    Code-Behinds in C#

    This simple example shows how to use code-behinds in ASP.NET.   The following code fills a dropdown box selecting data from the pubs database.  This is an example method of separating presentation from business logic.

    Here is the code:

    The webpage.

    <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="False" Inherits="myCodeBehind" src="2.cs"%>
    <html>
    <head><title>Fill dropdown with C# and Sql DataReader</title></head>
           <body>
               <asp:Dropdownlist id="atMyDropDownList" DataValueField = "au_lname" DataTextField = "au_id" runat="server" />
           </body>
    </html>

    The Code-behind page

    using System;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.UI;
    using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
    using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    using System.Configuration;

    public class myCodeBehind : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
    public DropDownList atMyDropDownList;

        private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            string sqlText = "select * from authors";
            atMyDropDownList.DataSource = GetDr( sqlText );
            atMyDropDownList.DataBind();
        }
        private SqlDataReader GetDr( string sqlText)
        {
            SqlDataReader dr;
            SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString());
            SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(sqlText,sqlConn);
            sqlCmd.Connection.Open();
            dr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
            return dr;
        }
        private string ConnectionString()
            {
                return ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DSN_pubs"];
            }

        private void Page_Init( object Sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
                       
        }//end Page_Init

    } //End Class

    NEW! A Layered approach to delivering security-rich Web applications

    As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications to provide services to customers, employees and partners, these complex applications become more difficult to secure.
