ASP.NET MVC 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Create SignalR Database Update Notifications using SQL Dependency in ASP.NET MVC ?

clock August 6, 2015 09:09 by author Peter

In this article, we will learn how to create SignalR database update notifications using SQL dependency in ASP.NET MVC 6. The following are the steps that we want to enable within the SQL Server first.
1. Enable Service Broker on the database
The following is the query that require to enable the service broker:
ALTER DATABASE BlogDemos SET ENABLE_BROKER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

2. Now Add Connection string to the Web.Config file and the following code:
<add name=”DefaultConnection” connectionString=”Server=servername;Database=databasename;User Id=userid;Password=password;” providerName=”System.Data.SqlClient” />

3. Next step, Enable the SQL Dependency
In Global.asax start the SQL Dependency in App_Start() event and Stop SQL dependency in the Application_End() event and write the following code:
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ConnectionString;

protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
//Start SqlDependency with application initialization
SqlDependency.Start(connString);
}

protected void Application_End()
{
//Stop SQL dependency
SqlDependency.Stop(connString);
}
}


4. Install SignalR from the Nuget
Run the following command in the Package Manager Console
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR

5. And then, Make a SignalR Hub Class
Make MessagesHub class in the Hubs folder
public class MessagesHub : Hub
{
private static string conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ToString();
public void Hello()
{
Clients.All.hello();
}


[HubMethodName("sendMessages")]
public static void SendMessages()
{
IHubContext context = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<MessagesHub>();
context.Clients.All.updateMessages();
}
}


6. Get the Data from the Repository
Make MessagesRepository to get the messages from the database when data is updated.
public class MessagesRepository
{
readonly string _connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ConnectionString;

public IEnumerable<Messages> GetAllMessages()
{
var messages = new List<Messages>();
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(_connString))
{
connection.Open();
using (var command = new SqlCommand(@"SELECT [MessageID], [Message], [EmptyMessage], [Date] FROM [dbo].[Messages]", connection))
{
command.Notification = null;

var dependency = new SqlDependency(command);
dependency.OnChange += new OnChangeEventHandler(dependency_OnChange);

if (connection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
    connection.Open();
var reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
    messages.Add(item: new Messages { MessageID = (int)reader["MessageID"], Message = (string)reader["Message"], EmptyMessage =  reader["EmptyMessage"] != DBNull.Value ? (string) reader["EmptyMessage"] : "", MessageDate = Convert.ToDateTime(reader["Date"]) });
}
}

}
return messages;
}

private void dependency_OnChange(object sender, SqlNotificationEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Type == SqlNotificationType.Change)
{
MessagesHub.SendMessages();
}
}

7. Next step, you must Register SignalR at startup class
Write the following code:
app.MapSignalR();

8. View Page
Create div messagesTable that will append the table data from the database
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
   <div id="messagesTable"></div>
</div>
</div>


Now Add the SignalR related scripts in the page.
getAllMessages is a function that return the partialview data and bind it into the messagesTable div.
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.1.1.js"></script>
<!--Reference the autogenerated SignalR hub script. -->
<script src="/signalr/hubs"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    // Declare a proxy to reference the hub.
    var notifications = $.connection.messagesHub;
  
    //debugger;
    // Create a function that the hub can call to broadcast messages.
    notifications.client.updateMessages = function () {
        getAllMessages()
      
    };
    // Start the connection.
    $.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
        alert("connection started")
        getAllMessages();
    }).fail(function (e) {
        alert(e);
    });
});
function getAllMessages()
{
    var tbl = $('#messagesTable');
    $.ajax({
        url: '/home/GetMessages',
        contentType: 'application/html ; charset:utf-8',
        type: 'GET',
        dataType: 'html'
    }).success(function (result) {
        tbl.empty().append(result);
    }).error(function () {
       
    });
}
</script>


9. Create Partial View Page
Create a partial view _MessagesList.cshtml that returns all the messages.
@model IEnumerable<SignalRDbUpdates.Models.Messages>

<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table class="table">
<tr>
    <th>@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.MessageID)</th>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Message)
    </th>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.EmptyMessage)
    </th>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.MessageDate)
    </th>
   
</tr>

@foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MessageID)
    </td>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Message)
    </td>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.EmptyMessage)
    </th>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MessageDate)
    </td>
   
