ASP.NET Coding Standards and Guidelines

1. Prefix user control names with “uc”

2. The rest of the user control name should be in Pascal Casing (Ex. ucMyUserControl)

3. Do not use session variables throughout the code. Use session variables only within the classes and expose methods to access the value stored in the session variables.

4. Do not store large objects in session, it may consume lot of server memory depending on the number of users.

5. Always use style sheet to control the look and feel of the pages.

6. Categories data and store it in predefine folder depending on its working.(e.g.- store all images, sound, video files in media or image folder)

Creating Context Menu for Data Grid.

We can create context menu for the Data Grid cell here is the code to create the context menu and to assign the event..

 // creating Context menu for data grid.
           ToolStripMenuItem mnuStart = new ToolStripMenuItem("Start");
           ToolStripMenuItem mnuStartAll = new ToolStripMenuItem("StartAll");
           ToolStripMenuItem mnuPause = new ToolStripMenuItem("Pause");           
           ToolStripMenuItem mnuDelete = new ToolStripMenuItem("Delete");

           mnuStart.Click += new EventHandler(mnuStart_Click); // creating the event handeler for the context menu.
           mnuStartAll.Click += new EventHandler(mnuStartAll_Click);
           mnuPause.Click += new EventHandler(mnuPause_Click);           
           mnuDelete.Click += new EventHandler(mnuDelete_Click);

           //Add to main context menu
           mnu.Items.AddRange(new ToolStripItem[] { mnuStart, mnuStartAll, mnuStartAll, mnuPause,  mnuDelete });

and for assigning it for the Mouse Right Click please use the following code..

private void dgFile_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
           {
               if (dgFile.Rows.Count == 0)
               {
                   dgFile.ContextMenuStrip = null;
               }
               else
               {
                   dgFile.ContextMenuStrip = mnu;
               }

Reading a XML file..

hi all,

Here is the code for reading all node or selected node of a XML file. We just have to take a xmlTextReader object and using that we can read the content of the xml file.

XmlTextReader xRead = new XmlTextReader((Application.StartupPath + "\\" + strNewFile));

try

{

//Reading the XML file

while (xRead.Read())

{

XmlNodeType nodeType = xRead.NodeType;

if (nodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)

{

if ((xRead.Name == "graphic") || (xRead.Name == "inline-graphic"))

{

if (xRead.HasAttributes)

{

xRead.MoveToAttribute(0);

strImagename = xRead.Value;

}

}

}

}

}

Creating controls at runtime in a web form

Hi,

Many time the need arises to create the controls in the web form while running the application. Here is the sample code to do the above task, even we can also create the event associated with that controls. In the Page load of the form where we want to create the control, write the following lines of code. For example i am creating a LINK BUTTON.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

LinkButton lnk = new LinkButton();

lnk.ID = "lnk" + 1;

lnk.Text = "more1";

lnk.Click += new EventHandler(LinkButton3_Click);

form1.Controls.Add(lnk);

}

protected void LinkButton3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Response.Write("Hello! Runtime created control");

}

you can create the other controls also using the above methods.. Thanks

Writing Excel file with data set

here is the way by which we can create a excel file. here i hvae use a data set in which all the values are present which i want to write in the excel sheet.

first of all the column head is stored in an array and the value is present in the data set.  You just need to add the COM reference in the application using the Microsoft 12.0 Excel object library.

Use the name space to create the excel object.

                                           

string[] sExcelRow ={ "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I",}

 Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Sheets sheets;                 

                  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks workbooks = exc.Workbooks;

                  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook workbook = workbooks.Add(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorksheet);

                  sheets = workbook.Worksheets;

                  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet worksheet;

                  worksheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);

   for (int i = 0; i <>

                  {

                      worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[i] + 1,  sExcelRow[i] + 1).Value2 = sExcelCol[i].ToString();

                      worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[i] + 1, sExcelRow[i] + 1).Font.Bold = true;

                      worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[i] + 1, sExcelRow[i] + 1).HorizontalAlignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Constants.xlCenter;

                      worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[i] + 1, sExcelRow[i] + 1).EntireColumn.AutoFit();

  for (int j = 0; j <>

                  {

                      string strFieldStatus = string.Empty;

                      for (int l = 0; l <>

                      {

                      

                              worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[l] + x, sExcelRow[l] + x).Value2 = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Convert.ToString(ldsUser1.Tables[0].Rows[j][l + 1]));

                              worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[l] + x, sExcelRow[l] + x).EntireColumn.AutoFit();

                              worksheet.get_Range(sExcelRow[l] + x, sExcelRow[l] + x).EntireColumn.NumberFormat = "@";

                        }

workbook.SaveAs(strFile1, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, false, false, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlShared, false, false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

 workbook.Close(true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
