Configuration Files
Configuration files are XML files which are used to configure the web
sites.These files usually contain the settings which need to be done for all the
pages of web sites.

Web.config
Web application specific
Used to perform settings at application level

Machine.config
Specific to all the applications on a machine
Contains the configuration which is common to all the web sites

Error Handling in ASP.NET
Error Handling
.NET CLR provides structured Exception handling
Using try catch block
ASP.NET provides declarative error handling
Automatically redirect users to error page when unhandled exceptions occur
Prevents ugly error messages from being sent to users

<customErrors mode=On defaultRedirect=error.htm>
<error statusCode=404 redirect=adminmessage.htm/>
<error statusCode=403
redirect=noaccessallowed.htm/>
</customErrors>
Error Handling (Contd)
The mode attribute can be one of the following:
On
Error details are not shown to anybody, even local users
If you specify a custom error page it will be always used

Off
Everyone will see error details, both local and remote users
If you specify a custom error page it will NOT be displayed

RemoteOnly
Local users will see detailed error pages
Remote users will be presented with a concise page notifying them that an
error occurred

Note : Local user means User browsing the site on the same machine
where web applications are deployed
HTTP Status Codes
When content on a server that is running Internet Information Services
(IIS) is accessed using HTTP, IIS returns a numeric code that indicates the
status of the response

A few of the common Status Codes are:
404 - Not found
401 - Access denied.
404.7 - File extension denied.

Can you answer these questions?
What is difference between error handling done with Try-Catch-Finally
and the one that we discussed just now ?

Where you can see all the status codes for some standard errors?

Find out the meaning of status codes 501 and 502.

Data Binding

Data binding helps us to develop applications where controls can be
bound to the values stored in data source
Syntax for data binding is <%# source %>
When the DataBind method of the control is called, the expression is
evaluated and bound
DataBind for a single control (and subcontrols)
Page.DataBind binds all controls on a page

Data Binding
Supports binding to any data source
Properties, expressions, method calls
Collections (Array, Hashtable, etc.)
DataSet, DataTable, DataView, DataReader
XML
Single Value Data Binding
Involves binding server controls which can display single data at a time
TextBox,Label etc
Multi Record Data Binding
Involves binding server controls to structures ,ArrayList,DataView ,DataSet etc
DropDownList,ListBox,DataGrid,Repeater etc

Binding text to Label
Displaying Date and Time:
<asp:Label id=lblDateTime runat=server>
<%# DateTime.Now.ToString() %>
</asp:Label>

Displaying sum of two numbers:
<asp:Label id=lblSum runat=server>
<%# "The sum is "+ (23+10) %>
</asp:Label>

Binding text to DropdownList
// Create an object of ArrayList
ArrayList albooks=new ArrayList();
//Add Books into this collection
albooks.Add("Gone with The Wind");
albooks.Add("Visual Basic BlackBook");
albooks.Add("C# Complete Reference");
//set arraylist as dropdownlist datasource and bind it
drpBooks.DataSource =books;
drpBooks.DataBind();

Data Source controls in ASP.NET 3.5

Data Source controls
Data Controls
SqlDataSource Control
ObjectDataSource
SiteMapDataSource control
AccessDataSource control
XMLDataSource control
LINQ DataSource control


Is a data source control that represents a connection to an ADO.NET SQL
database provider, such as SQL, OLEDB, ODBC, or Oracle
This control can be declaratively bound to any data-bound control that
supports the DataSourceID property
Replaces the ADO.NET code , normally write in a page to create a connection
and command to query a database


ConnectionString
ProviderName
SelectCommand

Object Data Source controls

ObjectDataSource

This control object model is similar to the SqlDataSource control.
ObjectDataSource exposes a TypeName property that specifies an object type
(class name) to instantiate for performing data operations
This control allows developers to structure their applications using this
traditional three-tiered architecture

Properties of Object Data Source Control
TypeName
SelectMethod
UpdateMethod
DeleteMethod
InsertMethod

ObjectDataSource Control
TypeName property:

This is one of the important attributes which needs to be set for any
ObjectDataSource control.
Here, a class name is to specified. And the class contains all the
methods for data access.
This class is to be kept in App_Code folder of ASP.NET application

ObjectDataSource Control
Few attributes for data access class/methods:

DataObject Attribute: (Used for classes)
If true, class becomes a data component and will be listed during configuration
of ObjectDataSource control, if Show only data components check box is
checked.

DataObjectMethod Attribute: (Used for methods)
Can have values like
DataObjectMethodType.Select
DataObjectMethodType.Update etc.

SiteMapDataSource
This control enables you to declaratively data bind to site navigation data in
your pages
The SiteMapDataSource control is associated to a data-bound control through
the control's DataSourceID property
(Note: It is to be discussed after Navigation Controls)
XmlDataSource Control
This control supports declarative databinding to XML files
This Control is an example of a hierarchical data source
AccessDataSource Control
This control represents a connection to a Microsoft Access database.
This control derives from SqlDataSource
exposes a simple DataFile property for specifying the path to an MDB file,
instead of the complete connection string

Note: XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource and LinqDataSource will not be covered in
FP training

Data-bound Controls
Data Controls
GridView
Supports sorting, footers and headers
Events fired on the GridView

DetailsView
Great control that contains templates for CRUDing - Create, Retrieve, Update and
Delete (CRUD ) statements
EditTemplate, InsertTemplate, ReadOnlyTemplate, etc.

Form View

Appendix
DataList Control
The DataList control displays data items in a repeating list
Features:
Provides list output with editing
Default look is a table
Customized via templates
Directional rendering (horizontal or vertical)
Alternate item
Updateable
No paging

Repeater Control
Standard templates for Repeater controls
HeaderTemplate: rendered once before all data bound rows
ItemTemplate: rendered once for each row in the data source
AlternatingItemTemplate: like ItemTemplate, but when present is used for
every other row
SeparatorTemplate: rendered between each row
FooterTemplate: rendered once, after all data bound rows

Repeater Control

To bind embedded controls to the data source of the container control
DataBinder.Eval() method is used
DataBinder.Eval() method is provided by .net to evaluate expression

Syntax
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,DataFieldname") %>
Container represents the container for data items
DataField represents the name of data item field
Tracing in ASP.NET
Tracing
ASP.NET supports tracing
Easy way to include debug statements
No more messy Response.Write() calls
Great way to collect request details
Server control tree,Server variables, headers, cookies
Form/Query string parameters
Tracing provides a wealth of information about the page
Can be enabled at page or application level

<trace enabled="false
requestLimit="10
pageOutput="false
traceMode="SortByTime
localOnly="true" />
Tracing (Contd)
Methods
Trace.Write()
Writes category and text to trace
Trace.Warn()
Writes category and text to trace in red

Properties
Trace.IsEnabled
True if tracing is turned on for the application or just that page
Tracemode = [SortByTime | SortByCategory ]

Trace.axd
Http Handler( An Http Handler is a coding option that allows to handle
request/responses at the most basic level)
