Why to shift from ASP to ASP.NET?

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 platform

Thus, 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.

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

Key Components of Web Services in ASP.NET Programming

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 protocols

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.

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.

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.

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.

Multithreading in ASP.NET

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.

Introduction to .NET Framework Class Library

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.