</tr>
}
</table>

10. Set Up the Database
Create the database called blogdemos and run the following script:
USE [BlogDemos]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[Messages]    ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Messages](
[MessageID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Message] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[EmptyMessage] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[Date] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Messages] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[MessageID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Messages] ADD  CONSTRAINT [DF_Messages_Date]  DEFAULT (getdate()) FOR [Date]
GO


11. Let's Run the project
When eve data is inserted into the table the dependency_OnChange method will fire.

ASP.NET MVC 5 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Tracking Error with Log4net Library in ASP.NET MVC

clock June 29, 2015 08:48 by author Peter

Logging may be a method of tracking/monitoring what's happening when an application is in progress/running. Log records are going to be most required things when one thing goes wrong in your application, be it Windows Forms, mobile or web applications.

Here I will be able to be walking through the basic steps in implementing work functionality using Apache log4net framework in an ASP.NET MVC 5 application. I'm using Visual Studio express 2013 for web as my development environment targeting .NET framework 4.5. Open Visual Studio 2013 for web and build a new ASP.NET web application selecting MVC template.

Here in this demo application, we are going to use Apache Log4net framework for logging. We'd like to add reference of Log4net DLL using NuGet package manager. In VS 2013 solution explorer and then Right click on Reference and select Manage NuGet Packages. Search for ‘log4net’ and Install.

Once installation is successful, we are able to see the log4net DLL added beneath the solution explorer Reference section as shown below:

Next, we'd like to piece our application to use log4net logging framework. Add the below line in your startup.cs get into ASP.NET MVC5 solution folder. The below line of code provides data about log4net configuration file.
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "Web.config", Watch = true)]

Now, write the following code to web.config file:
<configSections>
<!-- Add log4net config section-->
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,     log4net" />
</configSections>

<log4net debug="true">
<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="logs\log.txt" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%-5p %d %5rms %-22.22c{1} %-18.18M - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>


Modify the Global.asax.cs and add the following code inside Application_Start() method.
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new FileInfo(Server.MapPath("~/Web.config")));

Now our log4net library is ready to use with MVC5 application.
Add logger declaration in classes for which we want to make logs as below:
readonly log4net.ILog logger = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

Use the following logger.Error() method to log messages when needed as you can see on the below picture:

Run an application and that we will see the log file generated underneath the logs folder under the application root directory as configured in the web config file.

ASP.NET MVC 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Authenticate HTML files with ASP.NET MVC ?

clock June 26, 2015 08:08 by author Peter

Today, let me explain about how to Authenticate HTML files with ASP.NET MVC. To Check Html URL is Authenticated or Not Using Asp.net/MVC using the following code:
Coding:
if (Request.RawUrl.ToLower().EndsWith(".html")) 

if (Request.Cookies[".ASPXAUTH"] != null) 

  string value = Request.Cookies[".ASPXAUTH"].Value; 
  if (value == null || value == "") 
  { 
     Response.Redirect("~/Account/LogOn"); 
  } 

else 

  Response.Redirect("~/Account/LogOn"); 

}

The .ASPXAUTH is the Form Authentication Cookies and Account is the Controller. The LogOn is the action. Next step, write the following code in webconfig section:
<buildProviders> 
<add extension=".html" type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider" /> 
<add extension=".htm" type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider" /> 
</buildProviders> 

<handlers> 
<add name="HTML" path="*.html" verb="GET, HEAD, POST, DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" resourceT
ype="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" /> 
<add name="HTM" path="*.htm" verb="GET, HEAD, POST, DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" resourceTyp
e="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" /> 
</handlers>  

I hope it works for you! Happy coding.

ASP.NET MVC 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Validate Input in ASP.NET MVC ?

clock June 18, 2015 08:37 by author Peter

When you develop an app, sometimes your requirements could be that you need to send HTML values from view to the controller. Sometimes, we tend to use HTML Editors to save lots of some information into the view. By default, ASP.NET MVC does not permit a user to submit the HTML content. thus let's have a look at how to submit your form with HTML content.

First step, Open Visual Studio, then choose "New Project", then choose ASP.NET MVC Apps.

Name it the project name, then click OK.

Now, select Internet Application, then click OK.

