Sender as Object, E as EventArgs) Dim conn as New SqlConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd as New SqlDataAdapter(select * from products", conn) Dim dataset As New DataSet() cmd.Fill (dataset, "dataset") Dim XmlDoc as XmlDocument = New XmlDataDocument(dataset) MyXml1.Document = XmlDoc End Sub </script> <asp:xml id="MyXml1" runat=server/>
Demonstration 5
Dynamically Bind XML

App settings
Application specific settings

Stored in web.config files Enables devs to avoid hard-coding them Administrators can later change them
Examples:

Database Connection String MSMQ Queue Servers File Locations

App settings steps
1.
Create web.config file in app vroot:

<appSettings> <add key=dsn value=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=;Database=foo/> </appSettings>
<configuration>
</configuration>
2.
To return value: Configuration.AppSettings(dsn)
Demonstration 6
Application Settings

Cookieless sessions
Session State no longer requires client cookie support for SessionID
Can optionally track SessionID in URL
Requires no code changes to app
All relative links continue to work

Cookieless sessions steps
1. 2.
Create web.config file in app vroot Add following text:

<system.web> <sessionState cookieless=true/> </system.web>
<configuration>
</configuration>

Smart navigation
Eliminates browser flicker/scrolling on browser navigation

Smooth client UI but with server code Automatic down-level for non-IE browsers
No client code changes required

<%@ Page SmartNavigation=true %> Alternatively set in web.config file

Error Handling Tips And Tricks

Page tracing
ASP.NET supports page and app tracing

Easy way to include debug statements No more messy Response.Write() calls!
Great way to collect request details

Server control tree Server variables, headers, cookies Form/Querystring parameters

Page tracing steps
1.
Add trace directive at top of page <%@ Page Trace=True %> Add trace calls throughout page Trace.Write(Button Clicked) Trace.Warn(Value: + value) Access page from browser
1.
1.
Demonstration 7
Page Tracing

Application tracing steps
1.

<system.web> <trace enabled=true requestLimit=10/> </system.web>
<configuration>
</configuration>
2.
Access tracing URL within app
http://localhost/approot/Trace.axd
Demonstration 8
Application Tracing

Error handling
.NET provides unified error architecture

Runtime errors done using exceptions Full call stack information available w/ errors Can catch/handle/throw exceptions in any .NET Language (including VB)
ASP.NET also provides declarative application custom error handling

Enable programmatic logging of problems Automatically redirect users to error page when unhandled exceptions occur

Error handling - Notes
.NET provides unified error architecture

Runtime errors done using exceptions Full call stack information available w/ errors Can catch/handle/throw exceptions in any .NET Language (including VB)
ASP.NET also provides declarative application custom error handling

Enable programmatic logging of problems Automatically redirect users to error page when unhandled exceptions occur

Application_Error
Global application event raised if unhandled exception occurs

Provides access to current Request Provides access to Exception object Enables developer to log/track errors
Cool Tip:

Use new EventLog class to write custom events to log when errors occur Use new SmtpMail class to send email to administrators
Demonstration 9 Writing to NT Event Log

Sending SMTP mail
<%@ Import Namespace=System.Web.Mail" %> <script language="VB" runat=server> Sub Application_Error(sender as Object, e as EventArgs) Dim MyMessage as New MailMessage MyMessage.To = someone@microsoft.com" MyMessage.From = "MyAppServer" MyMessage.Subject = "Unhandled Error!!!" MyMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html MyMessage.Body = "<html><body><h1>" & Request.Path & _ "</h1>" & Me.Error.ToString() & "</body></html>" SmtpMail.Send(MyMessage) End Sub </script>

Custom errors
Enable easy way to hide errors from end-users visiting a site

No ugly exception error messages Enables you to display a pretty site under repair page of your design
Custom Errors configured within an application web.config configuration file

Can be configured per status code number Can be configured to only display remotely

Custom error page steps
1.

<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode=remoteonly defaultRedirect=error.htm> <error statusCode=404 redirect=adminmessage.htm/> <error statusCode=403 redirect=noaccessallowed.htm/> </customErrors> </system.web> </configuration>
Demonstration 10 Custom Errors
Agenda

Production Tips And Tricks

Performance counters
Per Application Performance Counters
Enable easily monitoring of individual ASP.NET applications
Custom Performance Counters APIs

Now possible to publish unique applicationspecific performance data Great for real-time application monitoring Example: total orders, orders/sec
Demonstration 11 Performance Counters

Process model recovery
ASP.NET runs code in an external worker process aspnet_wp.exe

Automatic Crash Recovery Automatic Memory Leak Recovery Automatic Deadlock Recovery
Can also proactively configure worker process to reset itself proactively

Timer based Request based

Process model recovery - Notes
ASP.NET runs code in an external worker process aspnet_wp.exe

Automatic Crash Recovery Automatic Memory Leak Recovery Automatic Deadlock Recovery
Can also proactively configure worker process to reset itself proactively

Timer based Request based

Reliable session state
Session State can now be external from ASP.NET Worker Process

ASPState Windows NT Service SQL Server Session state survives crashes/restarts Multiple FE machines point to a common state store
Big reliability wins
Enables Web farm deployment

External session state steps
1.
Start ASP State Service on a machine
net start aspnet_state
1.
Create web.config file in app vroot, and point it at state service machine:
<configuration> <system.web> <sessionState mode=StateServer stateConnectionString=tcpip=server:port /> </system.web> </configuration>
Session Summary

Very easy to implement Little or no coding required for most Enhances the reliability of your apps
