Updating Only Changed Rows in the GridView Control

submitted by kayos 8 days, 10 hours ago

gridviewguy.com — Matt Berseth wrote a very interesting article on “Bulk Inserting Data Using the ListView Control". The idea is to give the user an Excel like interface where they can edit the rows with custom data and finally click the update button to persist the data in the database. Matt’s solution was great but lacks a very important detail. There was no way to know what rows were changed by the user. Matt took the road to update all the rows whether they were changed or not. In this article we are going to take a look at an alternative method of updating only the changed rows. read more...

URL rewriting in ASP.NET web applications

published 12 days, 6 hours ago, submitted by janko 12 days, 13 hours ago

jankoatwarpspeed.com — So, you hate such URLs Or you'll hate it after you realize how easy it is to make it nicer. Besides all, URL rewriting will improve your rankings on search engines. Search engines like Google will easily index your "static" URLs, instead of dynamic URLs. There are several ways to accomplish URL Rewriting. I'll explain how to do this by using HttpModule and how to overcome the postback bug that is the outcome of URL rewriting. Suppose you have a content management system that stores entire pages in the database. So you can have a Home page, and Home page can have sections Products and Services, and each one of these can have their own child pages or sections, and so on. So we want dynamic URL like this: Default.aspx?SectionID=5&ItemID=22 to look like /catalogue/furniture/chairs/chair5.aspx or whatever the business logic requirement is. In the example in this article I will not use a database in order to keep it simple, but you imagine there is a database that keeps the URL for each page. I'll use hard-coded Dictionary that will keep some sample pages. Note: You can download the full code in the attachment. First, we'll make a data access object that will search the database for requested url and return its dynamic url. These are the methods in SampleDAO that will simulate the database and getting the url from there: public string GetRealPath(string requestedUrl) { string path = ""; Dictionary<string, string> paths = GetPathsFromDatabase(); if (paths.ContainsKey(requestedUrl)) paths.TryGetValue(requestedUrl, out path); return path; } private static Dictionary<string, string> GetPathsFromDatabase() { Dictionary<string, string> paths = new Dictionary<string, string>(); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/FirstSection/Default.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=1"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/SecondSection/Default.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=2"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/FirstSection/Page1.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=1&Item=1"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/FirstSection/Page2.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=1&Item=2"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/SecondSection/Page1.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=2&Item=1"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/SecondSection/SubSection/AnotherOne/Page5.aspx".ToLower(), "/URLRewrite/Default.aspx?SectionID=2&Item=5"); paths.Add("/URLRewrite/Default.aspx".ToLo read more...
