Top ASP.Net Controls for Software Developers
Microsoft has designed ASP.Net as a server-side web application development that helps programmers in rapidly create websites, web applications and web services. Since its initial release in 2002, ASP.Net is used widely by developers to create a wide range of dynamic internet applications. As the framework is built on Common Language Runtime (CLR), the programmers have option to write code in a variety of languages supported by .Net including C# and VB.Net.
At the same time, they also have option to use several ASP.Net controls to accomplish complex tasks without writing longer lines of code. Along with using the HTML server controls, web server controls, and validation server controls, ASP.Net programmers also have option to create user controls and custom control. They can further use the properties and attributes of these ASP.Net controls to curtail the overall development time and efforts.
Widely Used ASP.Net Controls for Web Programmers
HTML Server Controls
As the name indicates, these controls are HTML tags identifies and understood by the web server. The ASP.Net files treat HTML elements as text by default. But the developers can make the HTML elements programmable by adding the runat=”server” attribute. Also, they have to add the id attribute to make the web server identify the HTML server controls at run time. However, it is also important to place all HTML server controls a < form > tag with the runat=”server” attribute. The attribute will ensure that the form needs to be processed at the server, while allowing the server script to access the enclosed HTML server controls.
Web Server Controls
The web server controls can be defined as special ASP.Net tags identifies and understood by the server. The web server controls are created on the web server. Like HTML server controls, web server controls also need the runat=”server” attribute. But the server controls can be used to represent more complex elements without being mapped to any existing HTML elements. The programmers can follow a simple syntax to create different ASP.Net web server controls.
Validation Server Controls
The web programmers also have option to use a variety of ASP.Net validation server controls for validating user input. But each validation controls is designed to validate the user input against a specific value or range of values. An error message will be displayed to the end user, if his information does not pass the validation. The page validation will occur by default whenever the user clicks on a Button, LinkButton or ImageButton. The programmers, however, have option to disable the validation by setting the CauseValidation property of the button control as false.
Data Bound Controls
Most websites and web applications have present a wide range of data to the users. The applications are further required to present and retrieve data from the backend source based on user’s criterions. The ASP.Net data bound controls are designed to facilitate retrieval and presentation of data from the backend source for dynamic web applications. ASP.Net 2.0 has further effectuated the data presentation by adding the declarative syntax and BaseDataBoundControl class to the data-bound controls. The web programmers have option to derive several data-bound classes from the DataBoundControl, including List controls, GridView, FormView, DetailsView and AdRotator. Likewise, they can derive Menu, TreeView and SiteMapPath classes from the HierarchicalDataBoundControl class. Thus, the programmers have option to make the data presentation more engaging by using the right data bound control.
Web Parts Controls
The ASP.Net web parts controls are designed specifically to enable end users to modify the website’s content, behavior and appearance directly from a web browser. Whenever a use changes the web pages or controls, the settings will be stored for future. Thus, the overall look and feel of the web page can be personalized for the user during his future visits. The web programmers have option to use several web parts controls to allow users to personalize the page layout or page content. Likewise, the authorized users can be allowed to modify, manage or personalize the site-level settings.
Microsoft aims to re-implement, ASP.Net as a cross-platform and modular web development framework that runs on the open-source .NET Compiler Platform. The project titled “ASP.Net vNext” will make it easier for programmers to use these ASP.Net controls to create applications that run smoothly on a wide range of devices.
You can hire developers from top .net application development companies in India who can help you build web applications according to your ideas within allocated budget and time schedules.

ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 – What’s there for Developers?
Microsoft released the final version of ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 in March. It comes with a set of features to complement the most recent trends in web application development. In addition to enhanced security and account management features, the ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 addresses the feedback received from the community of developers on earlier releases. Nowadays, users are not required to access applications through their username and passwords.
They can simply use their social identities to access the web application without going through lengthy registration process. So developers use redirection-based log-ins to authenticate the identity of individual users through Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites. Microsoft designed the ASP.NET framework based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to help developers in rapidly creating and testing robust internet applications.
Important Features of ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 that Web Developers Must Use
Support for Two-Factor Authentication
ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 provides an additional layer of security to your web application by supporting two-factor authentication. While registering for a website, users often choose weak passwords. So there are always chances that their passwords may get compromised. When a user’s password gets compromised, the features will send code through SMS or email. You also have option to write your own code providers by using QR code generators. The code can be further validated through the authenticator app or the authentication feature of the mobile devices.
