INTRODUCTION TO .

NET FRAMEWORK
Microsofts new software development platform, .NET Framework, is the first Microsoft development environment designed from the ground up for Internet development. Although .NET is not meant to be used exclusively for Internet development, its innovations were driven by the limitations of current Internet development tools and technology. The basis of this new development platform consists of three primary components or layers: the common language runtime, the .NET Framework base classes, and the user and program interfaces. .NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software. Integrated across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems more rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise of information anytime, anywhere, on any device. We can reveal Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) as an object-oriented computer language that can be viewed as an spiritual evolution of Microsoft's Visual Basic (VB) implemented on the Microsoft .NET framework. .NET framework is an essential component of the windows operating system which helps in creating applications by integrating different programming languages such as C#, C++, JSP, and Visual C++. This framework consists of a virtual execution system called as Common Language Runtime (CLR) and a set of class library. The .NET framework is used to integrate the business logic of an application, implemented in various programming languages and services. Consequently it reduces significant improvement in code reusability, specialization, resource management, development of application in multiprogramming languages, security, deployment and administration of programs developed in multiple programming languages. ARCHITECTURE OF .NET FRAMEWORK .NET framework consists of the common language runtime,.net framework class library, windows form, asp.net form, console application, activex data object, .net framework class library, common language specification , common type system and .net languages such as c#, VB, VC++.

EVOLUTION OF .NET Microsoft released its first version of .net with the name of .net framework 1.0 on 13th February 2002, along with the visual studio .net 2002 integrated development environment (IDE). The second revised version of .net framework 1.1 took nearly a year to release. Microsoft visual studio.net better known as visual studio. .Net 2003 was also a part of second release. The next version of .net framework 2.0 was released with visual studio .net 2005 on 7th November 2005. INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL BASIC .NET Visual Basic is a programming language based on the original DOS language called BASIC. VB .NET 2005, an offshoot of visual basic, is an object oriented programming language based on VB that is implemented using the Microsoft .NET framework. The syntax of visual basic language remains unchanged in VB.NET 2005, but includes additional features such as structured exception handling and short circuited expressions to enhance the infrastructure of the programming language.

Visual Basic .NET is a programming language that can be used to create windows forms or web applications and create programming based in any object oriented programming language(OOP),ADO.NET ,multithreading or windows services. regular expressions and deployment. VB.NET programming utilizes concepts connected to string encryptions, forms inheritance,

COMMON LANGUAGE RUNTIME(CLR):It is a compiler for whole .NET framework. It takes over application which is written in .NET converts it into its the native processor or Microsoft Intermediate language(MSIL) code or machine understandable code and finally runs it. i.e CLR is the interface between application & Operating System. The CLR manages the execution of the code , hence the code that works on CLR is called the manage code.

Components of .NET Framework

VB.NET IDE:-

The Vb.net IDE is consisting of a no of components these are: menu bar, toolbar, project explorer, properties window, form layout window, toolbox, form designer & object browser.

Fine9

THE TOOLBARS:A tool bar contains a set of controls that are used to place on a form at design time. There by creating the user interface area. Additional controls can be included in the toolbox by using the component menu item on the project menu. A toolbox is presented on fig below. The toolbar give you quick access to commonly used menu commands. Besides the main toolbar, the visual basic IDE provides additional toolbar for specific purposes, such as editing, form design & debugging. The standard toolbar is just below the menu bar & is displayed by default. The edit toolbar contains the command for the edit menu. The debug toolbar contains the command of the debug menu. The form editor toolbar contains the command of the format menu.

THE PROJECT EXPLORER:The window titled project is the project explorer, which displays the components of the project. The project components are organized in folder, & the project window is called explorer. Visual basic 6 can manage projects & group of projects. THE PROPERTIES WINDOWS:-

The property window contains the property setting for the selected control. Properties are attributes of an object, such as its size; caption & color .you can adjust the appearance of the control on the form with point & click operation. THE TOOLBOX:The toolbox contains the icons of the controls you can place on a form to create the applications basic IDE & their names are shown as follows. Picture box is used to display images, & the images are set with the picture property. The picture box control supports a number of methods for generating drawing. Label displays text on a form that the user cannot edit. Labels commonly identify other controls on the form. Textbox displays text that the user can edit. The textbox control is a mini text editor, & its most important property, is the text property, which can set the text on the control or read the text that the user enters.

Fine9

Command button- is the most common element of the windows interface .a command button represents an action that is carried out when the users click the button.

Check box- presents one or more choices that the user can select. The check box controls main property is value, & it is 0 if the check box is cleared & 1 if the check box is checked .the check box is a toggle. Every time it is clicked, it changes status.

Option button- or radio buttons appear in groups & the user can chose only one of them. The option button main property is checked, & it is true if the control is checked & false otherwise. It is a toggle. Every time it is clicked, it changes status.

Combo box- is similar to the list box control, but it contains a text edit field. The user can either choose an item from a list or enter a new string in the edit field. The item selected from the list is given by the controls text property.

