In this article, let me explain, how to automate the process of changing a Web Configuration in ASP.NET. The web transformation would be helpful because: 1. It is a bit difficult to make the same set of changes for a different environment. 2. If the config file has more entries then it would be difficult to traverse manually. 3. Possibilities of typo error. ASP.NET 4.0 has provided a very nice option to transform the web configuration. When we create an ASP.NET application using Visual Studio, it will create a web config file with the following two transformations. Web.Debug.config: Debug mode Web.Release.config: Release mode. When we run the application (publish) in a debug mode, the web.debug.config file would override the web config settings and the Web.Release.config file settings would be used when the application is running in a release mode. Now I want to do the web.Config transformation for other build environments, like: Staging. Production. To do this, I am using the followin...

  Using Windows Azure SDK 1.3 or later we have the ability to launch a process (called a startup task) like: Before a role starts and the role will be started after the completion of the task. A Role will not wait for a startup task to finish, instead it will launch just after the startup task is executed. Both role and startup task would be independent. We can run a role as long as the startup task is running. To add a startup task, we need to include the following lines of code in the service definition file (.csdef) as shown below. <ServiceDefinition  name = "MyService"   xmlns= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" >   <WebRole  name = "WebRole1" >   <Startup>   <Task commandLine= "Startup.cmd"  executionContext= "limited"  taskType= "simple" >   </Task>   </Startup>   </WebRole>   </ServiceDefinition...

Really, I always like to work and read about ASP.Net request handling mechanisms. From the outside, it's just request & response tricks. But, if you go in-depth, then you will understand some interesting internal things. Most developers have experienced questions on ASP.Net page life cycle in interviews. I had that experience when I started my carrier. In this article, I am going to explain about the core part of the ASP.Net request processing. i.e HTTP Handler and HTTP Module. What are HTTP handlers? The ASP.Net life cycle starts with a request sent by a browser to the web server. When the web server receives the request, it will pass the request to an instance of the HTTP Runtime class. The HTTP Runtime object observes and figures out from which application it has been sent (virtual directory). Then it uses the HTTP Application factory to create a HTTP Application Object to process the request. The HTTP Application objects holds the collection of HTTP Module ob...
