ViewState and Postback

Introduction

The aim of this article is to clarify the question that many new Web developers might have about ViewState.

Why do some Web controls like Textbox retain values even after disabling the ViewState while others do not?

Background

Let’s build a simple Web application to examine how ViewState works.

Create a blank Web project and paste the code given below in the page:

Very fast test data generation using exponential INSERT

Image
Introduction This article (my first) will describe an algorithm that enables a large amount of data to be generated very quickly using a SQL query. The test data can be static or incremental, such as “Item Name” and “Item ID”, respectively, as shown below: Background One of the tasks I did in a project involves generating a testing table with 103,680,000 records. The conventional method of data generation would take a month; hence, a fast method of data insertion was required. The new method took only 5 hours. Using the code Conventional method – Sequential INSERT The conventional way of generating a list of numbers from 0…100000 would be using a loop and an INSERT statement as follows: CREATE TABLE #tempTable([Item ID] [ bigint ], [Item Name] nvarchar ( 30 )) DECLARE @counter int SET @counter = 1 WHILE (@counter 100000 ) BEGIN INSERT INTO #tempTable VALUES (@counter, ' Hammer' ) SET @counter = @counter + 1 END SELECT * FROM #tem...

MVC Architecture Model In ASP.NET

Image
When developing ASP.NET applications the need of reducing code duplication increases along with their complexity. This is because testing and performing changes become very difficult tasks when having many different sources of code with the same functionality. Model View Controller architecture (or pattern) allows us to separate different parts of our applications into tiers to fulfill this need. MVC Overview Model View Controller architecture aims to separate an application into three parts: Model:  It is the business logic of an application. From an object oriented perspective it would consist of a set of classes that implement the critical functionality of an application from a business point of view. View:  It can consist of every type of interface given to the user. In ASP.NET the view is the set of web pages presented by a web application. Controller:  This part of the architecture is the most difficult to explain, hence the most difficult to implement in ...
