Hey Now Everybody,
In this 8th post of the Catto Code Crackin series we’ll continue with the section ‘real world exam question concepts’. In the .NET 3.5 * the .NET 4 exam there are questions. Let’s inspect some concepts & properties that will be the skills measured.
Microsoft announced the .NET 4.0 Beta Exams on St. Patrick’s Day which are a free exam & if passed you get certified. Much of the study & prep materials are not available yet, therefore I’ve been studying for a similar exam 70-562 which is the .NET 3.5 ASP.NET Application Development. I hope by posting this content it will help myself along with other people in the community learn & get excited about .NET 4. If you are serious about studying for a MS Exam 2 must have resources: the Self Paced training books are a great books to buy along with practice exams from eBay.
Here are some real world exam concepts I’d like to think about. In the future I was thinking a CodePlex project(*s) of all these examples would be killer so someday maybe that would be great.
QUESTION 1 OnItemDataBound LineTotal Condition
A Web page that contains the following two XML fragments.
01 <script runat="server">
02
03 </script>
04 <asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server"
05 DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
06
07 >
08 <ItemTemplate>
09 <td>
10 <asp:Label ID="LineTotalLabel" runat="server"
11 Text='<%# Eval("LineTotal") %>' />
12 </td>
13 </ItemTemplate>
The database table has a column named LineTotal.
ensure that when the size of the LineTotal column value is greater than seven characters,
the column is displayed in red color.
A. Insert the following code segment at line 06.
OnItemDataBound="FmtClr"
Insert the following code segment at line 02.
protected void FmtClr (object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e) {
Label LineTotal = (Label)
e.Item.FindControl("LineTotalLabel");
if ( LineTotal.Text.Length > 7)
{ LineTotal.ForeColor = Color.Red; }
else
{ LineTotal.ForeColor = Color.Black; }
QUESTION 2 - Repeater Item FindControl
A Web form code:
<asp:Repeater ID="rptData" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"ItemDataBound="rptData_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblQuantity" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("QuantityOnHand") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
The SqlDataSource retrieves the Quantity column values
from a table named Products.
The rptData_ItemDataBound event handler:
01 protected void rptData_ItemDataBound(object sender,
02 RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
03 {
04
05 if(lbl != null)
06 if(int.Parse(lbl.Text) < 10)
07 lbl.ForeColor = Color.Red;
08 }
You need to retrieve a reference to the lblQuantity Label control into a variable named lbl.
The code segment you insert at line 04 is
B. Label lbl = e.Item.FindControl("lblQuantity") as Label;
QUESTION 3 - Dynamically add usercontrol
Uuser control named UserCtrl.ascx. page named Default.aspx.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<html> ...
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="lblHeader" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="lbFooter" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
dynamically add the UserCtrl.ascx control between the lblHeader and lblFooter Label controls.
D. Add a PlaceHolder control named PlHldr between the lblHeader and lblFooter label controls.
Write the following code segment in the Init event of the Default.aspx Web page.
Control ctrl = LoadControl("UserCtrl.ascx"); PlHldr.Controls.Add(ctrl);
QUESTION 4 - LoadViewState
You create two user controls named UserCtrlA.ascx and UserCtrlB.ascx.
The user controls postback to the server.
aspx code:
<asp:CheckBox ID="Chk" runat="server" oncheckedchanged="Chk_CheckedChanged" AutoPostBack="true" />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlHolder" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
To dynamically create the user controls, you write the following code segment for the Web page.
public void LoadControls() {
if (ViewState["CtrlA"] != null) {
Control c; if ((bool)ViewState["CtrlA"] == true) {
c = LoadControl("UserCtrlA.ascx");
} else
{
c = LoadControl("UserCtrlB.ascx");
}
c.ID = "Ctrl"; PlHolder.Controls.Add(c); }
}
protected void Chk_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ViewState["CtrlA"] = Chk.Checked; PlHolder.Controls.Clear(); LoadControls();
}
ensure that the user control that is displayed meets the following requirements:
It is recreated during postback It retains its state.
you should add the following method
D. protected override void LoadViewState(object savedState) {
base.LoadViewState(savedState); LoadControls(); }
Answer: D
QUESTION 5 - OrderFormData
You create the following controls:
A composite custom control named MyControl.
A templated custom control named OrderFormData.
The following code segment to override the method named CreateChildControls() in the MyControl class.
