C# - Constructs/patterns Do You Use For Accessing State?

Feb 4, 2010

Let's say you're building something simple, like a data entry/CRUD form for working on an entity called Customer. Maybe you pass the CustomerID in via Session state.I tend to write a lot of fairly boilerplate plumbing code around handling that Session variable in a particular way. The goals vary slightly but tend to be things like:

Avoid cluttering the main flow of the page with plumbing code

Handle the back button intelligently

Remove the variable from Session and persist it to ViewState ASAP

Code defensively for failure situations where the state doesn't get passed, or is lost

Do you have a best practice for handling this situation? Do you have classes in your stack that handle this perfectly every time? Do you just call the Session variables directly? Do you use encrypted QueryString and avoid Session variables in this situation entirely in order to make the back button work a little better?Lately I've been using Properties with Session variables. Here's a simple example that I just threw together, although please keep in mind that this example would not be very tolerant of the back button:

Private ReadOnly Property CustomerID() As Integer
Get
If Me.ViewState(Constants.CustomerID) Is Nothing Then[code]....

State Management :: Accessing Session State In A User Control?

Sep 1, 2010

We have a web site that implements a custom SiteMapProvider using a User Control added in the master page. I need to be able to limit the sitemap nodes added depending on the logged in user, that is, certain users should not see certain sitemap nodes. Currently, the login processing code determines if users are in the certain category or role and then sets a value in session state, for example, Session["UserInRoleXXX"] = "Yes"; I tried changing the code in the user control to check the session state, but I got the following error: NullReferenceException ... Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Can session state be accessed in a user control?

State Management :: Accessing Session With Rewritten URL

May 21, 2010

I've searched these forums, found some pretty similar problems, but haven't found solution to the following:

I'm using simple engine (IHttpModule hooks to BeginRequest) to rewrite some URL on the site and everything works perfectly as long as original URL ends with .aspx, example:

http://site/articles/Article-name.aspx rewrites to real location
http://site/DisplayArticle.aspx?name=Article%20name

Tries to use any other URL which DOES NOT end with .aspx results in that Page.Session throws an exception and Page.User is always null (Forms Authentication) Integrated Visual Studio development server works fine in any way, this is only happens when I'm trying local IIS or hoster machine.

State Management :: Accessing Session Arraylist

Jul 13, 2010

I am using a Session Arraylist to hold information about an online user. However, I am having troubel accessing the data. The error seems to be in the last bit because I can access one value of sample data just not print out a number of values. I have an class penalyPoint that has the following constructor:

public PenaltyPoint(string penaltyCode1, string penaltyDate1, string PenaltyPointsAwarded1, string penaltyBan1)

Then in a button response I have the following response which holds the data in a session arraylist variable as the user can enter a number of these objects. I will put a capacity limit on the arraylist later on.

//Assign the data in the form to a PenaltyPoint Object
PenaltyPoint penPoint = new PenaltyPoint(ddlPen1Code.SelectedValue, txtPenDate.Text, txtPen1Points.Text, txtPen1Ban.Text);
//The current driver number has to be set before this page is called
//Temp
int currentDriver = 0;
//int currentDriver = (int)(Session["currentDriverNum"]);
//create an arraylist to be used for transferring arraylist to session
ArrayList penPointsDrive0Array = new ArrayList();
if (currentDriver == 0)
{
//if the session is equal to null then nothing has to be returned from session
if (Session["penPointsArrayListDrive0"] == null)
{
penPointsDrive0Array.Add(penPoint);
Session["penPointsArrayListDrive0"] = penPointsDrive0Array;
Response.Redirect("PenaltyPoints.aspx");
}
else
{
penPointsDrive0Array = (ArrayList)Session["penPointsArrayListDrive0"];
penPointsDrive0Array.Add(penPoint);
Session["penPointsArrayListDrive0"] = penPointsDrive0Array;
Response.Redirect("PenaltyPoints.aspx");
}
}

Then I try to access the data in the arraylist but I getting nothing printing out. I am just trying to test the data at the minute. I am not that use to arraylist so this might be the problem.

public partial class TestPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList answer = new ArrayList();
ArrayList driver1 = (ArrayList)Session["penPointsArrayListDrive0"];
PenaltyPoint ps = new PenaltyPoint();
string output;
for (int i = 0; i < driver1.Count; i++)
{
ps = (PenaltyPoint)driver1[i];
string answertemp = ps.getPenaltyCode();
output = answertemp;
}
}
}

I can't get the final part to collect all the values into a string it keeps on coming up with errors.

State Management :: Accessing Variables Across Pages Within The Same Session?

Jul 12, 2010

How can I retain the value of variables that I fill from CodeBehind throughout the session? (C#). For example, I do a LINQ query from the log in "on-Click" button event. The query produces a bunch of data about the user that I want to access throughout the session on additional ASP pages. I know that I can pass a large query string but I suspect that there is a better way. Here's a specific...

from the db function I product: COS=2 (class of service). Throughout the session, I test for COS and display appropriate pages. Assume that the LINQ query is accomplished in the CodeBehind attached to the "loginButton" within the "login.aspx" page.

