In this short tutorial, I will tell you about submit form without page refresh in ASP.NET with Ajax and jQuery. First step, make a Employee table as shown on the picture below:

Now, make a new WebSite then add a new WebForm name as Index.aspx. Write the following code to the page.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Index.aspx.cs" Inherits="Index" %> 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="Script/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="Script/Myjs.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>Name</td>
                <td>
                    <input type="text" id="txtName" />
                </td>
            </tr>
           <tr>
                <td>Age</td>
                <td>
                    <input type="text" id="txtAge" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Email</td>
                <td>
                    <input type="text" id="txtEmail" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <input type="button" id="btnSubmit" value="Save" />
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <label id="lblResult" ></label>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Now, Open file Index.aspx.cs and write the following code:
using System;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class Index : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
     }
     [WebMethod]
    public static string SaveRecord(string Name,int Age, string Email)
    {
        string messageResult = string.Empty;
        string strConnection = @"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\Peter\TestDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnection);
        con.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into Employee (Name,Age,Email) values (@name,@age,@email)",con);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", Name);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@age",Age);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@email", Email);
        int result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        con.Close();
        if(result == 1)
        {
            messageResult = "Record Inserted";
        }
        else
        {
            messageResult="Unable to Save Record";
        }
        return messageResult;
    }
}

Above you can see, I have included a attribute [WebMethod]. What is WebMethod ?  A WebMethod Attribute Enable a system to be called through the WebServices. Now, include another JS record. Compose the accompanying code in your JS document.
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#btnSubmit').on('click', function () {
        var getName = $('#txtName').val();
        var getAge = parseInt($('#txtAge').val());
        var getEmail = $('#txtEmail').val();
        $.ajax(
            {
                type: "POST",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                url: "Index.aspx/SaveRecord",
                data: "{'Name':'" + getName + "','Age':" + getAge + ",'Email':'" + getEmail + "'}",
                dataType: "json",
                success:function(data)
                {
                    $('#lblResult').text(data.d);
                    $('#txtName').val('');
                    $('#txtAge').val('');
                    $('#txtEmail').val(''); 
                },
                error:function(data)
                {
                    alert(data);
               }
            });

    });
});

And here is the output:

Today, In this article I will tell you about Create Web API with ASP.NET 5, run outside IIS application. First step, open visual studio and then make a console application as you can see on the picture below:

Create the Web API & OWIN Packages
Go to Tools menu, choose Library Package Manager, then select Package Manager Console. In the Package Manager Console window, enter the following code:
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OwinSelfHost

Then, right click the project. Create new class named Startup.cs and add the following code:
public class Startup
   {
        // This code configures Web API. The Startup class is specified as a type
        // parameter in the WebApp.Start method.
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder appBuilder)
        {
            // Configure Web API for self-host.
           HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );
             appBuilder.UseWebApi(config);
        }
    }

Now create a Web API controller class. In Solution Explorer, right click the project & choose Add / Class to add a new class. I named it: HelloController. Then write the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web.Http;
namespace SelfHostWebApi
{
    public class HelloController : ApiController
    {
        // GET api/values/5
        public string Get(int id)
        {
            return "Hello API";
        }
    }
}

Open Program.cs and add write the code below, inside main method:
using Microsoft.Owin.Hosting;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace SelfHostWebApi
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string baseAddress = "http://localhost:9000/";
            // Start OWIN host
            using (WebApp.Start<Startup>(url: baseAddress))
            {
                // Create HttpCient and make a request to api/values
                HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
                var response = client.GetAsync(baseAddress + "api/hello").Result;
                Console.WriteLine(response);                
                Console.WriteLine(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }    }
}

Finally, your self hosted Web API is ready. You will see the output like the picture below when you Run it.

            });
        });

In this article, I will tell you how to create form validation in AngularJs and ASP.NET 5. In most of Web Apps, we require user to register on the application. I need to do some action like Form validation , so that user can not submit a Invalid form. There are too many way to validate a form in Client side.

Here we are using AngularJs for the form validation. AngularJs Provide many form Validation Directives, We will use then to validate our form. Now, let’s create new project.  First, Add a Employee class and write the code below:
namespace FormValidationInAj.Models
{
    public class Employee
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        public string Email { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }   
 }
}

Create an Empty Home Controller
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace FormValidationInAj.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Add Index view corresponding to Index action with this code:
@model FormValidationInAj.Models.Employee
<div ng-controller="myCntrl" class="divForm">
    <form name="registerForm" novalidate ng-submit="Save(registerForm.$valid)">
        @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
         <fieldset>
            <legend>Employee</legend>
             <div class="editor-label">
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName)
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field form-group">
                <input type="text" ng-model="firstName" name="firstName" ng-required="true" />
                <p ng-show="registerForm.firstName.$error.required && !registerForm.firstName.$pristine" class=" error">First Name Required</p>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-label">
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName)
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field form-group">
                <input type="text" ng-model="lastName" name="lastName" />
            </div>
            <div class="editor-label">
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email)
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field form-group">
                <input type="email" ng-model="Email" name="Email" ng-required="true" />
                <p ng-show="registerForm.Email.$error.required && !registerForm.Email.$pristine" class="error">Email Required</p>
                <p ng-show="registerForm.Email.$error.email && !registerForm.Email.$pristine" class="error">Invalid Email</p>
            </div>
            <div class="editor-label">
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Age)
            </div>
            <div class="editor-field form-group">
                <input type="number" ng-model="Age" name="Age" ng-required="true" />
                <p ng-show="registerForm.Age.$error.required && !registerForm.Age.$pristine" class="error">Age Required</p>
                <p ng-show="registerForm.Age.$error.number && !registerForm.Age.$pristine" class="error">Invalid Age </p>
            </div>
            <p>
                <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary" />
           </p>
        </fieldset>
    </form>
</div>

