Printing is a common feature needed in almost every type of web pages, there is a plenty of options to include print feature in your web page, i would like to describe two methods.
1.Printing Using java script
It is a simple task
This HTML code will return a Print button and you can click this button to print your web page.
2.Printing using web controls using ASP.net
Little programming effort is needed for printing web controls in your ASP.net application.
If you want to print contents of a web control in your ASP.net page, you can use following code segment, it is also using javascript for printing but it prints selected control only.
///
/// Prints any web control Grid view, DataGrid, Page , Panel etc.
///
///
public static void PrintWebControl(Control ctrl)
{
String Script;
StringWriter stringWrite = new StringWriter ();
HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
if ( ctrl is WebControl )
{
Unit w = new Unit(400, UnitType.Pixel);
((WebControl)ctrl).Width = w;
}
Page pg = new Page ();
if (Script != string.Empty )
{
pg.RegisterStartupScript ("PrintJavaScript",Script);
}
HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm ();
pg.Controls.Add (frm);
frm.Attributes.Add ("runat","server");
frm.Controls.Add (ctrl);
string scr = " ";
htmlWrite.Write(scr);
pg.DesignerInitialize();
pg.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
string strHTML = stringWrite.ToString();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTML);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(" ");
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}
You can pass the control to be printed as a parameter of PrintWebControl(Control ctrl) function.
Happy coding

In certain occasions you may need to export / import large excel spreadsheet to SQL server data base. In this small and simple article i would like to demonstrate the process of exporting / importing Excel Data into SQL server database.
Step 1:
I am assuming you have created a folder and uploaded your Microsoft Excel worksheet in that folder.
Step 2:
You can create class for creating an export function
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Data.OleDb;
///
/// Class for Exporting Excel Data to SQL server
///
public class clsExcelToSqlServer
{
public clsExcelToSqlServer()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
private string _FilePath;
public String FilePath
{
get { return _FilePath; }
set { _FilePath = value; }
}
public DataTable getDataFromExcelSheet()
{
try
{
//File path of Excel Spread sheet
FilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath) +
"/ExcelFolder/ExcelAppliance.xls";
//Connection string to connect Excel data
string strConnectionString = string.Empty; strConnectionString =
@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
+ FilePath + @";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1""";
OleDbConnection cnCSV = new OleDbConnection(strConnectionString);
cnCSV.Open();
//Selecting all rows from excel sheet
OleDbCommand cmdSelect = new OleDbCommand(@"SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", cnCSV);
OleDbDataAdapter daCSV = new OleDbDataAdapter();
daCSV.SelectCommand = cmdSelect;
DataTable dtCSV = new DataTable();
//Filling excel data into data table
daCSV.Fill(dtCSV);
cnCSV.Close();
daCSV = null;
return dtCSV;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
finally { }
}
}
getDataFromExcelSheet() function returns a Data Table and you can use this Data table to export data into to SQL Server.

Do you want to play your favourite music when someone opens your website?
just upload the file you want to play and add the following code
<object data="music.mp3" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="0" height="0" >
<param name="filename" value="Testmusic.mp3" >
<param name="autostart" value="1" >
<param name="playcount" value="true" >
< /object>
This is a cross browser script, but the browser must be installed with Apple Quicktime plugin.

I written a post regarding forms based authentication earlier, in one of my recent project i excluded some pages from forms based authentication so everyone can access that pages. for doing this you need to include seperate sections in web.config file for the pages to be excluded.
Example:
location path="add_new_articles.aspx" allowOverride="true" >
</system.web >
Example:
location path="add_new_articles.aspx" allowOverride="true" >
<system.web >
<authorization >
<deny users ="?" />

