Is This Modified C# Singleton Pattern A Good Practice

Feb 9, 2010

I'm developing a blog application shared by non-profit organizations. I want each organization to be able to change their own blog settings. I have taken a singleton pattern (from BlogEngine.net) and modified it. (I understand that it is no longer a singleton pattern.) I have tested this approach and it seems to work fine in a development environment. Is this pattern a good practice? Are there issues, which may arise when this is placed in a production environment?

public class UserBlogSettings
{
private UserBlogSettings()
{
Load();
}
public static UserBlogSettings Instance
{
get
{
string cacheKey = "UserBlogSettings-" + HttpContext.Current.Session["userOrgName"].ToString();
object cacheItem = HttpRuntime.Cache[cacheKey] as UserBlogSettings;
if (cacheItem == null)
{
cacheItem = new UserBlogSettings();
HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert(cacheKey, cacheItem, null, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1),
Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
}
return (UserBlogSettings) cacheItem;
}
}
}

(Portions of code were omitted for brevity.)

Which Pattern Most Closely Matches Scenario Detailed And Is It Good Practice

Mar 6, 2011

I have seen a particular pattern a few times over the last few years. In the UI, each new record (e.g., new customers details) is stored on the form without saving to database. This clearly has been done so not clutter the database or cause unnecessary database hits.

While in the UI state, these objects are identified using a Guid. When these are a saved to the database, their associated Guids are not stored. Instead, they are assigned a database Int as their primary key.

The form can cope with a mixure of retrieved items from the database (using Int) as well as those that have not yet been committed (using Guid).

When inspecting the form (using Firebug) to see which key was used, we found a two part delimited combined key had been used. The first part is a guid (an empty guid if drawn from the database) and the second part is the integer (zero is stored if it is not drawn from the database). As one part of the combined key will always uniquely identify a record, it works rather well.

C# - Session Vs Singleton Pattern?

May 12, 2010

I have a web application where I would like to pull user settings from a database and store them for Global access. Would it make more sense to store the data in a Singleton, or a Session object? What's the difference between the two?Is it better to store the data as an object reference or break it up into value type objects (ints and strings)?

C# - When Implementing The Singleton Pattern In A Web Application The Static Variable Scope?

Jan 25, 2010

Good Practice When Retrieving SQL Data?

Jan 19, 2011

I'm currently using the fantastic DorkNozzle 'framework' for building a very basic blog in .NET.My first "self-taught" script is as follows, and is for solely retrieving SQL results.

PHP Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Dorknozzle.master" AutoEventWireup="true" Title="Blog" %>
<%@ Import Namespace = "System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<script runat="server">[code]....

I should change to perhaps improve my coding style, without going down the MVC line just yet?

Good Practice To Avoid Using Session State In MVC?

Mar 7, 2011

It's not explicitly written somewhere but I felt so after reading few blogs on ASP.NET MVC. Just got curious and thought of asking it here.

UPDATE: I'm not asking about memory/storage/RAM concerns on server. For them, there is a solution to store session out of process. I know that. I'm curious that, are there any scenarios where we had to use Session in WebForms but we can avoid it now in MVC taking benefit of the nice structured way offered by MVC?

C# - Is It A Good Practice To Write HTML Using A StringBuilder In Codebehind

Mar 25, 2010

I'm interested to hear from other developers their opinion on an approach that I typically take. I have a web application, asp.net 2.0, c#.

What I usually do to write out drop downs, tables, input controls, etc. is in the code behind use StringBuilder and write out something like sb.Append("

I don't find myself using to many .net controls as I typically write out the html in the code behind. When I want to use jQuery or call JavaScript I just put that function call in my sb.Append tag like sb.Append("td...onblur='fnCallJS()'.

I've gotten pretty comfortable with this approach. For data access I use EntitySpaces.

I'm just kind of curious if this sort of approach is horribly wrong, ok depending on the context, good, time to learn 3.0, etc. I'm interested in learning and was just looking for some input.

Edit

After reading the comments here it sounds like I should take a look at MVC. I've not done that yet. The only hesitancy in doing so is that the existing project is just that, existing. There is a lot of code already done the way I explained and it is hard to imagine what would be involved in changing it, advantages of doing so, and just learning what that would take.

