Introduction.

Hello Guys,

In this article, I will explain what is extension method and why and where we should use this.

Let’s understand the term extension means we are going to create something new with the help of old made things or objects etc. right? So this is very predictable word in real world. On other hand in programming world this meaning is almost same with some new enhancements.

Let’s see the professional definition in terms of oops.

Extension method is special kind of static method which we can access throughout or outside of program.

Extension method help us to extend the class with new methods without any changes in base type or class .

We can create new methods in the dll library class also without changing the old code though extension method.

Let’s see the simple example of extension method using System;

namespace csharpdemoexample

{

public static class csharpdemo

{

public static void Main()

{

try

{

Console.WriteLine(Myextmethod(“Welcome”, “Extension”));

Console.Read();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

}

public static string Myextmethod(this string a, string b)

{

return (a + ” ” + b); // This is the extension method named Myextmethod.

}

}

}

All right. Now one question would come to your mind is, why I have written the this keyword in parameter right?

So let me clarify this confusion. This is the keyword which require for first argument parameter no matter what data type you use for this. But this keyword is mandatory for extension method. If you are not defining the this, it will acts like a normal static method .

Now next question is how to use the extension method in dll file. In other words, if you have created the dll in C# so all the classes and method will be act as private. So how can we use the same dll and create the new method inside your new application.

So let’s see how we can achieve this task? Let’s add a Class library in your solution project.

Created two methods inside dll class. Add and subtract right .

Now I want to use this DLL into some project and using this class, I want to create one new method.

Like Multiply. So we will achieve this by extension method. Let’s see how? First, add the DLL reference inside you project in which you want to implement the new method. Okay?

 

using BaseDLL;

namespace csharpdemoexample

{

public static class csharpdemo

{

public static int Multiply(this MathDemo obj ,int a, int b)

{

return a * b; //This is the extension method i have created using DLL.

}

public static void Main()

{

try

{

MathDemo obj2 = new MathDemo();

Console.WriteLine(“Result of extension method multiply is :” + Multiply(obj2,10,20));

Console.Read(); //I have called the newly created method here. And it works like charm. Great isn't it ?

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

}

}

}

Conclusion – Now I am done. So in this article we have seen what is extension method and how to create and use them.

Thanks for reading this article.

I hope this article will be helpful for you guys, your comments and feedback are always welcome.

Thanks,

Surya Prakash Pandey.

If you are applying only with asp.net as skills set then you won't get much output. You required to update your skills based on market demand. You have to be fit in demands by brushing up your skills and adding more sugar in that. Then only you well get more sweet results. I hope, I have convinced you to learn more growth more concept.

ASP.NET is a web development platform, which provides a programming model, a comprehensive software infrastructure and various services required to build up robust web applications for PC, as well as mobile devices.

ASP.NET works on top of the HTTP protocol, and uses the HTTP commands and policies to set a browser-to-server bilateral communication and cooperation.

ASP.NET is a part of Microsoft .Net platform. ASP.NET applications are compiled codes, written using the extensible and reusable components or objects present in .Net framework. These codes can use the entire hierarchy of classes in .Net framework.

The Three Flavors of ASP.NET:
1.Web Forms
2.MVC
3.Web Pages 

ASP.NET Web Forms (.aspx pages):
The Web Forms framework targets developers who prefer declarative and control-based programming, such as Microsoft Windows Forms (WinForms) and WPF/XAML/Silverlight. It offers a WYSIWYG designer-driven (drag-and-drop) development model, so it's popular with developers looking for a rapid application development (RAD) environment for web development. If you’re new to web programming and are familiar with the traditional Microsoft RAD client development tools (for example, for
Visual Basic and Visual C#), you can quickly build a web application without having expertise in HTML and JavaScript.

ASP.NET MVC:
By dividing the application into the model (M), views (V), and controllers (C), ASP.NET MVC can make it easier to manage complexity in larger applications. With ASP.NET MVC, you can have multiple teams working on a web site because the code for the business logic is separate from the code and markup for the presentation layer — developers can work on the business logic while designers work on the markup and JavaScript that is sent to the browser.

ASP.NET Web Pages (.cshtml and .vbhtml files):
ASP.NET Web Pages targets developers who want a simple web development story, along the lines of PHP. In the Web Pages model, you create HTML pages and then add server-based code to the page in order to dynamically control how that markup is rendered.

