So i am using visual studio 2008, asp.net 3.5, with the basic toolkit provided. Now i have made the gui which a lot of functionality but the design is very basic. nd looks too old. I need to give it a new look, a new feeling new designs. like the gridview, the buttons the textboxes, the menus look basic. this is not working for me. let me how should i go about doing this?
1) i have herd about tool kits but dont kno which ones are good..(dont want the really expensive ones) but if it is really good my company is ready to spend.
2) will the new VS 2010 or asp.net 4.0 make a difference.
3) The ajax toolkit or silverlight toolkit is any good?
4) i also need to show Charts and graphs now, currently using MS charts.. but now i need which is good.
I had created a web site with asp.net and sqlserver. How can i improve the my website's performance in with regard sqlserver connection?What's your mind about use pool connection? In this regard what the defualt values is set for 'Max Pool Size' and 'Min Pool Size'?What's your mind about use Asynchronous access to data? What's your mind about other ways that you think?
There are various website speed test online tools available. Few of them are listed on: [URL] I tested my website using iweb and selfseo. My website is showing 0.03KB Average speed per KB everywhere. Even google also is giving same kind of results.I tested the site using Page Speed and YSlow. I have already followed most of the recommendations suggested by these tools like efficient use CSS, contents across the domains, caching, compression and all. But still I am getting the same average speed per kb. Page speed is showing around 85/100 as my page speed score, so I guess I have optimized my site a lot. My questions here are:
1. What are the other factors affecting the avg speed per kb of a website?
2. How to improve the Avg speed per kb?
3. Is there anything related with the Server Software and Hardware that I have to check?
Note: I tested by uploading a plain html page with simple text "Hello World", but the avg speed per kb is the same for this page as well. Same is the case with the rest of the pages.

I guess the title gives most of my question away, I have a university project in which I must design and create a website in php or asp.net I have chosen the asp.net path since I am pretty familiar in php and I prefer C# to php.. Could someone please reference some good online places to visit to do some further learning, and recommend some books
i want to manage all the design of my website(asp.net) through my css. my client requirement is he should be able to change all design of website within 4-5 hrs.
I wanna to ask the following question about the design of any web application.
when maximizing ,, minimizing , zooming the browser ,, i note many problems happen to my web application design for example the horizontal menu like the one exists in SO site when minimizing the window the items of the menu in my website go down the other .. and other things make the site sucks and distracts the design .. how to make the design more flexible with the changes in monitor size , the preferences of the browser , maximizing ,and minimizing the browser ,, how to make the site design more flexiable about all those issues .
Using template below in asp.net for demo : [URL] .... but don't know how to start ... small example like to show with repeater, grid or datalist .. but that grid, repeater, or list must be responsive...
or How to bind that using query or sql data source..
I wish to learn to develop web sites with asp.net 3.5 Does anyone know of any good books or website tutorials that could teach me how to develop creative web sites? When I mean creative, i mean master page examples and use of tables etc etc.
I have an web based application. The content for the Home page has been currently mentioned in the HTML code for the Home page using , and tags. To change the content anytime in future, it needs to be changed in the HTML code.
Is there a way that we can pick up the content from some external place and get it reflected through the website. This ways, any change if required can be made at the external location without referring to the application's code.
I'm currently messing around in Access to develop a website, or I should say - develop the initial workings of a database system in an environment that I am familiar with. As the .Net environment is the one I am most familiar with for developing, deploying the Access database into the more full-fledged SQL Server environment is a natural step. Now comes the part with ASP.Net that I'm not so familiar with - reconciliating differences between how I am coding and designing my database with the default website project that ASP.Net provides for a basic multi-user website, from which I've noticed is a lot more thorough than any solution I could code up within a reasonable time-frame.
However, this comes at a cost. I have no inkling on how user data is stored within this environment or how to extend it within my own needs. I can make sample data up the wazoo on my laptop, but if I have no idea how to incorporate with a pre-existing framework, it is worthless to me. The reason why I have not considered this until now is the data I have been working on doesn't pertain to the users in a direct fashion. Anyone have experience designing websites that use ASP.Net and maintain user access? What problems, issues, and design considerations might I need to concern myself when developing a multi-user website with ASP.Net in addition to my data?
I am trying to design a website in asp.net (just learning) and am having trouble positioning div's on the .aspx page.
I normally design in dreamweaver where you can move the div around freely and it sets the x and y coordinates for you but I am having trouble positioning an image.