Next step, make a new Model
ValidateModel.cs
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace ValidateInputDemo.Models
{
    public class ValidateModel
    {
        public string description { get; set; }
    }
}

HomeController.cs
public ActionResult ValidateInput()
{
    return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult  ValidateInput(string description)
{
    ValidateModel validateInputModel = new ValidateModel();
    validateInputModel.description = description;
    return View(validateInputModel);
}

Add a new method to your Controller

ValidateInput.cshtml
@model ValidateInputDemo.Models.ValidateModel
@{
       ViewBag.Title = "ValidateInput";
}
@using (@Html.BeginForm("ValidateInput","Home",
FormMethod.Post, new { @id = "form1", @enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    <label id="lblDescription">Description

     @Html.TextAreaFor(m=>m.description, new {@id="txtDescription",@name="description" })

    <input type="submit" id="bttn_Submit" />
}


You can see in the code above, there is a text area and a submit button, have a glance within the browser. Press F5.

You'll be able to see in the preceding screen, if you type one thing into the description and press Submit then nothing happens.

Now check the following example. Add HTML content into text area.

You'll get the error higher than. This error comes because this is often the security from ASP.NET MVC. For applications, a user cannot send HTML values to the controller, but sometimes we wish to send values to the controller. For resolving this issue, we've the ValidateInput(false) attribute. simply place this into your controller and have a look.
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult  ValidateInput(string description)
{
   ValidateModel validateInputModel = new ValidateModel();
   validateInputModel.description = description;
   return View(validateInputModel);
}

Now press F5. After filling in the HTML attribute press the submit button, you will never get an error. So when you want to work with HTML attributes in your app text area or textboxes, remember to use validateinpute(false) in your ActionMethod.

Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. Thousands of add-on modules and designs let you build any site you can imagine. Drupal 7.37 Includes bug fixes and small API/feature improvements only (no major new functionality); major, non-backwards-compatible new features are only being added to the forthcoming Drupal 8.0 release. If you are looking for the right Windows ASP.NET Hosting provider that support Drupal 7.37, we are the right choice for you.

The 7.37 update also includes fixed a regression in Drupal 7.36 which caused certain kinds of content types to become disabled if we were defined by a no-longer-enabled module, removed a confusing description regarding automatic time zone detection from the user account form (minor UI and data structure change), allowed custom HTML tags with a dash in the name to pass through filter_xss() when specified in the list of allowed tags, allowed hook_field_schema() implementations to specify indexes for fields based on a fixed-length column prefix (rather than the entire column), as was already allowed in hook_schema() implementations, fixed PDO exceptions on PostgreSQL when accessing invalid entity URLs, added a sites/all/libraries folder to the codebase, with instructions for using it and added a description to the "Administer text formats and filters" permission on the Permissions page (string change).

ASP.NET MVC 6 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Bind the Checkboxlist from The Database?

clock May 21, 2015 09:55 by author Peter

In this article I will explain you about How to bind the Checkboxlist from the database. Let’s try to understand this with an example. We will be using Courses table in this example as shown in the following picture.

Write the following SQL scripts for creating Courses table and inserting data into it.
CREATE TABLE Courses (
  Course_ID int IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY,
  Course_Name varchar(50),
  Course_Duration int,
  IsSelected bit
)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('ASP.NET', 45, 1)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('C#', 45, 0)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('VB.NET', 45, 1)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('MVC', 45, 0)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('JQuery', 45, 1)
INSERT INTO Courses (Course_Name, Course_Duration, IsSelected)
  VALUES ('WCF', 45, 0)

Now, add your connectionstring with name="con" in the web.config file.
Write the below code in the Model class.
Model(Users.cs):
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
namespace MvcCheckBoxList.Models
{
    public class Users
    {
        public int Course_ID { get; set; }
        public string Course_Name { get; set; }
        public int Course_Duration { get; set; }
        public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
        public static List<Users> getUsers()
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["con"].ConnectionString);
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from Courses", con);
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds);
            var users = new List<Users>(ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count);
            foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
            {
                var values = row.ItemArray;
                var user = new Users()
                {
                    Course_ID = (int)values[0],
                    Course_Name = (string)values[1],
                    Course_Duration=(int)values[2],
                    IsSelected = (bool)values[3]
                };
                users.Add(user);
            }
            return users;
        }
    }
}