List box- contains a list of option from which the user can choose one or more. It can contain property of the list box determines whether the items in the list will be sorted.

The horizontal & vertical scroll bar- let the user specify a magnitude by scrolling the controls button between its minimum & maximum value.

Fine9

Timer perform task at regular interval, which determines how often the timer notifies your application.

A FEW COMMON PROPERTIES:The following properties apply to most objects. Name sets the name of the control, through which you can access the controls properties & methods. Appearance can be 0 for a flat look & 1 for a 3-D look. Back color sets the background color on which text is displayed or graphics are drawn. Fore color sets the fore ground color.

Font sets the face, attribute & size of the font used for the text on the control. Caption sets the text that is displayed on many controls that dont accept input. Text sets the text that is displayed on the control that accepts users input. Width, Height sets the controls dimension usually the dimension of a control is determined with the visual tools. But you can read the controls dimension or set them from within your code with these properties.

Left, Top sets the co-ordinate of the control upper left corner, expressed in the unit of the the form lay out window, but you can change it from within your code with these two properties.

Enabled value is true, which means that the control can get the focus. Set it to false to disable control. A disabled control appears gray & cannot accept users input.

Visible- set this property to false to make a control invisible. Sometimes you use invisible & should not be seen or manipulated by the user.

DECLARATION OF VARIABLE VB.NET:-

Fine9
DIM <variable name>as <data type> DIM result as integer

We often need to store values temporarily when performing calculation with visual variable for storing values. Variables have a name & a data type. In case of VB.net we declare a variable using DIM statement (DIM=Dimension)

DATATYPES IN VB.NET:Variables have a name & a data type. The data types of a variable determine how the bits & bytes representing those values are stored on computer memorial variables have a data type that determines what kind of data they can store. The Data types available in VB .NET, their size, type, description are summarized in the table below.

Data Type Byte

Size in Bytes 1

Description 8-bit unsigned integer 16-bit Unicode characters 32-bit signed integer 64-bit floating point variable 64-bit signed integer 16-bit signed integer 32-bit floating point variable Non-Numeric Type

Non-Numeric Type Non-Numeric Type 128-bit floating point variable 16

System.Boolean System.Object System.Decimal

Decimal

OPERATORS IN VB.NET:Visual Basic .net comes with many built-in operators that allow us to manipulate data. An operator performs a function on one or more operands. There are different types of operators in Visual Basic and they are described below in the order of their precedence.

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic operations that involve calculation of numeric values. The table below summarizes them:

Operator ^ * / \ Mod + -

Use Exponentiation Negation (used to reverse the sign of the given value, exp -intValue) Multiplication Division Integer Division Modulus Arithmetic Addition

Concatenation Operators

Concatenation operators join multiple strings into a single string. There are two concatenation operators, + and & as summarized below:

Fine9
Subtraction Use String Concatenation String Concatenation

Operator + &

Comparison Operators

A comparison operator compares operands and returns a logical value based on whether the comparison is true or not. The table below summarizes them:

Operator = <> < > >= <=

Use Equality Inequality Less than Greater than Greater than or equal to Less than or equal to

Logical / Bitwise Operators

The logical operators compare Boolean expressions and return a Boolean result. In short, logical operators are expressions which return a true or false result over a conditional expression. The table below summarizes them: Operator Not And Or Use Negation Conjunction Disjunction

Fine9

PROGRAMMING CONSTRUCT

There are basically two types of control statements. Decision construct Looping construct

1.Decision-statements are of four types If.endif If.Else..endif Nested if Select case

2. Looping- statements are of three types While.end while Do.loop For..next

Sub Pocedure:-

Sub procedures are methods which do not return a value. Each time when the Sub procedure is called the statements within it are executed until the matching End Sub is encountered. Sub Main(), the starting point of the program itself is a sub procedure. When the application starts execution, control is transferred to Main Sub procedure automatically which is called by default. Function:A function is similar to a subroutine, but a function returns a result. Subroutines perform a task and dont report anything to the calling program; functions commonly carry out calculations and report the result. Because they return values, functionslike variableshave types. The value you pass back to the calling program from a function is called the return value, and its type must match the type of the function. Functions accept arguments, just like subroutines. The statements that make up a function are placed in a set of FunctionEnd Function statements, as shown here: Function NextDay() As Date Dim theNextDay As Date theNextDay = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 1, Now()) Return(theNextDay)

Working with Progress Bar Control in VB.Net

In this article you will learn how to work with Progress Bar Control and Mouse Wheel event of the window form. Create a New Project in VB.net. Drag a Progress bar control from tool box and place on form and now drag and drop four buttons on form having text l< << >> >l. this is simple interface for this purpose. Now write code on form load even of the form Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ProgressBar1.Minimum = 0 ProgressBar1.Maximum = 100 ProgressBar1.Value = 0 End Sub

