- 2. .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language implemented on the .NET Framework. Although it is an evolution of classic Visual Basic language, it is not backwards-compatible with VB6, and any code written in the old version does not compile under VB.NET. VB.NET is implemented by Microsoft's .NET framework.
- 3. The .NET framework is a software development platform developed by Microsoft. The framework was meant to create applications, which would run on the Windows Platform. The first version of the .NET framework was released in the year 2002. The version was called .NET framework 1.0.
- 4. The .NET framework can be used to create both - Form- based and Web-based applications. Web services can also be developed using the .NET framework. The framework also supports various programming languages such as Visual Basic and C#. So developers can choose and select the language to develop the required application.
- 5. .NET framework architecture .NET components .NET framework design principle
- 7. The "Common Language Infrastructure" or CLI is a platform on which the .Net programs are executed. The CLI has the following key features: Exception Handling - Exceptions are errors which occur when the application is executed.
- 8. The .NET Framework includes a set of standard class libraries. A class library is a collection of methods and functions that can be used for the core purpose. For example, there is a class library with methods to handle all file-level operations. So there is a method which can be used to read the text from a file. Similarly, there is a method to write text to a file. Most of the methods are split into either the System. Or Microsoft. Namespaces. (The asterisk just means a reference to all of the methods that fall under the System or Microsoft namespace)
- 9. The types of applications that can be built in the .Net framework is classified broadly into the following categories. Win Forms – This is used for developing Forms-based applications, which would run on an end user machine. Notepad is an example of a client-based application. ASP. Net – This is used for developing web-based applications, which are made to run on any browser such as Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox. The Web application would be processed on a server, which would have Internet Information Services Installed. Internet Information Services or IIS is a Microsoft component which is used to execute anAsp.Net application. ADO. Net – This technology is used to develop applications to interact with Databases such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
- 10. The following design principle of the .Net framework is what makes it very relevant to create .Net based applications. Interoperability - The .Net framework provides a lot of backward support. Suppose if you had an application built on an older version of the .Net framework, say 2.0. And if you tried to run the same application on a machine which had the higher version of the .Net framework, say 3.5. The application would still work. This is because with every release, Microsoft ensures that older framework versions gel well with the latest version. Portability- Applications built on the .Net framework can be made to work on any Windows platform. And now in recent times, Microsoft is also envisioning to make Microsoft products work on other platforms, such as iOS and Linux. Security - The .NET Framework has a good security mechanism. The inbuilt security mechanism helps in both validation and verification of applications. Every application can explicitly define their security mechanism. Each security mechanism is used to grant the user access to the code or to the running program.
- 11. Memory management - The Common Language runtime does all the work or memory management. The .Net framework has all the capability to see those resources, which are not used by a running program. It would then release those resources accordingly. This is done via a program called the "Garbage Collector" which runs as part of the .Net framework. The garbage collector runs at regular intervals and keeps on checking which system resources are not utilized, and frees them accordingly. Simplified deployment - The .Net framework also have tools, which can be used to package applications built on the .Net framework. These packages can then be distributed to client machines. The packages would then automatically install the application.
- 12. Web Forms is a web application framework and one of several programming models supported by the Microsoft ASP.NET technology. Web Forms applications can be written in any programming language which supports the Common Language Runtime, such as C#or Visual Basic. Main building blocks of Web Forms pages are server controls, which are reusable components responsible for rendering HTML markup and responding to events
- 13. A technique called view state is used to persist the state of server controls between normally stateless HTTP requests. Web Forms was included in the original .NET Framework 1.0 release in 2002 (see .NET Framework version history and ASP.NET version history), as the first programming model available in ASP.NET. Unlike newer ASP.NET components, Web Forms is not supported by ASP.NET Core
- 14. Web forms are based on ASP.NET (ASP stands for Active Server Pages). Visual Basic will handle the details of working with ASP.NET for us, so in the end, it feels much like you're working with a standard Windows Visual Basic project. But the difference is that you're creating a Web page or pages that can be accessed by any browser on the Internet. These Web pages are given the extension .aspx, so, for example, if your program is called Calculate Rates, you might end up simply directing users to a Web page called CalculateRates.aspx, which they can open in their browsers
- 15. Web form-based application is much like developing a Windows form based application. Visual Basic will manage the files on the server automatically, and you don't have to explicitly upload or download anything, and that's very cool because we can make use of all that Visual Basic already offers us, such as drag-and-drop programming, IntelliSense code prompts, what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) visual interface designing, project management, and so on.
- 16. There are two varieties of Web form controls—server controls and client controls. Web server controls run not in the browser, but back in the server. That means that when an event occurs, the Web page has to be sent back to the Web server to handle the event. However, you can force Web server control events like Selected Index Changed to be sent back to the server at the time they occur if you set the control's AutoPostBack property to True (see "Forcing Event Handling" in the Immediate Solutions section of this chapter).
- 17. Control Does this Label A label control. Textbox A text box control. List Box A list box control. Image A control that simply displays an image. Checkbox A checkbox control Button A button control. Table A control that creates an HTML table.
- 18. Visual Basic creates some Web server controls especially for Web forms, but it also supports the standard HTML controls such as HTML text fields and HTML buttons. You can turn all standard HTML controls into HTML server controls, whose events are handled back at the server. To do that, you right-click a control and select the "Run As Server Control" item. When you do, you can handle such HTML server controls in Visual Basic code in your program by connecting event handling code to them just as you would in Windows forms.
- 19. Control Does this HtmlForm Creates an HTML form. HtmlTextArea Creates an HTML text area (two-dimensional text field) HtmlAnchor Creates an element for navigation HtmlButton Creates an HTML button using the element. HtmlInputImage Creates an HTML button that displays images HtmlSelect Creates an HTML select control. HtmlImage Creates an HTML specified. Element.
- 20. Web form programming differs from Windows form programming—in saving the current state of the data in controls. They're reset to their default value each time the page is sent on a round trip to the server, so making sure that the data in your variables is stored is up to you. To see how to do this, see "Saving Program Data across Server Round Trips" in the Immediate Solutions section of this chapter. There are two possible places to store the data in a page: in the page itself—that is, in the client—and in the server. To see how this works, take a look at "Saving Program Data across Server Round Trips" in this chapter; I'll also take a look at them in overview here.
- 21. Before you create a Web application, you must have the Internet Information Server (IIS) running on the target server (which also must have the .NET Framework installed) that will host your application. The reason IIS must be running on the target server is that Visual Basic will create the files you need and host them directly on the server when you create the Web application (usually in the IIS directory named wwwroot). Instead of specifying a local or network disk location in the Location box, you enter the location you want to use on a Web server. I'm using a local server (that is, a server on my computer) named STEVE that would make the URL for the main Web form in the application, which is WebForm1, "http://STEVE/Ch14/application name/WebForm1.aspx".
