I have been asked to create a small decision making program in asp.net. The criteria is that is must be table driven and not code driven so managers can make changes to the questions and responses. I was curious if anyone has seen an example online before?
I wouldn't taking a peek at how someone else accomplished this. I believe I have a good handle on the database side, I am more concerned on the display side.
but I am rather confused about what to invest in. I heard that server-side code translates into client-side code. So, if you have an .aspx file, it will be converted to HTML/CSS/JavaScript. I have experience with the latter three technologies put into a rather dull text file and rendered by a web browser. My question is how much HTML/CSS/Javascript coding would I have to do when server-side programming? In other words, can someone using ASP.NET program purely on the server side and not bother to write for the client side? Of course, I don't care about server-side being translated into client-side, but I am wondering if client-side programming needs to be done explicitly and to what degree.
View 4 RepliesI have been searching the net for four hours now and am coming up empty.What I am trying to do is to check and see if a value exsits in a column of a gridview and if it does not then do something. Basically I have a gridview that gets populated when a value in a dropdownlist is selected. This works fine. I get the information for the gridview by binding it to a SQLDataSource that returns two columns in a table from my SQL Server. The gridview only has two columns and one row as I am checking it from the dropdownlist. The second boundfield column is called Manufacturing Fee and it is a Money Type in SQL Server. I want to check if there is any value or if it ISNULL. If it is NULL or empty or less than 1 (any if these will work) then I am going to hide a button on the page so the user cannot do anything until this value gets assigned. (I know how to create this logic).I do not know how to get a value from the GridView as I am not selecting anything so I cannot use the SelectedIndexChange event or ONClick event.
View 6 RepliesConsider the following scenario: Page written in classic ASP or PHP, which is rendering a data report (series of HTML tables for simplicity). There is one main database query and then multiple sub queries as the page renders. The report is split into sub panels, which correlate to a sub query. Therefore:
Main database query. Loop over result. For each row, execute sub query and render report panel. How would you architect a similar report using the MVC pattern? This can be split into two parts: Efficiency at database level of multiple queries, which are dependent on values from an outer query. If all data was processed and prepared in the controller, would this also be deemed inefficient if looping within the controller and then again in a view to render. Could sub controllers be used or sub panels, which encapsulate smaller sections of logic i.e. loading data and rendering report panel.
I have two control page in my aspx page. first one left side "tree view",second one right side " form design".Form design will change based on tree view selected index changed.i have 4 level child node(site, master , slave, space). I have seperate forms to each level of node.
cannot update tree node when update the forms. so i reload tree view.
now i need how to auto selected index change to tree node.
ex.
1 parent node
1.1 child node
1.2 child node
i have update "1.2 child node" rename to "1.3 child node"
and reload treeview so it will chage...
how set tree node.selected index = 1.3 child node....

View 6 RepliesI'm a seasoned programmer with years of experience in Windows Forms development using different programming languages as already stated in this question: Will learning WPF improve my skills in ASP.NET? ASP.NET or any Web based programming language doesn't feel natural for me to explore or to use. Although I am unfamiliar with Web based technologies, my curiosity about these grows and grows. In addition to it, I am aware of the market place Web based programming takes. I would like to expand my knowledge and experience to the Web, though would it be just to know what I'm talking about instead of speculating whatever.
My experience as an information and process systems developer allows me to understand the concepts and some of the basics. I am aware that Web based applications are stateless, for instance, and that I need to use session or viewstate variables to keep the information the user is working with alive, otherwise I would loose them. I also understand the basics of Ajax based controls such as the UpdatePanel, which is to update or to refresh only a part of a UI page rather than reloading everything through the connection again. I can get that CSS defines styles for your page's sections and that you may change radically your Website's aspect just by changing the CSS reference. I am also aware of masterpages, which I don't really understand, in fact.
Programming Model
I just watched this video about choosing the right model for me/my application:
Choosing the Right Programming Model. If looks like ASP.NET MVC, which I thought was the best approach, is more for the veteran Web developers, people who are comfortable with Web applications. I have used a lot of DataBinding in Windows Forms, and WebForms seems to be more what I'm looking for into ASP.NET, until they say that MVC allows for Unit Testing, TDD and Agile methodologies, which I adhere to, as a certified Professional Scrum Master. I'm a bit mixed up on what will be more natural for me speaking of programming model.
Questions
Taking into account my base of knowledge and my experience, what programming model do you think I'm going to be more comfortable with? Will choosing one over the other allow me to get acquainted enough with ASP.NET to one day try the other model? In the video about choosing the Programming Model both sat on ASP.NET, I heard about DataBinding while using Web Forms, but no mention of DataBinding in the MVC model. Is there any possible DataBinding in MVC?
As a web programmer do I need to learn any more languages to enhance my career? I work in a .NET environment and am good at C#, but have zero skill in VB.

View 1 RepliesI am in a partnership with someone. We are currently planning a system that can either use ASP.NET MVC or PHP With //Insert your framework here//. At this stage I can't say to much. Now the thing is I have a bit of experience with C# and MVC. I understand the concepts and actually wrote a fully functional blog with it. Now the other side of me wants to take PHP for a test drive. Will I waste my time? How good will ASP.NET MVC scale against PHP? I have to say that I love visual studio and the integration of MVC tools like quickly adding a view and a controller... Everything fits nicely. But the learning curve was quite steep and still is. I haven't really touched AJAX and Jquery yet but how easy is it to use it with ASP.NET MVC? I already googled and researched this but I want opinions of those who have been working with these technologies.
View 6 RepliesI'm doing some asp.net mvc coding using DDD. I have objects representing the business entities and service repositories that handle fetching and adding them. I'm new to this and as my application grows I begin to see a lot of secondary code that must run as a result of adding, deleting or changing my domain objects/data.
I'd like to make an event driven system where one action triggers other parts of code to run. For instance when I delete a user I want to be able to subscribe a number of other things to this action so they all are run when a delete takes place.
How have you coded your applications to handle these situations? How can I establish a reliable and coherent OO system for my problem? I already know about events and delegates but I'm more interested in coding techniques and nice practices.

Is it possible to use MSMQ in web ?
Is it possible to use socket programming in web ?
Its because i am calling SP in every 5 seconds and its very lengthy. I want to use socket programming or MSMQ in LIVE trading system because if any thing update or modify in tables then only web page get notification from MSMQ or Socket and i will bind my page then only. And if possible then its secure and perfect for web live environment ?
I was looking a report on internet that data warehousing is much lucrative and highly paid IT career. I am talking about technologies like abinitio etl datastage teradata. I work in ASP.net and sql server 05. Is it a good thought to move from web programming to data warehousing technologies. Since I would have no experience with data warehousing would I be eligible for a good pay? What technologies other than data warehousing are hot in terms to salary? I know, this may sound immature but I am planning to start my own business in future and would need capital for that.

View 4 RepliesA bit of background: I am familiar with PHP and Java, did some C, C++ and Lisp (gasp!) back in programming classes but never used them too much. So, I've been wanting to step out of PHP a bit for web development. I have a few reasons for this (in no particular order): there's a lot of amateurish code(rs) in PHP, which somehow makes me look bad; I am unhappy with a few quirks in the language; and I really want to try something new. Here are the options I've been looking at:
Python and Ruby (on Rails): They both seem nice, but it looks like I'll have some difficulty finding webhosts that run these. And it appears that Python scripts aren't as portable as PHP (correct me if I am wrong).SP.NET: I have an issue with Microsoft software kind of existing in their own realm. I mean, MS has some really good tools for developers and if you stay within those tools your life is easy. But if you deviate just a bit out of it, you are on your own. And oh, it's not opensource.
So what do you recommend? And if I go with Python (it's tempting), should I use a framework like Django or web2py or should I go down and dirty with the basics (same thing with ASP.NET and MVC)?
EDIT: What I don't like about PHP:
No namespaces
Implicit type conversions can cause problems
Many silent errors
No unicode support
Slow
....
Imagine I'm developing a webform with two dropdownlists and a submit button. The second dropdownlist depends on the choice in the first, and both are loaded dynamically using webmethods being called with javascript in de ASPX page (ajax). When I submit the form to the server, to save the data, I can't get the value of those dropdownlists. I think it is because with client AJAX no viewstate data is being generated. I need to send the data to the server and save the webform data, and identify wich data is on each webcontrol.

I was asked to design a asp.net website with modular programming, yet I have no clue what that actually means, does he mean structured programming?, everything I've found on modular programming has no relation to an asp.net website (or its code behind). Could someone explain what it means if: I have a database connection on each page of the website rather than having the connection string in the global or webconfig page? Does this mean structured or modular? In what terms could you achieve modular programming with a website that has no loadable modules? Its just a site with a few connection strings and some clever programming to do some fancy html?
I've seen other posts about webparts and cms but really have no understanding of them? Are they relevant? Unsure. My site is just a social network site that allows some one to login/create account with the website then go to his own profile and display things about himself that are saved to our database. Nothing in it requires modules as far as I can tell? So it makes me think is it a different method of actually "programming" writing the code? i.e is it stored in a different manner is it refrenced in a different manner is called in a different manner?