State Management :: Setting Session Values In Generic Handler And Accessing Them From A Page?

Jun 10, 2010

I have a generic handler in which I fill up a Session variable. I implemented the IRequiresSessionState interface, so it shouldn't be a problem.

In a given page, I want to display that value, but it seems like the value is always empty. Is it because the session that is accessed and written to in the handler isn't the same one that is used on this page?

In the handler, I used context.Session["EID"] = "somevalue";

edit: i found out what the issue is but I do not know how to solve it. It's because I have this Java applet which reads out an eID, calls the handler to store the data, but the session used by the applet is not the same as the session used by the browser... so how could I exchange this data in a safe way?

Patterns To Use When Building Complex Web UI?

Jun 24, 2010

I need to implement a wizardy, dynamic UI that uses complex validation of the style:

If A = 1, show controls B, C, D. B is required, C is not, and D is not required must be less than 30 if it is populated.

If A = 2, show controls B, D, E. B is not required, D is required but has no limits, and E is not required.

If B is not null, show controls B, D, E. B is not required, D is required but has no limits, and E is not required.

Historically, I have made my presentation layer as "dumb" as possible in that it is only responsible for capturing user input and binding it to the appropriate domain model. The domain model, in turn, contains the logic needed to validate it's state and that of any child objects, and then communicates any invalid state to the presentation layer via notifications. As such, this requirement for a highly "intelligent" UI represents a departure for me.

I think I have no choice but to construct 2 very similar class hierarchies:

one that will capture presentation business rules (i.e. what fields are visible) and control what renders in the View

one that will capture domain business rules (when field A = X, then field B should be not null and in the range of n to m) to disallow objects with an invalid state from being persisted


Sill I have far more questions than answers on my strategy moving forward. Is there a set of design patterns I can draw on to build such a dynamic UI? I do have the option of using ASP.NET MVC or WebForms, so whichever approach will produce cleaner, testable code is preferred.

Architecture :: .NET Web-Application Architectures / Patterns?

Jul 9, 2010

Does anybody knows good, short and slim tutorials (not here ), which describe actual/modern web-application architectures / patterns (especially for ASP.NET based (classic and MVC) applications (maybe also with embedded Silverlight components) ? How would you you design today an ASP.NET application which uses different datasources (databases, services,...) ?

C# - Regex Pattern / Looking For The X_X Numeric Patterns?

Dec 23, 2010

I will have the following possible strings:

12_3

or

12_3+14_1+16_3-400_2

The numbers could be different, but what I'm looking for are the X_X numeric patterns. However, I need to do a replace that will search for 2_3 and NOT return the 12_3 as a valid match.

The +/-'s are arthemtic symbols, and can be any valid value. They also ARENT required (in the example of the first) .. so, I might want to check a string that just has 12_3, and if I pass in 2_3, it would NOT return a match. Only if I passed in 12_3.

This is for a C# script.

Auto-redirect URLs By Patterns In IIS 6?

Mar 9, 2011

I thought it should be a simple straight-forward matter but after struggling with it for too much time.

What I need is to redirect all requests for my web application that match the following pattern - "^(http://[^/]+/blogs/[^/.]+)/?$" to the path of "$1/Default.aspx".

(Using English rather than Regex: [URL]

The sub-directories in "blogs" do not physically exist, instead a 3rd party product deals with the requests to randomdir/Default.aspx", but when you go to "randomdir/" you get 404 not found, which is what I'm trying to fix.

I tried to use global.asax and also HttpHandler, but I couldn't get either of them to fire up on the requests to those 404 paths.

So, in short, what should I do to redirect paths of non-existing directories?

Which Of The Two Design Patterns Should I Implement In A 3-tier .Net Application

Sep 22, 2010

I'm trying to decide which of the two factory patterns I should use in my Asp.Net applications:

1 : All DAL providers derive from same abstract base class DepartmentsProvider, which defines public interface of the class ( all the necessary CRUD methods for which derived classes (providers ) provide a concrete implementation ). BLL layer instantiates correct provider by calling DepartmentsProvider.Instance:

public abstract class DepartmentsProvider
{
static private DepartmentsProvider _instance = null;
/// <summary>[code]....

In first case we implement new provider by deriving from DepartmentsProvider class, while in second case new provider is implemented by deriving from DBProviderFactory. What are pros and cons of each implementation?

Architecture :: EF4 With Repository And Unit Of Work Patterns?

Sep 26, 2010

I've been reading recently about EF4, and how to build an architecture for asp.net web forms application using it.

