How To Reuse Logic In A Context Sensitive Way In MVC
Feb 9, 2011
Trying to figure out the best way to organize a ASP.NET MVC site. Take a very simple 1..N relationship: Company can have many Contacts, Contacts must have exactly one Company.I have your typical routes:
Company/Index (list all companies)
Company/Details/{int} (details of Company {int})
Company/Create (create new company)
Contact/Index (list all contacts)
Contact/Create (create new contact, company is selected from drop down)
Now if I wanted to create a page that created a Contact in the context of a Company (from the Company detail page) so that the required company is filled in/not editable), what would be the best route of going about that, while not duplicating code where possible.Not sure if I can leverage the Contact/Create logic/view from the Company controller (and be able to route back to the Company Details page when complete), or mess with the routes to do something like Company/Details/{int}/Contact/Create (not even sure if that makes sense or would work)?There has got to be a better way then me adding my logic and view for adding a Contact into my Controller view and having it duplicated.

Let's say a control X has a template called RowTemplate.
So X's markup would be like:
<foo:X>
<RowTemplate>
<foo:Y>...</foo:Y>
</RowTemplate>
</foo:X>
My question is: How can the Y control be sensitive to the data context? I know I can use template inline tags to get access to the data context: <%# Eval("Id") %>, but I cannot pass this information to Y because template inline tags are not allowed in server controls.
So I don't know how I could use the Object's Id (Eval("Id")) in Y.

I know that the code depicted below will not work but I am including it to convey the idea of what I wish to accomplish. I want to use a different SiteMap to construct the menu on the displayed page for each of three different classes of service (COS).
I set a session variable named "COS" at the login and want to test its value prior to rendering each page. I want to display a menu based upon the appropriate COS. Here is my first stab at it but I know that I cannot include <asp:...> controls within the "case" statements. Can anyone suggest methods of doing this? I know C# and can use that but I do not know how to select the proper sitemap within the <menu> control. I am also using a CSS in my production version.

I was wondering if setting a default value for a SelectList is considered to be presentation logic or business logic? For example, if a requirement is that an Employee cannot be saved without a Location, but 99% of the time the location that would be selected is a particular item -- say Atlanta. Because of this, the location SelectList should be defaulted to Atlanta when ever a entry screen for a new employee is displayed. Should I be defaulting the location in the model or in the view-model? One thing I realized is that the unit tests become awkward because in both cases, I'd be forced to test against a location that will always be present in production but I cannot create a unit test with my own test dataunless "Atlanta" was in the set of locations being used in the test.

This is my first time working on a secure website. It's for a pet project I have.
For security purposes, where is it best to store information like SQL connection strings, database encryption keys, etc? Is it better to use web.config, store them in a class that accesses a database (like dataBaseHelper.cs or something), or somewhere else?
I intend to obtain an SSL cert as well. When communicating with the database, should I always use the secure connection?

I have simple asp.net web service, for monitoring and managing about 10 computers, with 4 webMethods and all of this methods are quite simple. In general they look sometning like: (1)make WMI connections to certain machine, (2)do some simple task, (3)return result.
Problem is that WMI connections to remote computers takes about 15s and I offten need to call 2 or 3 methods successively for the same machine.
From what I know, there is new instance of my service class (public class MonSvr :
System.Web.Services.WebService ) created every time webMethod is called.
So how can I share WMI or DB connection betwen all instances of my service that I could reuse this connection ? When there all multiple calls to webMethods of my service, does then each instance of web service runs in separate thread ?

I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I would like to know if the Session variables are Case-sensitive.
Is Session["StudentId"] and Session["StudentID"] considered the same.
Which would be the proper way to access the session details, when in a page someone passes data as Session["StudentId"] and somebody else passes as Session["StudentID"]?

Say I have a Form model which contains a list of Field objects loaded from a database. Each field object has a type that defines whether it is a listbox, combobox, input or textarea.
What would be the best way for displaying the Field objects correctly? I was thinking in my View using a switch statement and calling a specific partial depending on the case.
[Code]....
Is this a valid approach? What other methods would people recommend to do this?