Write the following code in the Controller class.
Controller(UserController.cs):
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcCheckBoxList.Models;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
namespace MvcCheckBoxList.Controllers
{
    public class UserController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult UsersIndex()
        {
            List<Users> model = new List<Users>();
            model = Users.getUsers();
            return View(model);
        }
        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult UsersIndex(List<Users> user)
        {
            if (user.Count(x => x.IsSelected) == 0)
            {
                ViewBag.msg = "You have not selected any Course";
                return View();
            }
            else
            {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                sb.Append("You have selected – ");
                foreach (Users usr in user)
               {
                    if (usr.IsSelected)
                    {
                        sb.Append(usr.Course_Name + ",");
                    }
                }
                sb.Remove(sb.ToString().LastIndexOf(","), 1);
                sb.Append(" Courses");
                ViewBag.msg = sb.ToString();
                return View(user);
            }
        }
    }
}

Write the following code in the View:
View(UsersIndex.cshtml):
@model List<MvcCheckBoxList.Models.Users>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
  }
<h5 style="color:Red">@ViewBag.msg</h5>
@if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ViewBag.msg))
{
    using (Html.BeginForm("UsersIndex", "User", FormMethod.Post))
    {
       for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
        {
        @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m[i].IsSelected)
        @Html.Label(Model[i].Course_Name);
        @Html.HiddenFor(m => m[i].Course_Name);
        @Html.HiddenFor(m => m[i].Course_ID)
        <br />
        }
<div>  <input type="submit" value="Submit!" /></div>
    }
}

And here is the output:

When you click on Submit button then corresponding selected items will show.

Free ASP.NET MVC 6 Hosting UK – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Creating Routes with ASP.NET MVC 6

clock April 29, 2015 08:01 by author Peter

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create routes with ASP.NET MVC 6. When using MVC 6, you don’t create your Route collection yourself.

You let MVC create the route collection for you. And now, write the following code:
using Microsoft.AspNet.Builder;
using Microsoft.Framework.DependencyInjection;
namespace RoutePlay
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddMvc();
        }
        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseMvc();
        }
    }
}

The ConfigureServices() method is utilized to enroll MVC with the Dependency Injection framework built into ASP.NET 5. The Configure() system is utilized to register MVC with OWIN. This is what my MVC 6 ProductsController resembles:

Notice that I have not configured any routes. I have not utilized either tradition based or property based directing, yet I don't have to do this. If I enter the request “/products/index” into my browser address bar then I get the response “It Works!”:

When you calling the ApplicationBuilder.UseMvc() in the Startup class, the MVC framework will add routes for you automatically. The following code will show you, what the framework code for the UseMvc() method looks like:
public static IApplicationBuilder UseMvc([NotNull] this IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    return app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
    });
}
public static IApplicationBuilder UseMvc(
    [NotNull] this IApplicationBuilder app,
    [NotNull] Action<IRouteBuilder> configureRoutes)
{
    // Verify if AddMvc was done before calling UseMvc
    // We use the MvcMarkerService to make sure if all the services were added.    MvcServicesHelper.ThrowIfMvcNotRegistered(app.ApplicationServices);
    var routes = new RouteBuilder
   {
        DefaultHandler = new MvcRouteHandler(),
        ServiceProvider = app.ApplicationServices
    };
     configureRoutes(routes);
     // Adding the attribute route comes after running the user-code because
    // we want to respect any changes to the DefaultHandler.
    routes.Routes.Insert(0, AttributeRouting.CreateAttributeMegaRoute(
        routes.DefaultHandler,
        app.ApplicationServices));
     return app.UseRouter(routes.Build());
}


The AttributeRouting.CreateAttributeMegaRoute() does all of the heavy-lifting here (the word “Mega” in its name is very appropriate). The CreateAttributeMegaRoute() method iterates through all of your MVC controller actions and builds routes for you automatically.
Now, you can use convention-based routing with ASP.NET MVC 6 by defining the routes in your project’s Startup class. And here is the example code:
using Microsoft.AspNet.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Routing;
using Microsoft.Framework.DependencyInjection;
namespace RoutePlay
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddMvc();
        }
       public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseMvc(routes =>
            {
                // route1
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "route1",
                    template: "super",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Products", action = "Index" }
                );
                // route2
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "route2",
                    template: "awesome",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Products", action = "Index" }
                );
            });
        }
    }
}


I hope this tutorial works for you!