Option to Lockout Users
ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 further enhances the security of the website by locking out the users. If the user enters his passwords and two-factor authentication code incorrectly, he will be locked out. You have option to configure the features to set the number of invalid attempts and the lockout time span for the user. However, the feature can also be turned off if a particular website does not required additional and enhanced security.
Requires Account Confirmation
The most recent version of ASP.NET Identity system supports account confirmation. Thus, you can allow a user to access the internet application only after confirming his email. Nowadays, most websites require users to submit their email ids as part of the registration process. The users are further required to confirm the email id before completing the registration process. So the email confirmation will make it easier for you to prevent the creation of fake and bogus accounts. At the same time, the website can also use email as an effective mode of communication to interact with users.
Option to Generate Security Stamps
There are always chances that a user can change his password or any other information related to security. Also, a user has option to remove his Google, Facebook or Microsoft Account from the login credentials. Each time a user changes any security-related information, it becomes essential to invalidate the old password by generating cookies. ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 makes it easier for you to generate a new token and invalidate the old token, each time a user changes his password. Additionally, you can compel the user to logout to make the website more secure. The user can be further logged out from all places where he is accessing the internet application from.
Optimized Password Validator
The password validator provided by earlier version of ASP.NET Identity was not comprehensive. The validator was effective in validating only the minimum length. But the updated version of ASP.NET Identity comes with an optimized password validator that enables you to control the complexity of passwords more tightly. The feature along with the two-factor authentication will make the security of your web application more comprehensive. At the same time, you also have option to add password policies according to the security needs of the website.
You have option to use ASP.NET Identity 2.0.0 in ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, Web API and SPA. The framework can be used as project templates in the Visual Studio 2013. So it becomes easier to make your web application more secure without writing additional code.

How has website performance & scalability improved with ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is the short form of Active Server Pages.NET and web technologies as well as web pages are created by virtue of this Microsoft created product. Programmers as well as developers find this tool to be extremely valuable since rich dynamic web sites along with web applications can be built through compiled languages such as C# and VB. Apart from script languages other .NET languages can be used as well. This is a well favoured technology which acts as boon for the websites that need their content frequently updated. The scalability and performance of a website is drastically improved in the following ways.
Compiled code- The amount of code needed for construction of large applications is dramatically reduced through this. In fact, the code comes compiled since the technology is server side scripting based. This leads to the code being processed on windows server itself before being displayed on web browser. This makes the execution of such applications a lot faster than the normal interpreted scripts.
Strict coding needs- The coding standards are quite strict, almost forcing developers to adhere to it. A proficient engineering approach is thus promoted for application development, resulting in a code that has fewer bugs in general than its usual ASP counterparts.
Language support- With ASP, Jscript as well as VBScript are supported. But with this platform, standard programming languages that include C++, Visual Basic and C# are supported.
Third party controls- The last few years have seen a rapid growth in the ASP.NET community. A huge base of excellent quality third party controls is contained by the platform which can help in speeding up of the development time, thus in consequence the cost as well. Additionally, automatic state management is provided by it as well to control web pages. This is often known as server controls. There is also the flexibility of creating customized and new server controls from the controls that already exist.
Programming model that is event-driven- All web page related objects expose events which the code may process. Handling events like Change, Click and Load through code helps in reduction of program complexity and increase of organization.
Page and object caching- Built-in features are provided for caching of web pages that are frequently requested on the server. Both pages as well as objects may be cached which leads to dramatic increase of performance. The advanced caching system allows the specification of the things that need caching and which do not; you can even specify the time when the cached information should be recalled instead of performing new requests. Additionally, there are features which help in localizing of content meant for particular languages along with culture. The features can even detect browser capabilities.
Higher scalability- There are some great in-built scalability features in it that includes maintenance of session state over servers along with load balancing of multi-processors.
User authentication- User authentication based on forms is supported by the software which includes unauthorized logins redirected automatically and cookie management. User accounts as well as roles are allowed here which provides a high granularity to control access to pages and objects.
On-the-fly updates- By virtue of this platform it is possible to update deployed web applications on the fly. There is no need to restart the server.
Supportive- Full support is provided by it for many established and new web standards including XML and CSS.
When we analyse how ASP.NET has affected the performance as well as scalability of websites, we must remember the reason behind the creation of this framework; the main aim of Microsoft was to cater to the changing demands and needs so that dynamic web applications as well as web pages can be built. Thus, the various benefits highlighted here leave behind no doubt that this is indeed a precious development tool which offers plenty of freedom to developers.