Fine9

Now write code on button click events.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If ProgressBar1.Value < 100 Then ProgressBar1.Value += 5 End If End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click If ProgressBar1.Value > 0 Then ProgressBar1.Value -= 5 End If End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

Fine9

ProgressBar1.Value = 100 End Sub

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click ProgressBar1.Value = 0 End Sub This is code for buttons now we will see how we can work with progress bar with mouse wheel scrolling. Select MouseWheel event from form1 events.Now write simple code in this event:

Private Sub Form1_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseWheel If e.Delta > -1 Then If ProgressBar1.Value < 100 Then ProgressBar1.Value += 5 End If Else If ProgressBar1.Value > 0 Then ProgressBar1.Value -= 5 End If End If End Sub

Now in if condition you see that e.delta > -1 this is important for us when we scroll mouse one time control comes in this event and if we scroll wheel up side e.delta value will < 0 and if we scroll down side e.delta value > 0. Only remember these things in mind. Now see this condition ProgressBar1.Value < 100 we are handling the exception and also in ProgressBar1.Value > 0 because progressbar value should be in range of progressbar1.minimum and progressbar1.maximum. Button Control One of the most popular control in Visual Basic is the Button Control (previously Command Control). They are the controls which we click and release to perform some action. Buttons are used mostly for handling events in code, say, for sending data entered in the form to the database and so on. The default event of the Button is the Click event and the Button class is based on the ButtonBase class which is based on the Control class. Button Event The default event of the Button is the Click event. When a Button is clicked it responds with the Click Event. The Click event of Button looks like this in code: Working with Buttons Well, it's time to work with Buttons. Drag a Button from the toolbox onto the Form. The default text on the Button is Button1. Click on Button1 and select it's properties by pressing F4

Fine9

on the keyboard or by selecting View->Properties Window from the main menu. That displays the Properties for Button1. Important Properties of Button1 from Properties Window: Appearance Appearance section of the properties window allows us to make changes to the appearance of the Button. With the help of BackColor and Background Image properties we can set a background color and a background image to the button. We set the font color and font style for the text that appears on button with ForeColor and the Font property. We change the appearance style of the button with the FlatStyle property. We can change the text that appears on button with the Text property and with the TextAlign property we can set where on the button the text should appear from a predefined Below is the image of a Button.

Fine9
Creating a Button in Code CheckBox CheckBoxes are those controls which gives us an option to select, say, Yes/No or True/False. A checkbox is clicked to select and clicked again to deselect some option. When a checkbox is selected a check (a tick mark) appears indicating a selection. The CheckBox control is based on the TextBoxBase class which is based on the Control class. Below is the image of a Checkbox.

Notable Properties Important properties of the CheckBox in the Appearance section of the properties window are: Appearance: Default value is Normal. Set the value to Button if you want the CheckBox to be displayed as a Button. BackgroundImage: Used to set a background image for the checkbox.

CheckAlign: Used to set the alignment for the CheckBox from a predefined list. Checked: Default value is False, set it to True if you want the CheckBox to be displayed as checked. CheckState: Default value is Unchecked. Set it to True if you want a check to appear. When set to Indeterminate it displays a check in gray background. FlatStyle: Default value is Standard. Select the value from a predefined list to set the style of the checkbox. RadioButton Event The default event of the RadioButton is the CheckedChange event which looks like this in code: ListBox The ListBox control displays a list of items from which we can make a selection. We can select one or more than one of the items from the list. The ListBox control is based on the ListControl class which is based on the Control class. The image below displays a ListBox.

Fine9

Notable Properties of the ListBox In the Behavior Section HorizontalScrollbar: Displays a horizontal scrollbar to the ListBox. Works when the ListBox has MultipleColumns. multiple columns. MultiColumn: The default value is set to False. Set it to True if you want the list box to display ScrollAlwaysVisible: Default value is set to False. Setting it to True will display both Vertical and Horizontal scrollbar always. SelectionMode: Default value is set to one. Select option None if you do not any item to be selected. Select it to MultiSimple if you want multiple items to be selected. Setting it to MultiExtended allows you to select multiple items with the help of Shift, Control and arrow keys on the keyboard. Sorted: Default value is set to False. Set it to True if you want the items displayed in the ListBox to be sorted by alphabetical order. ComboBox ComboBox is a combination of a TextBox and a ListBox. The ComboBox displays an editing field (TextBox) combined with a ListBox allowing us to select from the list or to enter new text. ComboBox displays data in a drop-down style format. The ComboBox class is derived from the ListBox class. Below is the Image of a ComboBox.

Fine9

Notable properties of the ComboBox The DropDownStyle property in the Appearance section of the properties window allows us to set the look of the ComboBox. The default value is set to DropDown which means that the ComboBox displays the Text set by it's Text property in the Textbox and displays it's items in the DropDownListBox below. Setting it to simple makes the ComboBox to be displayed with a TextBox and the list box which doesn't drop down. Setting it to DropDownList makes the ComboBox to make selection only from the drop down list and restricts you from entering any text in the textbox. We can sort the ComboBox with it's Sorted property which is set to False by Default. We can add items to the ComboBox with it's Items property. TreeView The tree view control is used to display a hierarchy of nodes (both parent, child). You can expand and collpase these nodes by clicking them. This control is similar to Windows Explorer which displays a tree view in it's left pane to list all the folders on the hard disk. Below is the image of a Tree View control.

