How can you enable automatic paging in DataGrid ?

Using the Built-In Paging Controls

To use default paging, you set properties to enable paging, set the page size, and specify
the style of the paging controls. Paging controls are LinkButton controls. You can choose
from these types: Next and previous buttons. The button captions can be any text you
want. Page numbers, which allow users to jump to a specific page. You can specify how
many numbers are displayed; if there are more pages, an ellipsis ( … ) is displayed next
to the numbers. You must also create an event-handling method that responds when users
click a navigation control.

To use the built-in paging controlsSet the control’s AllowPaging property to true. Set the
PageSize property to the number of items to display per page.

To set the appearance of the paging buttons, include a element into the page as a child of
the DataGrid control. For syntax, see DataGrid Control Syntax. Create a handler for the
grid’s PageIndexChanged event to respond to a paging request. The
DataGridPageChangedEventsArgs enumeration contains the NewPageIndex property,
which is the page the user would like to browse to. Set the grid’s CurrentPageIndex
property to e.NewPageIndex, then rebind the data.

What is the difference between login controls and

Forms authentication?
Login controls are an easy way to implement Forms authentication without having to
write any code. For example, the Login control performs the same functions you would
normally perform when using the FormsAuthentication class—prompt for user
credentials, validate them, and issue the authentication ticket—but with all the
functionality wrapped in a control that you can just drag from the Toolbox in Visual
Studio. Under the covers, the login control uses the FormsAuthentication class (for
example, to issue the authentication ticket) and ASP.NET membership (to validate the
user credentials). Naturally, you can still use Forms authentication yourself, and
applications you have that currently use it will continue to run.

What is Tracing in ASP.NET ?

ASP.NET introduces new functionality that allows you to write debug statements,
directly in your code, without having to remove them from your application when it is
deployed to production servers. Called tracing, this feature allows you to write variables or
structures in a page, assert whether a condition is met, or simply trace through the
execution path of your page or application

Where we can use DLL made in C#.Net ?

Supporting .Net, bcoz DLL made in C#.Net semicompiled version. Its not a com object.
It is used only in .Net Framework.As it is to be compiled at runtime to byte code.
If A.equals(B) is true then A.getHashcode & B.getHashCode must
always return same hash code.

The answer is False because it is given that A.equals(B) returns true i.e. objects are equal
and now its hashCode is asked which is always independent of the fact that whether
objects are equal or not. So, GetHashCode for both of the objects returns different value.

What does it meant to say “the canonical” form of XML?

The purpose of Canonical XML is to define a standard format for an XML document.
Canonical XML is a very strict XML syntax, which lets documents in canonical XML be
compared directly.
Using this strict syntax makes it easier to see whether two XML documents are the same.
For example, a section of text in one document might read Black & White, whereas the
same section of text might read Black & White in another document, and even in another.
If you compare those three documents byte by byte, they’ll be different. But if you write
them all in canonical XML, which specifies every aspect of the syntax you can use, these
three documents would all have the same version of this text (which would be Black &
White) and could be compared without problem. This Comparison is especially critical
when xml documents are digitally signed. The digital signal may be interpreted in different
way and the document may be rejected.Continue Reading ASP.Net Interview Questions

One of ASP.NET’s most useful features is the extensibility of the HTTP pipeline, the
path that data takes between client and server. You can use them to extend your ASP.NET
applications by adding pre- and post-processing to each HTTP request coming into your

How do I change the permission set for a code group?

By koolkampus ⋅ April 14, 2006 ⋅ Email this post ⋅ Print this post ⋅ Post a comment
⋅ Add to Technorati Favorites

Use caspol. If you are the machine administrator, you can operate at the ‘machine’ level -
which means not only that the changes you make become the default for the machine, but
also that users cannot change the permissions to be more permissive. If you are a normal
(non-admin) user you can still modify the permissions, but only to make them more
restrictive.
For example, to allow intranet code to do what it likes you might do this: caspol -cg 1.2
FullTrust
Note that because this is more permissive than the default policy (on a standard system),
you should only do this at the machine level - doing it at the user level will have no
effect.

How do you handle data concurrency in .NET ?

