HttpModule Execution Sequence

An application executes events that are handled by modules or user code that is defined in the Global.asax file in the following sequence:

1. BeginRequest
2. AuthenticateRequest
3. PostAuthenticateRequest
4. AuthorizeRequest
5. PostAuthorizeRequest
6. ResolveRequestCache
7. PostResolveRequestCache

After the PostResolveRequestCache event and before the PostMapRequestHandler event, an event handler (a page corresponding to the request URL) is created.

8. PostMapRequestHandler
9. AcquireRequestState
10. PostAcquireRequestState
11. PreRequestHandlerExecute

The event handler is executed.

12. PotRequestHandlerExecute
13. ReleaseRequestState
14. PostReleaseRequestState

After the PostReleaseRequestState event, response filters, if any, filter the output.

15. UpdateRequestCache
16. PostUpdateRequestCache
17. EndRequest

DatabindExpressions

Digging Into Data Binding Expressions

The case of the "Eval" should be maintained. ie. "E" should be CAPS and remaining should be small.

<%#Eval("ProductName")%>,<%#FormatPrice(Eval("UnitPrice"))%>

'<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ID")%>'

'<%# Eval("ID")%>'

'<%# Eval("HotelAmenities").ToString().Replace("±","") %>'

'<%# Eval("PropertyID", "Javascript:window.open(\"Map.aspx?PID={0}\")") %>'

Call a function from the aspx page when binding using "Eval"


ImageUrl ='<%# LoadImage(Convert.ToInt32(((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["StarRate"]),3) %>'

LoadImage => Function Name with two parameters starrate and imagenumber

Convert.ToInt32(((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["StarRate"]) => Convert "StarRate" to int


Concat String with "Eval"

Text='<%# "Customer Review: "+ ((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["CustomerRatings"].ToString()+"/5" %>'



PostBackUrl='<%# "~/HotelDetails.aspx?PropertyID=" + Eval("PropertyID") %> '

OR
PostBackUrl="'<%# "~/HotelDetails.aspx?PID=" + Eval("PropertyID") %> '"


PostBackUrl="~/SysAdmin/modifyAnnouncement.aspx?id=<%# Eval("intAnnouncementID")%>"
PostBackUrl="~/HotelDetails.aspx?PropertyID=<%# Eval("PropertyID")%>"

PostBackUrl="~/HotelDetails.aspx?PropertyID=" + '<%# Eval("ID")%>'

PostBackUrl='<%# Eval("PropertyID", "~/HotelDetails.aspx?PropertyID={0}") %>'


DataBinder.Eval versus Explicit Casting

http://unboxedsolutions.com/sean/archive/2005/03/06/455.aspx

http://weblogs.asp.net/rajbk/archive/2004/07/20/what-s-the-deal-with-databinder-eval-and-container-dataitem.aspx


As a regular DataBinder.Eval() user, now I feel a little
bit guilty after reading this KB article, and I'm curious
how many ASP.NET developers use explicit casting on a regular basis.
Drop me a line and let me know.

Let's say you are binding to a DataSet. This...

<%# ((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["au_id"] %>

...is significantly faster than this...

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "au_id") %>


Conditions with Eval


<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "checkedout" ) == "No"), ?"Check Out":""%>


'<%# !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Convert.ToString(((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["RackRate"] ).Trim()) ? "£ "+((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["RackRate"]:"" %>'


PopUpS
------

OnClientClick='<%# Eval("PropertyID", "Javascript:popupWin(\"Map.aspx?PID={0}\",500,400)") %>'


OnClientClick='<%# Eval("PropertyID", "Javascript:window.open(\"Map.aspx?PID={0}\")") %>'

OR

onClientClick='<%#String.Format("{0}\"{1}{2}{3}{4}\")", "javascript:window.open(","Map.aspx?PID=",Eval("PropertyID"), "&Guid=",Eval("GUID")) %>'

OnClientClick="popup(' <%# ((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["PropertyID"] %>');"

OnClientClick='<%# Eval("PropertyID", "Javascript:window.open(\"Map.aspx?PropertyID={0}\")") %>'


OnClientClick='<%# Eval('PropertyID', "Javascript:window.open('Map.aspx?PropertyID={0}','top=200,left=350,width=425,height=350, menubar=no,status=no,location=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no')") %>'


"window.open(<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"PropertyID","'Map.aspx?PID={0}'") %>,'question','scrollbars=yes,width=630,height=480,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,toolbar=no');"
