ASP.NET 5 Hosting France - HostForLIFE.eu :: Develop a Captcha Image Generator in ASP.NET

clock December 19, 2014 05:38 by author Peter

In this tutorial, I will explain you how to Develop a Captcha Image Generator in ASP.NET 5 with C# or VB.NET. CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart".  And here is the code that I use to generate take one .aspx page as GenerateCaptcha.aspx :

GenerateCaptcha.aspx.cs:
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
public partial class GenerateCaptcha : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Clear();
        int height = 40;
        int width = 110;
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height);
        RectangleF rectf = new RectangleF(12, 6, 0, 0);
        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
        g.Clear(Color.White);
        g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
        g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
        g.DrawString(Session["captcha"].ToString(), new Font("Cambria", 13, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Red, rectf);
        g.DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Green), 1, 1, width - 15, height -10);
        g.Flush();
        Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
        bmp.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        g.Dispose();
        bmp.Dispose();
    }
}

Take .aspx where you want to use captcha.
UseCaptcha.aspx

        }
    }
    void FillCaptcha()
    {
        try
            Random random = new Random();
            string combination = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
            StringBuilder captcha = new StringBuilder();
            for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)

The update also addresses three other cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, a cross-side request forgery flaw, a denial-of-service bug related to password checks, server-side request forgery issues, and what WordPress called “an extremely unlikely hash collision” that could lead to account compromise. WordPress said it also invalidates links in a password reset email if the user remembers our password and logs in and changes our email address.

WordPress 4.0.1 addresses an additional eight security issues, including three other XSS vulnerabilities that can be exploited by a contributor or an author, a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) that can be leveraged to trick a user into changing his/her password, and a denial-of-service (DoS) bug.

ASP.NET 5 Hosting Italy - HostForLIFE.eu :: Using ValidationSummary Control in ASP.NET

clock December 15, 2014 06:01 by author Peter

Today, I will show you how to ValidationSummary Control in ASP.NET 5. ValidationSummary control allow us to display summary of all validation errors. We can display validation errors summary inline of a web page or a message box or both by using ShowMessageBox and ShowSummary property value true or false.

ValidationSummary will display validation messages as bulleted list, 1 paragraph or only list based on DisplayMode. we can set a header text for validation summar. ASP.NET validationsummary control have many properties to design the error messages text as like fore color, back color, border color, border style, border width, theme, skin and after all CSS class.

This ValidationSummary, allow to summarize of all validation error messages from all validators in a single location. This code below will show you how can we display all validation error messages as summary using ValidationSummary control. In this example, I used three text box and make them required field using requiredfieldvalidator control. When user submit form without entering textboxes value, they got a validation error messages summary in one location as bulleted list.

And here is the example ValidationSummaryExample.aspx code:

European ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting - UK :: Zip File Manipulation in ASP.NET 4.5

clock December 11, 2014 08:16 by author Scott

One of the missing feature of .NET framework was a support for Zip file manipulation such as reading the zip archive, adding files, extracting files, etc. and we were using some third party libraries such as excellent the DotNetZip. In .NET 4.5, we have an extensive support for manipulating .zip files.

First thing that you should do is to add System.IO.Compression assembly as reference to your project. You may also want to reference System.IO.Compression.FileSystem assembly to access three extension methods (from the ZipFileExtensions class) for the ZipArchive class: CreateEntryFromFile,CreateEntryFromFile, and ExtractToDirectory. These extension methods enable you to compress and decompress the contents of the entry to a file.

Let’s cover the bits and pieces that we get from System.IO.Compression assembly at first. The below sample shows how to read a zip archive easily with ZipArchive class:

static void Main(string[] args) {

    const string zipFilePath = @"C:\apps\Sample Pictures.zip";

    using (FileStream zipFileToOpen = new FileStream(zipFilePath, FileMode.Open))
    using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(zipFileToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Read)) {

        foreach (var zipArchiveEntry in archive.Entries)
            Console.WriteLine(
                "FullName of the Zip Archive Entry: {0}", zipArchiveEntry.FullName
            );
    }
}

In this sample, we are opening the zip archive and iterate through the collection of entries. When we run the application, we should see the list of files inside the zip archive:

It’s also so easy to add a new file to the zip archive:

static void Main(string[] args) {

    const string zipFilePath = @"C:\apps\Sample Pictures.zip";

    using (FileStream zipFileToOpen = new FileStream(zipFilePath, FileMode.Open))
    using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(zipFileToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update)) {

        ZipArchiveEntry readMeEntry = archive.CreateEntry("ReadMe.txt");
        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(readMeEntry.Open())) {
            writer.WriteLine("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...");
            writer.Write("Proin rutrum, massa sed molestie porta, urna...");
        }

        foreach (var zipArchiveEntry in archive.Entries)
            Console.WriteLine(
                "FullName of the Zip Archive Entry: {0}", zipArchiveEntry.FullName
            );
    }
}

In this sample, we are adding a file named ReadMe.txt at the root of archive and then we are writing some text into that file.

