Strongly-Typed Session Properties in ASP.NET
Jan 9th
I recently was given the opportunity to comment on a blog post which discussed a method of using Strongly-Types Session Properties with ASP.NET. After reading it, I noticed that the implementation was quite similar to something I have been using for months now. I was able to provide some feedback on how his implementation differed from mine. Anyway’s, the link below will take you to the blog post which I am referring to and you could decide for yourself.
UPDATE: 1/11/2008
For those who would like to see my implementation here it is:
1: using System;
2:
3: using System.Web;
4:
5: [Serializable]
6:
7: public sealed class SessionManager {
8:
9: private const string SESSION_MANAGER = "SESSION_MANAGER";
10:
11: private Product _product = null;
12:
13: private SessionManager( ) {
14:
15: }
16:
17: public static SessionManager Current {
18:
19: get {
20:
21: HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
22:
23: SessionManager manager =
24:
25: context.Session[ SESSION_MANAGER ] as SessionManager;
26:
27: if ( manager == null ) {
28:
29: manager = new SessionManager( );
30:
31: context.Session[ SESSION_MANAGER ] = manager;
32:
33: }
34:
35: return manager;
36:
37: }
38:
39: }
40:
41: public Product ActiveProduct {
42:
43: get {
44:
45: return this._product;
46:
47: }
48:
49: set {
50:
51: this._product = value;
52:
53: }
54:
55: }
56:
57: }
58:
59: //And to access this property
60: SessionManager.Current.ActiveProduct = new Product();

.NET and the Provider Model
Nov 16th
If you have been using the new features of the ASP.NET 2.0 web framework like Membership, Roles, SiteMap, Profiles and others, you have probably heard about the Provider Model. If not, have no fear, you have been using it all along. The Provider Model is a set of API’s that were build into the .NET 2.0 Framework that gives both windows and web developers the ability to build applications that allow certain features/functionality to be replaced, at runtime, via the application’s configuration file. The only requirement is that the new feature must implement all of the interfaces of the feature being replaced. This is all done through a set of abstract classes.
Without going through much detail, Miguel Castro was a guest on DnrTV and he really goes into detail on a real word example ( Credit Card Processing ) on how you would use the Provider Model for this senario. This was a really great show and it’s the real reason why I was encouraged to blog about this.
Happy Coding!