Fine9

Notable Properties of TreeView Bounds: Gets the actual bound of the tree node Checked: Gets/Sets whether the tree node is checked FirstNode: Gets the first child tree node

FullPath: Gets the path from the root node to the current node Index: Gets the location of the node in the node collection IsEditing: Gets whether the node can be edited IsExpaned: Gets whether the node is expaned IsSelected: Gets whether the node is selected LastNode: Gets the last child node NextNode: Gets the next sibling node NextVisibleNode: Gets the next visible node NodeFont: Gets/Sets the font for nodes Nodes: Gets the collection of nodes in the current node Parent: Gets the parent node of the current node PrevNode: Gets the previous sibling node PrevVisibleNode: Gets the previous visible node TreeView: Gets the node's parent tree view

ImageIndex: Gets/Sets the image list index of the image displayed for a node

Fine9

GroupBox Control

Fine9
As said above, Groupboxes are used to Group controls. GroupBoxes display a frame around them and also allows to display captions to them which is not possible with the Panel control. The GroupBox class is based on the Control class. Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e_ As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim GroupBox1 As New GroupBox() Dim CheckBox1 As New CheckBox() Dim Label1 As New Label() GroupBox1.Location = New Point(30, 60) GroupBox1.Size = New Size(200, 264) GroupBox1.Text = "InGroupBox" 'setting the caption to the groupbox Me.Controls.Add(GroupBox1)

CheckBox1.Size = New Size(95, 45) CheckBox1.Location = New Point(20, 30) CheckBox1.Text = "Checkbox1" label1.Size = New Size(100, 50) Label1.Location = New Point(20, 40) Label1.Text = "CheckMe" GroupBox1.Controls.Add(CheckBox1) GroupBox1.Controls.Add(Label1) 'adding the label and checkbox to the groupbox End Sub ToolTip ToolTips are those small windows which display some text when the mouse is over a control giving a hint about what should be done with that control. ToolTip is not a control but a component which means that when we drag a ToolTip from the toolbox onto a form it will be displayed on the component tray. Tooltip is an Extender provider component which means that when you place an instance of a ToolTipProvider on a form, every control on that form receives a new property. This property can be viewed and set in the properties window where it appears as Tooltip on n, where n is the name of the ToolTipProvider. To assign ToolTip's with controls we use it's SetToolTip method. which allows the tool tip to be displayed. Setting a ToolTip Assume that we have a TextBox on the form and we want to display some text when your mouse is over the TextBox. Say the text that should appear is "Do not leave this blank". The code for that looks like this: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e_ As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ToolTip1.SetToolTip(TextBox1, "Do not leave this blank") End Sub

Notable property of the ToolTip is the Active property which is set to True by default and

User Controls

User Controls are the controls which are created by the user and they are based on the class System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. Like standard controls, user controls support properties, methods and events. Once a user control is created it can be added to any form or any number of forms like all other controls. Creating a User Control To create a user control select File->New->Project->Visual Basic Projects and select Windows Control Library from the templates and click OK. Alternatively, you can add user control to the existing project by selecting Project->Add User Control. The image below displays the new project dialogue to add a User Control project.

Fine9

The form that opens after clicking OK looks like the image below. It looks similar to a normal form.

Fine9

Creating a User Control with Example Drag a Label and a TextBox control from the toolbox onto the new user control form. The image below displays that.

Double-click the user control form to open it's code behind file. In the code behind file type the following code below the Load event (under End Sub) of UserControl1 to set the property of the user control which is being created.

ADO.NET
ADO.NET was designed to meet the needs of this new programming model: disconnected data architecture, tight integration with XML, common data representation with the ability to combine data from multiple and varied data sources, and optimized facilities for interacting with a database, all native to the .NET Framework. ADO.Net Overview ADO.NET provides consistent access to data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server, as well as data sources exposed via OLE DB and XML. Data-sharing consumer applications can use ADO.NET to connect to these data sources and retrieve, manipulate, and update data. ADO.NET cleanly factors data access from data manipulation into discrete components that can be used separately. ADO.NET includes .NET data providers for connecting to a database, executing commands, and retrieving results. Those results are either processed directly, or placed in an ADO.NET DataSet object in order to be exposed to the user in an ad-hoc manner, combined with data from multiple sources, or remoted between tiers. The ADO.NET DataSet object can also be used independently of a .NET data provider to manage data local to the application or sourced from XML. The ADO.NET classes are found in System.Data.dll, and are integrated with the XML classes found in System.Xml.dll. ADO .Net Architecture 1. Data processing has traditionally relied primarily on a connection-based, two-tier model. As data processing increasingly uses multi-tier architectures, programmers are switching to a disconnected approach to provide better scalability for their applications 2. ADO.NET leverages the power of XML to provide disconnected access to data. 3. ADO.NET and the XML classes in the .NET Framework join in the DataSet object. The DataSet can be populated with data from an XML source, whether it is a file or an XML stream. The DataSet can be written as World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) compliant XML, including its schema as XML Schema definition language (XSD) schema, regardless of the source of the data in the DataSet. Because the native serialization format of the DataSet is