Extracting files is into a folder is so easy as well. You need reference the System.IO.Compression.FileSystem assembly along with System.IO.Compression assembly as mentioned before for this sample:

static void Main(string[] args) {

    const string zipFilePath = @"C:\apps\Sample Pictures.zip";
    const string dirToExtract = @"C:\apps\Sample Pictures\";

    using (FileStream zipFileToOpen = new FileStream(zipFilePath, FileMode.Open))
    using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(zipFileToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
        archive.ExtractToDirectory(dirToExtract);
}

There are some other handy APIs as well but it is so easy to discover them by yourself.

ASP.NET 5 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: Auto Resize Text Box in ASP.NET

clock December 5, 2014 06:53 by author Peter

In this article, we want to talk about How to to develop a simple Example of text box control with ASP.NET 5. Once we enter data during this text box control we want to the length (re-size height and width) of text box. Text box is an ASP.NET web control, use for obtaining input by user as similar to the login web site we see username and password Textbox exactly in which we enter username and password. Inside the Toolbox we obtain a textbox only drag and drop it on ASP.NET web site and then it is automatically create our html code. We think about a text box and attempt to Auto re-size it once we enter value in text box.

And this is the example code that I used:
JavaScript function for resize ASP.NET control
And here is the Text Box auto resize function.

function resizemultilineTextBox(txt) {
            txt.style.height = "1px";
            txt.style.height = (1 + txt.scrollHeight) + "px";
        }
Asp.net web page code with Textbox:

European ASP.NET 4.5 Hosting - France :: Using HTML 5 and ASP.NET to Upload Files

clock December 4, 2014 07:03 by author Scott

ASP.NET web applications that require uploading files from the client machine to the server use the file field to select files. The selected files are uploaded to the server using form submission techniques. In addition to the file field, HTML5 also allows you to select files using drag and drop. Using this feature you can drag files from Windows Explorer or Desktop and drop them on a predefined area of a web page. The files can then be uploaded to the server. This article illustrates how the HTML5 drag and drop feature can be used to upload files on the server.  

Traditionally you use the HTML file field to select files that are to be uploaded to the server. ASP.NET web forms wrap the file field into the FileUpload server control and ASP.NET MVC applications can use an <input> element with type attribute set to file. Another alternative offered by HTML5 is dragging one or more files from Windows Explorer or Desktop and drop them onto some predefined HTML element of a web page. You can then access the dropped files using the dataTransfer object available to drag and drop events.

To understand how files can be selected using the drag and drop features of HTML5, let's develop a new ASP.NET web forms application. The HTML markup of the default web form is shown below:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<center>
 
<div id="box">Drag & Drop files from your machine on this box.</div>
 
<br />
 
<input id="upload" type="button" value="Upload Selected Files" />
</center>
</form>

As you can see, the <form> consists of a <div> element and a button. The <div> element is intended to drop the files dragged from the local machine. Merely dropping the files won't upload them to the server. Clicking on the button initiates the file upload operation.

To handle the file drop operation you need to wire certain event handlers to the box <div> element. The following jQuery code shows how that can be done:

var selectedFiles; 

$(document).ready(function () {
  var box;
  box = document.getElementById("box");
  box.addEventListener("dragenter", OnDragEnter, false);
  box.addEventListener("dragover", OnDragOver, false);
  box.addEventListener("drop", OnDrop, false);
...
}

The code declares a global variable named selectedFiles for storing a list of selected files. The ready() function wires three event handler functions to the respective events of the box <div> element, viz. dragenter, dragover and drop using addEventListener() method. The first parameter of the addEventListener() method is the event name and the second parameter is the event handler function. The event handler functions are shown below:

function OnDragEnter(e) {
  e
.stopPropagation();
  e
.preventDefault();
} 

function OnDragOver(e) {
  e
.stopPropagation();
  e
.preventDefault();
} 

function OnDrop(e) {
  e
.stopPropagation();
  e
.preventDefault();
  selectedFiles
= e.dataTransfer.files;
  $
("#box").text(selectedFiles.length + " file(s) selected for uploading!");
}

The OnDragEnter() and OnDragOver() event handler functions are simple and they merely prevent the event bubbling of the respective events. The OnDrop() function is important since it handles the drop event. The list of files dragged and dropped on the <div> element is obtained using the files property of the dataTransfer object. The files object is of type FileList and each item of the FileList collection is of type File. These two objects are available as a part of the HTML5 File API. The OnDrop() function stores the selected files in the global variable - selectedFiles and displays a message in the <div> using the text() method that indicates the number of files selected. The following figure shows how the default web form looks after dragging and dropping files on the <div> element.

Default web form after dragging and dropping files to the <div> element

How to Send Files to the Servere?

To send the selected files from the client to the server you can use different techniques but in this example you will use jQuery $.ajax() method for uploading the files. The following code shows how $.ajax() method can be used for this purpose.

