The era of ASP.NET programming in the IT world has made many many programmers and customers to migrate from traditional ASP programming platform to ASP.NET programming platform. These up-gradations and provoked thought processes support them to make their business operations more effective and easy. They both too work on the same web server, hence future compatibility too is not a problem.Here are some of the standard reasons for shifting from classical ASP to ASP.NET programming:> Integration of any 3rd party APIs and code structures becomes relatively easy using ASP.NET> Both ASP and ASP.NET share the same web server, so compatibility is also not an issue> ASP.NET can manage thrice the number of requests and hits as compared to classic ASP> Lot of features are getting automatic in case of ASP.NET, and hence requires very fewer amount of efforts comparatively> Stability and scalability of the system gets increased in case of ASP.NET technology platformThus, there are a plenty of advantages associated for all the ASP.NET programmers to shift them to from classic ASP to the upgraded versions.At SPEC INDIA, we have a trained team of ASP.NET programming professionals to take care of your requirements.

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 executeAt SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

We have already published one blog post article with an introduction of web services, somewhere around the last month for ASP.NET programming. Basically, they are the software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interactions over an established network. A web service in ASP.NET development is built with the following components – XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. Their roles can be defined as:> UDDI… Universal Description, Design, and Integration – provides a directory of services on the internet> WSDL… Web Services Descriptional Language – here, the web services for a program are defined in terms of formats and message ordering> SOAP… through this, the web services consumers can send/receive messages using XML> XML & HTTP… they are built using the available open internet protocolsAt SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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 statementsConcluding, 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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.NETThus, these were the basic guidelines to for effective implementation of data validation for ASP.NET programmers.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.

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.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

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.

Thread in terms of computer science means a sequence of execution instructions that can run independently, that is a single flow of execution in a process. Multithreading allows multiple processes to execute concurrently within a single program. Multithreading in ASP.NET is very fast and it is able to use the maximum processing power of the computer processor. Every ASP.NET developer should understand the basics of how threads and processes work on the platform they are writing on the go.If multiple threads exist within a process, typically share the state information of a process, and also share memory and other resources directly. Each thread maintains exception handlers, a scheduling priority, and a set of structures the system uses to save the thread context until it is scheduled. Concluding..Using threading in the correct places in the code structure in your applications can greatly improve web server performance, and also provide the Users with a better web experience. So, threading is a very important concept for all the ASP.NET developers, and hope this article helps to build your first application using multithreading concept.At SPEC INDIA, we have a very experienced and trained team of software development professionals.

The .NET framework class library (FCL) provides the core functionality of .NET framework architecture. In standard conditions, the .NET framework classes, interfaces, and the value types that expedite and optimize the development process and provide an access to the system functionality. This is indeed a great support to all the ASP.NET programmers out here, as it has a lot of information to the in-built things that the Microsoft provides to the developers.The FCL is basically in a tree structure and it is divided into different classified namespaces. The Namespaces in a logical grouping of types and it serves the purpose of identification framework class library. The class library provides the consistent base types that are used across all the .NET enabled languages. The Classes are accessed by the namespaces, which reside within Assemblies. The System Namespace is the root for the types in the .NET framework.The .NET framework also supports the third-party components that can integrate with the classes in the .NET framework. All the types in the Framework Class Library are Common Language Specification (CLS) compliant. Thus, it allows any CLS compliant programming language to use the types – such as Delphi, C# or VB, and so on.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.

Any website or web-application is basically built on 2 facets.. server-side programming and Client-side programming. As the Client-side programming/operations increase, the programmers need to make user of more and more JavaScripts to make it more attractive. And as the use of JavaScripts increase, the browsers start responding with typically low response times. To overcome this, we need to combine all JavaScripts files in one. But as far as code maintainability is concerned, this is not the right move. Another way is to combine and minify all the JavaScript files on the program. This is the best possible solution. With .NET 4.5 and MVC 4, Microsoft has introduced a new feature called Bundling and Minification which bundles the multiple JavaScript and CSS files in one requests and minify their combine effect by removing white spaces and characters, which are not required. Microsoft introduced a new class called BundleTable which takes care of Bundling and Minification. The BundleTable class is shipped with two inbuilt Bundles for JavaScript and CSS respectively. However, the ASP.NET programmers can easily create their own custom Bundle as per the requirement. Thus, with .NET 4.5, it is easier to implement Bundling and Minification with very less effort and without major changes. Hope this will be helpful.At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe.
