PREFACE
Necessity is Mother of All Inventions
Project training is an important part of the MCA curriculum. The MCA course project training helps a student in getting acquainted with the manner in which his/her knowledge is being practically used outside his/her institute and this is normally different from what he/she has learnt from books. Hence, when the student switches from the process of learning to that of implementing his/her knowledge, he/she finds an abrupt change. This is exactly why project training session during the MCA curriculum becomes all the more important. Project training is prescribed for the student of Technical College as a part of the three-year degree course of MCA by MDU. We are required to undergo project training for a period of 180 days after the completion of the Vth Semester. This training report describes in detail the training after the Vth Semester, which I completed at the KnowledgePoint InfoTech. Pvt. Ltd., Jaipur. This report also gives the information about the organization and its working along with the project undertaken in the training period.

The fundamental step used in SDLC process is based on the ISO 9001 guidelines. My aim was to follow the ISO guidelines and develop a perfect system.

The system development was organized into 5 major parts: Requirement Gathering Documentation/Design Development Coding Testing

6. About Technology

The .NET Programming Framework

1. Introduction
The .NET framework is a cluster of different technologies. It includes: The .NET languages, which include C# and Visual Basic .NET, the object-oriented and modernized successor to Visual Basic 6.0. The Common Language Runtime (CLR), the .NET runtime engine that executes all .NET programs, and provides modern services such as automatic memory management, security, optimization, and garbage collection etc. The .NET class library, which collects thousands of pieces of pre-built functionality that you can snap in to your applications. These are sometimes organized into technology sets, such as ADO.NET (the technology for creating database applications) and Windows Forms (the technology for creating desktop user interfaces). ASP.NET, the platform services that allow you to program web applications and Web Services in any .NET language, with almost any feature from the .NET class library. Visual Studio .NET, an optional development tool that contains a rich set of productivity and debugging features. The division between these components is not sharp.

18

2. VB .NET, C#, and the .NET Languages

In fact, all the .NET languages are compiled to the same intermediate language, which is known as MSIL, or just IL. The CLR only runs IL code, which is the reason why the C# and VB .NET

3. The Common Language Runtime

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the engine that supports all the .NET languages. Most modern languages use runtimes, these runtimes may provide libraries used by the language, or they may have the additional responsibility of executing the code (as with Java). Runtimes are nothing new, but the CLR represents a radical departure from Microsofts previous strategy. To start, the CLR and .NET framework are much larger and more ambitious. The CLR 20

also provides a whole set of related services such as code verification, optimization, and garbage collection, and can run the code from any .NET language. Central to the .NET Framework is its runtime execution environment, known as the Common Language Runtime (CLR) or the .NET runtime. Code running under the control of the CLR is often termed managed code.

However, before it can be executed by the CLR, any source code that you develop (in C# or some other language) needs to be compiled. Compilation occurs in two steps in .NET:

1. 2.

Compilation of source code to IL Compilation of IL to platform-specific code by the CLR

This two-stage compilation process is very important, because the existence of the IL (managed code) is the key to providing many of the benefits of .NET.

4. Features of DotNet
Simple

Dot Net framework supports a very user friendly IDE Visual Studio which makes dotnet very simple. Visual Studio supports a rich set of design tools, including a well known set of

debugging tools and IntelliSense, which catches errors and offers suggestions as you type. It also supports the robust code-behind model, which separates the .NET code you write from the web-page markup tags.

Platform independence
First, it means that the same file containing IL code instructions can be placed on any platform; at run-time the final stage of compilation can then be easily accomplished so that the code will run on that particular platform. In other words, by compiling to IL you obtain platform

independence for .NET, in much the same way as compiling to Java byte code gives Java platform independence.

21

Performance improvement
Although we previously made comparisons with Java, IL is actually a bit more ambitious than Java byte code. IL is always Just-In-Time compiled (known as JIT compilation), whereas Java byte code was often interpreted.

Instead of compiling the entire application in one go (which could lead to a slow start-up time), the JIT compiler simply compiles each portion of code as it is called (just-in-time). When code has been compiled once, the resultant native executable is stored until the application exits, so that it does not need to be recompiled the next time that portion of code is run.