01 protected override void
02 CreateChildControls() {
03 Controls.Clear();
04 OrderFormData oFData = new
05 OrderFormData("OrderForm");
06
07 }
Add the OrderFormData control to the MyControl control.
code segment inserted at line 6
B. Template.InstantiateIn(oFData); Controls.Add(oFData);
QUESTION 6 Custom Control
OrderFormData
A composite custom control named MyControl.
add an instance of the OrderFormData control to the MyControl control.
use the code segment:
A. protected override void CreateChildControls() {
Controls.Clear();
OrderFormData oFData = new OrderFormData("OrderForm");
Controls.Add(oFData);
}
QUESTION 7 method to raise CheckOrderForm event
created a custom control named OrderForm.
Code:
public delegate void CheckOrderFormEventHandler(EventArgs e); private static readonly object CheckOrderFormKey = new object();
public event CheckOrderFormEventHandler CheckOrderForm
{
add { Events.AddHandler(CheckOrderFormKey, value); }
remove { Events.RemoveHandler(CheckOrderFormKey, value); }
}
You need to provide a method that enables the OrderForm control to raise the CheckOrderForm event.
USe the following code segment:
B. protected virtual void OnCheckOrderForm(EventArgs e) {
CheckOrderFormEventHandler checkOrderForm = Events[CheckOrderFormKey] as CheckOrderFormEventHandler;
if (checkOrderForm != null) checkOrderForm(e); }
QUESTION 8. Validation customValidator, CompareValidator ValueToCompare property
Add a TextBox control named TextBox1.
code for validation.
protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate( object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args) {
DateTime dt = String.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Value)
DateTime.Now : Convert.ToDateTime(args.Value);
args.IsValid = (DateTime.Now - dt).Days < 10;
}
validate the value of TextBox1.
The following code should be added to the page:
A. <asp:CustomValidator ID="CustomValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ValidateEmptyText="True"
onservervalidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate"> </asp:CustomValidator>
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" Type="Date" EnableClientScript="true" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
Operator="DataTypeCheck" >
</asp:CompareValidator>
QUESTION 9 - Override Method Validates
Derive a new validation control from the BaseValidator class.
The validation logic for the control is implemented in the Validate method
.
protected static bool Validate(string value) { ...
}
Override the method that validates the value of the related control by the following :
C. protected override bool EvaluateIsValid()
{ string value = GetControlValidationValue(this.ControlToValidate); bool isValid = Validate(value); return isValid; }
QUESTION 10 Bulleted List DataSourceID property
XmlDataSource control named XmlDataSource1
XmlDataSource1 is bound to an XML document with the following structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<clients>
<client ID="1" Name="John Evans" />
<client ID="2" Name="Mike Miller"/> ...
</clients>
page.cs
protected void BulletedList1_Click( ?object sender, BulletedListEventArgs e) { //...
}
add a BulletedList control named BulletedList1 to the Web page that is bound to XmlDataSource1.
Use the following code:
C. <asp:BulletedList ID="BulletedList1" runat="server" DisplayMode="LinkButton" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="ID"
onclick="BulletedList1_Click"> </asp:BulletedList>

page.cs:
01 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
02 {
03 DataSet objDS = new DataSet();
04 SqlDataAdapter objDA = new SqlDataAdapter(objCmd);
05 objDA.Fill(objDS);
06 gridCities.DataSource = objDs;
07 gridCities.DataBind();
08 Session["ds"] = objDS;
09 }
10 protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
11 {
12
13 }
Ensure that when the btnSearch Button control is clicked,
the records in the gridCities GridView control are filtered by
using the value of the txtSearch TextBox.
You should insert at line 12 the folloing code:
B. DataSet ds = Session["ds"] as DataSet;
DataView dv = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = "CityName LIKE '" + txtSearch.Text + "%'";
gridCities.DataSource = dv;
gridCities.DataBind();
19 WCF WebChannelFactory
The application consumes a WCF service.
The WCF service exposes the following method:
[WebInvoke] string UpdateCustomerDetails(string custID);
The application hosts the WCF service by using the following code segment.
WebServiceHost host = new WebServiceHost(typeof(CService), new Uri("http://win/"));
ServiceEndpoint ep = host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICService), new WebHttpBinding(), "");
Invoke the UpdateCustomerDetails method with the following code:
A. WebChannelFactory<ICService> wcf = new WebChannelFactory<ICService>(new Uri("http: //win")) ;
