Review: ASP.NET 1.X
ASP.NET 1.X
Introduced data controls
Introduced data binding concepts
Working with data in ASP.NET 1.X
Easy and simple
Too much code still required though
ASP.NET 2.0
Specifically addresses common scenarios
Makes working with data even easier
Agenda
Safer connection string storage
Data binding gets easier
Declarative data binding
Working with the new data controls
Caching data
Connection String Storage
Persistence and declarative referencing
Stored in *.config
Avoid hard-coding within pages/code
Can be optionally encrypted
Built-in design time support
Promote use for best practices
Enable optional encrypting of values in config
Admin Support
MMC Admin Tool Support
Configuration API Support
Config Connection Strings
Web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="pubs“ ProviderName=“…”
connectionString=“…” />
</connectionStrings>
Page.aspx:
<asp:SqlDataSource Id=“MySource”
ConnectionString=“<%$ connectionStrings:pubs %>”
SelectCommand=“select au_id from authors”
runat=“server”/>
Code.vb:
Dim connstr As String =
ConfigurationSettings.ConnectionStrings(“pubs”)
Connection Strings
Data Binding Gets Easier
Expressions are cleaner
Support hierarchical (XML) data binding
<!-- ASP.NET 1.x data binding expression -->
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem, "Price") %>
<!-- Equivalent ASP.NET 2.0 data binding expression -->
<%# Eval ("Price") %>
<!-- XML data binding -->
<%# XPath ("Price") %>
Declarative Data Binding
Controls bound at appropriate time
Wire-up done through properties
Page lifecycle knowledge not required

SqlDataSource
Data Source Capabilities
Common data operations get easier
Sorting and paging
Selecting, updating, inserting, deleting
Page developer
Sets properties to enable operations
Ex., UpdateCommand
“Smart” data-bound controls
Use these capabilities directly
Ex., <asp:GridView>, <asp:DetailsView>
Sorting, Paging, Updating
Data Source Paging
Previous demo does paging in UI layer
SqlDataSource returns all data rows
Performs paging by rendering subset of rows
Paging supported on data source interface
Select (int startRowIndex, int maxRows)
Requires user-defined procedure or custom code
Data-bound controls
Don’t need to page in the UI layer
Useful (and required) for large amounts of data
Updates, Inserts, Deletes
GridView
Extracts values from input controls
Keys from viewstate (DataKeyNames)
Dictionaries passed to data source operation
Update: Keys, Values, OldValues
Delete: Keys, OldValues
Data source applies parameters to command
Relies on naming convention for parameters
Keys, OldValues formatted with “original_” prefix
OldValuesParameterFormatString defines prefix
Programmability
Data source events
Enable custom processing
Use event to:
Manipulate command and parameters
Cancel operations
Handle errors
Retrieve return values and output params
Rows affected
Data-bound controls expose similar events
Data Source Events
Page.aspx.vb
Sub MySource_Selecting(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs)
Dim cmd As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = e.Command
cmd.Parameters(“UserId”).Value = User.Identity.Name
End Sub
Page.aspx
<asp:SqlDataSource ID=“MySource” …
OnSelecting=“MySource_Selecting”
SelectCommand=“sp_GetUserPreferences”
runat=“server”/>
ObjectDataSource
Most applications encapsulate data logic
Best practice and simplifies maintenance
Embedding SQL code is not recommended
ObjectDataSource
Bind to custom business objects
Visual Studio data components
Parallels SqlDataSource in object model
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID=“MySource”
TypeName=“CustomersDB”
SelectMethod=“GetCustomersByRegion”
UpdateMethod=“UpdateCustomer”
runat=“server”/>
ObjectDataSource
Web Page
<asp:ObjectDataSource
ID = ObjectDataSource1
TypeName = OrdersComponent
SelectMethod = GetOrders
UpdateMethod = UpdateOrder
DeleteMethod = DeleteOrder
DataSourceID = ObjectDataSource1
Returns IEnumerable of Orders
• Order.OrderID
• Order.OrderName
• Order.OrderDate
OrderItemsComponent
OrdersComponent
CompaniesComponent
Northwind
Database
ObjectDataSource
Select method can return
any Object
IEnumerable list
Collection or array
GetProducts() -> ProductCollection
GetProductsDataSet() -> DataSet
GetProduct (int productId) -> Product
ObjectDataSource
Update, Insert, Delete methods
Take individual fields or data item object
UpdateProduct (int id, String name, double price)
UpdateProduct (Product p)
// p.Name, p.Price, etc.
DeleteProduct (int id)
For automatic updates/inserts/deletes
Property or parameter names must match
selected fields for GridView/DetailsView
Key Properties
Name
Description
TypeName
Type name of data component
SelectMethod
Method called on data component to perform queries
InsertMethod
Method called on data component to perform inserts
UpdateMethod

SelectParameters
Specifies parameters for SelectMethod
InsertParameters
Specifies parameters for InsertMethod
UpdateParameters

Initialization and Clean-Up
Data operation methods
Can identify static methods
Can identify instance methods
If instance methods are used:
New class instance on each call
Must have public default constructor
ObjectCreated and ObjectDisposing
Events to initialize or clean-up
Using ObjectDataSource
What about DataSets?
“A middle tier data access layer for Web and client”
Works for both Web and client applications
Created from
DB schema
Dynamic SQL
Stored Procedures
Exposes methods to “Fill” and “Fetch”
Auto-generated Insert/Update/Delete
What about DataSets?
Supports partial classes for custom logic
Built in support for common tasks
Select, Update, Insert, Delete
Batch updates, Conflict resolution*
Works with Web services and remoting
DataTable can be standalone
(XmlSerializable, ReadXml)
Exposes “GetBy” for stateless calls
Can be used with custom base classes
GridView Control
Enhanced DataGrid control
Renders sets of records as HTML tables
Built-in sorting, paging, selecting,
updating, and deleting support
Supports rich assortment of field types,
including CheckBoxFields
Declared in <Columns> element
Highly customizable UI
GridView Example
<asp:SqlDataSource
ID="Employees"
RunAt="server"
SelectCommand="select lastname, .../>
<asp:GridView
DataSourceID="Employees"
Width="100%"
RunAt="server" />
Rendered GridView
GridView Field Types
Name
Description
BoundField
Renders columns of text from fields in data source
ButtonField

CheckBoxField
Renders Booleans as check boxes
CommandField
Renders controls for selecting and editing GridView data
HyperLinkField
Renders columns of hyperlinks
ImageField
Renders columns of images from URL text
TemplateField
Renders columns using HTML templates
Specifying Field Types
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="Employees" RunAt="server"
ConnectionString="server=localhost;database=northwind;..."
SelectCommand="select photo, lastname, firstname, title from
employees" />
<asp:GridView DataSourceID="Employees" Width="100%"

<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval ("firstname") + " " + Eval ("lastname") %>

</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Title" DataField="title" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Rendered Output

Renders individual records
Pair with GridView for master-detail views
Or use without GridView to display
individual records
Built-in paging, inserting, updating,
deleting
Uses same field types as GridView
Declared in <Fields> element
Highly customizable UI
DetailsView Example
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="Employees" RunAt="server"
ConnectionString="server=localhost;database=northwind;..."
SelectCommand="select employeeid, photo, ... from employees" />
<asp:DetailsView DataSourceID="Employees" RunAt="server"