Microsoft SQL Server Express edition provides you a simple solution to create and manage your database for free of cost, it supports SQL Server 2005 programming model so it supports Transact-SQL, stored procedures, views, triggers, SQL Server CLR Integration (SQLCLR), and the XML data type.
Creating an SQL Server Express database:
You can create SQL Server database in two ways:
1.Using Visual Web Developer
In Visual Web Developer, open Solution Explorer, right-click the App_Data folder of your Web application, and then click Add New Item.
or
If your application does not have an App_Data folder, right-click the root folder of your Web application, click Add ASP.NET Folder, and then click App_Data.
Click SQL Database, type a name for the .mdf database file, and then click Add.
Two files are created: DataBaseName.mdf and DataBaseName_log.ldf.
2.Using tools provided by SQL Server Express edition
You can also create SQL server database by using CREATE DATABASE command or other tools provided by SQL Server Express Edition management studion
Connecting SQL Server Express Edition Database with ASP.net application:
You can connect to SQL Server Express database just like you connect to any SQL server Database by specifying database server as the local sql server express edition database.
or
you can also specify an attached Database file in App_Data folder.
Connection Strings
1.Specifying database server as the local SQL Server Express Edition database:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MyDataBaseName;Integrated Security=True;
2.Specifying an attached database file in App_Data folder:
Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=DataDirectory I MyDataBaseName.mdf;

Javascript,
web development
If you have a page that takes long time to display it is a good idea to display a "wait page loads" image. This post show you how to implement this in your webpage.
To implement this you will need to:
1. Every time your page loads a "init()" function will load.
<body onLoad="init()">
2. Define a div named "loading" right after <body> section.
<div id="loading" style="position:absolute; width:100%; text-align:center; top:300px;">
<img src="loading.gif" border=0></div>
The loading.gif image should be an animated gif that suggests that the page is still loading.
3. Place this javascript code right after you define the div.
var ld=(document.all);
var ns4=document.layers;
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;
var ie4=document.all;
if (ns4)
ld=document.loading;
else if (ns6)
ld=document.getElementById("loading").style;
else if (ie4)
ld=document.all.loading.style;
function init()
{
if(ns4){ld.visibility="hidden";}
else if (ns6ie4) ld.display="none";

Web 2.0
Figure1:a tag cloud constructed by Markus Angermeier presenting some of the themes of web 2.0
Figure2:Web 2.0 Meme Map
Characteristics:
Web 2.0 Web 2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.
They can build on the interactive facilities of "Web 1.0" to provide "Network as
platform" computing, allowing users to run software-applications entirely through a browser.
A Web 2.0 website must include:
1. CSS
2. Folksonomies (collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and
social tagging)
3. Microformats extending pages with additional semantics
4. REST and/or XML- and/or JSON-based APIs
5. Rich Internet application techniques, often Ajax-based
6. Semantically valid XHTML and HTML markup
7. Syndication, aggregation and notification of data in RSS or Atom feeds
8. mashups, merging content from different sources, client- and server-side
9. Weblog-publishing tools
10. wiki or forum software, etc., to support user-generated content
11. Internet privacy, the extended power of users to manage their own privacy in
cloaking or deleting their own user content or profiles.
Associated innovations:
It is a common misconception that "Web 2.0" refers to various visual design elements
such as rounded corners or drop shadows. While such design elements have commonly been found on popular Web 2.0 sites, the truth is that the association is merely one of fashion,a designer preference which became popular around the same time that "Web 2.0" became a buzz word.