Is there a way to accomplish this? Let me give you a scenario:
The user clicks on a button "Click Me", then it opens a new window that is aspx page. The user didn't close that page, and went back and click on the same button "Click Me" again. At this point, instead of open a brand new window, I want to be able to reuse the same opened aspx page earlier and concatenate some information...

I have a WCF webservice that acts as a data provider for my ASP.NET web page. Throughout the web page a number of calls are made to the web service via the auto-generated ServiceClient. Currently I create a new ServiceClient and open it for each request i.e. Get Users, Get Roles, Get Customer list etc.... Each one of these would create a new ServiceClient and open a new connection.
Can I make my ServiceClient class a global or statically available class so that all functions within my ASP.NET web page can use the same client. This would seem to be far more efficient. Are there any issues with doing it this way? Any advice I should take into account when doing this? What happens if I make multiple requests to a client? Presumably it is all synchronous so it shouldn't matter if I make 1 or 50 calls to it?

Using a SQL Server back end, I have a Company Name field that I want to reuse in different views of my application. I do not want to use it only in the Master layout but within the "view space". Is there another way to access this data without using a ".include" for that table in all of my methods? Is there a way to add dynamic data in the Shared folder that can be called up anytime? If it is in the Master page can I pull the variable into the specific "view space"?

I'm teaching myself ASP.net. I'm creating an application that needs to store sensitive data. So, I found the following Blog to encrypt and decrypt data.
[URL]
I'm sure it's my app, but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious. For some reason, my app and Encryptor only works when I pass < then 7 characters. If a pass 8, it doesn't commit to the database. If I remove Encryptor, the app will store

Im saving sensitive data from my asp.net web app back to a database on another server. I have set up encryption on the database. Do I need to set up more encryption in the code behind of the web app and encrypt the data there then pass the data to the database or should I pass it as it is and then encrypt it in my stored procedure.

I have a need to show sensative information but I would only like it available on screen for 2 minutes, and then after it dissapears.
Since this is part of my web application, I would like the user to stay logged into the web site before and after viewing the information, but in order to view it, I would like them to re-enter their username/password.
Are there any directions I can be pointed into accomplish this task?

I did some google searching on this, but I could not find anything useful.
Basically what I am trying to do is pass some sensetive information to an ActionResult through the click of a HTML ActionLink.
The information I need passing through is, the ProductID and the User IP Address.
So just to clarify:
1) User clicks { I like Product } link (HTML ActionLink)
2) That sends the Product ID and the IP Address of the user to the ActionResult in the Controller.

we are making a project to run in ASP.Net on Mono/*nix Our problem is that we develop on Windows, and we just build and test it every so often on Mono. So we have been having a lot of trouble recently with case sensitive filenames. Everything seems to work good in Windows and then we move to Mono and it's silently broken.(as in, it builds but won't run or parts of it don't work)
How would you recommend that I detect this while we are developing on Windows? Basically, how do we make the case-sensitive filenames look wrong in our code where the code works on Windows but not *nix?

To start with then we have a LinkButton whose text is actually an image tag. The image it links to is a Png and resides in a folder in the web directory. This is IIS V6 and win Server 2003.
The path is [URL]
Admin is a virtual directory configured in IIS.
The above url doesn't work but if you change it to [URL] (lowers case 'a') then the image is served, change it back to 'A' and it takes you to login, you log in and it loops back to log in. change to 'a' and voila the image is served. Weirdly this problem doesn't always occur and I have hunted for a resolution for days to no avail.
As requested this is the complete link button
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkCommitAll" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"><asp:Image ID="imgCommitAll" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/Grid/confirm_16.png" AlternateText="Commit All Changes" /> Commit All</asp:LinkButton>