1. What is ASP?

Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP, is a Microsoft's server-side technology, which helps in creating dynamic and user-friendly Web pages. It uses different scripting languages to create dynamic Web pages, which can be run on any type of browser. The Web pages are built by using either VBScript or JavaScript and these Web pages have access to the same services as Windows application, including ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) for database access, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for e-mail, and the entire COM (Component Object Model) structure used in the Windows environment. ASP is implemented through a dynamic-link library (asp.dll) that is called by the IIS server when a Web page is requested from the server.

2. What is ASP.NET?

ASP.NET is a specification developed by Microsoft to create dynamic Web applications, Web sites, and Web services. It is a part of .NET Framework. You can create ASP.NET applications in most of the .NET compatible languages, such as Visual Basic, C#, and J#. The ASP.NET compiles the Web pages and provides much better performance than scripting languages, such as VBScript. The Web Forms support to create powerful forms-based Web pages. You can use ASP.NET Web server controls to create interactive Web applications. With the help of Web server controls, you can easily create a Web application.

ASP.NET MVC

It’s a part of ASP.NET and provides an alternative to ASP.NET webforms. You can even mix webforms and MVC. Basic concepts like state management are still the same. Thus, if you have some knowledge of Webforms then you can reuse it while learning ASP.NET MVC.

The MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern has been around for a few decades, and it's been used across many different technologies. Everything from Smalltalk to C++ to Java, and now C Sharp and .NET use this design pattern to build a user interface.

Following are some salient features of the MVC pattern:−

* Originally it was named Thing-Model-View-Editor in 1979, and then it was later simplified to Model- View-Controller.

* It is a powerful and elegant means of separating concerns within an application (for example, separating data access logic from display logic) and applies itself extremely well to web applications.

* It increases the testability of your application parts.

History

Microsoft has released various versions till date, right from ASP.NET MVC 1.0.

ASP.NET MVC 5.2 is the latest release and 6.0 is in beta.

In April 2009, the ASP.NET MVC source code was released under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL). "ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation framework that is integrated with the existing ASP.NET features.

Some of these integrated features are master pages and membership-based authentication. The MVC framework is defined in the System.Web.Mvc assembly.

In March 2012, Microsoft had released part of its web stack (including ASP.NET MVC, Razor and Web API) under an open source license (Apache License 2.0). ASP.NET Web Forms was not included in this initiative.

Benefits of ASP.NET MVC

Following are the benefits of using ASP.NET MVC:−

Makes it easier to manage complexity by dividing an application into the model, the view, and the controller.

Enables full control over the rendered HTML and provides a clean separation of concerns.

Direct control over HTML also means better accessibility for implementing compliance with evolving Web standards.

Facilitates adding more interactivity and responsiveness to existing apps.

Provides better support for test-driven development (TDD).

Works well for Web applications that are supported by large teams of developers and for Web designers who need a high degree of control over the application behavior.

* The Model − A set of classes that describes the data you are working with as well as the business logic. There are two types of Models 1) Domain Model 2) View Model

* The View − Defines how the output will be displayed. It is a pure HTML, which decides how the UI is going to look like. The views are rendered by View Engines. We have 1) ASPX View Engine 2) Razor View Engine

* The Controller − A set of classes that handles communication from the user, overall application flow, and application-specific logic.

A service-level agreement (SLA) is a contract between a service provider and its internal or external customers that documents what services the provider will furnish.

SLAs originated with network service providers, but are now widely used by telecommunicationservice providers and cloud computing service providers. Corporate IT organizations, particularly those that have embraced IT service management (ITSM), enter SLAs with their in-house customers (users in other departments within the enterprise). An IT department creates an SLA so that its services can be measured, justified and perhaps compared with those of outsourcing vendors.

SLAs measure the service provider’s performance and quality in a number of ways. Some metrics that SLAs may specify include:

Availability and uptime -- the percentage of the time services will be available

The number of concurrent users that can be served

Specific performance benchmarks to which actual performance will be periodically compared

Application response time

The schedule for notification in advance of network changes that may affect users

Help desk response time for various classes of problems

Usage statistics that will be provided.

In addition to establishing performance metrics, an SLA may include a plan for addressing downtime and documentation for how the service provider will compensate customers in the event of a contract breach. SLAs, once established, should be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology and the impact of any new regulatory directives (changes to the PCI DSS standard, for instance).
