How to do Caching in MVC?

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

We all are aware about MVC. Today, in this blog post we will see how the performance of MVC can be improved with Caching. MVC is all about actions. Let’s say whenever any request is generated, a call is initiated to the controller.

Then we get the result and bind the view. Let’s say if the user is requesting same view 50 times. Well, this is a situation that occurs hardly. In certain cases, it is necessary to use the most useful thing known as Caching. This ensures that there are no actions that require what will happen within the same time frame.

So, what is Caching?

Caching is basically a technique that is used to enhance performance. It helps to avoid frequent actions that already occurred with the output Caching. The view that is available won’t be seen again if it is available in limited time period.

It will show the one that is rendered already. It will cache those contents that are returned by controller action. Let’s assume that you have a controller which will return the debit credit transaction from the database.

Generally, when the user hits a controller then it will reduce the DB and collect the data. However, this is not needed to hit the DB again as the data will be same for the week. Hence, we can set the output caching so that within the time interval the controller contents are available in cache which will help viewers to render cached data.

How to activate Output Caching?

caching-in-mvc
First of all, a simple application is developed in Visual Studio.

Then, control is created in MVC application. Once the controller is ready then we need to develop a simple view and then we will change the index action in the controller in the following code snippet.


public ActionResult Index()
{
return Content(DateTime.Now.ToString("T"));
}

Now, returning back from the current code time from the controller, we will refresh the view constantly. For example; 2 times in 5 minutes. This means within five minutes the controller is hit twice.

So, where are the cached Contents?

Here, we will see all the locations that can save our cache data. Generally, the contents are cached in these three locations:

  • Web Server
  • Proxy server
  • Web Browser

One can always decide where one wants to save the cached data. Let’s say whether it is in the server, client or both server and client with the use of location property. Here, we can keep any location.

There are certain situations that one must not cache in the server. For example; we have a controller which returns the country name of the user that is logged in the application. It is not necessary to cache any personal data in the server.

It is advisable to cache the data into client. With the use of Output Cache Location; one must include namespace using System Web UI.

Cache Profiles:

Another way of achieving the caching is to use Cache profiles. It is nothing but creating a tag in web configuration file and then apply it for various controllers. In this way, one can have the same cache profile for various controls.

Then it becomes easy to make changes in the cache profile just like the tag in the web configuration file. All the changes in cache profile will get easily applied.

Take Away:

So, this is all about caching. In our next post; we will discuss how caching can be done in ASP.net 5 and MVC 6 very soon.

Try caching now. Let us know how this blog post was useful to you. Do share your experience with us. Stay connected to know more about asp.net from Softqube Technologies; a well known ASP.net application development company in India.

How to Monitor Server Tasks with ASP.NET, SignalR and Bootstrap?

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

We all know that browsers are designed to get information from the server. Developers are able to push data to browsers from servers. The basic thing is to display the progress of a long running task within a web page in a browser.

This becomes very easy with ASP.NET, SignalR and Bootstrap. Here, in this blog post we will explain it how:

ASP.NET, SignalR and Bootstrap

Monitoring Server tasks with ASP.net:

Some of the web developers found an easy and effective way to display the progress of a server based process within a web page. They had done lot of struggle to develop one which can be easily updated with server side notifications.

This entire process consists of three stages:

  • A user clicks the button to initiate a lengthy task on the server.
  • The main user interface remains intact and a new DIV section is brought out into open and it displays the progress in the task.
  • As the task is about to finish on the server, various updates are reported and then these are automatically displayed in the IFRAME or DIV.

The main problem here is there’s no straight forward way for web clients to get updates from the server. The entire web works in the same way. Server requests get quick response but there’s no other way for a server to send autonomous messages which can be pushed to one or more clients.

Before ASP.net came into existence; all problems were solved by developers with the help of polling. Later with the arrival of this platform, a powerful framework came into existence which took traditional polling approach to next level.

It offers an easy way for every server to client push communication. This has been around for few years from now. The architecture and various steps to install ASP.net Signal R solution are discussed in various articles.

So, let’s take a look how this technology provides live updates on repeated connections and this will reveal how this can be used to implement progress bars as well as Bootstrap based bars in common:

Web Sockets and Server Sent Events:

ASP.net prefers to use Web sockets only when these are allowed by browsers and web servers. Web sockets need IIS 8.0 and Windows Server 2012. These also work in IIS 8.0 Express but not in Windows 7.