Language interoperability
The use of IL not only enables platform independence; it also facilitates language interoperability. Simply put, you can compile to IL from one language, and this compiled code should then be interoperable with code that has been compiled to IL from another language. Common Type System This data type problem is solved in .NET through the use of the Common Type System (CTS). The CTS defines the predefined data types that are available in IL, so that all languages that target the .NET Framework will produce compiled code that is ultimately based on these types. The CTS doesnt merely specify primitive data types but a rich hierarchy of types, which includes well-defined points in the hierarchy at which code is permitted to define its own types. The hierarchical structure of the Common Type System reflects the single-inheritance objectoriented methodology of IL.

Common Language Specification

The Common Language Specification (CLS) works with the CTS to ensure language interoperability. The CLS is a set of minimum standards that all compilers targeting .NET must support. Because IL is a very rich language, writers of most compilers will prefer to restrict the 22

capabilities of a given compiler to only support a subset of the facilities offered by IL and the CTS. That is fine, as long as the compiler supports everything that is defined in the CLS. CLS works in two ways. First, it means that individual compilers do not have to be powerful enough to support the full features of .NET this should encourage the development of compilers for other programming languages that target .NET. Second, it provides a guarantee that, if you restrict your classes to exposing only CLS-compliant features, code written in any other compliant language can use your classes.

Garbage collection
The .NET runtime relies on the garbage collector instead. This is a program whose purpose is to clean up memory. The idea is that all dynamically requested memory is allocated on the heap (that is true for all languages, although in the case of .NET, the CLR maintains its own managed heap for .NET applications to use). Every so often, when .NET detects that the managed heap for a given process is becoming full and therefore needs tidying up, it calls the garbage collector. The garbage collector runs through variables currently in scope in your code, examining references to objects stored on the heap to identify which ones are accessible from your code that is to say which objects have references that refer to them. Any objects that are not referred to are deemed to be no longer accessible from your code and can therefore be removed. Java uses a system of garbage collection similar to this. One important aspect of garbage collection is that it is not deterministic. In other words, you cannot guarantee when the garbage collector will be called; it will be called when the CLR decides that it is needed (unless you explicitly call the collector), through it is also possible to override this process and call up the garbage collector in your code.

Security
.NET can really excel in terms of complementing the security mechanisms provided by Windows because it can offer code-based security, whereas Windows only really offers role-based security.

23

Role-based security is based on the identity of the account under which the process is running (that is, who owns and is running the process). Code-based security on the other hand is based on what the code actually does and on how much the code is trusted. Thanks to the strong type safety of IL, the CLR is able to inspect code before running it in order to determine required security permissions. .NET also offers a mechanism by which code can indicate in advance what security permissions it will require to run.

The importance of code-based security is that it reduces the risks associated with running code of dubious origin. For example, even if code is running under the administrator account, it is possible to use code-based security to indicate that that code should still not be permitted to perform certain types of operation that the administrator account would normally be allowed to do, such as read or write to environment variables, read or write to the registry, or access the .NET reflection features.

Multi-Threaded

.Net was designed to meet the real-world requirement of creating interactive, networked programs. .Net provides support for writing multi-threaded programs to achieve this. This allows the programmer to write programs that can do many things concurrently. For example a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based application might be listening to user events and taking appropriate action, a separate thread might be doing printing and a separate thread might be downloading a file from some machine across the network, all of this being done concurrently. This results in better performance and better CPU utilization.

It is possible to write multi-threaded programs in other languages also but it is achieved only by making use of System calls while in case of .Net languages like C#, it can be achieved by using features of the language itself.

Rich API (Application Programmers Interface) / Namespaces

24

.Net API is very rich as compared to other languages. Robust Most programs fail for one of the two reasons: (i) (ii) Memory Management Exceptional conditions at run time

While designing the language one of the aim was to ensure that .Net programs are as robust as possible i.e. they should rarely fail. So due importance was given to the above two factors in the .Net. In .Net memory allocation and de-allocation is handled in the language itself, which eliminates many problems caused due to dynamic memory management features in C/C++. C# like languages also supports object-oriented exceptional handling features to handle exceptional conditions, which occur at run-time. This allows a C# program to recover and continue execution even after an exceptional condition occurs. Better support for Dynamic Web Pages .Net offers an integrated support for web pages, using a new technology ASP.NET. With ASP.Net, code in your page is compiled, and may be written in a any of the .Net languages like C#, J# or VB.Net

Efficient Data Access

A set of .Net components, collectively known as ADO.NET provides efficient access to relational databases and variety of data sources. Components are also available to allow access to the file system and to directories.