Fine9

XML, it is an excellent medium for moving data between tiers making the DataSet an optimal choice for remoting data and schema context to and from an XML Web service. ADO.NET DataSet: The DataSet object is central to supporting disconnected, distributed data scenarios with ADO.NET. The DataSet is a memory-resident representation of data that provides a consistent relational programming model regardless of the data source. It can be used with multiple and differing data sources, used with XML data, or used to manage data local to the application. The DataSet represents a complete set of data including related tables, constraints, and relationships among the tables. The DataSet can also persist and reload its contents as XML and its schema as XML Schema definition language (XSD) schema. ADO.NET Components: Data Set: The ADO.NET components have been designed to factor data access from data manipulation. There are two central components of ADO.NET that accomplish this: the DataSet, and the .NET data provider, which is a set of components including the Connection, Command, DataReader, and DataAdapter objects. Data Table: The DataSet contains a collection of one or more DataTable objects made up of rows and columns of data, as well as primary key, foreign key, constraint, and relation information about the data in the DataTable objects .NET Data Providers:Itis used for connecting to a database, executing commands, and retrieving results. Those results are either processed directly, or placed in an ADO.NET DataSet in order to be exposed to the user in an ad-hoc manner, combined with data from multiple sources, or remoted between tiers. The .NET data provider is designed to be lightweight, creating a minimal layer between the data source and the code, increasing performance without sacrificing functionality. Core Objects of .Net Data Provider: Object Description

Fine9

Connection

Establishes a connection to a specific data source.

Command

Executes a command against a data source. Exposes Parameters and can execute within the scope of a Transaction from a Connection.

DataReader

Reads a forward-only, read-only stream of data from a data source.

DataAdapter

Populates a DataSet and resolves updates with the data source.

Using DataReaders, SQL Server

Fine9

In this section we will work with databases in code. We will work with ADO .NET objects in code to create connections and read data using the data reader. We will see how to connect using our own connection objects, how to use the command object and so on. The namespace that needs to be imported when working with SQL Connections is System.Data.SqlClient. This section works with common database operations like insert, select, update and delete commands. Working with SQL Server When working with SQL Server the classes with which we work are described below. TheSqlConnectionClass TheSqlConnection class represents a connection to SQL Server data source. We use OleDB connection object when working with databases other than SQL Server. Performance is the major difference when working with SqlConnections and OleDbConnections. Sql connections are said to be 70% faster than OleDb connections.

TheSqlCommandClass TheSqlCommand class represents a SQL statement or stored procedure for use in a database with SQL Server. TheSqlDataAdapterClass TheSqlDataAdapter class represents a bridge between the dataset and the SQL Server database. It includes the Select, Insert, Delete and Update commands for loading and updating the data. TheSqlDataReaderClass TheSqlDataReader class creates a data reader to be used with SQL Server. DataReaders A DataReader is a lightweight object that provides read-only, forward-only data in a very fast and efficient way. Using a DataReader is efficient than using a DataAdapter but it is limited. Data access with DataReader is read-only, meaning, we cannot make any changes (update) to data and forward-only, which means we cannot go back to the previous record which was accessed. A DataReader requires the exclusive use of an active connection for the entire time it is in existence. We instantiate a DataReader by making a call to a Command object's ExecuteReader command. When the DataReader is first returned it is positioned before the first record of the result set. To make the first record available we need to call the Read method. If a record is available, the Read method moves the DataReader to next record and returns True. If a record is not available the Read method returns False. We use a While Loop to iterate through the records with the Read method. Sample Code Code to Retrieve Data using Select Command The following code displays data from Discounts table in Pubs sample database. Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim myConnection As SqlConnection Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim dr As New SqlDataReader() 'declaring the objects

Connection string to connect to Sql Server database which is on a remote server Below is an example of a connection string used to access a sql server database which is on the remote web server on the internet, using C# code in an .aspx file. string connectionString = "Data Source=201.73.323.39;database=FinAccounting;User ID=sssabc123;Password=scss456;"; In the above code, we assign the IP address of the server to the Data Source, assign the name of the database, assign the username and the password. The above code is used to connect to a database hosted on a web server. Let us see, what is a connection object, as the connection string is a property of the Connection Object. Connection Object