Any solution that is based on ASP.Net Signal R works as expected irrespective of the version of any of the web servers or operating system. This can be done by using HTTP for long when nothing better is available.

This new HTTP 1.0 protocol develops a new connection which is set up between the browser and web server for every request. When the response is sent, the connection is closed by the server. Later, the HTTP 1.1 protocol suggests that browsers must reuse the same connection to download multiple resources.

This saves the cost of repetitive TCP connections set up. There one has worthwhile improvement as it maintains the rule that one response is sent as per the request. Long polling can be used over HTTP 1.1 to have results from servers and clients working together.

As soon as the new request arrives, the server can send a quick response and then end the connection. When the response is not sent then headers are just sent back and then it waits for the complete response to be available.

Further, the connection is closed and then the browser repeats the request and then it is continued till the full response is obtained. The Web Socket protocol implements complete duplex communication over TCP.

However, on the same time frameworks can be developed to adapt it in order to support full duplex HTTP channel between a configured pair of browser and web server. This task is covered into several steps and every step marks the amount of work done.

The programming API is made of three methods: Notify Start, Notify Progress and Notify End. All these methods are defined in ASP.NET SignalIR hub class.

Wind Up:

The perfect combination of ASP.NET signal R and bootstrap has transformed the dream of web developers into reality. It is now possible to begin with potential lengthy task from the client and then stay informed about the progress as soon as it takes place on the server.

This needs lots of knowledge about intricacies of ASP. NET Signal R however it has been easier today. So, next time you wish to keep an eye on your server tasks then this blog will be a perfect guide for you.

How to Secure an ASP.net Web API Using HMAC?

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

While you develop an API, it is necessary to ensure its security because this API is going to be exposed over the internet. Here, we will show you how HMAC authentication mechanism can be used to protect your API.

Further, a source code will also be given that can be used to secure an ASP.NET Web API using HMAC.

So, first of all let us understand what is HMAC? Later then, we will discuss as to how it can be used to secure an ASP.net web API?

HMAC – Meaning and Definition:

HMAC stands for Hash base Message Authentication Code. When the implementation request is received from a client to the Web API then it will ensure to have data integrity, request origination and no replay request.

These three main points address the most important security vulnerabilities which an API service can expose.

So, how HMAC exactly works?

This works basically on a shared secret between the client and the server. A cryptographic hashing depending on a particular set of parameters like as client ID, request method, Request URL, a nonce value, timestamp and the real content by using the secret key.

With the request authorization header, there are a few values which can be used in the client side comparison like as nonce, timestamp and much more. These are separated by a special character and then sent to plain text.

It is noted that this string must not contain any values which only the client and the server must know. Here, is the sequence of steps followed on the server to know whether the request is valid or not:

Steps to identify the request validity:

  • Client ID is validated.
  • Nonce value and timestamp are used to identify whether it’s a replay request.
  • Secret key is fetched for the given client ID and using all other parameters, the HMAC string is then generated.
  • HMAC string generated on the server is compared on the server.

The .NET framework comes with pre developed class for HMAC. It supports both SHA1 and MD5 cryptographic hashing. The SHA1 based HMAC classes offer flexibility to boost hashing bits such as 160, 256 or 512.

Let’s take a look at its source code:

In this sample, we will find the sample console client as well as ASP.NET WEB API applications which implement HMAC authentication.

Develop a console application and then add the below given code in the program.cs file. The http client must be passed on with a custom delegating handler.

ASP.NET WEB API applications

This command “PostAsJsonAsync” will only be available once you include “Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client” from the NuGet packages. Select a custom delegating handler with the codler below:

ASP.NET WEB API Applications

Develop a Web API and a Portfolio API controller. Once it is done then run the application and then the post will happen successfully. There’s no change to be done to the server.

Now, the Authentication filler is to be added in the ASP.NET Web API which will do server side HMAC authentication. The code for it is as follows:

ASP.net__6019

So, now everything you need is to adorn the action method with the HMAC Authentication Attribute. Now, here the ASP.NET Web API is secure.

Wind Up:

This sum up the HMAC authentication process of an ASP.NET Web API. Hope this guide is useful to you to implement HMAC authorization in a Web API. Liked this blog post?