By koolkampus ⋅ April 14, 2006 ⋅ Email this post ⋅ Print this post ⋅ Post a comment
⋅ Add to Technorati Favorites

One of the key features of the ADO.NET DataSet is that it can be a self-contained and
disconnected data store. It can contain the schema and data from several rowsets in
DataTable objects as well as information about how to relate the DataTable objects-all in
memory. The DataSet neither knows nor cares where the data came from, nor does it
need a link to an underlying data source. Because it is data source agnostic you can pass
the DataSet around networks or even serialize it to XML and pass it across the Internet
without losing any of its features. However, in a disconnected model, concurrency
obviously becomes a much bigger problem than it is in a connected model.
In this column, I’ll explore how ADO.NET is equipped to detect and handle concurrency
violations. I’ll begin by discussing scenarios in which concurrency violations can occur
using the ADO.NET disconnected model. Then I will walk through an ASP.NET
application that handles concurrency violations by giving the user the choice to overwrite
the changes or to refresh the out-of-sync data and begin editing again. Because part of
managing an optimistic concurrency model can involve keeping a timestamp
(rowversion) or another type of flag that indicates when a row was last updated, I will
show how to implement this type of flag and how to maintain its value after each
database update.

Yes, we can do this, but to handle errors, we must know the error codes; only then we can
take the user to a proper error message page, else it may confuse the user.
CustomErrors Configuration section in web.config file:
The default configuration is:
< customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="Customerror.aspx" >
< error statusCode="404" redirect="Notfound.aspx" / >
< /customErrors >
If mode is set to Off, custom error messages will be disabled. Users will receive detailed
exception error messages.
If mode is set to On, custom error messages will be enabled.
If mode is set to RemoteOnly, then users will receive custom errors, but users accessing
the site locally will receive detailed error messages.
Add an < error > tag for each error you want to handle. The error tag will redirect the
user to the Notfound.aspx page when the site returns the 404 (Page not found) error.

[Example]
There is a page MainForm.aspx
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles MyBase.Load
‘Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim str As System.Text.StringBuilder
str.Append(”hi”) ‘ Error Line as str is not instantiated
Response.Write(str.ToString)
End Sub
[Web.Config]
< customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Error.aspx"/ >
‘ a simple redirect will take the user to Error.aspx [user defined] error file.
< customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="Customerror.aspx" >
< error statusCode="404" redirect="Notfound.aspx" / >
< /customErrors >
‘This will take the user to NotFound.aspx defined in IIS.

What are CAO’s i.e. Client Activated Objects ?

By koolkampus ⋅ March 14, 2006 ⋅ Email this post ⋅ Print this post ⋅ Post a
comment ⋅ Add to Technorati Favorites

Client-activated objects are objects whose lifetimes are controlled by the calling application
domain, just as they would be if the object were local to the client. With client activation,
a round trip to the server occurs when the client tries to create an instance of the server
object, and the client proxy is created using an object reference (ObjRef) obtained on
return from the creation of the remote object on the server. Each time a client creates an
instance of a client-activated type, that instance will service only that particular reference
in that particular client until its lease expires and its memory is recycled. If a calling
application domain creates two new instances of the remote type, each of the client
references will invoke only the particular instance in the server application domain from
which the reference was returned.
In COM, clients hold an object in memory by holding a reference to it. When the last
client releases its last reference, the object can delete itself. Client activation provides the
same client control over the server object’s lifetime, but without the complexity of
maintaining references or the constant pinging to confirm the continued existence of the
server or client. Instead, client-activated objects use lifetime leases to determine how long
they should continue to exist. When a client creates a remote object, it can specify a
default length of time that the object should exist. If the remote object reaches its default
lifetime limit, it contacts the client to ask whether it should continue to exist, and if so,
for how much longer. If the client is not currently available, a default time is also
specified for how long the server object should wait while trying to contact the client
before marking itself for garbage collection. The client might even request an indefinite
default lifetime, effectively preventing the remote object from ever being recycled until
the server application domain is torn down. The difference between this and a server-
activated indefinite lifetime is that an indefinite server-activated object will serve all
client requests for that type, whereas the client-activated instances serve only the client
and the reference that was responsible for their creation. For more information, see
Lifetime Leases.
To create an instance of a client-activated type, clients either configure their application
programmatically (or using a configuration file) and call new (New in Visual Basic), or they
pass the remote object’s configuration in a call to Activator.CreateInstance. The
following code example shows such a call, assuming a TcpChannel has been registered to
listen on port 8080.
What is Runtime Callable wrapper?.when it will created?.

