Asp.net Calender Control with Events

Sometimes we need to add the event or appointment to our calender. We can simply do this with asp.net calender control.

I`ll Give you A Simple Example How You Can Do This..

______________________________________________________________________________________

I had made this Simple example how you can add your Task/Appointments in your calender control.

______________________________________________________________________________________

First you need to include asp.net calender control into your aspx file.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

<asp:calendar ID=”Calendar1″ runat=”server” Height=”900px”
ondayrender=”Calendar1_DayRender” WeekendDayStyle-BackColor=”Gray” ></asp:calendar>

______________________________________________________________________________________

Give the appropriate style according to your requirement .

Now,You Have To write this code in your .cs file

public class Schedule
{
public string date { get; set; }
public string Event { get; set; }
}
List<Schedule> schedule = new List<Schedule>();

//Adding some random values in Schedule list . You can use data from database too. Or you can use “Hashtable” Class Too.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Schedule sch = new Schedule();
sch.date = “1/29/2013″;
sch.Event = “Holiday”;
schedule.Add(sch);
Schedule sch1 = new Schedule();
sch1.date = “1/28/2013″;
sch1.Event = “Holiday “;
schedule.Add(sch1);
}

//Asp.net calender control Day render event.
protected void Calendar1_DayRender(object sender, DayRenderEventArgs e)
{
foreach (Schedule sch1 in schedule)
{
if (sch1.date == e.Day.Date.ToShortDateString())
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sch1.Event))
{
Literal lit = new Literal();
lit.Text = “<br />”;
lit.Mode = LiteralMode.Transform;
e.Cell.Controls.Add(lit);

Label lb = new Label();
lb.Text = sch1.Event.ToString();
lb.CssClass = “labelclass”;
e.Cell.Controls.Add(lb);
}
}
}
}

_______________________________________________________________________________________

If you are going to use Hashtable class then you can not add more than one event on one date. but with the help of this method you can use multiple events on a single date.

This Is Basic , Now You Can Modify This Code as You Want

Custom Date Format with Language using c#

Sometimes we require to change the format of date according to current culture. Those who are working on Multilingual websites must be facing this problem .

I`ll Give you A Simple Example How You Can Do This..

______________________________________________________________________________________

I had made this custom function you can use to Change the date format according to culture.

______________________________________________________________________________________

You Have To write this code in your .cs file

public static string GetDateString(string Date, string InputFormat, string OutputFormat, string Lang)
{
string fromformat = “MMMM dd, yyyy”; //Default value of input format
string toformat = “MM/dd/yyyy”;  //Default value of output format
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Lang);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(InputFormat))
fromformat = InputFormat;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(OutputFormat))
toformat = OutputFormat;
string newdate = System.DateTime.Now.Date.ToString(toformat);
try
{
newdate = System.DateTime.ParseExact(Date, fromformat, System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.DateTimeFormat).Date.ToString(toformat);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
return newdate;
}

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________

In this function you have to input 4 parameters. 

1. Your date.

2.Current format of date.

3. Desired format of date.

4. Language.

This will return the date in desired format.

This Is Basic , Now You Can Modify This Code as You Want

Read Rss feed in c#

In this Article I am going to explain how you can read rss xml file into c# . It is very easy , you just have to follow few steps to catch xml feed into your code .

Here i`ll show you how can catch the rss feed , then you can display it on your website as you want .

to implement it you need to understand the function i am writing below :-

public void TestFeed()
{
var NewsRSS = XDocument.Load(“http://dotnetgeekblog.wordpress.com/feed/&#8221;); // to load XML file in variable
var rssItemsList = from d in NewsRSS.Descendants(“item”)
select d;
int count = rssItemsList.Count(); //get the count of feed items
foreach (var rssItem in rssItemsList)
{
XElement pubdate = rssItem.Descendants(“pubDate”).FirstOrDefault(); //to get the published date of news
string publishDate = string.Empty;
if (pubdate != null)
{
publishDate = pubdate.Value;
DateTime time = DateTime.Now;
string dayofWeek = time.DayOfWeek.ToString();
string dayofmonth = time.Month.ToString();
string year = time.Year.ToString();
}
string title = rssItem.Descendants(“title”).FirstOrDefault() == null ? string.Empty : rssItem.Descendants(“title”).FirstOrDefault().Value; //to set values in variable
string link = rssItem.Descendants(“link”).FirstOrDefault() == null ? string.Empty : rssItem.Descendants(“link”).FirstOrDefault().Value;//to set values in variable
string description = rssItem.Descendants(“description”).FirstOrDefault() == null ? string.Empty : rssItem.Descendants(“description”).FirstOrDefault().Value;
string guid = rssItem.Descendants(“guid”).FirstOrDefault() == null ? string.Empty : rssItem.Descendants(“guid”).FirstOrDefault().Value;//to set values in variable
string summarry = string.Empty;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(description))
{
int length = description.Length;
if (length > 200)
summarry = description.Substring(0, 199) + “…”;
else
summarry = description;
}
}
}

 

This is just an example . Now You Can Play With It As you Want

Custom Captcha Image

In This Blog I`m going to discuss how we can make custom captcha image .. We can do this by simple coding only . I will tell you one simple method how we can make captcha image ..

We can do this in following steps. This time i have written all comments

Step 1 : Make a class CaptchaImage in you App_Code Folder . and write the following code in that class .

///

/// Summary description for CaptchaImage.
///

 

public class CaptchaImage
{
// Public properties (all read-only).
public string Text
{
get { return this.text; }
}
public Bitmap Image
{
get { return this.image; }
}
public int Width
{
get { return this.width; }
}
public int Height
{
get { return this.height; }
}

// Internal properties.
private string text;
private int width;
private int height;
private string familyName;
private Bitmap image;

// For generating random numbers.
private Random random = new Random();

// ====================================================================
// Initializes a new instance of the CaptchaImage class using the
// specified text, width and height.
// ====================================================================
public CaptchaImage(string s, int width, int height)
{
this.text = s;
this.SetDimensions(width, height);
this.GenerateImage();
}

// ====================================================================
// Initializes a new instance of the CaptchaImage class using the
// specified text, width, height and font family.
// ====================================================================
public CaptchaImage(string s, int width, int height, string familyName)
{
this.text = s;
this.SetDimensions(width, height);
this.SetFamilyName(familyName);
this.GenerateImage();
}

// ====================================================================
// This member overrides Object.Finalize.
// ====================================================================
~CaptchaImage()
{
Dispose(false);
}

// ====================================================================
// Releases all resources used by this object.
// ====================================================================
public void Dispose()
{
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
this.Dispose(true);
}

// ====================================================================
// Custom Dispose method to clean up unmanaged resources.
// ====================================================================
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
// Dispose of the bitmap.
this.image.Dispose();
}

// ====================================================================
// Sets the image width and height.
// ====================================================================
private void SetDimensions(int width, int height)
{
// Check the width and height.
if (width <= 0)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(“width”, width, “Argument out of range, must be greater than zero.”);
if (height <= 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(“height”, height, “Argument out of range, must be greater than zero.”); this.width = width; this.height = height; } // ==================================================================== // Sets the font used for the image text. // ==================================================================== private void SetFamilyName(string familyName) { // If the named font is not installed, default to a system font. try { Font font = new Font(this.familyName, 12F); this.familyName = familyName; font.Dispose(); } catch (Exception ex) { this.familyName = System.Drawing.FontFamily.GenericSerif.Name; } } // ==================================================================== // Creates the bitmap image. // ==================================================================== private void GenerateImage() { // Create a new 32-bit bitmap image. Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(this.width, this.height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb); // Create a graphics object for drawing. Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap); g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias; Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.width, this.height); // Fill in the background. HatchBrush hatchBrush = new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.SmallConfetti, Color.White, Color.White); g.FillRectangle(hatchBrush, rect); // Set up the text font. SizeF size; float fontSize = rect.Height + 1; Font font; // Adjust the font size until the text fits within the image. do { fontSize–; font = new Font(this.familyName, fontSize, FontStyle.Bold); size = g.MeasureString(this.text, font); } while (size.Width > rect.Width);