Best Way to Hire Dedicated Microsoft .NET Developers

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

Development is an important part as without it is almost impossible to sustain in this IT world. The need for expert developers is unending and hence most of the youngsters prefer to choose development as their career.

But do you think that those who are in this field just for money can actually fulfill the needs of their clients? Or talent, passion, skills is something that matters in development field. Well, this is not the point we are going to discuss here.

It was just a thought in my mind which I shared with my readers. So, here basically today we are going to show you some tips or we can say we are going to reveal some secrets which will help you to hire appropriate developers.

First of all, let me make it clear that this blog post is specially meant for those business owners who are in search of dedicated Microsoft Developers.

So, whatever tips we will give you are based on the notion that you are in need of qualified experts to fulfill your development tasks. Yes, obviously you can try these for hiring other developers as well and let us know your feedback then if you do so.

Tips to Hire Quality Microsoft Developers:

  • Think of Design: Before actually hiring any developer, look what actually his /her skills are. How much is she/he interested in activities that need creativity like as art, music, dance, craft etc.
    asp

    Because a person may have educational background in development field but it may not be really interested in the task. His interests and skills may vary from what he she has studied. So,preferable to take a look at its development projects and decide whether the candidate is eligible to fulfill your tasks or not.

    If you are interviewing freshers’ then you can ask them to develop something on the spot. This will reveal their confidence skills as well as show how deeply a person gets involved in the work and how accurate as well as qualitative his/her work is.

    Further, the candidate must be willing to learn new things. Then only, you will be able to have a team that can understand and fulfill the needs of the clients easily and quickly. Also, choose candidates who are really passionate about working on the projects and implementing new ideas.

    You can judge their interest by asking them about themselves and see what they say, what they like. If you are good at hiring then you will easily judge whether the person is able to perform as per the needs or not.

  • Take sufficient time to hire: If you want quality then you need to wait for the right candidate to come and take sufficient time till you get the person you are in need of. Patience is important here.

    Because one quality candidate will bring in other quality candidates as even they love to work with quality people. So, never compromise quality just to hire candidates in a hurry.

    Instead of hiring four C level developers, it is recommended to wait and hire an A level developer who is equal to those four. Good software is developed with a good team and hence it is necessary to have a bunch of quality developers.

    Always the problems caused during development process are solved with the help of experts’ team. So, don’t be dependent on just one or two developers. Try to get best out of everybody and every developer has different perspective, so a team can work well with proper ideas by sharing knowledge with each other.

  • Go For Talent: See the talent in the candidate and even if the qualification is not as per the job description, hire them because talent works more lot than the bookish knowledge. So, next time you hire any developer; make sure to keep these things in mind.
  • Choose the ones that fit to your culture: Apart from just having talent; it is necessary that the person must be able to fit in your work environment so that you as well as the candidate both are comfortable working with each other.

    Always choose candidates keeping work culture at the back of mind. For e.g.: You love to enjoy weekends with employees while the candidate you are hiring may not have this liking and he/she might prefer to do work instead of enjoying or just be with family.

    So, such small things matter a lot. You can easily judge this by knowing what they like and dislike. This is the reason why we advise you to talk with employees and try to understand them rather than just looking at their biodata for the skills you need.

    In short a candidate you select must be able to do work effectively as well as have skills to be a good team player. Hence, it is important to know whether you want people who love to work in teams or those who love to work individually.

  • Work is the motivational factor: It is the work that motivates your employees. Job satisfaction is necessary to keep employees glued to the work. Bigger companies generally have less motivational factors and there are times when employees have to sit for free with less or no work.

    Sometimes people are willing to work with start ups no matter if they pay less as compared to big companies. The reason they are in search of more work. Developers must feel that they are actually contributing to the company.

    So, always offer such work to employees through which they feel that they are actually useful to the company and they play an important role in the boosting company’s reputation.

Wind Up:

Now, next time when you are in search of dedicated Microsoft developers; make sure you use these tips to hire them and select the real candidates whom you actually need. Let us know if you have more of such tips which will be useful to our readers.

An Overview about ASP.NET5 – New Version of ASP.NET

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

As we all know, ASP.NET is one of the most well known web application frameworks designed to create dynamic web pages. Recently, the new version of ASP.NET is launched by Microsoft known as ASP.NET 5.

It’s really a very well developed platform which can be used to build websites. Basically, ASP.NET was developed to make the task of web development as easy as desktop development. Every single code was to be included in a separate file and then html code was combined in a compile step and then a page was issued by the server with a view to work with that browser.

And finally, the objective to make web programming as easy as desktop programming was achieved. With this new version ASP.NET 5, the entire code and mark up of web forms is replaced with WebAPI.

Overview of ASP .Net 5

Hence, the new ASP.NET5 can make use of open source.NET Core as well as .NET Framework. Here, .NET core provides cross platform facility and apart from Windows, Linux or OSX can also be used with .NET.

The Features of New ASP.NET Version- ASP.NET 5

  • Supports side by side app versioning.
  • Makes web development more easy.
  • Single Aligned Web stack for Web UI and Web APIs.
  • Configuration based on cloud environment.
  • In built support for using NuGet packages.
  • In built support for dependency injection
  • Can easily host websites on IIS or can use self host process.

This can only work well if you leave Web forms and wish to adopt other technologies as .NET Core doesn’t support web forms and so if you are willing to use this version then Web forms must be avoided.

Depending on customers’ feedbacks and requests, Microsoft decided to launch a new version of ASP.NET – ASP.NET 5. These changes were made keeping in mind the needs of the customers and target modern web application development.

If you have any application developed in older ASP.NET versions then they can run smoothly however if you need to take advantage of new ASP.NET 5 features then the current code needs to be shifted to a newer framework.

This is a simple process that includes fixing some issues instead of re-writing the complete application. One can start working on ASP.NET by using Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6.

Why was ASP.NET Re designed?

Looking back at previous .NET frameworks, it is understood that the application was only be installed on a single framework while with this new version, windows machine along with ASP.NET can support any kind of .NET application. Hence, we can say that ASP.NET offers more flexibility and can easily run on three runtimes viz. Full CLR, Core CLR and Cross Platform CLR.

Wind up

Hope this information will be useful to those who are willing to use the new version of ASP.NET and for those information diggers who just love to update themselves with latest technology news; this article will provide relevant details about ASP.NET 5.

Further, those who wish to switch to this frame work for developing flexible ASP.NET web applications as well as web pages can get in touch with expert web developers from well known Web Development Company, Softqube Technologies.

Best Practices for Silverlight Development

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

With years of experience working with Silverlight development, we have found some of the best practices that must be utilized while working with Silverlight and we are sharing this with you. This will help you while writing XAML codes. Follow these guidelines whenever you are editing these codes (XAML codes).

some best practices for XAML coding:

  • Avoid using unnecessary xmnl name spaces in the XAML file. Using unnecessary files increases the burden on the load time of Silverlight page. (make use of re shaper to identify unnecessary usage of xmnl name spaces).
  • Avoid adding similar name spaces several times in a single XAML page. This leads to the damage of XAML code while maintaining the website and it also causes various memory issues.
  • Remember to choose an easy name for xmnl name space so that you can recognize them easily. This makes it easy for you to identify the multiple uses of namespaces in the file.
  • It is recommended that you use local controls or local converters as prefix for your xmnl namespace. Just using local as a prefix will make no sense. For different xmnl name spaces, it is advisable to use relevant names to easily distinguish between them in a proper manner.
  • In case , you have added some control without any elements then always remember to close it by using a self close tag “/>” instead of the hard closing tag . This makes XAML code more clean and tidy.
  • Avoid using unnecessary resource keys that are not in use. Using many of them, leads to maximum memory usage. Further you may sometimes find animation issues.
  • Use extra panels like Grid, Stack panel only when needed.
  • In case you are in need of using panels, then go for grid panels first. This is because Grid has flexible user interface layout and resizing your application provides a tremendous effect.
  • Leave your controls without names inside the Silverlight page to avoid unnecessary object creations during the load time.
  • Prefer to name only those elements that you will use from your code or from XAML. In case of MVVM pattern, control naming can be removed in most of the cases.
  • If you wish to hide the content then go for visibility property instead of opacity property. Zero opacity will definitely hide the content but will take more space in memory as well as user interface. While visibility property crashes the control from user interface and creates space for other controls in the same place.
  • Always remember to do proper formatting of your XAML code in order to provide better look of code.
  • Always prefer to use comments in XAML as and when needed. This helps to keep a track of work and is really useful to guide you when you again get back to work.

Conclusion:

Our best practices of Microsoft Silverlight business applications are definitely going to help you a lot and for more such informational articles, stay tuned to our blogs. Regarding any guidance to Silverlight development, get connected with our expert Silverlight or XAML developers at Softqube Technologies.

Upgrading an ASP.NET Web Application to ASP.NET 4

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

Visual studio automatically performs all the changes when a single web project is opened for multiple .Net frameworks such as .Net framework 2.0, 3.0 or updated versions. If that project is a local IIS7.0 project then Visual studio conversion wizard has the capability to reassign the application along with other applications associated with .Net framework 4.

Visual studio must be used to do the tasks which need to be updated constantly. If that’s not the case then web.config file can be edited manually in such a way that it is associated with the IIS applications in .Net framework.

Here, we have covered some of the methods that will be used to upgrade a Web Application as the later .Net framework versions are designed to be compatible with earlier versions. Any component that was developed for earlier version of the .Net framework might have changed in the current version of .Net framework.

Steps to upgrade an application using Visual Studio:

  • Open a web project in Visual Stuido
  • Click Next on Visual Studio Welcome Box

    • Visual Studio Welcome Box

  • For transforming a project in Visual Studio conversion Wizard, select backup options: Yes , create a backup before converting and then finally select Next. Below image can explain this clearly :

    • Visual Studio conversion Wizard

  • Upgrading a solution instead of any project will make changes to the solution file in visual studio 2010 format.
  • Select “Finish” in Ready to Convert dialog box in order to convert any project.

    • ready to convert any project

  • In case you are opening the project on a computer that doesn’t have .Net framework 3.5 installed then select “ Retarget the project to .Net framework 4 “ and click OK.

    • Target Frame Work

  • Sometimes certain computers don’t have the latest version available. For such cases, in the “Website targeting older .Net Framework Found” dialog box, uncheck the check box if you don’t wish to upgrade all Websites or projects in a solution. Click Yes in this dialog box.

    • .NET frame work found

  • While converting a project in the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard click Close in the Conversion Complete Dialog Box.

    • Conversion Complete Dialog Box

  • When any project is not a local IIS project, then combine its IIS application with the Visual Studio when it is implemented to IIS. Suppose the IIS application is associated with .Net framework 2.0, the site will not work and as a result ASP.Net Framework will generate errors that show that the target Framework is unrecognized.
  • If the project is local IIS project, visual studio by default performs the association with the first available application in the apps pool for the .Net Framework 4. In case no application pool is available then it is created by Visual Studio.
  • With this process, we are sure that any .Net Developer will be easily be able to upgrade a normal .Net application to the latest .Net Framework version 4.0. Those who have good knowledge of upgrading applications can also do this on their own with this procedure.

Conclusion:

In case you wish to upgrade your web application in ASP.NET development framework or create the new one then you can stay in touch with .Net developers our Softqube Technologies who can guide you at each and every step.

Brief Overview of .NET Framework

Posted on by Nitin Suvagiya

Various software development platforms are available in the market. Softwares are the need of today. .NET is one of the software framework developed by Microsoft in 1990s. The first beta version of .NET framework was developed in the year 2000.

Programmes written for .NET framework are executed in a software environment known as Common Language Run Time which provides services such as memory, security management and exception control. Moreover, it includes a huge class library known as Framework Class Library that provides user interface, database connectivity, data access, web application development and numeral algorithms and network communications.

Software is developed by programmers by integrating some of its own source code with the already code in .NET framework. This framework is intended to be used by many new applications developed for Windows Platform. Microsoft also provides an integrated development environment especially for .NET software and it is known as Visual Studio.

  • Common Language Runtime Engine: This serves as the delivery engine of.NET framework. Such programmes are executed under the guidance of CLR. This ensures certain properties and behaviours in the field of memory management, security and exception control.
  • Language Freedom: This software framework has a special common type system that defines all data types and programming that are supported by CLR and their interaction with other applications. This feature supports interchange of types and object instances among various applications constructed using any .NET Language.
  • Framework Class Library: This feature consists of various functionalities useful for all languages that use .NET Framework and it provides classes that cover various normal functions such as reading & writing any file, database interaction, XML document manipulation and much more.
  • Security: .NET Framework design focuses on some vulnerability like buffer overflows that have been used by malicious software. This framework provides a common security model for all applications.

Wrap Up:
