ASP.NET Dynamic Data

Dynamic Data Road Map

ASP.NET Dynamic Data 4.0 Preview 4 Refresh

Refreshed 6/26

• DomainDataSource had errors updating foreign keys
• Cannot edit many to many relationship with table per type inheritance
• Better exception handling

The ASP.NET Dynamic Data Preview 4 Refresh is a new release of Dynamic Data based on some of the early bits we are working on for the next release of the framework. This preview release runs on .NET 3.5 SP1 / VS 2008 SP1. The final version will ship with .NET 4.0 and VS 2010.

This preview shows some of the areas in which we are expanding Dynamic Data:

• A new QueryExtender control, contained in the sample projects to simplify common data filtering operations. It supports a rich ASP.NET declarative query syntax that makes it easy to do things like search data for text or have filters based on ranges.
• A new Dynamic Data filter model that enables the developers to apply templates to pages just like field templates (including user defined filters).
• Support for inheritance in Entity Framework and Linq to SQL.
• Support for many to many relationships in Entity Framework.
• New Entity Templates which allow fine control over how an object is displayed and edited.
• Attributes for controlling the filters appearance and order.
• A DomainDataSource control that uses a data provider model which enables the developers to build their own custom business logic.
• A datasource control for ADO.NET Data Services that works with ASP.NET and an ADO.NET Data Service Provider for Dynamic Data.
• Starter templates for building new applications with the bits for DomainService, Entity Framework and Linq to SQL.
• Simple Dynamic Data for adding field templates, validation, and entity template support to existing ASP.NET data driven pages.

This also contains the Dynamic Data Futures project which contains some things we the team is considering for future releases of Dynamic Data.

Lazy Loading jQuery Tabs with ASP.NET

How to create PDF document using PDFDoc Scout library in ASP.NET

This page contains step by step tutorial how to create PDF document in ASP.NET using PDFDoc Scout library.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To use PDFDoc Scout library on web-server you have to have additional "Web License"

PDFDoc Scout library is capable of generating of in-memory PDF files so file needn't to be stored as a file on hard drive and can be streamed right into the browser window.

There is a special "GenerateInMemoryFile" property for such purposes. Set this property to TRUE and the library will generate and keep your PDF as in-memory stream without using of any temporary files.

1) Install PDFDoc Scout library on your computer and run Visual Studio.NET

2) Go to File menu and select New Project:

Select ASP.NET Web Application project type and click OK

3) Visual Studio.NET will create new empty ASP.NET project. Double-click on the empty space of the form:

This will open source code editor window on procedure handling Page_Load event. We will place our code for PDF PDF animation generation into this procedure:

4) Use the following code for procedure (you can simply copy and paste this code from this page into ASP.NET source code editor window):

'Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim PDFDoc
Dim Size As Long
Dim MemoryImage As System.Array
' create new PDFDoc object
PDFDoc = CreateObject("PDFDocScout.PDFDocument")
' initalize library
PDFDoc.InitLibrary("demo", "demo")
' set in-memory mode
PDFDoc.GenerateInMemoryFile = true ' set to True to generate PDF document in memory without any files on disk to output it to end-user to browser
' starts PDF document generation
PDFDoc.BeginDocument ' start PDF document generation

' add text to current page
PDFDoc.Page.AddText "Hello, World!", 100, 100, 15

PDFDoc.EndDocument ' close PDF document generation

' get size of generated in-memory PDF document
Size = PDFDoc.BinaryImageSize
' create new buffer with size equal to generated pdf document file
Dim Buffer(CInt(Size)) As Byte
' get in-memory pdf file as byte stream
MemoryImage = PDFDoc.BinaryImage
' copy byte stream into buffer
Array.Copy(MemoryImage, Buffer, Size)
' clear http output
Response.Clear()
' set the content type to PDF
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
' add content type header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf")
' set the content disposition
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=helloworld.pdf")
' write the buffer with pdf file to the output
Response.BinaryWrite(Buffer)
Response.End()
' set library object instance to Nothing
PDFDoc = Nothing

5) Now run ASP.NET project using Debug | Start command:

Visual Studio.NET will run ASP.NET project on web-server and you will see Internet Explorer window with generated PDF document:
