Stepwise guide to localize a Windows Phone

Windows phone has been slowly and gradually gaining the market and place in the minds of windows phone programmers. Also, many ASP.NET programmers are keen to learn the facets of windows phone programming.

In order to localize a Windows phone,  the windows phone programmers need to separate the localizable resources from the rest of the code by creating the language-specific resource files. Here is the step-wise guide:

1. Create a Windows Phone 7 application project
2. Add a resource file for the default language of your application.
3. In the same resource file, add the strings that you want to be localized
4. Copy the resource file once for each additional language that you want your app to support
5. Translate the strings in the additionally added files
6. Edit the project file to define the additional languages the app will support
7. Set the mode of the Access Modifier file to ‘public’
8. Whenever you want to show a localized string in your app, you will have to bind to a specific property of the global resource that we have just defined

At SPEC INDIA, we are well-equipped with a trained team of around 40+ Mobile applications development professionals with an average experience of 2.8 years per engineer.  Feel free to post us your requirement at our email id lead@spec-india.com and our Business Development Executive of the concerned department will get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Happy Windows phone applications development!

Authentication of an ASP.NET Web application

Form authentication is the most commonly used authentication methods of all in ASP.NET programming. Depending on the Client requirement, as a programmer one might want to consider using the SSL throughout the site or at least on the login page. But overall, this approach is not so secure as it sends the User’s credentials to the server in clear context.

Lack of password policy, passing incorrect internal messages to the browser, using cookies and other insecure means to store the Users’ credentials, etc. are the possible deficiencies with decision of authentication policy in ASP.NET programming.

A web application’s authentication in ASP.NET can be further enhanced with the following:
> Password policy… enforcement of a password policy including strong passwords, password expiration, and possibly locking User accounts after some unsuccessful login attempts.
> Hashing of password… if you manage your authentication store, make sure to hash your all the passwords for the system
> Brute Force Attacks… introduction of a random delay of a few seconds on every login attempt will make the brute force attacks impractical to execute

Procedural programming in ASP.NET

Procedures – in ASP.NET programming terms are referred to as the collection of routines, subroutines, methods, or functions that contain a series of the computations steps or the logic of a program. Any given procedure might be called at any point during a program’s execution, including by other procedures or itself. It is also known as imperative programming; whereby the ASP.NET programmer specifies the steps that the program must take to reach the desired state.

The in-general advantages of the procedural programming are:
> The ability of the code to be strongly modular or structured
> Re-use of the same code at different places
> It is an easier way to keep track of program flow as compared to a collection of simple statements

Concluding, the procedural programming in ASP.NET programming is often a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming in many situations which demand some lesser level of complexity or which require rampant maintenance.

Code Access Security in ASP.NET

The ASP.NET security model provides code access permissions and code identity permissions. The code access security is the part of the ASP.NET security model that determines whether or not the code is allowed to run, and what resources it can use when it is running.

The CLR implements the Code Access Security based on the ‘evidence’ gathered about assemblies. Evidence includes such things as:
> Strong Name
> Publisher
> From where the assembly is being loaded
> The URL of the source directory, if in case the assembly was downloaded from the web

The administrator of the configure CAS policy in ASP.NET programming to restrict the resource types that the code can access and the other privileged operations it can perform. The Code Access Security allows the code to be trusted to varying degrees depending on where the code originates and on the other aspects of the identity of the code. The Code Access Security can also help minimize the damage that might result from the security issues or loopholes in the code.

Data Validation guidelines for ASP.NET applications

Data validation in ASP.NET programming is all about avoiding data cleanup tasks on the backend by avoiding bad data coming in. The ASP.NET validation controls and third party validation controls help you receive the right data in the right format. ASP.NET provides some nice controls to perform validation.

A controlled and centralized web framework can offer many advantages related to security to the web applications. In ASP.NET application development, it needs to be backed up with the page-specific security measures to ensure proper data validation. Here are some guidelines on employing proper data validation:
> Avoid the database write actions against the URL parameters
> Ensure that every POST action is actually done from an internal application page
> All the possible exceptions should send only user-friendly messages to the browser
> Any webpage displaying data on the browser that cannot be guaranteed to be safe should be encoded using the server.htmlencode. This will certainly prevent any malicious cross-site scripting attacks
> All the web pages should enforce strict data validation on any piece of data
> Consider the regular expressions as a great way to constrain input in ASP.NET

Thus, these were the basic guidelines to for effective implementation of data validation for ASP.NET programmers.

Introduction to Web Services in ASP.NET

From the books of programming, a web service is a service provided and invoked with the support of internet by using different web protocols, and with a standard interface description. It can also be explained as programmable application logic. They are very simple and easy to understand concepts in the context of ASP.NET programming. As such the usage of the web services are irrespective of the programming technology platforms… they can be used as a programmed logic in any platform, object model, or programming language used to implement that service.

An ASP.NET web service is a software system designed to support all the machine-to-machine interaction over a network. They have an interface described in a machine-process able format. The other systems interact with the web services in a fashion prescribed by its description using the SOAP messages, typically conveyed using the HTTP with an XML serialization in coordination with the other web-related standards.

What is ADO.NET?

This article holds some important information and introduction to ADO.NET (ActiveX Data Objects for .NET). ADO was for the first time released in 1996 and it represented a new way of dynamically retrieving data from any database in ASP.NET programming.

ADO.NET is an object-oriented set of libraries that allows you to interact with data sources. Commonly, the data source is a database, but it could also be a text file, an Excel spreadsheet, or an XML file. But overall, it is used as a way to interact with a data base. ADO.NET is sometimes considered an evolution of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) technology, but was changed so extensively that it can be considered an entirely new product.

Thus, ADO.NET is the .NET technology for programmers to interact with data sources. You have several Data Providers, which allow communication with different data sources, depending on the protocols they use or what the database is.

Common ASP.NET Application Security Flaws

For highly secure ASP.NET Web applications, such as Internet banking sites, you may want to implement a more secure solution for user authentication than the user name and password combination. You can use client-side digital certificates to verify the identity of the user. In addition, you can map client-side digital certificates to Windows accounts on the server if necessary.

There is a wide array of attacks that ASP.NET web applications need to protect against but most security holes are due to flaws in the following:

Authentication... makes easier for attackers to reveal the User’s credentials, or worse to dig down the application’s authentication altogether. The secure password policy, brute force attacks and password hashing are the part of authentication mechanism.

Authorization… Allowing logged-in users to perform actions without authorization verification. This can possibly be ensured with all ASP.NET web pages in a consistent manner.

Data validation… is all about trusting data submitted by the User and then acting upon it. It is generated by the lack of data consistency throughout the web, and failing to encode the data sent to the server.

App configuration… is about using some default configuration on the application and hosted server. Different applications require different configurations but the focus of this section is on those that fall under the responsibility of the web developer.

Managed Code in ASP.NET

In ASP.NET programming, the term Managed Code is used to describe the code that will execute only under the management of a Common Language Runtime Virtual Machine. In the same reference to context, the code that does not depend on the Common Language Runtime is known as unmanaged code.

Increased security, and structured and convenient code are the main benefits of managed code. Moreover, it also supports in process of quality assurance practices in process of ASP.NET programming.

The code which is not managed can bypass the ASP.NET framework and make direct calls to the operating system. A point of concern here can be like the Managed code cannot be accessed outside of the runtime environment. It also cannot call any function directly outside the runtime environment.

Exception Handling in ASP.NET

Exceptions or errors are unusual occurrences that happen within the logic of an application. The CLR has provided structured way to deal with exceptions using Try/Catch block. While errors occur in ASP.NET programming, they either get handled or needs re-look at the code. While an unhandled exception propagates, the User may be redirected to an error page using different ASP.NET configuration settings.

The programmers can control the exceptions that get thrown and prevent a redirection. Error or exception handling in ASP.NET can be further categorized into 2 categories as below:

• Handling exceptions as and when they are thrown
• Redirecting the User to an error page when errors go unhandled

Logically, as a ASP.NET developer, you cannot program for every possibility. Hence, they are imminent.

Metadata: Concept in ASP.NET programming

Metadata – typically means the data within the data files. With reference to ASP.NET programming, meta data is the binary information which describes the characteristics of a resource. This information includes the description of the Assembly, data types and members with their security permissions, declarations, implementations, references to other types and members, etc.

In ASP.NET programming, the metadata describes all classes and class members that are defined in the assembly, and the members which the current assembly will call from another assembly. Moreover, the metadata eliminates the need for interface definition language (IDL) files, header files, or any external method of component reference.

During the compilation of any program, both the metadata and MSIL are together wrapped in a Portable Executable files. Now, when the program is running, the JIT compiler of CLR uses the metadata and converts the MSIL into a native code. And when the code is executed, the runtime loads metadata into memory and references it to get the information about the code’s classes, members, inheritance, and so on.

ASP.NET Strong Names

In ASP.NET programming terms, a strong name consists of the assembly's identity — its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided) — plus a public key and a digital signature.

In particular, strong names satisfy the following requirements:

They guarantee name uniqueness by relying on unique key pairs. No one can generate the same assembly name that you can, because an assembly generated with one private key has a different name than an assembly generated with another private key.

Strong names protect the version lineage of an assembly for ASP.NET programmers. It can ensure that no one can produce a subsequent version of your assembly. Users can be sure that a version of the assembly they are loading comes from the same publisher that created the version the application was built with.

Strong names provide a strong integrity check. Passing the .NET Framework security checks guarantees that the contents of the assembly have not been changed since it was built. Note, however, that strong names in and of themselves do not imply a level of trust like that provided, for example, by a digital signature and supporting certificate.

