View resolver is used to resolve “view name” that returned from the controller class to a physical view page or JSP page.

1. InternalResourceViewResolver

InternalResourceViewResolver is used to resolve “internal resource view” (in simple, it’s final output, jsp or htmp page) based on a predefined URL pattern. In additional, it allow you to add some predefined prefix or suffix to the view name (prefix + view name + suffix), and generate the final view page URL.

2. XmlViewResolver

XmlViewResolver is used to resolve “view name” based on view beans in the XML file. By default, XmlViewResolver will loads the view beans from /WEB-INF/views.xml, however, this location can be overridden through the “location” property

3. ResourceBundleViewResolver

ResourceBundleViewResolver is used to resolve “view named” based on view beans in “.properties” file.

By default, ResourceBundleViewResolver will loads the view beans from file views.properties, which located at the root of the project class path. However, this location can be overridden through the “basename” property.

Can BlogEngine.NET be installed within an existing website?

Yes. Install it in its own folder and configure the directory it resides in as an application in IIS.

Some hosting providers may not allow the level of trust used in BlogEngine.NET by default. If you receive an error similar to:

• “Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition=’MachineToApplication’ beyond application level.”,

You can try one of the following to resolve the issue:

• Comment out the “trust” line in web.config
• Ask your hosting provider if they can configure the directory where BlogEngine.NET is installed as a virtual directory.
• Ask your hosting provider to verify that the directory has been configured as an application in IIS.

How do I update the “About the Author” section of the blog?

In the default Standard theme, edit the content of this section by clicking “edit” in on the side bar of your blog.

An alternative way to display About the Author information is to create a ‘Page’ in the control panel. The Title of the Page can be About the Author. Enter information about the author in the WYSIWYG editor. Once the page has been created, you can add a link to the About page on your blog. This can be achieved by adding a Page List widget, or by adding a TextBox widget with a hyperlink to the About page, or by editing your theme file (site.master) and adding a hyperlink to the About page.

Is BlogEngine.NET open source and completely free?

Yes. BlogEngine.NET is built by passionate developers who have too much spare time, just to make an open source blog engine to give away absolutely free.

Is my mother able to use it?

Yes. We have gone to great lengths to make BlogEngine.NET as easy as possible to use – both from an end user as well as a developer or theme designer’s point of view.

What are the demands for the web server?

The only thing needed to run BlogEngine.NET is a web server that support ASP.NET 2.0 and write permissions on the App_Data folder.

What database is it running on?

None. BlogEngine.NET uses XML to store all posts, pages etc. by default. However, if you prefer to use a database, BlogEngine.NET includes a “DbBlogProvider” that allows you to store data in databases which support standard SQL — MS SQL Server, MySql, SQLite and Vista DB among many others. Configuration changes necessary to store data in a SQL Server database can be found. If there isn’t a data provider already available, you can easily write your own provider. We have enginereed our framework to make this very easy and simple to do.

How can I switch where data is stored (XML to Database or vice versa)?

If you’re just starting off with BlogEngine.NET, all of your data will be stored in XML files in your App_Data folder. Some web hosts such as GoDaddy who have an automatic BlogEngine.NET setup option, might setup your blog so data is stored in a database instead. If your blog is new, you don’t yet have any data, and you want to switch from XML storage to Database storage

1. Explain the differences between Server-side and Client-side code?
Server-side code executes on the server. Client-side code executes in the client’s browser.

2. What type of code (server or client) is found in a Code-Behind class?
Server-side code. Since code-behind is executed on the server. However, during the code-behind’s execution on the server, it can render client-side code such as JavaScript to be processed in the clients browser. But just to be clear, code-behind executes on the server, thus making it server-side code.

3. Should user input data validation occur server-side or client-side?
All user input data validation should occur on the server at a minimum. Additionally, client-side validation can be performed where deemed appropriate and feasable to provide a richer, more responsive experience for the user.

4. What is the difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect?
Why would I choose one over the other? Server.Transfer transfers page processing from one page directly to the next page without making a round-trip back to the client’s browser. This provides a faster response with a little less overhead on the server. Server.Transfer does not update the clients url history list or current url. Response.Redirect is used to redirect the user’s browser to another page or site. This performas a trip back to the client where the client’s browser is redirected to the new page. The user’s browser history list is updated to reflect the new address.

5. What is the Global.asax used for?
The Global.asax (including the Global.asax.cs file) is used to implement application and session level events.

6. What are the Application_Start and Session_Start subroutines used for?
This is where you can set the specific variables for the Application and Session objects.

7. Whats an assembly?
Assemblies are the building blocks of the .NET framework.

8. Can you explain what inheritance is and an example of when you might use it?
When you want to inherit (use the functionality of) another class. Example: With a base class named Employee, a Manager class could be derived from the Employee base class.

9. Describe the difference between inline and code behind.
Inline code written along side the html in a page. Code-behind is code written in a separate file and referenced by the .aspx page.

10. Explain what a diffgram is, and a good use for one?
The DiffGram is one of the two XML formats that you can use to render DataSet object contents to XML. A good use is reading database data to an XML file to be sent to a Web Service.

WordPress is a very popular blog publishing application and content management system. It was first released in May 2003 by its co-founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little as a (considered the official) successor to b2\cafelog.
WordPress has a templating system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as themes that can be installed and switched between. The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations. WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine-friendly, clean permalink structure; the ability to assign nested, multiple categories to articles; multiple author capability; and support for tagging of posts and articles. Automatic filters that provide for proper formatting and styling of text in articles (for example, converting regular quotes to smart quotes) are also included. WordPress also supports the Trackback and Pingback standards for displaying links to other sites that have themselves linked to a post or article. Finally, WordPress has a rich plugin architecture which allows users and developers to extend its functionality beyond the features that come as part of the base install.
