- 6. Today’s Agenda – Getting Started • Tools We Will Use • ASP .Net 3.5 Overview • Project Setup/Configuration • WebForms Overview • Server Controls • User Controls • Master Pages • Debugging and Tracing • New Features in ASP .Net 3.5
- 7. ASP .Net 3.5 Overview • ASP .Net 3.5 is a technology that allows programmers to create dynamic web sites. • ASP .Net can be used to create small personal web sites or Enterprise applications • ASP .Net is part of the .Net Framework • .Net Framework consists of the Framework Class Library and the Common Language Runtime
- 8. Tools We Will Use • VS 2008 Professional or Visual Web Developer 2008 • SQL Server Express Edition or higher (2005 or 2008) Express Edition or higher • Links to download these products can be found on http://msdn.microsoft.com • VS2008 available from MS, MSDN or Team System subscription or contact Bill Scherer Jr (SRA Enterprise Solutions
- 9. Working with .Net Projects – VS2003 • VS2003: Single solution file. Project precompiled into a single DLL, ASPX markup pages deployed. • Pros: – Compiles/debugs like other projects (WinForms, etc.) – Slightly more efficient. – Single file deployment + referenced DLLs + HTML. • Cons: – Not easy to use in team environments. – Often leads to monolithic DLLs for large sites.
- 10. Working with Projects - VS2005 VS2005: Website Compilation Model – All files compiled on demand. Pros: Works better in teams. Easy to deploy/test incremental updates. Cons: Can be difficult to upgrade from VS2003. First hit incurs compilation overhead. May mean more files to deploy.
- 11. Working with Projects - VS2008 • VS2008: Both models supported out of the box. File -> New -> Web Site File -> New -> Web Site File -> New -> Project -> ASP.NET Web App New style New style Old style New style
- 12. Demo • Create a new website using ASP .Net 3.5 and VS2008
- 13. Web Forms Key Points • ASPX pages handled by a handler that facilitate the page lifecycle and events (such as Page_Load, PreRender, and control events). • Uses ViewState to encoded state-specific information otherwise lost in the stateless nature of HTTP. • Extensive controls library to abstract functionality. Buttons, textboxes, etc. • Extensible. • Web Forms have a .aspx file extension.
- 14. Server Controls • Typically compiled into a DLL. • Represents a small piece of functionality, like a textbox or button. • Responsible for handling any special rendering requirements, raising events, etc. Properties Event Handlers
- 15. User Controls • Collections of HTML and/or Server Controls for a broader purpose – such as a login dialog box. • Typically part of a project and compiled with the project. • Can expose properties.
- 16. HTML Controls • Take any HTML tag and add a runat=“server” tag. • This converts the HTML tag into a server- side ASP .Net control • Allow us to program server side events
- 17. Master Pages • Same look and feel to many pages; code in one spot.
- 18. ViewState (p29) • The HTTP Protocol is a stateless protocol • Web Pages use a Request/Response model • ViewState allows us to save the state of a server control across multiple page requests • Comes with performance overhead • Enabled by default for each control
- 19. Demo • Add page level tracing to existing page • Examine page lifecycle • Examine Viewstate cost • Write to trace log • We can determine if the page is posting back by using the Page.IsPostback property • We can turn tracing and debugging
- 20. Dynamic Compilation (p35) • When we create an ASP .Net page we are creating source code for a .Net class • Pages are compiled and stored in a temp folder on the web server • Unlike classic ASP the page will not be recompiled again, unless we disable dynamic compilation • This allows support for thousands of
- 21. Code Behind vs Single File Pages • In a single file ASP .Net page, a single file contains both the page code and page controls • A code behind has the page code in a separate file • Which should you use? (p45)
- 22. New Features of VS2008 • Javascript Intellisense/Debugging support • Nested Master Pages • Enhanced CSS Management • Multi-targeting support. • New data controls. • MUCH improved designer.