The other thing I'm taking away from the comments is that my code behind should really not include much of the sb.Append code, whereas now it is filled with it in numerous functions. To me it is not messy but that is because I know what each function does and can look at it and see, oh that writes out x, y, and z.

It's not uncommon for me to just have a div on the .aspx part and then build up the .innerHtml of that with the StringBuilder in the code behind.

Does Anyone Know A Good Practice To Use When Developing For The System.directory Services Class

Jan 31, 2011

I'm trying to create a data access later using System.DirectoryServices. I'd like to use the MVC 2 framework and have all my views be mostly strongly-typed. Does anyone know any good way to this?

For example I started creating a Group Entity:

public class Group
{
public string DistinguishedName { get; set; }
public string GroupName { get; set; }
}

And an abstract interface:

public interface IGroupRepository
{
List<Group> Groups { get; }
}

I am confused about developing the GroupRepository using the system.directory services. Connecting to a SQL database is easy there are examples everywhere but I have no been able to find any using the System.directory sevices in conjunction with a class using MVC. Has anyone tried to do something like this?

C# - Good Practice To Perform Direct Database Access In The Code-behind Of Webpage?

Jun 7, 2010

I am an experienced developer but I am new to web application development. Now I am in charge of developing a new web application and I could really use some input from experienced web developers out there.

I'd like to understand exactly what experienced web developers do in the code-behind pages. At first I thought it was best to have a rule that all the database access and business logic should be performed in classes external to the code-behind pages. My thought was that only logic necessary for the web form would be performed in the code-behind. I still think that all the business logic should be performed in other classes but I'm beginning to think it would be alright if the code-behind had access to the database to query it directly rather than having to call other classes to receive a dataset or collection back.

JQuery :: Modified ListBox Not Posting Back Modified Values?

Aug 27, 2010

I have an ASP.Net ListBox that I'm trying to populate via jQuery, using the following snippet:

$("#MyList_btnAddAll").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#MyList_lstAll option').appendTo('#MyList_lstSelected');
});

The code has two ListBoxes in fact, one a "source" and the other a "destination". As you can tell above the ListBoxes are MyList_lstAll and MyList_lstSelected. These are rendered in the browser as <select> elements, as you'd expect.

The jQuery is working great, the items are moving from one ListBox to the other, the DOM is updated but when I submit this form (not using jQuery), the ListBoxes don't reflect this change on postback.

I realize my modifications via jQuery aren't available in ViewState but I thought since the DOM was updated these changes would be part of the postback data? But in the codebehind after postback the ListBox contents haven't changed. Does anyone know what might be going on and what I can do about it?

Pattern For Retrieving Complex Object Graphs With Repository Pattern With Entity Framework

Oct 13, 2010

We have an ASP.NET MVC site that uses Entity Framework abstractions with Repository and UnitOfWork patterns. What I'm wondering is how others have implemented navigation of complex object graphs with these patterns. Let me give an example from one of our controllers:

[code]....

It's a registration process and pretty much everything hangs off the POCO class Person. In this case we're caching the person through the registration process. I've now started implementing the latter part of the registration process which requires access to data deeper in the object graph. Specifically DPA data which hangs off Legal inside Country.

The code above is just mapping out the model information into a simpler format for the ViewModel. My question is do you consider this fairly deep navigation of the graph good practice or would you abstract out the retrieval of the objects further down the graph into repositories?

MVC :: AsyncController Gripes / Working Pattern For Converting A GET-POST-GET Pattern To Asny?

Feb 23, 2010

Does anyone have a working pattern for converting a GET-POST-GET pattern to asny?

I'm encountering the following issues:

1. You cannot mix Sync and Async action methods SubmitForm(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), SubmitFormCompleted() ... (because the resolver gets all confused ... it doesn't use the HTTP verb to decide who to target. BTW: I think that's poor design, or a bug)

2. Renaming the get method name to something else eg: SubmitFormConfirmation(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), SubmitFormCompleted() would be very awkward if it works ... because you have to doctor the <form markup to specify an action name.

3. You cannot give them all async names SubmitFormAsync(), SubmitFormAsync(bool? confirm), submitFormCompleted(), because the call just keeps malfunctioning. It sometime even behaves as if you are requesting a delete of something.

Can someone give an insight from an actually working sample.
