1. ASP.NET Dynamic Styles Response and Request Objects

2. Dynamic Styles DHTML is a browser phenomenon, using JavaScript to manipulate the properties and methods of HTML tags in response to user or browser events. Under ASP.NET these same style settings can take place, in this case through server scripts rather than browser scripts

3. Dynamic Styles function Format() { document.all.BROWSERButton.style.backgroundColor = "#FF0000“ document.all.BROWSERButton.style.fontFamily = "comic sans ms“ document.all.BROWSERButton.style.fontSize = "12pt“ document.all.BROWSERButton.style.width = "150px“ document.all.BROWSERButton.value = "Thank You" }

4. Built-in ASP Objects Response Object – Send text, data and cookies to the browser and control each stage of transmitting the page Server Object – Overall scripting control, set the timeout variable for the script Request Object – Read submitted form data, cookies and server variables

5. Built-in ASP Objects Session Object – Allows to attach data to a specific user browsing the site that is isolated and invisible to other users (user session is identifiable by the cookie that is sent every time a user makes a request) (stay active by default until 20 minutes after the user’s last request or until the session is explicitly abandoned through the code) Application Object – Allows to manipulate global data in the script that will be visible to all users browsing the site (ASP application itself)

6. RESPONSE OBJECT Gives control over what data and data types sent to the client in the headers of HTTP response Gives control over what data and data types sent to the client in the body of HTTP response Gives control over when and how data is sent

7. RESPONSE OBJECT- Properties/Methods Response.IsClientConnectedWhether a client browser is still connect to a Web page: True Response.Redirect("url")Immediately redirects to and loads a different Web page. Response.Write(content)Writes text or variables to a Web page: Response.Write("Text string"): Text string.

8. RESPONSE OBJECT – Write (ASP) Writes information directly to the HTTP response body. <% Response.Write “ ” Response.Write “Hello” Response.Write “ ” %>

9. RESPONSE OBJECT – Write (.NET) Response.Write() statements are placed throughout a script to trace the processing sequence and to write the contents of a variable. Sub ProcessThis (Src As Object, Args As EventArgs) Response.Write("Start of ProcessThis" & " ")...... Response.Write("End of ProcessThis" & " ") ProcessThat End Sub

10. RESPONSE OBJECT – Write (.NET) Sub ProcessThat Response.Write("Start of ProcessThat" & " ") Dim VarA = "Howdy"...... Response.Write("Value of VarA = " & VarA & " ") Response.Write("End of ProcessThat" & " ") End Sub

11. RESPONSE OBJECT – Write (.NET) Result: Start of ProcessThis End of ProcessThis Start of ProcessThat Value of VarA = Howdy End of ProcessThat

12. RESPONSE OBJECT - Redirect Redirects the client’s request to another URL. Response.Redirect “http://www.mis.boun.edu.tr” Response.Redirect “x.asp” x.asp resides in the same folder as the requested page If the script has written any content to the HTTP response body, that content is ignored by the script once the call to the Redirect method is executed.

13. Response.Redirect (ASP) xx

14. Response.Redirect (.NET) Sub GoBack (Src As Object, Args As EventArgs) Response.Redirect("aspnet02-06.aspx") End Sub

15. RESPONSE OBJECT - IsClientConnected The Response.IsClientConnected property is useful when you need to make sure that the visitor is still connected to your Web site. This issue arises when, say, you are conducting e- commerce with a customer. If you have just completed processing a set of transactions for a purchase being made, you might wish to check that the customer has not abandoned your site before finalizing those transactions.

16. RESPONSE OBJECT - Buffer Determines whether the content created by the script is delivered to the client browser as a whole or send immediately to the client browser as each line is created and entered into the HTML stream If set to TRUE, then all script on the page is run before the results of that script are sent to the client browser

17. RESPONSE OBJECT - Clear Empties the current contents of the Response buffer. It does so without sending any of the buffered response to the client.

18. RESPONSE OBJECT - End Ends all storage of information in the response buffer and sends the current contents of the buffer immediately to the client. Any code present after the call to the End method is not processed.

19. Response.Buffer/Clear/End <% Dim err err = 1 If Err <> 0 Then Response.Clear Response.Write "Error Created" Response.End End If %>

20. Example: Get System Time (ASP) Before Half After Half of Screen: After half of 9 Source: After Half of 9

21. Example: System Time <% when=now() twoweekslater=dateadd("w",2,when) monthlater=dateadd("m",1,when) sixminuteslater=dateadd("n",6,when) sixhourslater=dateadd("h",6,when) response.write "Now " & when & " " response.write "1 month from Now " & monthlater & " " response.write "2 weeks from Now " & twoweekslater & " " %> six minutes from now six hours from now

