Discusses asp.net viewstate and page life cycle in depth

This article describes how to implement a web-chat with ASP.NET and Ajax. In the first part I introduce the technologies I used for the application. Then I explain the concept of a chat and in the last part I present the main implementations. The goal of this article is to show the interested reader how to develop a chat without browser-plugins or java-applets, just pure HTML and JavaScript.

Because multiple users can visit the same web page concurrently, it is possible for a user visiting a data modification page to inadvertently overwrite the modifications made by another user. Consider a page with an editable GridView. If two users visit this page simultaneously from different computers and both edit the same row, whomever saves the first will have her changes overwritten by whomever saves the row last. This type of behavior is known as "last write wins" and is the default behavior for web applications..

Google has provided a very reach Google Maps API to use it in our own application. But we need some short of javascript knowledge in order to use it. I don't know about others, but for me it was a little difficult to use javascript along with google apis in ASP.Net pages, specifically if you want to use server side functions to draw google map dynamically. For example, in my case I wanted to pull latitude longitude information from a SQL Server database and then use them to insert pushpins on google map. If you are familiar with Ajax framework, you know the answer. You will have to call asp.net server side function from javascript and use retrieved data to draw a google map. How simple is that? :). Atleast not for me. So I have decided to write a user control which can take care of javascript part and allows me to concentrate on serverside functions.

NArrange is a stand-alone, configurable .NET code beautification tool that automatically organizes code members and elements within .NET classes. It allows developers to easily sort class contents according to their style and layout conventions. NArrange works by parsing source code files into a document object model, arranging the elements then rewriting the arranged source code.

Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX Framework helps page developers design more interactive web pages by streamlining the postback mechanism. In traditional web pages, a full postback involves the browser re-requesting the page, which is then re-rendered. This re-rendered page markup is returned, in its entirety, to the browser for display. Ajax techniques improve the user's experience in two primary ways through the use of partial postbacks: first, a partial postback is asynchronous, meaning that the user can still interact with the page while waiting for the partial postback to complete; second, and more importantly, because a partial page postback updates only a particular region (or regions) of a page, less data needs to be shuttled between the client and the server, resulting in a quicker and smoother experience..

This article describes the life cycle of the page from the moment the URL is hit from the web browser till the HTML code is generated and sent to the web browser.