Why Should .Net Developers Care About Node.js - Few Reasons
Prior to discussing about the importance of knowledge about Node.js for the .NET developers, it is important to know what Node.js is. Node.js is a typical type of software platform that is strategically built for the server-side usage along with networking applications. These applications are basically written in JavaScript and they can be run within runtime on Mac and Windows OS as well as Linux without any changes whatsoever.
Now it is imperative for the developers to have a substantial knowledge about Node.js and let us discuss – why.
The first and foremost reason is because the platform has tremendous extent of scalability. Indeed, an astounding technology has been used to develop the platform and that is why with the help of this platform, the expertise of a .NET developer reaches an altogether new height.
This platform is in fact a pleasant surprise for a developer. There are quite a number of nodal modules that will help make the transition of .NET to Node less painstaking as well as time consuming. Hence, even if someone is master in .NET development it is imperative to know this platform as this will make life easier for the developer in question.
iinode
This particular module would allow hosting Nodal applications inside the IIS on the Windows. This provides substantial advantages to the Nodal apps as IIS supports lifetime management and a considerable amount of support for the web gardens, integrated security and so on.
httpsys
This is another drop-in replacement for the in-built HTTP stack of Node that uses the kernel-mode http.sys driver in the Windows so as to provide an enhanced as well as high-quality performance along with kernel-level output caching. This naturally helps the .NET developers a lot when it comes to development.
Node-sqlserver
This a model that was designed and developed for querying against the local as well as the cloud based SQL servers from within the Node apps. This counts in terms of effectiveness so far as .NET development is concerned.
Passport-wiondowsauth
This particular module provides an integrated windows authentication to the applications of various Nodes. These are somewhat similar to the traditional integrated auth experience so far as ASP.NET is concerned. It also comes in handy in case of form based authentication as it depends upon the passport.js authentication module.
edge
edge.js is another module that makes way for a solid Node/.Net integration. It will allow the developer to call any arbitrary .NET code from within any Node application. Any .NET code can be shoehorned into any async delegate and that will be very much usable. This provides a tremendous extent of advantage when it comes to integrating it with the existing .NET code library. Newer Node applications can be written and this will come in handy for the valuable core functionalities that are written in .NET, without the need of re-writing them in Javascript afresh.
While this platform is a remarkable technology, the most significant benefit is that it does not have to depend on the thread pools for the purpose of achieving a definite asynchrony. It helps in encouraging various asynchronous scripting codes that are to be used on a server. If and when a particular request waits for a definite operation, it has the capacity of releasing the threat in question for responding to another request at the same time.
In fact, the platform encourages various non-blocking behaviors. Though the platform is itself single threaded, it does not remain preoccupied so as to make callbacks waiting and can actually accommodate an increased amount of traffic than what a conventional web server like Apache or IIS does per thread.
This offers a huge advantage to the development of .NET by speeding up the synchronization process of the operation. Hence, so far as development is concerned, the platform provides a huge shot in the arm by making the development easier, quicker and most importantly, less complicated.

This platform is in fact a pleasant surprise for a developer. There are quite a number of nodal modules that will help make the transition of .NET to Node less painstaking as well as time consuming. Hence, even if someone is master in .NET development it is imperative to know this platform as this will make life easier for the developer in question.
iinode
This particular module would allow hosting Nodal applications inside the IIS on the Windows. This provides substantial advantages to the Nodal apps as IIS supports lifetime management and a considerable amount of support for the web gardens, integrated security and so on.
httpsys
This is another drop-in replacement for the in-built HTTP stack of Node that uses the kernel-mode http.sys driver in the Windows so as to provide an enhanced as well as high-quality performance along with kernel-level output caching. This naturally helps the .NET developers a lot when it comes to development.
Node-sqlserver
This a model that was designed and developed for querying against the local as well as the cloud based SQL servers from within the Node apps. This counts in terms of effectiveness so far as .NET development is concerned.
Passport-wiondowsauth
This particular module provides an integrated windows authentication to the applications of various Nodes. These are somewhat similar to the traditional integrated auth experience so far as ASP.NET is concerned. It also comes in handy in case of form based authentication as it depends upon the passport.js authentication module.
edge
edge.js is another module that makes way for a solid Node/.Net integration. It will allow the developer to call any arbitrary .NET code from within any Node application. Any .NET code can be shoehorned into any async delegate and that will be very much usable. This provides a tremendous extent of advantage when it comes to integrating it with the existing .NET code library. Newer Node applications can be written and this will come in handy for the valuable core functionalities that are written in .NET, without the need of re-writing them in Javascript afresh.
