How to use and configuration session in Asp.Net 5 and MVC 6

In ASP.NET 5, application state can be managed in a variety of ways, depending on when and how the state is to be retrieved.

Here we will be talking about session state configuration and uses.

Please download the sample application from below links.

https://github.com/kalpeshsatasiya/aspnet5session

In Asp.Net 5 for the session need to add session package that provides middleware for managing session state

For package installation, Just need to include reference of following packages in your project.json file.

"Microsoft.AspNet.Session": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
"Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory": "1.0.0-rc1-final"

Once the package is restored, Now time to configure session on startup.cs class page.

For session configuration first need to setup cache because of a session is built on top of IDistributedCache.

For Cache and Session configuration need to add following statements on ConfigureServices method.

services.AddCaching();
services.AddSession();

And one more statement needs to add on Configure method.

 app.UseSession();

Once a session is installed and configured, you refer to it via HttpContext and use the session.

 ///Set Session values
  HttpContext.Session.SetInt32("UserId", 1);
  HttpContext.Session.SetString("UserName", "Kalpesh");

  ///Get Session Values
  ViewBag.UserId = HttpContext.Session.GetInt32("UserId");
  ViewBag.UserName = HttpContext.Session.GetString("UserName");

You can use easy to get and set data on the session to primitive data type. Complex object not directly store on a session. The session will work with byte[] no object.

If you want to store object data into session then it will require serialize the object to a byte[] in order to store them.

Hope you help for understanding session state in asp.net 5 and keep reading.

SET NOCOUNT ON improve SQL Server store procedure performance

Whenever we write the store procedure to make sure SET NOCOUNT is always ON because when SET NOCOUNT OFF then each store procedure statement sending some message back to client and which is not require on all case.

SET NOCOUNT ON

If you require affect row count without SET NOCOUNT ON  then you just need to require add @@ROWCOUNT after statement of execution. So @@ROWCOUNT will return the result of affected record count.

UPDATE student SET Name= 'Kalpesh'
where studentid = 1



PRINT(@@ROWCOUNT)

When you working on Management Studio and require the message on output window then it will be good to SET NOCOUNT OFF because that we require for development purpose only.

SET NOCOUNT OFF

UPDATE student SET Name= 'Kalpesh'
where studentid = 1

 

When we create new store procedure from SQL Server management studio at time store procedure default template also set a SET NOCOUNT ON.

-- ================================================
-- Template generated from Template Explorer using:
-- Create Procedure (New Menu).SQL

What is Project.json file in Asp.Net 5

Today, I am going to cover bit explanation for project.json file.

This is the one of the most existing change has made by Microsoft in Asp.Net 5. Which is an introduction of project.json file.

Project.json file manage many configuration sections like dependencies, commands, dynamic frameworks, exclude, publishExclude and scripts executing at different events.

Let's check step by step by step.

Step 1. Open visual studio 2015 and create a new project from File -> New Project -> Select ASP.NET web application.

Step 2. Select Asp.Net 5 template and choose the web application.

Once solution is ready to work but you will try to found web.config file. but "Web.Config" gone now and that is the easiest way to manage configuration on asp.net 5

Step 3. You will check project.json file on root level and double click on it and see what inside it.

You will find the file is divided in various section like dependencies, commands etc..

{
  "userSecretsId": "aspnet5-EF7Migration-fceaa439-1593-4551-962c-4521fb028fd7",
  "version": "1.0.0-*",

  ],
  "scripts": {
    "prepublish": [ "npm install", "bower install", "gulp clean", "gulp min" ]
  }
}

- Dependencies
In dependencies section you can add project dependency and Nuget packages. That is easy to configure the dependencies.

- Commands
This section allows you to define commands for your project, which later on you can execute using dnx

- Frameworks
Asp.Net support mulitple frameworks and which will use dynamic framework based on housting.

- Exclude
This section indicate to that folder which will be not part of publicing website. It means those folder will be exculded from publising website.

- PublishExclude
This is very similar to exclude but publish exculde support folder and files both.

- Scripts
Script tag use for specific build automation script can excute before publishing the website. There is ain mention under"prepublish" and "postpublish".

Asp.Net 5 Database Migrations in EF7

Today, I am going to cover. How database migrations work in EF7 on the new platform of asp.net 5.

I have created a sample application with Product table. you can find the code from https://github.com/kalpeshsatasiya/EF7Migration

Let's start step by step

Step 1. Create a new project from visual studio 2015 and select asp.net 5 template.

Step 2. Once project created, Open a project.json file and check Entity Framework 7 dependency added or not. if dependency already added then you will see the following line under the "dependencies" tag. if not then add Entity Framework 7 using NuGet package.

"EntityFramework.Commands": "7.0.0-rc1-final"

Step 3. Once EF7 is on the place then move to appsettings.json file for the connection string. Update connection string as per your requirement.


Step 4. Now build the application and check solution is build successfully or not.

Step 5. Check Migration folder at the root level and expand it. you will see the migration script already created by the solution for default identity tables.

Now you need to require update database for that migration script. so you need to run the following command on package manager console.

Before executing any command. please check dnx command working or not.

dnx ef database update

Step 6. Till here we are just looking update the database but now let's check how to migrate the database (I meant how to add/remove fields from existing table)

Step 7. In our example, I have added a new table for the product so need to create migration script for product table.

Following commands need to execute for creating migrations script and update database for same.

dnx ef migrations add [migration name] 


dnx ef database update

How to use Object Mapper Mapster in Asp.Net 5 or MVC 6

Today, I am going to explain how to use Mapster in asp.net 5 or MVC 6 application. How to a configuration.

It's very simple and it hardly takes only 2 min to configure Mapster in Asp.Net 5 application.

Let's start step by step configuration.

1. Create new Web Application from visual studio 2015 using Asp.Net 5 template.

2. Once a solution is created and ready for work then install Mapster from NuGet package or Package Manger Console

 install-package Mapster 

3. Once Mapster installed. Open a startup.cs page from the root.



4. Add Mapster reference on Startup.cs page.

 Using Mapster 

5. Now Goto constructor of Startup.cs page and add Mapster configuration. Refer image for more detail.

 TypeAdapterConfig.GlobalSettings.Default.PreserveReference(true); 

6. Once done configuration on startup.cs page then you are ready to use Mapster for object mapping.

7. Let's see an example how to use Mapster after configuration.

8. Added following classes on solution.
     1. Under Models folder added Student.cs model
     2. Under Services folder added IStudentService.cs and StudentService.cs
     3. Under ViewModels folder added StudentViewModel.cs
     4. Under Controller folder added StudentController.cs


9. Very simple to use Mapster for object mapper. Just see in StudentController on Index method were student service call the GetAll method which returns all students data.

but before we move ahead I assume you know about Dependancy Injection in Asp.Net 5 which is inbuilt in the framework.

 public IEnumerable Index()
        {
            var students = _studentService.GetAll();
            return students.Adapt, IEnumerable>();
        } 

For more detail please refer screenshots.

Today, I am going to cover the latest and cutting edge technology related point.

That is an ASP.NET Core 1.0 (MVC 6) from Microsoft.

Here I am sharing my experience with you for MVC 6 application. We know in the previous version for MVC application, we have web.config file but in the newer version of MVC application, we don't have.

In MVC 6 configuration managed by.json file so when you create a new application for ASP.NET 5 (ASP.NET CORE 1.0) at the time you will see few .json file in solution explorer.

One of the JSON file names is appsettings.json which we can similar to web.config file from the previous version of the application.

So we can configure all setting under the appsettings.json file like connection string and custom settings.

More talking about AppSettings tag under the appsettings.json file where we can set custom key/value data which will be used later in the application.

Here we can see step by step configuration and how to read the AppSettings values.

1. How to set AppSettings in appsettings.json file.

Added few settings 1. WebSiteURL and 2.WebSiteTitle.

2. How to configure in Startup,cs file

Added service configuration under the ConfigurationService method as a display in the image.

3. Added model for AppSettings values. So before adding configuration on Startup page we require one model which has same property name declare's in AppSettings.

4. How to used in the controller with dependency inject.

Pass parameter IOptions settings in controller constructor for dependency injection.

Under the constructor, assign values to local variables and use in the controller actions. you can see in screenshots. we have assign value into ViewBag for WebSiteURL and WebSiteTitle and display on view.

HTML5 Range Slider - onchange v/s oninput events

The behaviour of the input event compared to the change event is not exactly the same in different browsers when applied to a range slider.

A common UI pattern for a range slider is to allow the user to move the slider and display the value of it somewhere on the page, changing the displayed value as the user moves the slider.

I think the expected behaviour in such a case is that the value should display instantly, as the user is moving the slider, rather than the page waiting for the slider to finish moving before the displayed value is updated.

I suppose there could be cases where you prefer a delay over instant results, but I think the expected behaviour is to display the results instantly.

I have share this below code for good experience with onchange event and display value in output tag of html5.
So let us see following code section by section.
1. JavaScript code section

 

var i = document.querySelector('input'),
    o = document.querySelector('output');

o.innerHTML = i.value;

i.addEventListener('change', function () {
  o.innerHTML = i.value;
}, false);

2. Html code section

3. Css code section

 
body {
  padding: 40px;
}

input {
  display: block;
  width: 200px;
  margin: auto;
}

output {
  text-align: center;
  display: block;
  padding-top: 15px;
}

HTML5 Range Slider - Range slider value not changed using keyboard arrow key

A range slider is to allow the user to move the slider using keyboard arrow key up,down..etc and change the value of it somewhere on the page based on key press, changing the displayed value as the user moves the slider using keyboard key.

I think the expected behaviour in such a case is that the value should display while you change the slider using key, as the user is moving the slider using key rather than the page waiting for the slider to finish moving before the displayed value is updated.

I have tried jquery key press event and check key code using JavaScript unfortunately I didn't found the any solution.

I think the expected behaviour is to display the results instantly while you press the key and change the slider.

The behaviour of the input event compared to the change event is not exactly the same when applied to a range slider.

Only solution for this issues is to use onkeydown event using JavaScript and you need to pass this.value in some function so it will take updated value of reange slider.

 
 function updateSlider(slideAmount) {
    var display = document.getElementById("chosen-spacing");
        display.innerHTML = slideAmount;
    }

Add more dynamic repeat block validation using Jquery validate

I already share demo of add more and remove feature of dynamic block of html using jQuery in previous post. Now how to apply validation for all dynamic fields using jQuery validate js

Step 1 : I have used previous blog HTML for jQuery validation of dynamic multiple fields.

You can see in my previous blog post and refer the html (step 1) for same.

Step 3: Add script files of jQuery and jQuery validate js for validation.

Step 2 : I have created  addValidationToSteps() function to validate all repeat fields of recipe preparation steps. Which I called  after page load and add another steps and remove steps.

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#totalSteps").val("1");
        addValidationToSteps();  
       });

    $("#addAnotherStep").click(function () {
 //Add repeat block logic 
        addValidationToSteps();
    });

Step 3 : Remove other block except  first block

$(document).on("click", "#removeStep", function () {
        $("#dialog").text('');
        $("#dialog").text('Are you sure to remove this step? This cannot be undone.');
        $("#dialog").dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 140,
            width: 400,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Ok": function () {
                   //add here remove dynamic block logic
  addValidationToSteps();

                    $(this).dialog("close");
                },
                "Cancel": function () {
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }
        });
    });

Step 4 : I want to display each field label as a message (i.e. "Please enter Step Name") instead of this field required default message of jQuery validation. Jquery validate give us rules functionality to add dynamic field html validation as presenting below example.

 
    function addValidationToSteps() {
        $(".recipeSteps input").each(function () {
            var labelMsg = "Please enter " + $(this).attr("placeholder") + ".";
            $(this).rules("add", {required: true, messages: {required: labelMsg}});

        });
        $(".recipeSteps textarea").each(function () {
            var labelMsg = "Please enter " + $(this).attr("placeholder") + ".";
            $(this).rules("add", {required: true, messages: {required: labelMsg}});
        });
        $(".temperature").rules("add", {number: true});
    }

Add More Dynamic Repeat Block using Jquery

Sharing demo of add more and remove feature of dynamic block of html using jQuery

First you need to create HTML which you want to repeat. Please make sure naming of elements should be unique which you are using. I was facing issues of naming which is taking same and block was not properly named. So I thought I will help to others for creating dynamic html add more and remove feature in simple way.

I am presenting demo for preparation steps for recipe. Recipes have multiple steps so this steps need to repeat based on your recipe. I have facing issues of repeat fields counter.

I am repeating preparation steps for recipe using jQuery as below

Step 1 : HTML for repeat preparation steps. I have taken one hidden fields for how many steps want to save database and for which next block name would be. (see in attachment block which I want to repeat)

 



                


Recipe Name: *


                        



Preparation Steps: *




STEP 1 







                                        


                                        




Add another step
                            



 

Step 3 : Add jQuery js and on page loading I have set value of totalSteps value as 1 when I click on add another step it will be increment by 1 and update the value in totalSteps hidden value. (see in attachment after adding repeat block in HTML)

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#totalSteps").val("1");
         });

    $("#addAnotherStep").click(function () {
        var addStep = parseInt($("#totalSteps").val()) + 1;
        $("#totalSteps").val(addStep)
        var appendStep = '


STEP ' + addStep;
        appendStep += '



';

        appendStep += '












';
        $("#allSteps").append(appendStep);
        for (var i = 2; i < addStep; i++)
        {
            $("#step_" + i + "_heading").children("#removeStep").remove();
        }
    });

Step 4 : Remove other block except first block

    $(document).on("click", "#removeStep", function () {
        $("#dialog").text('');
        $("#dialog").text('Are you sure to remove this step? This cannot be undone.');
        $("#dialog").dialog({
            resizable: false,
            height: 140,
            width: 400,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Ok": function () {
                    var removeStep = $("#totalSteps").val();
                    $("#" + removeStep).remove();
                    $("#totalSteps").val(parseInt(removeStep) - 1);
                    var lastStep = $("#totalSteps").val();
                    if (lastStep >= 2)
                    {
                        $("#step_" + lastStep + "_heading").prepend('


');
                    }
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                },
                "Cancel": function () {
                    $(this).dialog("close");
                }
            }
        });
    });
