SESSION TIMEOUT

As we knew that its a very big problem specially when developers provide a very large entry page to users. It will be Irritating for users after entering all data & then session timeout occur. To prevent or avoid session timeout problem, there is no fixed or specific or direct way to handle. But one can handle this problem using javascript asynchronous call. But one thing keep in mind that time to execute the javacript method must be less than your session timeout time. Otherwise the method will not work. So, carefully set the time aganist IIS or web.config file session time. The cross-browser javascript method is given below:

view source
print?
01 <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 
02 function Prevent_Session_Timeout() 
03 { 
04 var callerurl = "Prevent_Session.aspx"; 
05   
06 if (window.XMLHttpRequest) 
07 { 
08 xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest() 
09 } 
10 else 
11 { 
12 xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 
13 } 
14 xhttp.open("POST", callerurl, true); 
15 xhttp.send(""); 
16   
17 window.setTimeout("Prevent_Session_Timeout();", 60000); 
18 } 
19   
20 //Initial calling
21 Prevent_Session_Timeout(); 
22 </script>

Important Notes:
1. Just create an aspx page named Prevent_Session.aspx. Because this page will be internally called by the above javascript method without any reflection to user.
2. You must set the window.setTimeout time parameter which never exceed the session timeout time of your project.
3. Paste the code in your main master page so that you need not write the code for each aspx page.

Script Tested for the following browsers:
1. Internet Explorer (IE)
2. Mozilla Firefox
3. Opera
4. Google Chrome

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category. We fetch handful of products and the sub categories they belong to from the database. Our objective is to list all the available sub categories and allow user to  expand/collapse  to look/hide the list of products belonging to each subcategory. Database Connection Added following entry under  connectionStrings  element in  web.config . < add   name = "Sql"   connectionString="Data Source=(local); Initial  Catalog = AdventureWorks ...

ADO.NET Concepts With example

COMMAND OBJECT  Command object is the biggest object in ADO.NET  It is the only object which can perform actions with database  It  can be created directly using Command class or can be created using Connection.Create command (factory classes also contain creation of Command). Ex:  SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("......");    SqlCommand sqlCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();  Commands that we run depend upon the kind of query that we want to execute with database. All databases support two types of queries. i. Action Queries ii. Non-action Queries Action queries are those which change the state of database and which don‟t return any query results(though they return the number of records affected). Ex: Insert, Delete and Update statements Non-action queries are those which don‟t affect the database but return the results to the user. Ex: Select statement Method of execution of queries: Command object provides the following methods to execute queries: 1. Ex...