Object-Oriented C# is based on object-oriented paradigm. Object-oriented programs are organized around data (i.e. objects) and a set of well-defined interfaces (public methods) to that data.

25

Introduction to Web Applications in DotNet 1. Introduction

Web applications run on the Web Server. Web applications are accessed through web clients i.e. web browsers like Internet Explorer or Netscape. Whenever you access some web site by specifying the URL (Universal Resource Locator), you are accessing some web application. The main components of a web application written in .net are:

ASP.Net (aspx files) HTML

ASP.Net (aspx file) are also .net programs, which run on the Server and then send the result/response to the client. aspx pages can be thought of as a combination of HTML and C# or VB.net or any .net compatible language code.

You access the web application by specifying the URL. If the URL corresponds to an HTML page the web server simply returns the HTML page to the client, which then displays it. If the URL corresponds to the aspx, then it is executed on the Server and the result/response is returned to the client, which is then displayed by the client.

A web application is nothing but a web-site. A web application can be thought of as a collection of two types of resources:

Static Resourcs Dynamic Resources

Web applications are deployed on the web servers (web-containers) and are normally accessed through the Web Clients, which is normally a web browser. The communication between web client and web server takes place through HTTP protocol. 26

2. Static Resources

These are normally non-executable resources. In some cases static resources may also be the executable resources but they do not execute on the server. A typical web application might have following types of static resources: HTML Images, Audio and Video files Documents Spreadsheets Text files

A web client can ask for any static resource by just specifying the URL. Web server simply returns the specified resource to the client without doing any processing. The client decides what to do with the static resource. The most common static resource is the HTML page. The web browser parses the HTML page and displays in the browser window. For other type of static resources the action taken may differ from browser to browser. The browser either displays the contents of the resource on its own or with the help of software corresponding to the static resource. For example, Internet Explorer may open a .doc file using MS-Word software. The browser prompts for saving the contents in case it is not able to display/process the contents.

3. Dynamic Resources
These are executable resources. A web application can have aspx files of dynamic resources. The dynamic resources are also accessed by directly or indirectly specifying the URL. But the action taken by web server is different in case of dynamic resources. The dynamic resources are .net programs. The server executes the appropriate component and then returns the result to the client normally as HTML using HTTP protocol.

4. Web Client (Thin Client)

27

In web client based architectures, the user interaction layer is separated from the traditional client layer. Web browser manages the user interaction but leaves the rest to applications on the server side, including the logic for driving the user interface, interacting with components in the middle-tier, and accessing databases.

Features of Web Clients

A browser or a similar application to manage user interaction. For an end-user this is the client layer. HTML is normally used as the means of user interface definition. HTTP(s) is used as the information exchange protocol between the Web-Clients and Web Applications. The Web Application programs on the web server side execute the application logic on behalf of browser Clients.

5. The HTTP Protocol

The HTTP is an application level protocol (generally implemented over TCP/IP Connection). The HTTP is a stateless protocol based on requests & responses. In this paradigm, client application (such as your web browser) sends request to the server (such as the web server of an online store) to receive info (such as downloading a catalog) or to initiate specific processing on the server (such as placing an order).

HTTP Request Methods

As an application-level protocol, HTTP defines the types of request that clients can send to servers and the types of response that servers can send to clients.

The Get Request Method The Post Request Method

28

The Get Request Method

The Get Request is the simplest & most frequently used request method for accessing static resources such as HTML documents, image etc. The GET method is used when the resource is accessed by specifying the URL in the web browser or by clicking on a hyperlink. Get request can also be used to retrieve dynamic information by using additional query parameters in the request URL of a dynamic resource.

http://www.domain.com?name=anshu

The data is transmitted as the part of URL if GET method is used.

Sometimes we employ GET method even when accepting data from the client using the form. In this case any data provided in the form is appended to the URL as query parameters before sending to the server.

The Post Request Method

Post requests are used when we need to send large amount of complex information to the server. The Post request allows the encapsulation of multi-part message into the request body. For example, you can use post request to upload text & binary files.

Normally we send data using Post method through form by specifying POST as the method.

The data is transmitted as part of the body. So it is possible to send the large amount of data when using Post request.

