Building Effective Web
Applications with ASP .Net 3.5


                 ASIM SHAHZAD
Overview of Data Access
          (Chapter 8)
• 99.99% of apps involve some type of data
• We can use data bound controls to
  generate our web application’s UI
• SQL Server Express is a royalty free
  database included with VS2008 or Visual
  Web Developer.
Types of Data bound Controls
             p337
• Lists
• Tabular
• Hierarchical
Bind Controls to a DataSource
                p350
•   SQLDataSource
•   LinqDataSource
•   AccessDataSource
•   ObjectDataSource
•   XmlDataSource
•   SiteMapDataSource
Data Driven App Demos
• Code From Chapter 8
1.Add/Configure a SQLDataSource
2.List Controls
3.Tabular
4.Hierarchical Data
  This demo uses an xml file as a data
  source.
5.CRUD Sample – Employee Directory
Break
• We will look discuss LINQ after break
What is LINQ?
• LINQ stands for Language Integrated
  Query
• A general purpose query facility to
  query relational data, XML data,
  objects/collections.
• New in .Net Framework 3.5 – must
  target .Net Framework 3.5
• Based on standard query operators
• LINQ query syntax resembles
  backwards SQL statements

                                         <author/>
                                         <year/>
                                         <price/>

Benefits of Using LINQ
• May not need to build an entire DAL
  (data access layer)
• Much easier to query XML – don’t
  have to use Xpath
• Work with data in a consistent way –
  whether it is SQL Server data, XML
  data, ADO .Net dataset, an object
  collection, or data in memory
• Offers compile time checking,
  autocompletion, and Intellisense
New C# Language Features
     that Support LINQ p902
•   Automatic properties
•   Initializers
•   Type Inference
•   Anonymous types
Three Parts of a LINQ Query
• Obtain the data source
• Create the query
• Execute the query
What’s a DataContext?
• The DataContext is the source of all
  entities mapped over a database
  connection
• It tracks changes that you made to all
  retrieved entities and maintains an
  "identity cache" that guarantees that
  entities retrieved more than one time are
  represented by using the same object
  instance.
LINQ Demos from MSDN
       Library Help Files
• How to: Query an ArrayList with LINQ
• LINQ to XML vs. DOM
• Paste as XML C# Addin
C# Building the Paste Xelement
         as XML Addin

Creating LINQ to SQL Entities
• Building Entities with the Object Relational
  Designer p922
• Using the LINQDataSource control
  p926
Other MVC Resources
• MSDN Virtual Lab on Introduction to
  .Net MVC
• Discussion of .Net MVC can be found
  on www.asp.net/mvc/
• Book - Design Patterns by Gamma,
  Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides
Other LINQ resources
• www.thinqlinq.com
• Book – LINQ in Action
• Msdn.microsoft.com articles on LINQ
Optional Take Home Class
           Exercise
• Do any one of the following:
1.MSDN Virtual Lab “Using LINQ to SQL
  with the .Net Framework 3.5 and Visual
  Studio 2008” Event ID: 1032376015
      (msevents.microsoft.com)
2. Download lab manual from #1, install
  Northwind database and do lab on your
  pc.
3.Do VS2008 Training Kit Lab “LinqToSql”
