In this blog post I have going to list out all of my IIS articles that I have published over last few years. Why I am going to do such post ? Because, I have been asked many question on IIS and different debugging options related with IIS and ASP.NET Applications by many readers. Many times I have had given reference of my different articles. This post will be the single reference for all of those articles. In this blog post I have given link and small overview of all of my IIS articles, so that I can refer a single articles to who ever wants to learn about IIS.

How to sort ASP.NET DropDownList based on DataValueField or DataTextField using LINQ? August 8, 2010

Sorting ASP.NET Dropdown list is very common requirement for any of the web application development. To Implement this features sometimes developers used to iterate through each and every item and create a sorted list of element then reassign the same source to dropdownlist or sort the element at source itself. But this thing can be done easily using LINQ. In this post I am going describe how you can sort a ASP.NET DropDownList based on either of DataTextField or DataValueField using LINQ and list of KeyValuePair elements as DataSource.
To start with the application, let’s consider you have following List of employee data as datasource of the DropDownList.
/// <summary>
/// Create List Of Employee
/// </summary>
List<KeyValuePair<int, string>> employees = new List<KeyValuePair<int, string>>
{ new KeyValuePair<int,string>(1,"Abhijit"),
new KeyValuePair<int,string>(2,"Rahul"),
new KeyValuePair<int,string>(3,"Kunal"),
new KeyValuePair<int,string>(4,"Atul"),
new KeyValuePair<int,string>(5,"Abhishek"),
};
In the employee list collection, you have added KeyValuePair for each element, where Key is employee ID and Value is the employee name. The most interesting part of using KeyValuePair is you can bind either of Key or Value with the DropDownList as per your requirement.
Now let’s bind the DropDownList with the DataSource
Bing Maps Silverlight Control Integration with SharePoint 2010 – Integration of Silverlight 4 with SharePoint 2010 July 19, 2010

In this article I have demonstrated how we can integrate a Silverlight Application with SharePoint 2010. I have used Bing Maps Control for Silverlight as example.
Development Environment
I have used below development Environment for this application
1. Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition
2. SharePoint 2010 Server
3. Silverlight 4.0 Toolkit
4. Bing Maps Silverlight Control SDK
Before starting development you have to install “Bing Maps Silverlight Control SDK” as a prerequisite. You can download the same from “Bing Maps Silverlight Control SDK” .Once you are done with the setup of Development environment the first thing you need to do is to register and create an account at https://www.bingmapsportal.com/ . Once you registered on bing maps portal, you need to provide below information to get an access key for using Bing Maps. (more…)
“CompressionEnabled” Session in ASP.NET 4.0 June 2, 2010

Session is the most important state management mechanism for a web application. In ASP.NET we are having two type of state management
1. In Process
2. Out Process
“In process” is the by default session storage mode for ASP.NET Web application. When it comes under Out Process we can use either of state server or SQL Server to persist our session data.
Here I am going to describe one new features added in ASP.NET 4.0 realted with Session. If you want to know about when to use session, what session mode to use, how to configure the session storage please read one of my article “Exploring Session in ASP.NET” published at CodeProject.
In case of In Process, session data stored in In memory of worker process. But when we are talking about “OutProc” session mode, we need to ensure that session data should be “Serialized” first . So, when we are moving session data from Web Server to Out Process Server ( State Server or SQL Server ) it can be a performance overhead based on the size of data that we are stroing in Session.
ASP.NET 4.0 comes us with a new option for compressing the Session data with Out Process Session mode. To enabling this functionality we need to add “compressionEnabled=”true” attribute with the SessionMode in web.config . Web.config entry would be look like below,
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" sqlConnectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI; data source=.;" <em>compressionEnabled="true" </em>allowCustomSqlDatabase="true">
This will compress / Decompress the session data during serialization / deserialzation of session data. ASP.NET 4.0 used System.IO.Compression.GZStream class to compress the session mode. One more important things to remember that use of compression mode is useful when we are storing large number of data in session because for every request it will going to use Gzip Compression/ Decompression going to be used to access the session variable.
Hope this will helps you !
CSS Friendly Menu Control in ASP.NET 4.0 May 18, 2010

It is very much easier to apply CSS when we have ul,li elements as the HTML content. If we look into ASP.NET Menu Control till Version 3.5, its render as Table-TR-TD Tag. Though Table/Tr/Td is quite useful to display tabular data but sometime creates a big problem when we need to do more work with CSS. To overcome this problem we generally used CSS Friendly adapter to render the ASP.NET Control in ul/li mode.
ASP.NET 4.0 makes the things easier for web developer by providing “RenderingMode” properties. Here we can specify RenderMode of a ASP.NET Menu control. Which define the what will be the HTML Render Content Type. Bydefault mode is “List” which means control will be render as ul/li.
As per the above diagram we can see that there are three mode available. We can use any one of them as per the requirement. (more…)

View State is one of the most important and useful client side state management mechanisms. It can store the page value at the time of post back (Sending and Receiving information from Server) of your page. ASP.NET pages provide the View State property as a built-in structure for automatically storing values between multiple requests for the same page.
we generally used “EnableViewState” Properties for both Page Level and Server Control Level to maintain the view state. Till ASP.NET 3.5 Version, Page Level view state control treat as highest priorities. Which means If we set EnableViewState= “False” in page level that will automatically derived by all the server side control. In that case if we set “EnableViewState=”True”” for any server side control will treat as false, as we have defined them “False” in Page Level.Here is one complete article on ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 View State , which may helpful for you
Now, let’s have a look into the changes in ViewState Control in ASP.NET 4.0. There is a massive change in View State Control in ASP.NET 4.0 which is very much helpful for developer also. Asp.net 4.0 added a new property to Page object and server controls called ViewStateMode. (more…)

Visual Studio IDE gives us a lot of tools to debug our application. Sometimes debugging activity takes a very long time to identify the root cause. But VS IDE provides a lot of handy tools which help to debug code in a better way. Debugger features include error listing, adding breakpoints, visualize the program flow, control the flow of execution, data tips, watch variables and many more. Many of them are very common for many developers and many are not. In this article, I have discussed all the important features of VS IDE for debugging like Breakpoint, labeling and saving breakpoints, putting conditions and filter on breakpoints, DataTips, Watch windows, Multithreaded debugging, Thread window, overview of parallel debugging and overview of IntelliTrace Debugging (more…)

Filter GridView Records using AJAX Slider Control March 12, 2010
Posted by Abhijit Jana in .NET 4.0, ASP.NET, General.add a comment
Sometimes we need to filter the gridview data based on some range value. On that case we can use AJAX Slider control to provide scrollable Filter functionality with gridview control. Data source for the Gridview can be anything like XML or Database.
You can read the complete article and Implementation and download the sample application from DotNetFunda.Com
I will also write one article on AJAX MulipleSlider to filter the data based on minimumn and maximum value.
Please share your valuable feedback and suggestion.