The Differences between Get & Post Requests

29

With get request, the request parameters are transmitted as a query string appended to the request URL. In the case of post request, the request parameters are transmitted within the body of the request.

This has two ramifications: Firstly since a Get request contains the complete request info appended to the URL itself, it allows browser to bookmark the page & revisit later. Depending on the type & how sensitive the request parameters are this may or may not be desirable. Secondly some servers might pose restrictions on the length of request URL. This limits the amount of info that can be appended to the request URL.

30

Key Feature of HTTP

HTTP is a very simple and lightweight protocol. In this protocol, the clients always initiate requests. The Server can never make a Callback Connection to the Client. The HTTP requires the clients to establish connections prior to each request and the servers to close the connection after sending the response. This guarantees that the client cannot hold on to a connection after receiving the response. Either the client or the server can prematurely terminate the connection.

6. The Requirements for Developing & Hosting Web Applications

The following are the most essential requirements for developing and hosting web applications:

(i)

A Programming Model and an API - for development of applications.

(ii) Server-side Runtime Support - This includes support for network services and a runtime for executing the applications. (iii) Deployment Support Deployment is the process of installing the application on the server. Deployment could also include customizing the application.

For building and running web applications, the .NET provides the following to meet each of the above requirements:

(i) ASPX Pages These are the building blocks for developing web Applications in .NET. ASPX pages can be developed using any dot net compatible language.

(ii) Web development Server for Hosting Web Applications

31

IIS is providing .NET runtime for providing all the facilities for writing web applications in .NET. The IIS is responsible for initializing, invoking and managing the life cycle of ASPX files (iii) Packaging Structure & Deployment Descriptor The .NET specification defines a packaging structure for web applications. The specification also defines a deployment descriptor for each web application. The deployment descriptor is an XML file that lets you customize the web application at deployment time.

7. ASP.NET Applications
ASP.NET applications are divided into multiple web pages. This division means that a user can often enter an ASP.NET application at several different points, and follow a link out of your application to another part of your web site or another web server.

The standard definition of an ASP.NET application describes it as a combination of files, pages, handlers, modules, and executable code that can be invoked from a virtual directory on a web server. In other words, the virtual directory is the basic grouping structure that delimits an application.

Figure ASP.NET applications

Web Servers and You Web servers run special software (namely, the built-in Internet Information Services, or IIS) to support mail exchange, FTP and HTTP access, and everything else clients expect in order to access web content.

IIS receives a request for a file. It then looks at the file extension, and uses that to determine if the file should be allowed, and what program (if any) is required to handle it. Ordinary HTML files will be sent directly to your browser. ASP files, however, will be processed by the ASP service (which IIS starts and invokes automatically). The ASP service creates an HTML stream with the final result of its processing, and IIS sends this file to the client.

Figure How IIS handles an ASP file request

So in order to test that IIS is working correctly, you need to request the localstart.asp file through IIS. To do this, open an Internet browser, and type a request for the file using the name of your computer. For example, if your computer name is tnsharma, you would type http://tnsharma/localstart.asp or http://localhost/localstart.asp. IIS will receive your request, ASP will process the file, and youll receive a generic introductory page in your Browser.

Role of user information module: In many web applications there is a need for keeping track of the individual users of the application. This might be necessary with applications where the users created by administrator. User Information involves checking who a valid user is and provide security during his session accordingly, during which he can update his information like changing his password. A logout mechanism is also provided to destroy the user session as a security measure. The User Information Module generally divides into submodules as follows: 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 User Authentication Module. User Creation Module User Status and Password editing module. User Drop Module.

1.1 User Authentication Module

Current Web Technology has the inherent problem that there is no notion of a User Session when someone is accessing a Intranet or Internet software: By default, the Web Server Software does not systematically register which users are accessing what pages, or in what sequence. It simply handles a sequence of seemingly unrelated requests. In some web applications, the lack of User Sessions is not a problem, simply because there is no need to restrict access to certain areas, to personalize the viewed pages, or to log specific user actions. The User entity describes the User data implemented by the User Management module. The User entity defines the following fields during his login session on the ACMS[RIPA]. UserId Describes the identification of a user in the system. This field is entered when a user logs onto the application. Password Describes the password for the user. The password is saved in the database. User Status describes the status of the web user. If the user logs out off his session, he

35

becomes inactive and would never be able to see his account unless he enters his userid and password again. Only administrator created users are allowed to use the application.