Above I even have used AngularJs directives for form validation.

1. Required :using ng-required="true", validated a input field that's required.
2. Email : using Type="email" property of input field, validate Email address.
3. Number : using Type="number" property of input field, validate number field.

There are several form validation directives in AngularJs.

• To show the error message, I even have used Error Name of AngularJs.
• To show error message only if used has been interacted with form, unless Error message are going to be hidden, I even have used $pristine. $pristine : it'll be true If user has not interacted with form yet.

Now, Add 2 new Js file.
module.js
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);

Controller.js
app.controller("myCntrl", function ($scope, $http) {
    $scope.Save = function (Valid) {
        if (!Valid) {
            alert("Invalid form");
            return;
        } else {
            alert("It's Great. Form Submitted");
        }
    }
});

Modilfy your _Layout.cshtml file. I have included required Js file for angularJs.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
     <link href="~/Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="~/Scripts/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/Angular/Module.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/Angular/Controller.js"></script>
    <style>
        .divForm{
           margin: 15px 50px;
           padding: 0;
           width: 30%;
         }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    @RenderBody()

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

Output:

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create custom config section in ASP.NET 5. You can extend ASP.NET configuration settings with XML configuration elements of your own. To do this, you create a custom configuration section handler.

The handler should be a ASP.NET Framework class that inherits from the System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection class. The section handler interprets and processes the settings that are defined in XML configuration elements in a specific section of a web.config file. You'll read and write these settings through the handler's properties.

With this article, I will tell you about how to to read pdf document properties in  ASP.NET 5. We know that there is no- such  in-built class in .NET framework that read the pdf document. In this example,I will used third-party library iTextSharp. And here is the code that I used for this article:

In this post I am going to tell you how to get IP Address of the client machine in ASP.NET 5 with C#.Net or fetch/discover IP location of the client or server machine utilizing ASP.NET with C#.Net. You can likewise put this code in your site to get or retrieve users IP address also you count the unique visitor in your website. In numerous site use this kind of usefulness so he can see that which user is visited our website. So you can likewise utilize or set this code to your site for getting the listof IP location of the users machine that are gone by your site.

The following code is to get the client IP address in ASP.NET:

In this article, I will explain you about creating a custom configuration sections in ASP.NET 5. We want to extend ASP.NET configuration settings using XML configuration elements of your own. To do this, we produce a custom configuration section handler. The handler should be a .NET Framework class that inherits from the System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection class. The section handler interprets and processes the settings that are outlined in XML configuration elements in a specific section of a web.config file. We willl browse and write these settings through the handler's properties. And here is the code that I used:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace CustomConfigSection
{
    public class LoginRedirectByRoleSection : ConfigurationSection
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("roleRedirects")]
    public RoleRedirectCollection RoleRedirects
        {
    get
            {
    return (RoleRedirectCollection)this["roleRedirects"];
            }
    set
            {
    this["roleRedirects"] = value;
            }
        }
    }
    public class RoleRedirect : ConfigurationElement
    {
        [ConfigurationProperty("role", IsRequired = true)]
    public string Role
        {
    get
           {
    return (string)this["role"];
            }
    set
            {
    this["role"] = value;
            }
        }
        [ConfigurationProperty("url", IsRequired = true)]
    public string Url
        {
    get
            {
    return (string)this["url"];
            }
    set
            {
    this["url"] = value;
            }
        }
    }
    public class RoleRedirectCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
    {
    public RoleRedirect this[int index]
        {
    get
            {
    return (RoleRedirect)BaseGet(index);
            }
        }
    public RoleRedirect this[object key]
        {
    get
            {
    return (RoleRedirect)BaseGet(key);
            }
        }
    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
        {
    return new RoleRedirect();
        }
    protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
        {
    return ((RoleRedirect)element).Role;
        }
    }
}

<configSections>
    <section name="loginRedirectByRole" type="CustomConfigSection.LoginRedirectByRoleSection,CustomConfigSection" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />

        {
           LoginRedirectByRoleSection roleRedirectSection = (LoginRedirectByRoleSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("loginRedirectByRole");
    foreach (RoleRedirect roleRedirect in roleRedirectSection.RoleRedirects)
            {
    if (Roles.IsUserInRole("", roleRedirect.Role))
                {
                    Response.Redirect(roleRedirect.Url);