The Connection object establishes a connection to the database. Two of the most common Connection objects used are OleDbConnection and SqlConnection. Both the SqlConnection and OleDbConnection are namespaces and are inherited from the IdbConnection object. The commonly used property of the Connection object is the Connection string property. ConnectionString property This property is used to provide information, such as the data source and database name, that is used to establish the connection with the database. There are two ways of setting the Connection string property. 1. Using a parameterized Constructor 2. Using the default constructor Setting the Connection String property using a parameterized Constructor Visual basic 2005 Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Sub GetData()

Fine9

Dim connectionString As String = Data Source=SYS2; + integrated security=SSPI; + database=FinAccounting Dim myConnection As Sqlconnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString) myConnection.Open() End Sub In this method, we are taking advantage of the SqlConnection objects parameterized constructor to set the ConnectionString property directly, at the same time as it is instantiated. Setting the Connection String property using the default constructor In this method, we use the default constructor and then later set the ConnectionString property separately. Visual basic 2005 Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Sub GetData()

Dim myConnection As Sqlconnection = New SqlConnection() database=FinAccounting myConnection.Open() End Sub

myConnection.ConnectionString=Data Source=SYS2; + integrated security=SSPI; +

Note that the connection string must always be set before the connection is opened, and cannot be changed after the connection is open.

CRYSTAL REPORT Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide range of data sources. Several other applications, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, bundle an OEM version of Crystal Reports as a general purpose reporting tool.Crystal Reports became the de facto standard report writer when Microsoft released it with Visual Studio. Unlike previous versions of Visual Studio, Crystal Reports is an integral part of Visual Studio .NET and ships as a part of it. By making Crystal Reports a part of Visual Studio .NET suite,

Microsoft has added one more useful tool to the Visual Studio family. In this article, I will show you how to create a simple report using Crystal Reports and Visual Studio .NET. In my following article, I shall dig more into Crystal Reports .NET.

ASP.NET is a programing technology based on .NET framework & is used for create a dynamic web application which provides a unified web development model that includes the services necessary for developers to build enterprise-class web application. While ASP.NET is largely syntax compatible with ASP, it also provides a new programing model and infrastructure for more scalable and stable applications that help provide greater protection. ASP.NET is a compiled, .NET-based environment; we can author applications in any .NET compatible language, including VB.NET, c# And Jscript .NET. Developers can easily access the benefits of these technologies, which include the manage common language runtime environment, type safety, inheritance & so on. ASP.NET is one of the components available in Microsoft visual studio .NET. ASP broadly speaking is Active Server pages.ASP is used to create web applications taking all the features of .NET. FEATURES OF .NET:

Fine9
ASP.NET

New ASP .NET infrastructure: There is a new concept of managed code that runs in NGWS runtime, which manages the execution of the code. Increased performance: Pages in ASP.NET are compiles into a .NET class when they are run for first time.

Separation of HTML from ASP code: It was often said that JSP is offers separation of code and markup, which is not there in ASP.

Better Integration with XML:

Web services sends data back and forth in XML format. Security: Form based authentication:

Fine9

We can do our own custom login screens and own credential checking and still have ASP.NET Handle authenticating the user, redirecting unauthorized users back login page, cookie management all other we have to build.

STATIC WEB PAGE: A static web page is a web page that is deliver to the user exactly as stored in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application. Static web pages are often HTML documents stored as files in the file system and made available by the web server over HTTP. DYNAMIC PAGE:

Typically written in various scripting languages or technologies ASP, PHP, PEARL or JSP. WEB SERVER: A web server is a computer program that delivers (serves) content, such as web pages, using the HTTP, over the world wide web. The term web server can also refer to the computer or virtual machine running the program. The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages to client .This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as image, style sheets and Java scripts.

New ASP.NET infrastructure:There's a new concept of managed code that runs in NGWS runtime, which manages the execution of the code. And also the amount of coding is also reduced with two new concepts. First is code behind: once ASP.PAGE is complied, it creates a base class from which pages can inherit. And other is user controls, which allows the user to re-use sections of their own code. Increased performance:

Fine9

Pages in ASP.NET are compiles into a .NET class when they are run for first time. The class is stored in cache, which will be used for any future requests for the page. If the page is changed, class is recompiled and cached version changes automatically. Separation of HTML from ASP Code: It was often said that JSP is offers separation of code and markup, which is not there in ASP. With the improvement in ASP.NET it impossible to remove ASP scripting from the page. This makes ASP.NET applications now easier to maintain and update. Better Integration with XML: Web services sends data back and forth in XML format. So creation of web services has led to the services whose specific purpose is generation and utilization of XML files. Upgradation of ADO to ADO.NET also means greater support for XML. Quicker and Easier Development: The one thing any platform should do is to provide a solid foundation that we can build upon. With ASP.NET we get foundation where repetitive and annoying task are done for us.

