70-562 Tracing



Tracing can be enabled from the page directive, programmatically or from the web.config.

This will append the trace info to the bottom of the page.

There several tables of grouped trace information: Life cycle events, controls used by page, sessions state, cookies, http reuqest headers, server variables.

SessionID, Time spent in each event, and check that the events are executing in the expected order.

The control tree give a hierarchy of the controls in the page, and how much the control is using in the viewstate, and render by tells how much room the control uses on the page.

See cookie information.

And can see the Header information incase you do any kind of header manipulation.

Also see query string collection.

Also see the server variables passed back and forth between the server and the client application, logon user, remote user.

Enable tracing when not in production, (remember to disable it when building a release... that and the debug= true setting get forgotten often). All this Tracing nfomation is very insightfull when learning asp.net.

It is possible to use the TraceContext class for adding information like Trace.Write and Trace.Warn, this last one displayed in red. Each of these has overloads with single message, category and message, and exception.

The trace object is available from the page object.

TraceContext.IsEnabled can be used to check if trace is enabled before writing. Also, this is a set property, Tracing can be enabled programmaticaly using IsEnabled, and the TraceMode can be set to change how the information is grouped.

Having trace enabled to tru in the web.config shows trace.axd localy only, while false will show to all remote users.

When writeToDiagnosticsTrace is enabled, it also writes to tracelisteners on the system.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

70-562 ListView

List View is a versatile control that allows to work with a signle control rather than many smaller controls. Provides rich sorting, deleting, editing, it is one of the most flexible grid control. Design view can fill the ListView with fake data to give an overview. In designer, the configure list view link might not show, (currently a bug), to fix configure the datasource but cancel then click configure datasource again and this time click finish and the Cofnoigure ListView link will show up in the smarttag.

The itemPlaceHolder and the groupPlaceHolder are important elements as the will b...

70-562 Coding Web Parts

Coding Web Parts. The Web Part framework helps you write code to control all aspects of web parts behavior. Not all things are automaticaly handled, changing the display mode, changing the personalizing scope, reseting data, creating web parts with custom or user controls, and creating connections. PersonlizationADministration.FindSharedState method allows to find the personlization data using the FindUserState and ResetUser state. Web parts can be implement following those typical patterns, Master/Details(one shows the order, the other the items), Filter by Form(one shows the order, other allows to edit items, List/Form InputDisplay: one to edit, the other to view A web part can be a data provider, or consumer, or both. When using provider/consumer, The data is not guaranteed to be final until the prerender event. Custom controls as web parts allow to add new verbs to web parts, like, Verify. Specifying whether a control is a provider or cusumer is done in the cla...