39. Get IP <% Dim strUserName strUserName=Request.ServerVariables ("REMOTE_ADDR") Response.Write strUserName %> merhaba

40. GET vs. POST GET can be used to retrieve any document, POST cannot GET and POST can be used to pass data to the object indicated by the URL When POST is used, the data is passed to the server in the body of the request message When GET is used, the data is included in the URL as argument string and needs to be parsed

41. REQUEST OBJECT- Form (POST) User enters input into the fields of a form When form is submitted, data in each field is transferred to the server, and then to ASP Data is sent in the format: name = value name (attribute of )

42. HTTP Request Header Create the form: Sample Order First Name: Last Name:

43. HTTP Request Header Title: <input name=“title” type=radio value=“mr”> Mr. Ms.

44. Response.asp * You should use the Form collection of the Request object to manipulate information <% title = request.form(“title”) lastname = request.form(“lname”) If title= “mr” Then %> Mr. Ms.

45. REQUEST OBJECT-TotalBytes TotalBytes property is a read-only value that specifies the total number of bytes posted to the web server by the client in the HTTP request body. Var = Request.TotalBytes

46. REQUEST OBJECT- Client Certificate Provides access to the certification fields of the client’s digital certificate. Client certificates are sent to the web server when a client’s browser supports the Secure Sockets Layer and that browser is connected to a web server running the SSL (https://). Request.ClientCertificate

47. REQUEST OBJECT- Client Certificate Subject: A list of comma-delimited strings that provide information about the owner of the digital certificate. Issuer: Information about the issuer. ValidFrom and ValidUntil: Validation dates SerialNumber: An ASCII representation Ex: 0A-B7-34-23 Certificate: A string value that contains the entire binary stream from the certificate content. Flags: Provide additional information such as presence of certificate.

48. REQUEST OBJECT- Client Certificate Request.ClientCertificate (“IssuerC”) Retrieve the country of origin for the Issuer. Request.ClientCertificate (“SubjectO”) Retrieve the organization of the Subject.

49. Session Tracking HTTP is a stateless protocol that does not support persistent connections that would enable Web servers to maintain state information regarding clients. A session ID represents a unique client on the Internet. If the client leaves a site and returns later, the client will still be recognized as the same user. To help the server distinguish among clients, each client must identify itself to the server. The tracking of each individual clients, known as session tracking, can be achieved in a number of ways.

50. Session Tracking Session tracking ways: 1. Use of input form elements of type hidden and sending them to the form handler on the Web server. 2. Use of HttpSessionState object 3. Cookies

51. Cookies Cookie: Small pieces of information stored by the web server on the web client’s machine. This information is sent to the server each time the client requested a page from the same area from which the information was received. A cookie is a text file.

52. Cookies Domain: Returns a String containing the cookie’s domain. This determines which web server can receive the cookie. Expires: Returns a DateTime object indicating when the browser can delete the cookie. Name: Returns a String containing the cookie’s name.

53. Cookies Path: Returns a String containing the URL prefix for the cookie. Secure: Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the cookie should be transmitted through a secure protocol. The value True causes a secure protocol to be used. Value: Returns a String containing the cookie’s value.

54. Cookies Send Cookie Response.Cookies("Cust").Name="BE" Response.Cookies("Cust").Expires=time.AddDays(10) Get Cookie Request.Cookies("Cust") Delete Cookie Response.Cookies("Cust").Expires = Date – 365 ' Deleted by setting expiration date to a past date

55. Session A user Session is created by ASP.NET whenever a visitor arrives at any Web page located in your root application directory. A Session Object maintains identification information about the visitor and allows ASP.NET to differentiate between visitors and their browsing status as they navigate the Web site.

56. SessionID Your visit to this site, for instance, can be identified by the SessionID value, Session.SessionID = "filyqavdzfnqrj45ofykaeel" SessionID value is a random number that was generated when you first arrived at the site. Session remains alive until 20 minutes after your last interaction with a page or until you close your browser. A revisit generates a new SessionID number.

57. Session Variable The Session Object also serves as a global storage area that scripts can use to maintain data values between pages. A Session variable is created by assigning a value to a name: Session("name") = "value"

58. HttpSessionState Properties Count: Specifies the numebr of key-vaue pairs in the Session object. IsNewSession: Indicates whether this is a new session. IsReadOnly: Indicates whether the Session object is read only. Keys: Returns an object containing the Session object’s keys.

59. HttpSessionState Properties SessionID: Returns the session’s unique ID. Session.SessionID Timeout: Specifies the maximum number of minutes during which a session can be inactive before the session expires. Session.Timeout Session.Add(“TR”,”2005”) Store in session as name-value pair

60. HttpSessionState Properties SessionID: Returns the session’s unique ID. Session. Timeout: Specifies the maximum number of minutes during which a session can be inactive before the session expires. Session.Timeout