Do you have to type the x and y coordinates in yourself in the code behind or in the css or is there an easier way where you can freely move the image around and it sets the coordinates.
I am going to develop an application which have approx 1,000,000 uers. They will be from different countries. Can some one give me a high level diagram or design guidlines so my application is scaleble enough to full fill the needs of such huge no of users.My database will be oracle and i will be using framework 3.5.
Im tring to design online shoping website,,as a project in the college .. in this website i want to do the payment using credit card..and that also will be with the help of mysql server so I want to know the about the way or the idea about it my qusion is..
I installed Visual Studio 2008 in my machine. Both c# and vb.net are working properly, but my problem is asp.net is not working. If we are taking a new website project there is no design mode in default.aspx means at the bottom there is no design, source, split. If we go to View->Design then one error message is popup that there is no editor available for this Default.aspx. Again in Tools->Options->Html Designer will shows that an error occurred loading this property page. My OS is Windows Xp Professional 2002, IIS is also checked on .I don't know what to do.....
can't connect to sql 2005 express sp1 and vs is also sp1. 2) Which my guess is because of the database connection not being able... design view is not able to pull in the application for design, it's as if there is no theme and css just white background and black print.
I installed Rad Controls. Using that controls, I designed my application pages. At design time, the design is not visible. It shows the following error:
RadTabStrip1Failed to create designer 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadTabStrip, Telerik.Web.UI, Version=2010.1.415.35, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4'
I'm about to design my Web service API, most of the functions of my API is basically very simular to my web application. Now the question is, should I create 1 single method and reuse them for both the web application and the web service api? (This seems to be the logical solution, however its very complicated; it's much easier to duplicate the method used by the web application, and keep both separate, ie one method for the web application and one method for the web service.)
1) REUSE: one main method and reuse them for both web application and web service application (I like this but it's complicated)
WebAppMethodX --uses--> COMMONFUNCTIONMETHOD_X APIMethodX ---uses----> COMMONFUNCTIONMETHOD_X ie Commonfunctionmethod_x contains reusable set of common features PRO: less code, less maintenance, less bugs. CON: very complicated
2) DUPLICATE: two methods, one method for the web application and one method for the web service.
WebAppMethodX APIMethodX PRO: simple CON: duplication = more code, more maintenance, more bugs!
I have developed a gridview which has displays 8,000 records. However, the user is compaining that it is too slow. A major function of this gridview is to filter on two of the columns. It seems to me that if the records were stored in memory it would be much faster. This is caching, I think. Is that the case? Since filtering is being done I don't think custom paging will help much. When they submit a filter, with custom paging wouldn't the entire table be read again? So I was thinking of trying caching which is available on SQL Server. Am I on the right track? Can you cache with an Access database? Can you think of any other ways to improve performance of a gridview?
My scenario is : WebApp -> WCF Service -> EDMX -> Oracle DB
When I want to bind grid I fetch records from Oracle DB using EDMX i.e LINQ Query. But, this degrades performance as multiple layers take place between WebApp & Oracle DB. Can I use caching mechanism to improve the performance? But as far as I know cache is shared across the whole application. So, if I update cache other user might receive wrong information. Can we use caching per user? Or is there any other way to improve performance of the application?
I am using Asp.net MVC 2 for my application.In view pages consist of aroung 4 jqgrids,data loading in grid asynchronous using jquery post method when user performace action on the view.In jqgrid i used datatype as local while view is displayed,when ever user perform an action it load json data to grid.In view i have 3 partial page which also loaded based on the user action.It takes more time to display the view.How to improve the performace while opening the view
ASP.NET 3.5 Classes throughout our solution referenced ConfigurationManater.AppSettings[""] to get appSettings (from web.config).
We decided we weren't happy with that. Folks were mistyping appSetting key names in code (which compiled fine), and it was cumbersome to track usages. And then there's the duplicated strings throughout the codebase as you reference the same appSettings all over the place.
So, we decided that only one class would be allowed to reference the ConfigurationManager, and the rest of the solution would reference that class when it needed the value of a certain appSetting. ConfigurationManater.AppSettings[""] was static, so we exposed a bunch of static read-only properties off of our single Settings class.
[Code].....
And now we're injecting the ISettings instance as a dependency of the objects which use settings values (the class/interface are in a project that everyone can reference without problems).
In places where we can't inject an existing instance (e.g. Global.asax), we construct a new instance into a static field.
Given all of that, what would you recommend we change, and why?