I explored using POCOs (self tracking entities), with WCF, but found out that my application will be deployed on a single box (i.e. one tier), so I started reading about logical separation of layers, and came up with the following solution:

DAL layer that contains EDMX model and EF APIs, and also generated context object.Entities DLL that holds all generated POCO entities using ADO.NET POCO entity generator. (for persistence ignorance, and decoupling entities from DAL).Business layer that contains a façade for each related group of business functions, the façade will be aware of and using DAL layer. And in each function, it will initiate context and uses different entities to carry out specific job (i.e. function).UI layer that only calls the business layer façade classes. With no awareness of DAL, but it will be aware of entities (i.e. using entities DLL), as the business layer will return results basically as entity collections.

I want to know what you think about this architecture.

I also read about an architecture that uses repository and unit of work patterns, but what I understand that context object is already implementing a UOF pattern, and also object sets are implementing repository pattern (correct me if I'm wrong), so the only advantage of using additional abstraction over them is to make the business layer communicates to my classes, not EF classes, and this is good only if the DAL strategy might change (i.e. by using another tool other than EF, which is not my plan).

Architecture :: Interaction Between UnitOfWork And Repository Patterns?

May 31, 2010

I read some article about unitOfwork and repository but i'm still confused about how they interact, and how to use them in the right way.

I'm using an addressbook project to practise on patterns (even if , likely, patterns are not usefull) without any ORM framework for persistence.

My domain objects are (at now) : AddressBook (acts as an application controller), Contact (contains information about each contact in the address book), ContactGroup (mantain collections of contact).

Should i have to use distinct repository object for contact ad contactgroup?

I thought to use a UnitOfWork for the operation about the adding/removing contact to group : the user can add existing contact to a group, create a new contact while adding it to the group or remove contact from group.

Architecture :: Factory Patterns Implemented In .Net Framework?

But why don't I simply use new opertor to create concrete objects? Some articles suggest Factory methods could return objects of different concreate classes, I can do the same thing by using switch statement.

Also are there classes in .Net framework already implementing Factory pattern? I think that will give me a better ideas why it is useful.

MVC 3 Application Using Ninject, Entity Framework 4 Code-First CTP 5, Patterns

Jan 24, 2011

ive tried to build some base project with above technologies. I wanted maximum flexibility and testability so i tried to use patterns along the way to make this as a base for future projects. However, it seem.something is wrong or whatever and i really need help here. So

i have two questions :1- Is there anything wrong with my current code ? Ive applied patterns correctly ?

2- Why do this code actually connect to the database, create it, but doesnt support insert even if i perform the corrects operation ? (Look at the end of the post for details about this error)

I have two entities : Comment and Review

COMMENT [Code]....

REVIEW[Code].... I built up a base repository for each of them this way :GENERIC REPOSITORY[Code]...For specific operations, i use an interface :[Code]....So i am getting the generics operations from the abstract class plus the specific operations :[Code]....As you figured out, i also use a database factory will produce the database context :DATABASE FACTORY [Code]....DISPOSABLE (Some extensions methods...)[Code]....DATABASE [Code]....And to finish, i have my unit of work....UNIT OF WORK[Code]....I also binded using Ninject the interfaces :NINJECT CONTROLLER FACTORY [Code]....however, when i call in the constructor ...[Code]....

This seem to create the database but doesnt't insert anything in the database in EF4. It seem that i may figured out the problem.. while looking at the database object.. the connection state is closed and server version throw an exception of this kind :

ServerVersion = '(((System.Data.Entity.DbContext (_database)).Database.Connection).ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'

I am doing the right things ? Is there anything wrong in what ive built ? Also if you have recommandation about the code i posted, i would be glad. I am just trying to the learn the right way for building any kind of application in MVC 3. I want a good a start.

I use :
- Entity Framework 4 Code-First CTP 5
- ASP.NET MVC 3
- Ninject as DI Container

Patterns For A Data File Based WCF REST Web Service?

Mar 15, 2011

We have an existing, proprietary data processing application that runs on one of our servers and we wish to expose it as a web service for our clients to submit jobs remotely. In essence, the system takes a set of configuration parameters and one or more data files (the number of files depends on the particular configuration template, but the normal config is 2 files). The application then takes the input files, processes them, and outputs a single result data file (all files are delimited text / CSV or tab).

We want to now expose this process as a service. Based on our current setup and existing platforms, we are fairly confident that we want to go with WCF 4.0 as the framework and likely REST for the service format, though a SOAP implementation may be required at some point.

Although I am doing a lot of reading on SOA, WCF and REST, I am interested in other thoughts on how to model this service. In particular, the one-to-many relationship of job to required files for input. It seems pretty trivial to model a "job" in REST with the standard CRUD commands. However, the predefined "job type" parameter defines the number of files that must be included. A job type of "A" might call for two input files, while "B" requires 3 before the job can run.

Given that, what is best way to model the job? Do I include the multiple files in the initial creation of the job? Do I create a job and then have an "addFile" method where by I can then upload the necessary number of files?

The jobs will then have to run asynchronously because they can take time. Once complete, is it best to then just have a status field in the job object and require the client to regularly query the system for job status, or perhaps have the client provide a URL to "ping" when the job is complete?
