ASP.Net – Introducing LINQ

ASP.Net, LINQ, Varinder Sandhu

LINQ stands on Language Integrated Query. LINQ changes the way you access and query data. Before LINQ was created, most queries were expressed as text that was executed against a database. This SQL text was often specific to the underlying technology of the database being queried. LINQ elevates the process of querying for data to actual language constructs and keywords. This has two primary advantages: First, it provides type checking of your query code at compile time; this means that

ASP.Net – Web Server’s Role

.Net Framework, ASP.Net, Varinder Sandhu

When a web server receives a request, some of the actions it takes are to: Verify that the request is structured legitimately. Sometimes, malicious clients send malformed web requests to compromise web servers. Web

Understanding Web Communications

.Net Framework, ASP.Net, Varinder Sandhu

Like all client-server applications, web applications have two distinct components: Client Client also known as the front-end interface, the web browser presents the user interface, accepts user input, and sends data to the server for processing. Server Server also known as the back end, the web server responds to requests from clients for specific pages. It responds with an HTML page that includes instructions for how to generate the user interface. The web browser (the client) and the web server communicate by using Hypertext Transfer Protocol

MVC- Model–View–Controller

ASP.Net, MVC, Varinder Sandhu

Model–View–Controller (MVC) is a software architecture,currently considered an architectural pattern used in software engineering. The pattern isolates “domain logic” (the application logic for the user) from the user interface (input and presentation), permitting independent development, testing and maintenance of each (separation of concerns). The model manages the behavior and data of the application domain, responds to requests for information about its state (usually from the view), and responds to instructions to change state (usually from the controller). In event-driven systems,
