facade pattern

Facade pattern is one of the Structural Pattern.
Main purpose of the facade pattern is to encapsulate whole subsystem under one class or in simple words one class represents the whole subsystem.
Client only talks to the facade class and not to other classes which are inside the system.
This pattern make complex code very easy.



Following diagram shows how the facade pattern works.
Main class only talks to the facade class which in turns talks to other class in the subsystem.
Example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
facade fd = new facade();
fd.methodfacade();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
class subclass1
{
public void method1()
{
Console.WriteLine("Subclass1");
}
}

class subclass2
{
public void method2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Subclass2");
}
}

class subclass3
{
public void method3()
{
Console.WriteLine("Subclass3");
}
}

class facade
{
private subclass1 one = new subclass1();
private subclass2 two = new subclass2();
private subclass3 three = new subclass3();
public void methodfacade()
{
one.method1();
two.method2();
three.method3();
}
}
}

Using AutoCompleteExtender of ajax in asp.net or how to use autocomplete property of ajax toolkit ?

In this tutorial i will show how to use AutoCompleteExtender of Ajax tool kit in asp.net

Steps are as follows:

1. Add scriptmanger.
2. Add AutocompleteExtender.
   

     <asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server"
      TargetControlID="TextBox1" ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
        UseContextKey="True" MinimumPrefixLength="1">
       asp:AutoCompleteExtender>

this will have TargetControlID as id of textbox.
MinimumPrefixlength is length of the text in textbox after which autoCompleteExtender
start showing suggestions.

  3. Add one textbox.

     <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">asp:TextBox>

4. Now go to design mode & Click on Add AutoComplete Page Method.




5. After this you will see that some code is added to ur code behind file ,
 just replace it with this code
 (here i have bounded the colum from database for which i want suggestions ,
  you should change this with your database teble & column)
 (Here i have used Name Column of CountryRegion of Adventureworks Database )
[System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute(),
System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethodAttribute()]
public static string[] GetCompletionList
                           (string prefixText, int count, string contextKey)
{
    SqlConnection conn;
    SqlCommand cmd;
    string cmdString =
    "Select Name from Person.CountryRegion WHERE Name LIKE '" +
    prefixText + "%'";
    conn = new
    SqlConnection(@"Data Source=VRAKSH-VAIBHAVS;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;
                    User ID=sa;Password=data#123");
//         Put this string on one line in your code
    cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdString, conn);
    conn.Open();
    SqlDataReader myReader;
    List<string> returnData = new List<string>();
    myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
    while (myReader.Read())
    {
        returnData.Add(myReader["Name"].ToString());
    }
  return returnData.ToArray();
 }

Just save & run ....

type just one character in your textbox & wait for 2-3 seconds.....
u will find suggestion box is shown under it.

Here is Full code.....


Source code......


<div>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server"
TargetControlID="TextBox1" ServiceMethod="GetCompletionList"
UseContextKey="True" MinimumPrefixLength="1">
asp:AutoCompleteExtender>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">asp:TextBox>
div>


code behind....

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

[System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute(),
System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethodAttribute()]
public static string[] GetCompletionList
                     (string prefixText, int count, string contextKey)
{
    SqlConnection conn;
    SqlCommand cmd;
    string cmdString =
    "Select Name from Person.CountryRegion WHERE Name LIKE '" +
    prefixText + "%'";
    conn = new
    SqlConnection(@"Data Source=VRAKSH-VAIBHAVS;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;
                    User ID=sa;Password=data#123");
//         Put this string on one line in your code
    cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdString, conn);
    conn.Open();
    SqlDataReader myReader;
    List<string> returnData = new List<string>();
    myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
    while (myReader.Read())
    {
        returnData.Add(myReader["Name"].ToString());
    }
  return returnData.ToArray();
 }

Exporting data from GridView to pdf file in asp.net or how to export data from gridview to pdf in c#?

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

In this demo tutorial I will show you how to export data from gridview to pdf file.

Steps are as follows:

1. Create new web page.

2. Drag & drop gridview from toolbox & bind your database (don’t use enable sorting).

<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server">

        asp:GridView>

3. Drag & drop button.

  <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
onclick="Button1_Click" />

4. You need to download one dll file named iTextSharp.dll.

5. Now add reference of this downloaded dll.

6. Now go to code behind & some of the following codes.

using iTextSharp.text;

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

using iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser;

7. Now add following code in code behind.

public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)

{

/* Verifies that the control is rendered */

}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader("content0disposition",

"attachment;filename=UserDetails.pdf");

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

GridView1.AllowPaging = false;

GridView1.DataBind();

GridView1.RenderControl(hw);

GridView1.HeaderRow.Style.Add("width", "15%");

GridView1.HeaderRow.Style.Add("font-size", "10px");

GridView1.Style.Add("text-decoration", "none");

GridView1.Style.Add("font-family", "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif");

GridView1.Style.Add("font-size", "8px");

StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.Ge tBytes(sw.ToString())));

Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A2, 7f, 7f, 7f, 0f);

HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);

PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);

pdfDoc.Open();

htmlparser.Parse(reader);

pdfDoc.Close();

Response.Write(pdfDoc);

Response.End();

}

Now on button click , whole data from your gridview will be transferred in pdf file .

Using UpdateProgress of ajax in asp.net

In this post i will show how to use UpdateProgresss extension of ajax in asp.net

We do see in many websites that when ever somthing is getting loaded at that time some message is shown

like “Please wait .....” or “Loading....”

Or some gif images

This can be done by using UpdateProgresss of Ajax in ASP.NET easily.....

Let me show you one small example.....

1. Create new asp.net page.

2. Go to source code.

3. Add ScriptManager ......(without it your ajax will never work...)

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />

4. Add one UpdatePanel & put code someting like this ...

<asp:UpdateProgress runat="server" id="PageUpdateProgress">
<ProgressTemplate>
Loading....
</ ProgressTemplate>
</ asp:UpdateProgress>

5. Now Add UpdateProgress Extension & write something like this ....

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="Panel">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button runat="server" id="UpdateButton"
onclick="UpdateButton_Click"
text="Update" style="height: 26px" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

6. Now go to code behind & write this code....

protected void UpdateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
}

7. Now just save it & run it....

8. Click on button..... You will find “Loading....” at top of button.

You can put anything for showing instead of “Loading....”

i.e. You can put any image like there are in many wesites....

Here is full code....

Source code...

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
<asp:UpdateProgress runat="server" id="PageUpdateProgress">
<ProgressTemplate>
Loading....
</ProgressTemplate>
</asp:UpdateProgress>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" id="Panel">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button runat="server" id="UpdateButton"
onclick="UpdateButton_Click"
text="Update" style="height: 26px" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Code Behind...

protected void UpdateButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