While this platform is a remarkable technology, the most significant benefit is that it does not have to depend on the thread pools for the purpose of achieving a definite asynchrony. It helps in encouraging various asynchronous scripting codes that are to be used on a server. If and when a particular request waits for a definite operation, it has the capacity of releasing the threat in question for responding to another request at the same time.
In fact, the platform encourages various non-blocking behaviors. Though the platform is itself single threaded, it does not remain preoccupied so as to make callbacks waiting and can actually accommodate an increased amount of traffic than what a conventional web server like Apache or IIS does per thread.
This offers a huge advantage to the development of .NET by speeding up the synchronization process of the operation. Hence, so far as development is concerned, the platform provides a huge shot in the arm by making the development easier, quicker and most importantly, less complicated.

Difference betweeen WebForms and MVC – CodeProject
ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET WebForms are the two existing essential development models that highly contribute to the technology enhancement of today's hi-tech era. Both these models have some pros as well as cons which will be discussed here in the light of comparison.
What are WebForms?
ASP.NET WebForms were first brought out by Microsoft from ASP. It solved a number of problems by creating abstraction of higher level over simulated stateful model and stateless web for web developers.
For sometimes now the concept of MVC has been around after Microsoft introduced it. It is actually an architectural pattern and including Java it is also used by a number of developers. ASP.NET MVC is an important model required for web applications and this pattern is a solution to a context related problem. This application offers input logic, UI logic and business logic. It allows you to develop an application loosely coupled between each of such elements.
The main purpose of this pattern includes separation of concerns. It makes UI ignorant or presentation of user interaction and business logic. According to this pattern, system is divided as Model (M), View (V) and Controller (C).
Here are some of the very basic differences between these two major applications responsible for website development.
ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET WebForms, each could be the best choice for any particular solution. Depending on the requisites of an application along with the background of the team professionals involved, both the technology can serve the best purpose for your business prospective. Hence, one application can never replace the other.

What are WebForms?
ASP.NET WebForms were first brought out by Microsoft from ASP. It solved a number of problems by creating abstraction of higher level over simulated stateful model and stateless web for web developers.
- WebForms introduce applications like self postback (post to same page form data) or ViewState (during postbacks maintain control values).
- The most interesting part lies in the fact it is not required to even a single line of code. With the emergence of Web Forms, Microsoft attempted to bring forth the Visual Basic model into web.
For sometimes now the concept of MVC has been around after Microsoft introduced it. It is actually an architectural pattern and including Java it is also used by a number of developers. ASP.NET MVC is an important model required for web applications and this pattern is a solution to a context related problem. This application offers input logic, UI logic and business logic. It allows you to develop an application loosely coupled between each of such elements.
The main purpose of this pattern includes separation of concerns. It makes UI ignorant or presentation of user interaction and business logic. According to this pattern, system is divided as Model (M), View (V) and Controller (C).
- Model, considered as smart is meant to handle the logic or data as well as Business rules and will remain independent of the other MVC parts like Controller or View.
- In short, controller receives as well as dispatches the request while handling the user interaction or input logic. It knows everything about View or Model.
- A view is regarded as dumb and it is the output representation of a model data. It can be a web page or an excel sheet, showing just a simple text or list of records. View only knows about Model.
Here are some of the very basic differences between these two major applications responsible for website development.
- WebForms use the page controller approach for the purpose of rendering a layout. Whereas, MVC offers a model which has no connection with the View, hence it becomes easier to maintain or test the applications.
- For all the pages, Web Forms use the front controller pattern in order to process the web application requests. It is also used to generate routing architecture. Where as, MVC has the View which is called before the controller that is used to provide the View, based on the action as there is interaction between user and the interface.
- Web Forms use the server based controls along with view state for managing the state of the model. MVC does not record state information unlike Web Forms.
- WebForms are basically event driven whereas, MVC is test driven.
- In case the development team is small, Webforms are mostly preferred for Rapid application development. MVC is best suited for larger project where more priority is given to testability or maintainability.
- It is easy to learn Webforms development in comparison to MVC development.
ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET WebForms, each could be the best choice for any particular solution. Depending on the requisites of an application along with the background of the team professionals involved, both the technology can serve the best purpose for your business prospective. Hence, one application can never replace the other.

DotNet Development and the Reasons Why It Is Preferred by Many

DotNet framework is developed by Microsoft known for its services like memory management, security and exceptional handling. It is a revolutionary expertise which has been in line with the creation of dynamic applications which are mostly interactive and user-friendly. It is mostly preferred platform for creating robust applications targeting desktop, laptop, Smartphones and all kinds of tablet users.
Since its launch it has been used by developers across the globe catering various software needs of diverse domains and industries. It has given high end web application services and has gained fame by being the most wanted technologies in the world. DotNet is a combination of a number of technologies, tools as well as international coding standards. The evolution of web development is likely attributed to DotNet development which has generated marvelous interest in creating cloud-based solutions too.
There is strong competition in the field of technologies and furthermore the need to generate more enterprise online with expertise and know-how. To achieve this, optimal use of DotNet development services is of great importance. This newest web expertise has encapsulated huge allowance of information and critical facts and figures which include details about customers, operations, services and the like. It can interact well between newer and older applications. With its advanced design features and tools, it manages security requirements and is highly portable which means it can run on multiple platforms.
Reasons for DotNet development rules the web development world and is the most favorite among programmers:
1. Support for Several Programming Languages
DotNet has multi-lingual capabilities which help developers of diverse origins and allows the developer for language programming comfortably. So one can easily pick his favorite DotNet framework-supported-programming-language and make robust web applications that will run in a virtual environment.
2. Higher security levels
It is rather one of the best in security features because of its defense-in-depth security scheme. The security grade of the applications can be ascertained by the developers as needed for database security, particularly if the apps is accessed remotely. The main security model of the DotNet framework comprises of a few core components such as, the code access security, role based security, cryptography and the application domains.
- Code access security: If any resource is to be accessed, but the code does not provide the permission, the access to that particular resource would be denied. It focuses on the policy and permissions as evidence aspects defined by the evidence-based security. The Code access security aspect of the DotNet framework has recently been modified and updated, so that it could be used and understood in a simpler manner.
- Cryptography: Within the DotNet framework the cryptography consists of the digital signatures, random number generation, hashing and more, where the elements are easily accessible to the developers. This aids in providing a high amount of flexibility when the security components are combined together at various levels of security present.
- Role Based Security: This aims to connect the security aspect the groups and the users within the application. This is generally done through the authorization and authentication, where then the security access level (permission) of the user is known by determining their role.
- Application domains: The DotNet framework ensures to keep the portions of an application separate from one another, with the help of the application domains which proves to be very helpful in the entire process. Due to the verified managed code of the framework it, the CLR is capable of high isolation within the process itself, where each process can comprise of a different security level.
3. Large Number of Ready to Use Classes
The DotNet Framework class library is divided into two parts: the Base Class Library and the Framework Class Library, which is huge includes an expanded set of libraries, including Windows Forms, ADODotNet, ASPDotNet, Language Integrated Query, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation etc. Many developers also love the DotNet framework to due to its large set of ready to use classes. The system classes can be used by any app that is developed on the platform. Further, Microsoft has developed the DotNet framework based on object oriented architecture. So each tag or code written by you will be treated as an object.
4. Supports data retrieval and recovery
DotNet possesses magnificent crash protection capability which helps in data recovery after a sudden crash effortlessly. It can detect any memory leak and can retrieve it back. These security measures make DotNet extremely reliable and secured to use.
5. Innovative Web Services
DotNet enables multiple functionalities in the websites making it marked as the most scalable and reliable platform, which fulfills all modern apps development requirements. It makes use of HTML, C#, and Javascript to create sophisticated as well dynamic websites. It has interoperability features and most demanding platform for web development.
6. Rapid development and wide coding standards
DotNet supports rapid application development and exhibits classic applications with the help of its powerful tools which are available in the IT market. This helps the developers avoid fresh new code and make use of existing code snippets and Windows application services. DotNet also supports various applications which are of immense advantage for the programmers.
Along with various other reasons, DotNet also manages to provide an excess of enhancements, modifications and customizations. Its features on various attributes which are akin to top quality and reliable solutions. It is profitable to hire offshore software providers who boast of amazing skill set and cost-effective services. This practice has worked wonders for many companies and continues to be beneficial for companies who opt for virtual developers adept in .net application development.