Security Recommendations For a website
SSL Certificate
When you connect to a secure web server such as https://www.yourwebsite.com, the server authenticates itself to the web browser by presenting a digital certificate. The certificate is proof that an independent trusted third party has verified that the website belongs to the company it claims to belong to. A valid certificate gives customers confidence that they are sending personal information securely, and to the right place.
SSL certificates can provide you with non-forgeable proof of your website's identity, and customer confidence in the integrity and security of your online business. Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the advantages of SSL security and will often not purchase online from non-secure stores. All major web merchants use SSL security to encourage customers to buy online
An SSL certificate contains the following information:
The domain name for which the certificate was issued.
The owner of the certificate and the domain name.
The physical location of the owner.
The validity dates of the certificate.
Coding Recommendations
1.Run application with minimum previleges
To run with the minimum number of privileges needed, follow these guidelines:
Do not run your application with the identity of a system user (administrator).
Run the application in the context of a user with the minimum practical privileges.
Set permissions (ACLs, or Access Control Lists) on all the resources required for your application. Use the most restrictive setting. For example, if practical in your application, set files to be read-only. For a list of the minimum ACL permissions required for the identity of your web application.
Keep files for your Web application in a folder below the application root. Do not allow users the option of specifying a path for any file access in your application. This helps prevent users from getting access to the root of your server.
2.Guard Against Malicious user input
As a general rule, never assume that input you get from users is safe. It is easy for malicious users to send potentially dangerous information from the client to your application. To help guard against malicious input, follow these guidelines:
In forms, filter user input to check for HTML tags, which might contain script.
Never echo (display) unfiltered user input. Before displaying untrusted information, encode HTML to turn potentially harmful script into display strings.
Similarly, never store unfiltered user input in a database.
If you want to accept some HTML from a user, filter it manually. In your filter, explicitly define what you will accept. Do not create a filter that tries to filter out malicious input; it is very difficult to anticipate all possible malicious input.
Do not assume that information you get from the header (usually via the Request object) is safe. Use safeguards for query strings, cookies, and so on. Be aware that information that the browser reports to the server (user agent information) can be spoofed, in case that is important in your application.
If possible, do not store sensitive information in a place that is accessible from the browser, such as hidden fields or cookies. For example, do not store a password in a cookie.
3.Access data securely
Databases typically have their own security. An important aspect Web application security is designing a way for the application to access the database securely.
Use the inherent security of your database to limit who can access database resources. The exact strategy depends on your database and your application:
If practical in your application, use Windows Integrated security so that only Windows-authenticated users can access the database. Integrated security is more secure than using SQL Server standard security.
If your application uses anonymous access, create a single user with very limited permissions, and perform queries by connecting as this user.
Do not create SQL statements by concatenating strings that involve user input. Instead, create a parameterized query and use user input to set parameter values.
If you must store a user name and password somewhere to use as the database login credential, store them securely. If practical, encrypt or hash them.
4.Keep sensitive information safely
If our application transmits sensitive information between the browser and the server, consider using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Use Protected Configuration to secure sensitive information in configuration files such as the Web.config or Machine.config files.
If you must store sensitive information, do not keep it in a Web page, even in a form that you think people will not be able to view (such as in server code).
Use the strong encryption algorithms.
5.Use cookies Securely
Do not store any critical information in cookies. For example, do not store a user's password in a cookie, even temporarily. As a rule, do not store any sensitive information in a cookie that. Instead, keep a reference in the cookie to a location on the server where the information is located.
Set expiration dates on cookies to the shortest practical time you can. Avoid permanent cookies if possible.
Consider encrypting information in cookies.
6.Guard against Denial of service threats
Use error handling (for example, try/catch blocks). Include a finally block in which you release resources in case of failure.
Configure IIS to use throttling, which prevents an application from using a disproportionate amount of CPU.
Test size limits of user input before using or storing it.
Put size safeguards on database queries to help guard against large queries using up system resources.
Put a size limit on file uploads, if those are part of your application.

If you want to track or analyze who is accessing your website you can achieve this by capture the IP address of an incoming connection to your aspx page,in ASP.net it is easy.
Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] will return the ip address of the user
Example:
Lblipaddress.Text = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
suppose Lblipaddress is a label you want show ipaddress
You can log these values to a file or some other external program as you need to. it will NOT tell you how long they stayed at any one oage or what page they are currently viewing, just when their browser asked the server for the page.If you want a detailed analytics about the visitors by showing state,city,time spent and graphical statistics you can use Google Analytics service offered by google.

suppose this is our .csv file and we want to import address data from this file(note:fields are separated by commas).
Next step is to create a table in your database for importing
CREATE TABLE address(name varchar(50),place varchar(50),zipcode int)
GO
in the next step we will import data from csv file,open your sql server Query Analyzer and give query as shown in the figure below
the query is
BULK INSERT address FROM 'C:\address.csv'
WITH(FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
GO
you can check the data using SELECT command(select * from address)
enjoy

These three methods are used to clear session variables from the server,but the difference is
Session.Abandon includes Session.RemoveAll and also deletes the session id created for the session. So, subsequent request to .aspx page would create a new session with a new session id. Session.RemoveAll will remove all the user defined session variables but still keeps the session active.so if u want to end session you must use Session.Abandon().
Session.Clear() do the same job as Session.RemoveAll().