The common language runtime exposes COM objects through a proxy called the runtime
callable wrapper (RCW). Although the RCW appears to be an ordinary object to .NET
clients, its primary function is to marshal calls between a .NET client and a COM object.
This wrapper turns the COM interfaces exposed by the COM component into […]

document but XSDs are much more powerful. The disadvantage with the Document Type
Definition is it doesn’t support data types beyond the basic 10 primitive types. It cannot
properly define the type of data contained by the tag. An Xml Schema provides an Object
Oriented approach to defining the format of an xml document. The Xml schema support
most basic programming types like integer, byte, string, float etc., We can also define
complex types of our own which can be used to define a xml document. Xml Schemas
are always preferred over DTDs as a document can be more precisely defined using the
XML Schemas because of its rich support for data representation.

Reference Type: Reference types are allocated on the managed CLR heap, just like
object types. A data type that is stored as a reference to the value’s location. The value of a
reference type is the location of the sequence of bits that represent the type’s data.
Reference types can be self-describing types, pointer types, or interface types

Value Type: Value types are allocated on the stack just like primitive types in VBScript,
VB6 and C/C++. Value types are not instantiated using new go out of scope when the
function they are defined within returns.

Value types in the CLR are defined as types that derive from system.valueType.

A data type that fully describes a value by specifying the sequence of bits that constitutes
the value’s representation. Type information for a value type instance is not stored with
the instance at run time, but it is available in metadata. Value type instances can be
treated as objects using boxing.

What is the difference between a Struct and a Class ?

The struct type is suitable for representing lightweight objects such as Point, Rectangle,

in some scenarios. For example, if you declare an array of 1000 Point objects, you will
allocate additional memory for referencing each object. In […]

Why is XmlSerializer so slow?

There is a once-per-process-per-type overhead with XmlSerializer. So the first time you

What is serialization?

Serialization is the process of converting an object into a stream of bytes. Deserialization

is the opposite process of creating an object from a stream of bytes. Serialization /

objects (e.g. to a file or database).

Is the lack of deterministic destruction in .NET a problem?

It’s certainly an issue that affects component design. If you have objects that maintain

Why doesn’t the .NET runtime offer deterministic destruction?

Because of the garbage collection algorithm. The .NET garbage collector works by

destroyed and the memory reclaimed. The implication of this algorithm is that […]

[XmlIgnore] attribute. Ultimate control of the serialization process can be acheived by
implementing the the ISerializable interface on the class whose instances are to be

distributed objects - unfortunately the runtime offers no help with this.

Can two application one using private assembly and other using Shared assembly be
stated as a side-by-side executables? Side-by-side execution is the ability to run multiple
versions of an application or component on the same computer. You can have multiple
versions of the common language runtime, and multiple versions of applications and
components that use a version of the runtime, on the same computer at the same time.
Since versioning is only applied to shared assemblies, and not to private assemblies, two
application one using private assembly and one using shared assembly cannot be stated as

How is the using() pattern useful? What is IDisposable? How does it

The using() pattern is useful because it ensures that Dispose() will always be called when

method) goes out of scope, even if it does so by an exception being thrown, and thus that
resources are always released.

Before the .NET Framework existed, Windows had two levels of trust for downloaded
code. This old model was a binary trust model. You only had two choices: Full Trust, and
No Trust. The code could either do anything you could do, or it wouldn’t run at all.

The permission sets in .NET include FullTrust, SkipVerification, Execution, Nothing,

LocalIntranet, Internet and Everything. Full Trust Grants unrestricted permissions to
system resources. Fully trusted code run by a normal, nonprivileged user cannot do
administrative tasks, but can access any resources the user can access, and do anything
the user can do. From a security standpoint, you can think of fully trusted code as being
similar to native, unmanaged code, like a traditional ActiveX control.

GAC assemblies are granted FullTrust. In v1.0 and 1.1, the fact that assemblies in the
GAC seem to always get a FullTrust grant is actually a side effect of the fact that the
GAC lives on the local machine.� If anyone were to lock down the security policy by
changing the grant set of the local machine to something less than FullTrust, and if your
assembly did not get extra permission from some other code group, it would no longer
have FullTrust even though it lives in the GAC.
