This session is a brief on the pre page life cycle events(Just a quick route map), the Page life cycle events, how is Viewstate important to page life cycle events & Life without Viewstate.
The presentation deals with ASP.NET page life cycle and gives you a brief introduction of the events that are fired during each phaze of page processing.
there are many validation controls we find into ASP.NET. These controls also called server validation controls. by using those controls we can validate our web applications
some common properties also of these controls. they all are described into this presentation.
ASP.NET Web API is the de facto framework for building HTTP-based services in the .NET ecosystem. With its WCF and MVC lineage, Web API brings to the table better architecture, easier configuration, increased testability, and as always, it's customizable from top to bottom. But to properly use Web API it is not enough to get familiar with its architecture and API, you also need to really understand what HTTP is all about. HTTP is the most common application layer protocol in the world, and yet, not many web developers are familiar with HTTP concepts such as of chunking, caching, and persisted connections. In this full-day tutorial, we will focus on designing and implementing HTTP-based services with ASP.NET Web API, and you will learn how to better use it to implement the features provided by HTTP.
A supportive language is that which gives the optimal output. Asp.net provides that optimization by providing alternatives controls and one of the best is “Gridview”. We are more prior to Gridview rather than to tables as gridview makes our task easier. This book is a complete tutorial book of C# gridview where you can easily learn and play with gridview events and methods in a seamless manner.

Assemblies are the building blocks of .NET Framework ; they form the basic unit of deployment, reuse, version control, reuse, activation scoping and security permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources that are created to work together and form a functional and logical unit.
.NET assemblies are self-describing, i.e. information about an assembly is stored in the assembly itself. This information is called Metadata. .NET also allows you to put additional information in the metadata via Attributes. Attributes are used in many places within the .NET framework.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

De-mystifying Zero to One: Design Informed Techniques for Greenfield Innovati...
Custom controls
1.
2. A custom Web control is a control that inherits
from a WebServer control.
A custom Web control can be compiled into a
separate .dll file that can be shared among
applications.
It allows to define a better design-time
experience for the consumers of the control.
This includes Toolbox and designer functionality
3. There are two common approaches to creating a
custom Web server control.
The first approach is to create a Web server control that
inherits directly from WebControl Class. The Web-
Control class provides a base set of functionality.
This leaves a lot of work to develop the control.
The second approach is to inherit from an existing Web
control that already provides the core features of your
control.
This can give you a jump start and allow you to focus
on what makes your control different.
This is the more common scenario.
4. If the custom Web server control is targeted to multiple
Web sites, you should place the new custom Web
server control class into a class library project to create
a .dll file that can be shared.
If the custom Web server control is only meant for the
current Web site, you can add the custom Web server
control’s class file to the Web site.
5. For example, suppose you wish to create a custom version of the
TextBox control. This custom version will include text that labels
the given TextBox (such as “User Name” or “Password”).
You create this control by first inheriting from TextBox.
public class LabeledTextBox : TextBox
{
public string PromptText { get; set; }
public int PromptWidth { get; set; }
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.Write( @"<span style="”display:inline-
block;width:{0}px”">{1} </span>",
PromptWidth, PromptText);
base.Render(writer);
}
}
6. This approach is desirable when there is no
control that currently provides default
behavior similar to the control you wish to
implement.
When inheriting from the WebControl class,
you must override the Render method to
provide the desired output.
For example, suppose you wish to create a
custom control that allows a user to display a
logo and an associated company name for
the logo. For this, you might create two
properties: LogoUrl and CompanyName.
7. public class LogoControl : WebControl {
public LogoControl(){}
public string LogoUrl {
get { return _logoUrl; }
set { _logoUrl = value; } }
private string _logoUrl;
public string CompanyName {
get { return _companyName; }
set { _companyName = value; } }
private string _companyName;
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) {
writer.WriteFullBeginTag(“div”);
writer.Write(@"<img src=""{0}"" /><br />", LogoUrl);
writer.Write(CompanyName + "<br />");
writer.WriteEndTag(“div”);
}
}
8. The primary requirement to allow a custom Web
control to be added to the Toolbox is that the Web
control be placed into a separate .dll file.
You can set a reference to this .dll file to add the
.dll to the Bin folder of your project.
In this case, you can right-click the Toolbox and
select Choose Items. You can then browse to the
given user control’s .dll to add the controls that
are contained in the file to the Toolbox.
9. Notice that the controls are defined in their own
grouping at the top of the Toolbox.
When you drag a control to the page, the control
must be registered.
This markup is shown at the top of the page.
The bottom of the page shows the control
defined declaratively (including custom
properties).
10.
11. You can add your own custom icon through an
attribute called ToolboxBitmap of the System.Drawing
namespace.
This attribute specifies a bitmap that is 16 × 16 pixels in
size.
[ToolboxBitmap(typeof(LabeledTextBox),
“MyUserControls.LabeledTextBox.bmp”)]
public class LabeledTextBox : TextBox
12.
13. A default property is accessed without actually
specifying a property.
You set the default property for your control through
the DefaultProperty attribute class in the
System.ComponentModel namespace.
Apply this attribute at the class level.
Simply pass the name of one of your properties to this
attribute.
[DefaultProperty(“PromptText”)]
public class LabeledTextBox : TextBox
14. You can further change the way your custom
server control behaves when it is dropped onto
the Web page by setting the ToolboxDataAttribute
in your control class.
This attribute is used to change the markup that
gets generated by Visual Studio.
A common scenario is to set default values for
properties on the control inside the generated
markup.
15. You might wish to alter the default rendering of the control
in design mode.
To do so, you start by adding a reference to the
System.Design.dll assembly in your user control.
You then create a new class in your user control that
inherits from the ControlDesigner class. This class will
override the GetDesignTimeHtml method of the
ControlDesigner class to render separate design-time HTML
that can be set based on the property settings of the control
instance.
You then apply the Designer attribute to your control.
To this, you pass an instance of your ControlDesigner class.
16. [Designer(“MyUserControls.LabeledTextBoxDesigner, MyUserControls”)]
public class LabeledTextBoxDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
private LabeledTextBox _labeledTextBoxControl;
public override string GetDesignTimeHtml()
{
if (_labeledTextBoxControl.PromptText.Trim().Length == 0)
return "<div style='color: Gray'>[Define PromptText]</div>";
else
return base.GetDesignTimeHtml();
}
public override void Initialize(IComponent component)
{
_labeledTextBoxControl = (LabeledTextBox)component;
base.Initialize(component);
return;
}}
17. A composite control is a custom Web control that
contains other controls.
This sounds like a user control, but the composite
control doesn’t provide a designer screen for creating
the control, nor an .ascx file that lets you drag and
drop controls on it at design time.
Instead, you create a custom control that inherits
from the CompositeControl class. You then add
constituent controls to this control.
The composite control then handles events raised by
its child controls.
18. To create a composite control, you start by creating a
class that inherits from the CompositeControl class and
overrides the CreateChildControls method.
The CreateChildControls method contains the code to
instantiate the child controls and set their properties.
If you want to be able to assign styles to the composite
control, you should create an instance of the Panel class
to provide a container that can have attributes assigned
to it.
In this case, you add it to the Controls collection of your
composite control, and then add your controls to the
Panel control.
19. A templated custom Web control provides separation
of control data from its presentation.
This means that a templated control does not provide
a default UI.
For example, if you know that you need to display
product data, but you don’t know how the developer
who intends to use your control wants to format the
product data, you could create a templated control
that allows the page designer to supply the format for
the product data as a template.
