I would like to have framework for tracking web site/page usage within company firewalls on asp.net platform. Want to track hits and integrate with particular feature within an application to understand end user usage (i.e. log particular actions of users in addition to simple page count type analytics). I have yet to find a framework to do this with asp.net/iis7 internal to a company (i.e. not google analytics).
View 1 RepliesI have an app with alot of anchor tags in it. I wanna see what ones a user clicked on during a session. I thought aspnet automatically saved that information here:
string sessID = System.Web.SessionState.SessionID;
But there is no such thing as SessionID in the SessionState namespace. Is this information saved automatically, if so how do I access it? Here is my simple html
<body> <form id="form1" runat="server">
<div> Page 2
<a href="{URL}">Visit W3Schools</a>
<br /> <a href="[URL]">Yahoos</a>
</div> </form> </body>
I need to log every user-action taken on a database using the username of the person logged into my ASP.net application as the identifier in the log. What is the easiest way to do this? I guess that for every method call to my data access layer I need to log the parameters of that call and the username and then call a new "log event" method that writes the details of the call to a table. Am I on the right track?

I have a user login panel(called loginPanel1) standart from visual studio login control. 2 textbox 1 login button.
textBox1=UserName
textBox2=password
loginbutton1
I have a simple database table for user records:
Userid: int 4 key unique
username: varchar 50 not null
pass: varchar 50 not null
On user click to login button i query usertable from mssql usertable. If password is match i create a sessionid to try the user is verified temporarily for page. (my method can be wrong i dont know good the session and membership login session carry in asp.page)
When user pass is correct i open session with following code.
SqlDataAdapter adaptor1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from userTable where userName='" + Login1.UserName+"'", sqlconnection1);
...
(cleared long code)
filling ds with adaptor here
..
loginbutton1 click event:[code]....
There can be methodoligcal mistakes.
My question related to above is: 1. I have a sessionid (for example i set timeout 1 hour ) with above check. When user want to post a comment to a journalentry. How can i query that sessionid that earlier login page created, and how to deal with that sessionid to logically belongs to that user. I mean i have a sessionid per logged user that is obtained with checking from sql database to verify the user. But at next page (comments.aspx), when user wanted to post a comment to a journal for example. What should i do about that sessionid in comments.aspx's page "post comment" button event to check if that user is logged in. My question or my method can be wrong for user authentication about logins. I could not much find another method that easy level to log a user and carry the information about user logged in.
2. should i carry that sessionid with url (if i could manage to carry the sessionid to next comments.aspx page), how will i use it to ask like "that id is obtained by username snoopy" is username snoopy has logged in because there is a sessionid about that.I mean how to use sessionid when a user logged in with earlier page login.aspx that wanted to post a comment in comments.aspx. explain to useage of sessionid for login check i would appreciate. I checked some topics, some of them uses loginPanel of visual studio's automatically created database without any code behind. Others deal too complicated for user login info carry between pages.

View 4 RepliesI use visual studio 2005 and now my team wants me to try my hand at some testing frameworks for asp.net websites.I'm completely new to testing. I want to know what kind of automated testing can I do.Can I test my business logic,Can I test my UI.I just started using NUnit and I am getting a hang of it. For Web UI testing I've tried Nunit asp.Somewhere I found about Selenium, which of this is better.Also is there an add-in to test Javascript code with NUnit.Is there an better alternative to NUnit.
View 1 RepliesAs per the increasing security threats, my site needs extreme care in terms of security in all aspects. I know asp.net has built in some security measures (Anti-forgery token, cross-site scripting, authentication, roles), but that is just not enough.I need a tool to test all possible security threats (Brute-force attacks, .... IP location, browser info ... )and a framework (open source is better) that handles all these concerns and let you build upon.
EDIT,So to narrow a bit, my primary concern is protecting the "login" page from all possible threats.
I am looking to make the jump from PHP and Flash/Flex to .net and Silverlight (maybe not a full jump, but I want to be ready when Silverlight takes the lead from Flash)I'm looking for the common/trusted mvc framework most people use/support and is potentially backed by microsoft
In PHP we have Zend Framework http://framework.zend.com/ this is backed by key contributors to the PHP languageIn Flex we have the Cairngorm framework http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cairngorm/Cairngorm (developed by Adobe consulting) backed by Adobe the creators of Flex
There of course are other frameworks for both PHP and Flex, but a much smaller population base even if they offer some nicer things individually, they lack frequent updates or community support.So my question is, what is the "accepted standard" framework that people use with .net and/or silverlight?

From my understanding, the asp.net 1.1 application will login the user then store the information to a session and a cookie? I'm trying to access that cookie with a asp.net 2.0 application. Is this possible?
I'm thinking the mode would need to change to maybe StateServer or Sql.
I am sure that I am somewhat lost in this area... my understanding is that Dependency Injection means initializing something that is required by a class..so for instance. If my controller is going to need a service and I want to be able to test it then I should define two Constructor methods for it... so, my question is.
public class CompaniesController : Controller
{
private ICompaniesService _service;
public CompaniesController()

View 3 RepliesProbably one of those things you know and use every day without thinking what it is:
Do you think Component based frameworks are better than Action/Request based web frameworks?
From the naming I think I'm using both (of course, I must be wrong if things are asked like this).
My web front-end (Pages and Code behind / Views and Controllers) are Request/Action while my other layers are Component based...no?
Or does this apply to specific frameworks or ways doing things?
I am using Microsoft Enterprise library logging in c# to log the events in SQL DB and I use this records for analytics purpose.is there any better way for analytics in c#. for example "Microsoft StreamInsight from SQL Server 2008".
another way is embedding Javascript in HTML code which google analytics is using. But in this way I should send all my logging data to the logging sever in HTTP post.
I want to integrate Google analytics in my asp.net mvc application. So im doing some R&D for it to find out which one is the better. I find out a Google Analytic Dashboard Controls which are available at

What's the best way to get the Google Analytics ID from a database, and display it on a Master.Page? Maybe getting the page details (page title, etc) and displaying the GA code using a .net control? I am not sure what the best way to do it, as the GA ID would change for each of my clients.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to track how many people are signed up and set up goal for Google Analytics. I use CreateUserWizard and I'm trying to set a goal when users reach coplete wizardstep section or when users finish createwizardstep1 (first signup page) CreateUserWizard has 3 steps. first sign up page, second optional page and finish page. I'm sure that I can separate optional info section and redirect different page after step1 but I would like to avoid that if possible.
View 3 RepliesI want to use Google Analytics on my asp.net website. My website have a masterpage that each page will use. So my idea is to put the GA code in the bottom of the masterpage and in that way get it included into all pages. Is that a good idea to get the tracking right? Or might there be any problems of using this way?
Another thing is that I need to track conversion for a goal that I have setup in GA. I need to see the funnel, the pages leading to the goal. The problem is that these pages are actually the steps of a asp.net wizard control. What is the best way to track each step of the wizard control as individual steps in GA to reach the goal?
Is it possible to get google analytics to work in an admin section? so it will be implemented in the website.

View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET website set up, and I'm using Google Analytics for page tracking. The only thing I don't like is that I have to go away from my site (to the Google Analytics site) to see the report. Is there any way to show the Google Analytics data on my own site with all the AJAX that they have?
View 5 RepliesI want to find a place to put my Google Analytics code in my ASP.NET web application. I would like to place it somewhere once and not have to copy and paste the code into multiple files. Is there somewhere that I could inject it that I would only have to include it once and all pages would be effected? I am not using MasterPages unfortunately.
