A Sample Chapter 5 from "Professional VB.NET 2nd Edition". Visual Basic has had powerful object-oriented capabilities since the introduction of version 4.0. VB.NET carries that tradition forward. VB.NET simplifies some of the syntax and greatly enhances these capabilities, and now supports the four major defining concepts required for a language to be fully object-oriented. This chapter will explore the creation and use of classes and objects in VB.NET.

The .NET framework provides the Dataset object which is designed to handle data abstractly independent of the data source. The DataSet can handle data from variety of sources like SQL, XML etc. In this article we'll show you how to bind a data grid control to data in an XML file using the DataSet class.

File uploading has always been a tedious task for the web developer community. Either we have to use a third party component or write several lines of code. With the advent of ASP.Net file uploading has become a lot easier, importantly without the need for third party components. All we have to do is to use the ASP.Net HTML File control and write a few lines of C# code.

The author writes "With ASP.NET you can configure the 'ASP.NET engine' to automatically restart itself when certain criteria are met. For example, if the Web server has 100 requests queued up, you may wish to have the Web server restarted, assuming that some script or DLL is hanging the Web server. Additionally, you can set requirements on restarting the Web server on the memory usage, the total number of requests, or by the total time the Web server's run. This proactive approach was implemented by the ASP.NET team in order to increase the overall uptime of a Web site running ASP.NET: if the memory suddenly shoots through the roof, the Web server can be restarted, reigning in the memory usage and starting anew. The information regarding the life cycle of the current (and past) ASP.NET processes can be examined through the use of the ProcessModelInfo class." This article examines how to retrieve and present such information.

This paper looks at some of the specific benefits you can achieve in migrating applications from ASP, and presents five distrinct strategies for a migration, based on its perceived strategic value and your desired timeframe for results. A scorecard with key questions about your migration allows you to quickly arrive at an initial estimate of a migration's complexity. Finally, it outlines the major activities involved in the four phases of a migration project.

ASP.Net's introduction of the web.config file went a long way to filling the configuration hole we had to deal with in classic ASP. We actually went from having very little (global.asa was the closest thing) to a well-structured, change on the fly XML file. For the most part, the web.config file does the trick fine. However there are some limitations and constraints with using it, which you are probably already aware of. What you might not know is how easy is it to surmount those issues by creating a far more flexible alternative.

Learn how to extend an ASP.NET control to hold an unlimited number of additional values in ViewState to avoid expensive re-querying of the database.

The control offers a very user friendly mobile device experience in that it allows the user to use their stylus / mouse to adjust the weight for a given decision criteria instead of typing the numbers.