In some websites we can see buttons like A A A to increse font size of your website for giving readability to disabled people also,we can do it many ways,one option is to dynamically change css or using javascript.here is a simple method using javascript to do this.
Step 1: Add the following Javascript in the insde the <HEAD> tag of your HTML.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function changeFontSize(inc)
{
var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for(n=0; n<p.length; n++) {
if(p[n].style.fontSize) {
var size = parseInt(p[n].style.fontSize.replace("px", ""));
} else {
var size = 12;
}
p[n].style.fontSize = size+inc + 'px';
}
}
</script>
Step 2: Insert the following HTML anywhere in your blog - you can customize the text or replace it with visual graphics (like the alphabet A - one small and the other one slightly large)
<a href="javascript:changeFontSize(1)">Increase Font Size</a>
<a href="javascript:changeFontSize(-1)">Decrease Font Size</a>You can extend this to either all the HTML elements on your blog or limit it to only the text sections. The font size is specified in pixels.

what is a GUID? “GUID is a Globally Unique Identifier or GUID is a special type of identifier used in software applications in order to provide a reference number which is unique in the context for which it is used, for example, in defining the internal reference for a type of access point in a software application, or for creating unique keys in a database. While each generated GUID is not guaranteed to be unique, the total number of unique keys is so large that the probability of the same number being generated twice is very small.” (Wikipedia)
- GUID ensures global uniqueness
How to create GUID in c#.net:
Guid CartGUID = Guid.NewGuid();
GUID's are very helpful when we are implementing e-commerce websites,for giving shopping cart id's.

Hello friends,Security is a major concern when we are developing web applications
Asp.net provides you three types of authentication providers,that are windows,passport and Formss based.
Windows:
This uses capabilities of ISS for authentication,and passes the identity to code,this is the default authentication provider for asp.net.
passport:
this is an authentication service provided by Microsoft that offers a single logon facility and membership services for your asp.net website.
Forms:
Forms authentication provides you with a way to handle authentication using your own custom logic with in an ASP.NET application.
When a user requests a page for the application that requires authentication,ASP.NET checks for the presence of a special session cookie.
If the cookie is present, ASP.NET assumes the user is authenticated and processes the requested page.
If the cookie isn't present, ASP.NET redirects the user to a page you have provided as login page
This post gives you a small idea on how to configure your asp.net application for forms based authentication:
First of all you need to create a login page with two text boxes and one login button:
Refer the code below:
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" CssClass="login_box_big" Width="400px">
<table ><tr>
<td align="left" class="side_menu"> Login</td>
</tr><tr><td align="left">
<b>UserName:</b><asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td></tr><tr><td align="left">
<b>Password:</b> <asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server"
TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox> </td></tr><tr><td>
<asp:Button ID="LoginBtn" runat="server" CssClass="button"
onclick="Button1_Click" Text="Login" /></td></tr><tr><td>
<asp:Literal ID="ltrerror" runat="server" EnableViewState="False" Text="<div style="background-color:red;width:300px;color:white" >Error: Invalid Password</div><div style="height:10px;">
</div>"
Visible="False"></asp:Literal></td></tr></table></asp:Panel>In Login Buttons click event write the following code:
protected void LoginBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (txtUserName.Text=="YourUserName" && txtPassword.Text=="YourPassword")
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text,false);
}
else
{
ltrerror.Visible = true;
}
}
If you want to authenticate all pages in a folder in your application
(for exaple :Admin),put a web.config file in your folder and put the following tags inside <configuration> and <configuration/>tags
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
In the web.config file in your root of the application put the following tags inside <system.web> and </system.web> tags
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="AUTH" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="120" path="/">
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
the timeout section controls the interval at which the authentication cookie is regenerated.
Happy coding
