Microsoft Enterprise Library: Part-III

Continuing the exploration of the Enterprise library application blocks, this post will cover the Logging Application Block

Logging Application Block

Logging Application Block can be used to write information to a variety of locations:

1. The event log

2. An e-mail message

3. A database

4. A message queue

5. A text file

6. A Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) event

7. Custom locations using application block extension points

This link provides the design details of logging application block.

To know about what the logging application block does, refer this link

When to use Logging Block: refer to this link
Would it not be nice if there are pre-defined steps showing how to use this block in all the above 7 mentioned scenarios. If you answered YES, here are the steps.

Feel free to play around with the above mentioned scenarios, before I come up with sample app for these.

Till Next we connect

Happy Learning.

Authentication using Social Networking portals(Facebook, Gmail, and Yahoo)

There are tons of sites, which offer sign on using the social networking site credentials (Facebook, gtalk, twitter and the list continues).It can be termed a “SINGLE SIGNON” and offers a lot of benefits compared to traditional database authentication approach. However, not storing user credentials in the DB imposes an additional risk. How to track who all logged into the system. Now the question is, which approach to follow. The best approach is to use inbuilt asp.net users for storing the logging info about user activities and using single signon technique for authentication. This article will explore the approach and provide the details of implementation using some third party libraries and customizing it to the requirements. The Authentication will be done using the following networking portals Yahoo Gmail Facebook Special thanks to my friend Sumit Khandelwal, for implementation of Facebook part (in fact he did it all!!) Except Facebook, all other ca...

Asp.Net 4.0: An Overview-Part-III

This is the last post in the series which will explore the following new features of ASP.Net 4.0 Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process Web.config File Refactoring Permanently Redirecting a Page Expanding the Range of Allowable URLs Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process It is a common practice to host multiple ASP.NET applications in a single worker process, In order to increase the number of Web sites that can be hosted on a single server. This practice results in difficulties for server administrators to identify an individual application that is experiencing problems. ASP.NET 4 introduces new resource-monitoring functionality introduced by the CLR. To enable this functionality, following XML configuration snippet is added to the aspnet.config configuration file.(This file is located in the directory where the .NET Framework is installed ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8...

WPF Overview-Part-II

This post is in continuation to the last post. In this Post I’ll be exploring the Dependency Properties Dependency properties are similar to CLR properties with more advanced and complex features. The main difference between the CLR properties and dependency properties is, that the value of a normal .NET property is read directly from a private member in your class, whereas the value of a DependencyProperty is resolved dynamically when calling the GetValue() method that is inherited from DependencyObject . In case this description did not make sense, no need to worry, It will become clear by the time you reach end of this article. How the Value is Resolved in Dependency properties Every time a dependency property is accessed, it internally resolves the value by following the precedence from high to low. It checks if a local value is available, if not, check if a custom style trigger is active and I the similar manner continues until it finds a value. At last the default value is alwa...
