2 way communication between embedded windows user control into Internet Explorer

Introduction

My original task it was: Create a .net wrapper class for an existent native C++ code and expose to web page as like in Active X but in .Net and set up an environment in what are able to communicate the web page with native code and vice-verso. This task isn't finished yet, but I have found a solution for intercommunication between client side web page an a .net user control. In this article I will show how to place an C# user control on the IE web page (client side) and the user control how can communicate with web page and back. In this way can be built rich client side application in .Net.

Background

In the IE can we embed the user control with tag. The user control will able to fire an event which will catch by javascript on the web page and the javascript can call user control code. To the user control need to grant privileges with caspol.exe. Instead to add full trust to user control I will give for the whole site(can be a security leak in some cases) because from the .net 2.0 there is no .net administrator and global assembly cache if the user don't want to download the platform SDK, jut the framwork.

Using the code

I have installed Visual studio 2008 with .Net framework 3.5, and without platform SDK, so I haven't gacutil.exe to add to cache my assembly.

Start the Visual Studio 2008 with C# installed and press File -> New Project. On the left side click on the C#, now on the right side select the WindowsFormsControlLibrary. I have renamed my WindowsFormsControlLibrary1 name to UserControl3 (to make a different name from other work), that change the default namespace from WindowsFormsControlLibrary1 to UserControl3 -nothing else. Now there are 2 samples on the web which is almost working:

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 ...