$("#upload").click(function () {
  var data = new FormData();
  for (var i = 0; i < selectedFiles.length; i++) {
    data.append(selectedFiles[i].name, selectedFiles[i]);
  }
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "FileHandler.ashx",
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    data: data,
    success: function (result) {
      alert(result);
    },
    error: function () {
      alert("There was error uploading files!");
    }
  });
});

The code shown above first creates a FormData object. The FormData object encapsulates form's data that you wish to send to the server. All the selected files are added to the FormData object using its append() method. The first parameter of the append() method is the name of the file being added and the second parameter is the File object itself. Once the FormData object is ready you make a POST request to a Generic ASP.NET Handler (FileHandler.ashx) using jQuery $.ajax() method. You will create the generic handler in the next section.

The type of the request is POST. The url is FileHandler.ashx. Notice that the processData option is set to false. By default when you use the $.ajax() method the data is sent in URL encoded format. To prevent this behavior processData is set to false. The data option  is set to the FormData object created earlier. The success function simply displays the message returned by the generic handler. The error handler function displays an error message in case there is any error while calling FileHandler.ashx.

Receive the Uploaded Files

The ASP.NET generic handler - FileHandler.ashx - receives the files sent by the $.ajax() method. The generic handler also saves them to a folder on the server. The following code shows how the handler accomplishes this task:

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
   
if (context.Request.Files.Count > 0)
   
{
       
HttpFileCollection files = context.Request.Files;
       
foreach (string key in files)
       
{
           
HttpPostedFile file = files[key];
           
string fileName = file.FileName;
            fileName
= context.Server.MapPath("~/uploads/" + fileName);
            file
.SaveAs(fileName);
       
}
   
}
    context
.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
    context
.Response.Write("File(s) uploaded successfully!");
}

The ProcessRequest() method of the FileHandler.ashx is called when the files are sent to the server using the $.ajax() method. The uploaded files can be accessed using the Files collection of the Request object. Each item inside the Files collection is of type HttpPostedFile. A foreach loop iterates through all the files from the Files collection and saves the individual file using the SaveAs() method of HttpPostedFile class. Once all files are saved a success message is sent to the client.

Note that by default ASP.NET sets request length to 4096 bytes. If you wish to upload large files you may adjust the request length using web.config file as shown below:

<httpRuntime
  
maxRequestLength="20000"
  
requestValidationMode="4.5"
  
targetFramework="4.5"
  
encoderType="..." />

As you can see the maxRequestLength attribute of the <httpRuntime> section is set to 20000 bytes. You need to adjust this value as per your requirement.

That's it! You can now run the web form, drag and drop files on the <div> element and click on the "Upload Selected Files" button to upload them on the server. 



ASP.NET 5 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to create “Remember Me” Login Page using checkbox with ASP.NET ?

clock December 1, 2014 06:12 by author Peter

In this tutorial, I will tell you How to create “Remember Me” Login Page using checkbox with ASP.NET 5 and C#. Whenever you tick Remember Me checkbox it will maintain username and password for web site user using Cookies.

When user click login button that could stores the username and password inside the cookie. First thing you need to do is confirm that the Remember Me checkbox is checked or not, if it's checked then store the username and password inside the cookie to the 1 month and if not checked then set the expiration day to 1 day in else condition to destroy the cookie.

And here is the code that I used:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  

      if (!Page.IsPostBack) 
      { 
           if (Request.Cookies["UserName"] != null) 
                txtUserName.Text = Request.Cookies["UserName"].Value; 
           if (Request.Cookies["Password"] != null) 
                txtPassword.Text = Request.Cookies["Password"].Value; 
           if (Request.Cookies["UserName"] != null && Request.Cookies["Password"] != null) 
                chkRember.Checked = true;  
      }  
}  
protected void btnLogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
 { 
       string stringconnection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString; 
       MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(stringconnection); 
      try 
      {  
           int flag = 0; 
           if (chkRember.Checked == true) 
           { 
                Response.Cookies["UserName"].Value = txtUserName.Text; 
                Response.Cookies["Password"].Value = txtPassword.Text; 
                Response.Cookies["UserName"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1); 
                Response.Cookies["Password"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1); 
           } 
           else 
           { 
                Response.Cookies["UserName"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1); 
                Response.Cookies["Password"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1); 
           }  
           MySqlCommand com = new MySqlCommand("select * from tbl_user_details", connection); 
           connection.Open(); 
           if (connection.State == ConnectionState.Open) 
           { 
                MySqlDataReader objSqlDataReader;                
                objSqlDataReader = com.ExecuteReader();

                    while (objSqlDataReader.Read())                 
                     { 
                     if (objSqlDataReader[2].ToString().Equals(txtUserName.Text) && objSqlDataReader[5].ToString().Equals(txtPassword.Text)) 
                     { 
                          flag = 1; 
                          Session["UserName"] = txtUserName.Text; 
                          Session["UserType"] = objSqlDataReader[8].ToString(); 
                          Response.Redirect("ContactUs.aspx", false); 
                     } 
                     else 
                     { 
                          ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "validation", "<script language='javascript'>alert('Invalid Username and Password')</script>"); 
                    } 
                } 
           } 
      } 
      catch (Exception ex) 
      { 
           lblMsg.Text = ex.ToString(); 
      } 
      finally  
      { 
           connection.Close(); 
      }
 }