// Set up the text format.
StringFormat format = new StringFormat();
format.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
format.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

// Create a path using the text and warp it randomly.
GraphicsPath path = new GraphicsPath();
path.AddString(this.text, font.FontFamily, (int) font.Style, font.Size, rect, format);
float v = 4F;
PointF[] points =
{
new PointF(this.random.Next(rect.Width) / v, this.random.Next(rect.Height) / v),
new PointF(rect.Width – this.random.Next(rect.Width) / v, this.random.Next(rect.Height) / v),
new PointF(this.random.Next(rect.Width) / v, rect.Height – this.random.Next(rect.Height) / v),
new PointF(rect.Width – this.random.Next(rect.Width) / v, rect.Height – this.random.Next(rect.Height) / v)
};
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.Translate(0F, 0F);
path.Warp(points, rect, matrix, WarpMode.Perspective, 0F);

// Draw the text.
hatchBrush = new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.LargeConfetti, Color.Black, Color.Black);
g.FillPath(hatchBrush, path);

// Add some random noise.
int m = Math.Max(rect.Width, rect.Height);
for (int i = 0; i < (int) (rect.Width * rect.Height / 30F); i++)
{
int x = this.random.Next(rect.Width);
int y = this.random.Next(rect.Height);
int w = this.random.Next(m / 50);
int h = this.random.Next(m / 50);
g.FillEllipse(hatchBrush, x, y, w, h);
}

// Clean up.
font.Dispose();
hatchBrush.Dispose();
g.Dispose();

// Set the image.
this.image = bitmap;
}
}

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Step 2: Now Make One .aspx page and Name That Page JpegImage.aspx . Now paste the code into JpegImage.cs file.

private Random random = new Random();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] == null)
{
this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] = GenerateRandomCode();
}
// Create a CAPTCHA image using the text stored in the Session object.
CaptchaImage.CaptchaImage ci = new CaptchaImage.CaptchaImage(this.Session["CaptchaImageText"].ToString(), 125, 30, “Century Schoolbook”);

// Change the response headers to output a JPEG image.
this.Response.Clear();
this.Response.ContentType = “image/jpeg”;

// Write the image to the response stream in JPEG format.
ci.Image.Save(this.Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

// Dispose of the CAPTCHA image object.
ci.Dispose();
}
private string GenerateRandomCode()
{
string s = “”;
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
s = String.Concat(s, this.random.Next(10).ToString());
return s;
}

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Step 3 : Now add more web form named Captcha.aspx and add this code in Captcha.cs file

private Random random = new Random();
private string GenerateRandomCode()
{
string s = “”;
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
s = String.Concat(s, this.random.Next(10).ToString());
return s;
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
try
{
this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] = GenerateRandomCode(); //store generated code in session variable
captchaimage.ImageUrl = “JpegImage.aspx?code=” + System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); //set image url
CodeNumberTextBox.Text = “Enter Captcha Text Here”;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{ }

}
}
protected void imgRefresh_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] = GenerateRandomCode();//store generated code in session variable
captchaimage.ImageUrl = “JpegImage.aspx?code=” + System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();//set image url
CodeNumberTextBox.Text = “Enter Captcha Text Here”;
}
protected void btnMail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (CodeNumberTextBox.Text == “” || CodeNumberTextBox.Text == “Enter Captcha Text Here” || this.Session["CaptchaImageText"] == null || this.Session["CaptchaImageText"].ToString() != CodeNumberTextBox.Text)
{
//error message
return;
}
else
{
//your operation
}
}

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Step 4: Now add this code in Captcha.aspx Page ..

<asp:UpdatePanel ID=”updateCaptcha” runat=”server”>
<ContentTemplate>
<div class=”divcaptcha” id=”divcaptcha” runat=”server”>
<asp:Image ID=”captchaimage” runat=”server” /><asp:Button ID=”imgRefresh” runat=”server”
Height=”24px” Width=”24px” BackColor=”Transparent” BorderStyle=”None” Style=”cursor: pointer; background-image:url(‘refresh.gif’);”
OnClick=”imgRefresh_Click” />
<asp:TextBox ID=”CodeNumberTextBox” runat=”server” Text=”Enter Captcha Text Here”
onBlur=”if(this.value==”) this.value=’Enter Captcha Text Here’;” onFocus=”if(this.value==’Enter Captcha Text Here’) this.value=”;”></asp:TextBox>
<asp:LinkButton ID=”btnMail” runat=”server” Style=”text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;” OnClick=”btnMail_Click”>Submit</asp:LinkButton>
</div>

</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

string objects are immutable in C#

All string objects are immutable in C#. Objects of the class string, once created, can never represent any value other than the one they were constructed with. All operations that seem to “change” a string instead produce a new one. This is inefficient with memory, but extremely useful with regard to being able to trust that a string won’t change out form under you- because as long as you don’t change your reference, the string being referred to will never change.

A mutable object, by contrast, has data fields that can be altered. One or more of its methods will change the contents of the object, or it has a Property that, when written into, will change the value of the object.

If you have a mutable object- the most similar one to String is StringBuffer- then you have to make a copy of it if you want to be absolutely sure it won’t change out from under you. This is why mutable objects are dangerous to use as keys into any form of Dictionary or set- the objects themselves could change, and the data structure would have no way of knowing, leading to corrupt data that would, eventually, crash your program.

However, you can change its contents- so it’s much, much more memory efficient than making a complete copy because you wanted to change a single character, or something similar.

Generally, the right thing to do is use mutable objects while you’re creating something, and immutable objects once you’re done. This applies to objects that have immutable forms, of course; most of the collections don’t. It’s often useful to provide read-only forms of collections, though, which is the equivalent of immutable, when sending the internal state of your collection to other contexts- otherwise, something could take that return value, do something to it, and corrupt your data.

Step 3: Now Make 1 .aspx Page ,, Say Yahoo.aspx

Step 4 :Now In yahoo.aspx Page Write this simple code

<asp:Button ID=”Button1″ runat=”server” Text=”Connect to Yahoo!” OnClick=”Button1_Click” />
<asp:GridView ID=”grvMyFriends” runat=”server” AutoGenerateColumns=”true”>

</asp:GridView>

Step 5: Now In Yahoo.aspx.cs File Write This Code :

Postback of a ASP.net control using JavaScript ( using __doPostBack method)

Sometimes we require to invoke postback of a control but cannot set AutoPostBack property to true. In such case we can make use of __doPostBack method of Javascript. 

I`ll Give you A Simple Example How You Can Do This..

______________________________________________________________________________________

Include these 3 tags into your .aspx page.

<input type=”hidden” name =”__EVENTTARGET” value =”" />
<input type=”hidden” name =”__EVENTARGUMENT” value =”" />
<a id=”LButton3″ href=”javascript:__doPostBack(‘Button2′,’ ‘)”>LinkButton</a>

Here we have on anchor tag we want a server side event to fire on click of this link.

Now write this javascript function . Form1 is the id of your form.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
document.Form1.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
document.Form1.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
document.Form1.submit();
}
</script>

______________________________________________________________________________________

Now, Lets talk about Server Side operations . You Have To Write this code in your .cs file

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == “Button2″)
{
//fire event
Button2_Click(this, new EventArgs());
}
}

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write(“postback event fired”);
}

_______________________________________________________________________________________

this will fire your Button2_Click event..

This Is Basic , Now You Can Modify This Code as You Want