Satellite Assembly in ASP.NET Programming

A compiled code library used for deployment, version, and security is known as assembly in ASP.NET programming terms. A single assembly can consist of one or more files. Microsoft’s Visual Studio does not support using different languages in one assembly.

A classic .NET framework assembly contains resources specific to a give programming language. With usage of the satellite assemblies, one can place the resources for different languages in different assemblies. The correct assembly s then loaded into memory only if the User selects to view the application in that language. Overall, the assemblies must contain culture-neutral resources. If as a ASP.NET programmer, you want to localize the assembly, then you should go for satellite assembly.

A process assembly represents a process that will use classes defined in library assemblies. There are basically two types of assemblies: process assemblies (.exe) and library assemblies (.dll).

Multithreading in ASP.NET

In ASP.NET programming, there are indeed many operations which demand to run in parallel with the main code, but demand very high CPU usage. The examples include acquiring a database and waiting for the results, any heavy 3rd party software integration, etc. – hence, here the ASP.NET programmers are suffering a heavy and loaded input/output operation. Thus, the application will be dead with no response until this time consuming operation completes.

A common solution for this problem in ASP.NET programming in multithreading.

Multithreading is a technique that can be used to perform time consuming tasks in a separate additional thread other than the main application thread. The .NET framework provides you with a class library that allows you to use multithreading and asynchronous programming techniques. In multithreading technique, you can use the thread pool to conquer the new thread, or you can also create it manually. Actually, it depends on the level of control you want to have over the new thread.

Thus, by using multithreading, you can use 2 threads in parallel – the main one, and the newly created one. Both are running in parallel, and this certainly improves the performance and responsiveness of an application.

Basic FCL Namespaces in ASP.NET Programming

We had already introduced our readers to the Framework Class Library in ASP.NET via one of the article in the first week of January. The .NET framework class library is a library of classes, interfaces, and value types that provide access to functionality of the system. All the types in the Framework Class Library are Common Language Specification (CLS) compliant.

The .NET framework contains a lot of namespaces, and each class is arranged in a namespace that best describes its purpose. All the basic FCL classes are located in the root namespace System. The classes, which are provided by any 3rd party developers are recommended to follow the standard NameSpace format of CompanyName.TechnologyName.

Structure of a Namespace:
A basic fully qualified classname example would be System.Collections.ArrayList. The part to the left of the last dot is generally the namespace, while the part to the right of the last for is the classname.

The FCL is based on the common type system. The common type system allows the framework to operate with the multiple languages within a managed runtime.

Global Assembly Cache in ASP.NET

The Global Assembly Cache, popularly known as GAC is a machine-wide .NET assemblies cache for CLR (Common Language Runtime) platform. This justifies their approach of having a specially controlled central repository addresses the shared library concept and helps to avoid the drawbacks. In simpler terms, every computer on which the CLR is installed has a machine-wide code cache – and that is known as Global Assembly Cache (GAC). It enables you to share assemblies across numerous applications for ASP.NET developers.

The GAC is automatically installed with the .NET runtime. It is located in ‘Windows/WinNT’ directory and inherits the directory’s access control list that administrators have used to protect the folder. This is a very unique feature for all the ASP.NET developers. The Global Assembly Cache Tool allow you to view and manipulate the contents of the GAC.

Common Language Specification: ASP.NET Programming Concept

The CLS rules basically define a subset of the Common Type System. The Common Language Specification is the basic set of rules to which any language which is targeting the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) should confirm in order to interoperate with other CLS-compliant languages. It has been defined as a set of basic language features needed by many applications, which the ASP.NET developers need to develop the applications and services.

When it comes to communication between different objects in .NET languages, those objects must expose all the features that are common to all the languages. The CLS ensures complete interoperability among applications, regardless of the language used to create the application.

It defines a set of Common Type System (CTS) – which in turn describes a set of types that can use different languages for interaction. The Common Language Specification is standardized by ECMA too.

Garbage Collection in .NET

The garbage collection is an inline program running in background to Windows applications. It is basically a mechanism to release the unreferenced objects from the memory. The ASP.NET developers no longer need to worry about the need to manage the life-cycle of the objects they create – the garbage collector will take care of them once the application has finished with them.

When a program creates an Object, the Object takes up the some chunk of the available memory. Later, when the program has no more references to that Object, the Objects’ memory becomes unreachable, but not freed as such. The Garbage collection inspects to see if there are any Objects that are no longer being used by the application. If such objects exist, then the memory used by these Objects can be reclaimed. So, these unreferenced Objects should be removed from memory, and then the other new Objects the developers create can find a place in the program.

In ASP.NET language, there is a provision that we can call Garbage Collector explicitly in the program by calling System.GC.Collect.