I'm trying to debug a specific issue with my ASP.NET application. The client runs the following code:
void uploadFile( string serverUrl, string filePath )
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.
Create( serverUrl );
CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.Add( new Uri( serverUrl ), "Basic", new NetworkCredential( "User", "pass" ) );
request.Credentials = cache;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
request.Timeout = 60000;
request.KeepAlive = true;
using( BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(
File.OpenRead( filePath ) ) ) {
request.ContentLength = reader.BaseStream.Length;
using( Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream() ) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while( true ) {
int bytesRead = reader.Read( buffer, 0, buffer.Length );
if( bytesRead == 0 ) {
break;
}
stream.Write( buffer, 0, bytesRead );
}
}
}
HttpWebResponse result = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
//handle result - not relevant
}
and Write() throws an exception with "Unable to write data to the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine." text. I used System.Net tracing and found that something goes wrong when I send the request with Content-Length set.
Specifically if I omit everything that is inside using statement in the code above the server promptly replies with WWW-Authenticate and then the client reposts the request with WWW-Authenticate and everything goes fine except the file in not uploaded and the request fails much later.
I'd like to do the following: send an request without data, wait for WWW-Authenticate, then repeat it with WWW-Authenticate and data. So I tried to modify the code above: first set all the parameters, then call GetResponse(), then do sending, but when I try to set ContentLength property an exception is thrown with "This property cannot be set after writing has started" text. So HttpWebRequest seems to be non-reusable.
How do I reuse it for resending the request without closing the connection?

I have a table the uses the same dropdown list in each row. I thought that I could just create one dropdown list and then reuse it in each new row, but the table only ends up with one row unless I create "new" dropdownlist. Am I approaching this all wrong? In the interest of efficiency, is there a way to build the list once and then reuse it by creating another instance of it or something? I was trying to avoid rebuilding that list umpteen times.
private void UserRoles()
{
Table table = MakeTable();
Ewo.sqlDataStore.Administrator sql = new Ewo.sqlDataStore.Administrator();
DataSet dataset =sql.SiteUserRoleList();
DropDownList sel = RoleList(dataset.Tables[0]);
if(tools.validDataSet(dataset))
{
if (dataset.Tables.Count > 1)//existing roles are #2, show the roles the user is part of
{
foreach (DataRow dRow in dataset.Tables[1].Rows)
{
table.Rows.Add(CreateRoleRow(Convert.ToString(dRow["SitePageGroupName"]), sel));//add a row with data
}
}
table.Rows.Add(CreateRoleRow(sel));//add a blank row on the bottom
}
AdminSiteUerRoles.Controls.Add(table);//add it all to the page
}

I am creating a website that allows users to login to their gameserver remotely and send / receive commands. The connection happens via an UDP socket and requires simply the IP of the gameserver, and a password.
On my website, users can add servers to their accounts, where the server IP and password are stored in a database. Then they can connect to any of their servers, which creates a new Socket object and connects to it using the IP and password of that server.
This Socket object, embedded in an object that also stores the server IP and password, is stored in a Session variable when the user connects, and is retrieved on every page. For example, there's a page where the user can view a list of the players on the server (and kick/ban them), a page with server settings, a page with messages, etc. All these pages require the Socket connection to get their information (they send a certain command and parse the response). When I need to send a command via the socket, I need to send the password of the server each time (otherwise it does not work). My question now is: how secure is this? The password of a server is sensitive information*, but I am storing it in a session variable and sending it (using the Send command of the Socket object) to the server.
i think the Session variable is stored on memory on the server, so I don't think so, but I'm really unsure about these kind of things and I'd like to be certain that my website is secure. Well, I think it will never be 100% secure but I want it to be at least not worth the effort for someone to hack the password. If it takes a lot of trouble then people wouldn't bother, but I don't want to find out that people's passwords are being thrown out on the street (so to speak) and that my website is completely insecure...

Im passing sensitive details from my asp.net web app to a database on a different server. I've set up encryption on my database. Should I encrypt the data in the code behind file of the web app and then pass it to my database stored procedure or pass it to the stored procedure as it is and encrypt it there?

When doing a query e.g. "select ID from myTable order By SomeStringField" from SQL Developer my data the data are sorted correctly according to database settings:
Abc
abc
Bcd
bcd
But when using the System.Data.OracleClient namespace and a DbProviderFactory to create a DbCommand and use that to create a DbDataReader, the data is sorted case sensitive:
Abc
Bcd
abc
bcd
Is there some setting on the command which needs to be set? Can you even change the case sensitivity in the .net framwork, overriding the database settings?
