The most important files are code files, Solution File, and the project files generated by the wizards. APPENDIX A PROJECT FILES 495 TableA-2. File Types Serial Number File Type File Extension Description 1 Code File .vb or .cs Whenever a project is created in Visual Studio .NET, a code file is created in which the code is stored. Here are a few examples of what the code file could contain: WmdowsForm Class Module (Not inC#) Component Class User Control Custom Control Code File Inherited Form Web Custom Control Inherited User Control Windows Service COM Class Transactional Component Installer Class Web Form Web Service Web Custom Control 2 DataSet .xsd A file for creating an XML schema with DataSet classes. 3 XMLFile . xml XMLfiles. 4 XMLSchema .xsd Schema for XML documents. 5 HTMLPage .html An HTML page that can include client-side code. Even Frameset can be saved as an HTML file. 6 Text File .txt Similar to creating a text file from Notepad . 7 XSLTFile . xslt A file used to transform XML documents. 8 StyleSheet .css A cascading style sheet used for rich HTML style definitions. 9 Crystal Report .rpt Visual Studio .NET is integrated into Crystal Reports and provides a designer to help in the creation of a Crystal Report file that publishes data to a Windows or Web form. 10 Bitmap File .bmp Similar to creating a Bitmap file from MSPaint. 11 Cursor File .cur Wm32 cursor file. 12 Icon File .ico Wm32 icon file. 13 Assembly .resx These are Resource files that are used in the application. Continued 496 APPENDIX A PROJECT FILES TableA-2. File Types (continued) Serial Number File Type File Extension Description 14 Assembly .vb or .cs This is the other rue that Information File is created with all types of projects under Visual Studio.NET. These files contain attributes that control general information about an assembly. Attributes added by default to the C# or VB Project differ. The important thing to note is that this file can contain the Key File attribute, which is used to add files to the GAC. A few examples or these attributes follow. Though the default Assembly Information files created for VB and C# differ, you always have the option of adding these attributes yourself. Here are few of these attributes to give you an idea of the possibilities: C# [assembly: AssemblyTitle("")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("l.O. *")] [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(""~l [assembly: AssemblyKeyName("" ] VB <Assembly: Guid("6CBEBB65-SC1D- 43BS-8A7F-02216B92BCDE")> <Assembly: CLSCompliant(True)> 15 Application .config Prior to configuration, Configuration File we had INI files (or the registry) to change the settings of Applications. .NET now provides a standard way for changing these setting options. The file also contains other options and has standard tags to reduce the number of lines of code and promote ease of maintenance . 16 JScript File . js A script file containing I Script code. 17 VBScript File .vbs A script rue containingVBScript code 18 Windows .wsf A file containing script that Script Host is run as a Windows program. 19 Web Forms .aspx ASPX files are ASP. NET files that are created for web applications. With previous versions, the ASP file extension was . asp. With ASP.NET the code and presentation are separated; the code is stored in the VB or CS file, while the ASPX file contains the presentation, i.e., HTML or server controls.

  • 1. What Is .NET Framework?
    1. What is .NET Framework? The .NET Framework is the foundation on which you can design, develop, and deploy applications. t is the core of the .NET infrastructure. t e!ists as a layer "etween the .NET applications and the underlying operating system. The .NET Framework encapsulates much of the "asic functionality, such as de"ugging and security services, which was earlier "uilt into various programming languages. #. What does .NET Framework consists of? The .NET Framework consists of We" forms, Windows forms, and console applications that pertain to the presentation layer of an application. We" forms are used in We"$"ased applications, whereas Windows Forms are used in Windows$"ased applications for providing an interactive user interface. n addition, you can create character$"ased console applications that can "e e!ecuted from the command line. %esides these three components, the .NET Framework consists of two other components, the .NET Framework %ase &lasses and the &ommon Language (untime )&'(). +. Write a note on, a. -rogramming methodologies The .isual /tudio .NET programming methodology allows for mixed$ language programming. This is esta"lished through a &ommon Type /ystem )&T/) that is de0ned for all the languages that .NET Framework supports. 1ll these languages compile into an intermediate language "efore they compile in native code. Therefore, the .NET developer has the independence to code one module of an application in one language and the other module of the same application in another language. ". -latform technologies The .NET Framework includes platform technologies like 1DO.NET, 1/-.NET, and .%.NET. 1DO.NET allows .NET applications to communicate with a data"ase for retrieving, accessing, and updating data.

  • Dot Net Programming CLASS: TYBBA(CA) V SEM (2013 PATTERN)
    DNYANSAGAR ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, BALEWADI, PUNE – 45 Subject: 503 : Dot Net Programming CLASS: TYBBA(CA) V SEM (2013 PATTERN) Unit 1 :Introduction to .Net Framework Introduction to .NET Framework .NET is a software framework which is designed and developed by Microsoft. The first version of the .Net framework was 1.0 which came in the year 2002. In easy words, it is a virtual machine for compiling and executing programs written in different languages like C#, VB.Net etc. It is used to develop Form-based applications, Web-based applications, and Web services. There is a variety of programming languages available on the .Net platform, VB.Net and C# being the most common ones. It is used to build applications for Windows, phone, web, etc. It provides a lot of functionalities and also supports industry standards. .NET Framework supports more than 60 programming languages in which 11 programming languages are designed and developed by Microsoft. The remaining Non-Microsoft Languages which are supported by .NET Framework but not designed and developed by Microsoft. Common Language Runtime(CLR): CLR is the basic and Virtual Machine component of the .NET Framework. It is the run-time environment in the .NET Framework that runs the codes and helps in making the development process easier by providing the various services such as remoting, thread management, type-safety, memory management, robustness, etc.. Basically, it is responsible for managing the execution of .NET programs regardless of any .NET programming language. It also helps in the management of code, as code that targets the runtime is known as the Managed Code and code doesn’t target to runtime is known as Unmanaged code.

  • Interview Questions ASP.NET
    Interview Questions ASP.NET 1. Describe the role of inetinfo.exe, aspnet_isapi.dll andaspnet_wp.exe in the page loading process. inetinfo.exe is theMicrosoft IIS server running, handling ASP.NET requests among other things.When an ASP.NET request is received (usually a file with .aspx extension),the ISAPI filter aspnet_isapi.dll takes care of it by passing the request tothe actual worker process aspnet_wp.exe. 2. What’s the difference between Response.Write() andResponse.Output.Write()? The latter one allows you to write formattedoutput. 3. What methods are fired during the page load? Init() - when the pageis instantiated, Load() - when the page is loaded into server memory,PreRender() - the brief moment before the page is displayed to the user asHTML, Unload() - when page finishes loading. 4. Where does the Web page belong in the .NET Framework class hierarchy? System.Web.UI.Page 5. Where do you store the information about the user’s locale? System.Web.UI.Page.Culture 6. What’s the difference between Codebehind="MyCode.aspx.cs" andSrc="MyCode.aspx.cs"? CodeBehind is relevant to Visual Studio.NET only. 7. What’s a bubbled event? When you have a complex control, like DataGrid, writing an event processing routine for each object (cell, button, row, etc.) is quite tedious. The controls can bubble up their eventhandlers, allowing the main DataGrid event handler to take care of its constituents. 8. Suppose you want a certain ASP.NET function executed on MouseOver overa certain button. Where do you add an event handler? It’s the Attributesproperty, the Add function inside that property.

  • Programming with Windows Forms
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.

  • Appendixes APPENDIX A
    PART 8 Appendixes APPENDIX A COM and .NET Interoperability The goal of this book was to provide you with a solid foundation in the C# language and the core services provided by the .NET platform. I suspect that when you contrast the object model provided by .NET to that of Microsoft’s previous component architecture (COM), you’ll no doubt be con- vinced that these are two entirely unique systems. Regardless of the fact that COM is now considered to be a legacy framework, you may have existing COM-based systems that you would like to inte- grate into your new .NET applications. Thankfully, the .NET platform provides various types, tools, and namespaces that make the process of COM and .NET interoperability quite straightforward. This appendix begins by examin- ing the process of .NET to COM interoperability and the related Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW). The latter part of this appendix examines the opposite situation: a COM type communicating with a .NET type using a COM Callable Wrapper (CCW). ■Note A full examination of the .NET interoperability layer would require a book unto itself. If you require more details than presented in this appendix, check out my book COM and .NET Interoperability (Apress, 2002). The Scope of .NET Interoperability Recall that when you build assemblies using a .NET-aware compiler, you are creating managed code that can be hosted by the common language runtime (CLR). Managed code offers a number of ben- efits such as automatic memory management, a unified type system (the CTS), self-describing assemblies, and so forth. As you have also seen, .NET assemblies have a particular internal compo- sition.

  • ADO.NET in Disconnected Mode
    C21613753.fm Page 1047 Monday, March 18, 2002 10:58 AM ADO.NET in Disconnected Mode In the preceding chapter, you saw how to work with ADO.NET in connected mode, processing data coming from an active connection and sending SQL commands to one. ADO.NET in connected mode behaves much like classic ADO, even though the names of the involved properties and methods (and their syntax) are often different. You see how ADO.NET differs from its predecessor when you start work- ing in disconnected mode. ADO 2.x permits you to work in disconnected mode using client-side static recordsets opened in optimistic batch update mode. This was one of the great new features of ADO that has proved to be a winner in cli- ent/server applications of any size. As a matter of fact, working in disconnected mode is the most scalable technique you can adopt because it takes resources on the client (instead of on the server) and, above all, it doesn’t enforce any locks on database tables (except for the short-lived locks that are created during the update operation). Note To make code samples in this chapter less verbose, all of them assume that the following Imports statements have been specified at the top of each source file: Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.OleDb Imports System.Data.SqlClient 1047 C21613753.fm Page 1048 Monday, March 18, 2002 10:58 AM 1048 Part V Database Applications The DataSet Object Because ADO.NET (and .NET in general) is all about scalability and perfor- mance, the disconnected mode is the preferred way to code client/server appli- cations.
