URL Routing with ASP.NET 4 Web Forms (VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 Series)

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:41:59 GMT

URL routing was a capability we first introduced with ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, and which is already used within ASP.NET MVC applications to expose clean, SEO-friendly "web 2.0" URLs. URL routing lets you configure an application to accept request URLs that do not map to physical files. Instead, you can use routing to define URLs that are semantically meaningful to users and that can help with search-engine optimization (SEO). With ASP.NET 4.0, URLs like above can now be mapped to both ASP.NET MVC Controller classes, as well as ASP.NET Web Forms based pages.

ASP.net MVC Vs ASP.net Web Form

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:36:05 GMT

Software Architects have been involving lot of debates about the approaches and architectures. Some of the examples are ORM Vs Store Procedures, REST Vs SOAP, etc. There is a debate happening inside the Microsoft community about ASP.net web form Vs ASP.net MVC. Many people thinking that ASP.net MVC will be replace webforms at least eventually and others are thinking that ASP.net MVC will not be replace webforms. Will ASP.net MVC replace webforms?. ASP.net MVC is an alternative approach to webforms rather than a replacement. It will not replace webforms and webforms will not replace ASP.NET MVC. The fact is that ASP.NET MVC and webforms will co-exist and that ASP.NET MVC is not a replacement for webforms. If you prefer ASP.net MVC use it and you feel webform is more comfortable, you can use it. . Both approaches are just choices and different approaches and choices are good things. Different choices are available for other platforms especially in the Java platform.

How to easily insert row in GridView with SqlDataSource?

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:33:30 GMT

Asp.Net 2.0 GridView control is very powerful control. Developers at Microsoft really did a great job when designing it. Its like Swiss Army knife for selecting, editing, sorting, paging and displaying data. Combined with various DataSource controls (ObjectDataSource, SqlDataSource) it helps you execute most of your Read, Update and Delete operations without writing a single line of code. Off course, nothing is perfect. For example, creating new data is is one common task that is not so simple to accomplish with GridView. Let see how we can easily insert new rows of data using GridView and SqlDataSource...

Dynamically adding controls to ASPX pages (web forms) and assigning ev

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:00:13 GMT

Although I've seen a lot of articles describing how to dynamically add controls to a Web Form, few mention even a little hint to how you can make event handlers actually WORK with dynamically-added controls. This article may seem (and probably is) a beginner-level one, but I think it's essential to cover this issue.
