How to troubleshoot slow Page Rendering in ASP.NET?

by rahul 11/20/2009 7:37:44 AM
Before I answer this question, let us have a quick refresher. Answer this question diligently… Is Page_Render in ASP.NET really an EVENT? A BIG ZERO if you have said YES! The answer is No, It is not. Here is an excerpt from MSDN… <snip> This is not an event; instead, at this stage of processing, the Page object calls this method on each control. All ASP.NET Web server controls have a Render method that writes out the control's markup that is sent to the browser. If you create a custom... [More]

Insert functionality in GridView – Part 2

by rahul 7/10/2009 1:33:07 PM
In my previous post I have shown that if you have no records in your table and try to bind that table to a grid view, you will get nothing. Not even the header rows. To get rid of this issue, there is a very simple way. 1. Select Edit Templates 2. Switch over to EmptyDataTemplate 3. Drag and drop a Form View control and bind it to the same data source. 4. Change the Default Mode of this Form View to Insert and you should be good to go. And if this doesn’t suit your bill… “Code”. ... [More]

Location of Temporary ASP.NET files in Vista or Windows 7

by rahul 7/9/2009 4:59:03 AM
Ideally, you would see the Temporary ASP.NET files in… C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files But, if you are working on Vista/Windows 7 and not running Visual Studio as an Administrator, you may find that this location Temporary ASP.NET Files will be empty. Thankfully, the functionality of the web application doesn’t get affected. Nevertheless, if you need to go to the Temporary ASP.NET Files, find it here… c:\Users\[myuserid]\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.N... [More]

Missing Insert functionality in GridView – Part 1

by rahul 7/6/2009 4:52:28 AM
I have never been a very big fan of “drag and drop, do data binding… get your application up in no time, and rejoice” approach, but sometimes when I am really lazy I go that route too. So, today was that day… I had a very simple requirement. Let’s take a look at the two tables below… one is Course (Master) and the other one is CourseArticle (Detail). My requirement is to use LINQ and see how fast I can make the things work in ASP.NET. Approach 1 : Using GridView Step 1. Drag and drop Gri... [More]

Sample ASPX page to show security details in ASP.NET

by rahul 4/5/2009 2:38:40 AM
This may come in handy if you are trying to troubleshoot security related issues in ASP.NET. I had this page posted here, but it was in VB.NET and I have been experiencing some issues with my previous blog site, so I am cross posting it here in C# for future reference. All you have to do is create a page (say security.aspx) and open it up in Notepad. Paste the following code, and you should be good.   <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//D...

Using Javascript and ASP.NET Ajax to create a continuous list

by rahul 1/28/2009 8:34:29 AM
What the heck is a continuous list anyway? Honestly, I don't know if I should be using this name or not, but probably this is what it looks like. Without further ado, let's see what I am referring to... Visit www.dzone.com - Notice that whenever you tend to reach the bottom of the page, there are some more items listed for you. The list seems almost endless, and I like this interface a lot, simply because it doesn't ask me to go to page N.   In this post, we will use the following to create... [More]

How to use httpModules to troubleshoot your ASP.NET application

by Rahul 7/13/2008 5:52:01 AM
No matter how many things you keep in mind before developing an application, when once they are put in production... quite often you will see something not behaving the way you expected. Many-a-times, the applications would throw an error which you can troubleshoot depending on the error message you found. In this post, my intention is not to cover those "error" scenarios. I intend to cover something which is more problematic to troubleshoot... like intermittent slowness in some pages, or some e... [More]