Asp Control Statements

Fine9
Select...Case While...Wend For...Next Functions & Subroutine For Each....Next Exit

If...Then Do...While

Asp Control statements are statements that control the execution order.In asp there are three types of control statements. Conditional statements, Looping control , and jumping control. Asp Conditional statements 1) If....Then statement Asp if statement is used to help a programmer determine whether to execute one set of code or another. The syntax for an if statement is the following: <% If (expression) Then

'some code Else 'some other code End If %> Remember the following points while using If...Then

The result of expression must be True or False. WE can evaluate only one expression in an If..Then structure. If there are more than on line of action statements then you must use the End if . We can use nested if statements to check multiple conditions. Just remember to include and "End If" with each condition you test for. If you forget to include this the ASP Runtime will give you an error. Eg: <%

If Num = 100 Then Else End If %>

Response.Write("Cograt!! You got matching number") Response.Write("Sorry!!.Try Again")

Fine9

2) Select Case statement Select statements are useful when you want to test one condition and need to make a choice among several answers. The syntax is: <% Select Case num Case "1" Response.Write("num=1") Case "2" Response.Write("num=2") Case "3" Response.Write("num=3")

Case "4" Response.Write("num=4") Case Else Response.Write("num equals something else...") End Select %> The first line states that you want compare the values to variable 'num'.Then ASP test the contents of variable against the values shown in the 'case' line.If it finds a match it will execute the code upto the next case line and then jumpdown to first line after End select.Remember that it is case sensitive , ie. if we are looking for a variable 'FL' it is not same as 'Fl'. The following example gives an improved method of case select. <% Select Case strstate Case "FL" , "Fl" ,"fl" Response.Write("Your state is Florida") Case "NJ" , "Nj" ,"nj"

Response.Write("Your state is NewJersey") Case "NY" ,"Ny" , "ny" Case "CA" ,"Ca","ca" Case Else Response.Write("Your state is NewYork")

Response.Write("Your state is California")

Fine9

Response.Write("Your state not listed here.") End Select %>

Asp Looping Control 1) For...Next Statement The syntax is: <% For Count = StartCount to EndCount ----------

---------Next %> The for next staement has three parts.The first line describes how many times to repeat the loop.Second is a set of lines with action statements that carry out the task you want to repeat.Last line is end action statement and tells ASP to go back and repeat action statements again. Eg: <% For i = 10 to 14 response.write("This is " & i &" th line<hr>" next %>

2) For Each...Next statement

The FEN loop works identical to For..Next statement except that it is used to loop through collections like recordsets, form collections, or arrays.In this case we don't have to specify the number of times we want to loop. Eg: <% Dim strfrutes(3) strfrutes(0) = "grapes" strfrutes(1) = "oranges" strfrutes(2) = "apples" strfrutes(3) = "mangos" For each ft In strfrutes tesponse.write ft Next %>

Fine9

3)Do...While staement It is used to repeat the loop while specified condition exist. The difference between For Loop and Do Loop is that the For Loop did a specific action a certain number of times where as the Do Loop continues to do a specific action until the supplied statement is found to be true. Eg: <% i=10 Do While i<14 response.write("This is " & i & "th line.<hr>") i=i+1 Loop %>

4)While...Wend Statement

The While...Wend loop is very similar to the Do loop. This loop performs the requested action until a condition is met. The only difference is a small amount of syntax. <% ........ Wend %> The While loop is commonly used to loop through a recordset that has been returned from a database. That we will se in later portion.

Fine9

While {Condition}

Jumping Control Asp Functions And Subrouteins

In Asp function is a group of lines of code in a program that performs a specific task . A Sub is a group of lines of code in a program that performs a specific task. A function returns a value and a sub does not return a value. Asp Functions <% Function functionName(parameter) ............... Some code ............ End Function %> To use the function in the main progrm just type the named function followed by the parentheses. Asp Exit statement

Using the Exit statement you can force the flow of your program to exit the current set of logic it is in. An example of when you might want to do this is when you have a few nested if statements. Once you are in the if statements you check a certain condition and find it to be false. At this point you want to flow of your program to exit out of the current sub routine. With the Exit statement you can do this. Eg: <% i=10 Do While i<14 If i = 13 Then Response.Write("Exiting Do loop...") Exit Do End If response.write("This is " & i & "th line.<hr>") i=i+1 Loop Result: This code will loop through until i equals 13, then it will print "Exiting Do

Fine9

loop..." and exit the loop. Request, Response Objects Request and Response objects represent information coming into the Web server from the browser and information going out from the server to the browser. The Request object is called the input object and the Response object is called the output object.

Response Object As mentioned above, the Response object represents a valid HTTP response that was received from the server. The response header properties are read-only. Notable properties of the object are as follows:

Body: Gets the body of the HTTP response. Only the portion of the body stored in the response buffer is returned BytesRecv: Gets the number of bytes the client received in the response BytesSent: Gets the number of bytes send in the HTTP request ContentLength: Gets the size, in bytes, of the response body Headers: Gets a collection of headers in the response HeaderSize: Gets the combined size, in bytes, of all the response headers HTTPVersion: Gets the HTTP version used by the server for this response Path: Gets the path that was requested Port: Gets the server port used for the request ResultCode: Gets the server's response status code Server: Gets the name of the server that sent the response TTFB: Gets the number of milliseconds that have passed before the first byte of the response was received TTLB: Gets the number of milliseconds that passed before the last byte of the response was received UseSSL: Checks whether the server and client used an SSL connection for the request and response

CodePage: Gets or sets the code page used for setting the body of the HTTP response

Sample Code The following sample code assumes that you have a Button control and four RadioButtoin controls with a common GroupName property on a Web Form. The user will be sent to a new Web Page if he makes a selection from one of the radio button's and hits the Submit button. You can view the live demo at the bottom of this page. Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As_ System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim ccc As String = "Response Object" Response.Write(ccc) Response.Write("Using Response object") 'using the response object's write method to write some text End Sub Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As_ System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then

Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com") web page

'using the response object's redirect method to redirect the user to another ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked = True Then Response.Redirect("http://www.amazon.com") ElseIf RadioButton3.Checked = True Then Response.Redirect("http://www.yahoo.com") ElseIf RadioButton4.Checked = True Then Response.Redirect("http://www.startvbdotnet.com") End If End Sub Request Object

Fine9

As mentioned above, the Request object represents an HTTP request before it has been sent to the server. Notable properties of this object are as follows: Body: Gets/Sets the HTTP request body CodePage: Gets/Sets the code page for the request body

EncodeBody: Gets/Sets whether ACT automatically URL encodes the request body EncodeQueryAsUTF8: Gets/Sets whether ACT automatically UTF-8 encodes the request's query string Headers: Gets the HTTP Headers collection object HTTPVersion: Gets/Sets the HTTP version Path: Gets/Sets the HTTP path ResponseBufferSize: Gets/Sets the size of the buffer used to store the response body Verb: Gets/Sets the HTTP method verb Sample Code Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,_ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim s As String = Request.UserHostAddress() 'request's user's host address and writes using the response object's write method Response.Write(s)

Dim a As String = Request.ApplicationPath() 'request's the application path Response.Write(a)

Fine9

Dim aa As String = Request.Browser.Browser 'request's the type of browser Response.Write(aa) Dim b As String = Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath 'request's the current execution path Response.Write(b) Dim c As String = Request.FilePath 'request's the path to the file that you are currently working with Response.Write(c) Dim cc As String = Request.HttpMethod 'gets the HttpMethod

Response.Write(cc) If Request.Browser.Browser = "IE" Then 'checks to see if the browser is IE and if true displays a message Response.Write("You are using IE") Else Response.Write("You are using some other browser") End If Response.Write("Your computer is/has the following" & Request.Useragent) 'displays the user information about his computer End Sub

The example below demonstrates some of the attributes you may use with the TextBox control:

Example <html> <body> <form runat="server"> A basic TextBox: <asp:TextBox id="tb1" runat="server" />

<br /><br /> A password TextBox: <asp:TextBox id="tb2" TextMode="password" runat="server" /> <br /><br /> A TextBox with text: <asp:TextBox id="tb4" Text="Hello World!" runat="server" /> <br /><br /> A multiline TextBox: <asp:TextBox id="tb3" TextMode="multiline" runat="server" /> <br /><br /> A TextBox with height: <asp:TextBox id="tb6" rows="5" TextMode="multiline" runat="server" /> <br /><br />

A TextBox with width:

<asp:TextBox id="tb5" columns="30" runat="server" /> </form> </body> </html>

ListBox Web Server Control

Creates a single-selection or multiselection list box. <asp:ListBox id="Listbox1"

Fine9

DataSource="<% databindingexpression %>" DataTextField="DataSourceField" DataValueField="DataSourceField" AutoPostBack="True|False" Rows="rowcount" SelectionMode="Single|Multiple" OnSelectedIndexChanged="OnSelectedIndexChangedMethod" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem value="value" selected="True|False"> Text </asp:ListItem></asp:ListBox>

Remarks Use the ListBox control to create a list control that allows single or multiple item selection. Use the Rows property to specify the height of the control. To enable multiple item selection, set the SelectionMode property toListSelectionMode.Multiple. To specify the items that you want to appear in the ListBox control, place a ListItem element for each entry between the opening and closing tags of the ListBox control. The ListBox control also supports data binding. To bind the control to a data source, first create a data source, such as a System.Collections.ArrayList, that contains the items to display in the control. Next, use the Control.DataBindmethod to bind the data source to the ListBox control. Use the DataTextField and DataValueField properties to specify which field in the data source to bind to the Text and Value properties, respectively, of each list item in the control. The ListBox control will now display the information from the data source.

If the SelectionMode property is set to ListSelectionMode.Multiple, determine the selected items in the ListBoxcontrol by iterating through the Items collection and testing the Selected property of each item in the collection. If theSelectionMode property is set to ListSelectionMode.Single, you can use the SelectedIndex property to determine the index of the selected item. The index can then be used to retrieve the item from the Items collection.
