ASPHostPortal.com, The Best, Cheap and Recommended ASP.NET Hosting proudly announced the availability of ASP.NET 5 Hosting in their hosting deals. ASPHostPortal offer ASP.NET 5 Hosting at affordable price, easy and instant setup, and best customer support.

Finally, the long awaited release of ASP.NET 5, ASPHostPortal are happy to announce the availability of the .NET Framework 5 for all our hosting packages. It is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.2. ASP.NET 5 has been re-imagined from the ground up to provide a faster development experience, best in class performance, full side-by-side support.

ASP.NET 5 is clean and free of bugs and is a composable .NET stack for building modern web applications for both cloud and on-premises servers. ASP.NET 5, with the help of Visual Studio 2015, lets you create modern web applications. Modern web applications not only target all devices, including PCs, Macs, Tablets and smartphones, but also work with any browser or operating system.

ASP.NET 5 gives you greater flexibility by being able to run on three runtimes:

Full .NET CLR

The full .NET CLR is the default runtime for projects in Visual Studio. It provides the entire API set and is your best option for backwards compatibility.

Core CLR (cloud-optimized runtime)

The Core CLR is a lean and completely modular runtime for ASP.NET 5 projects. This CLR has been re-designed into components so you have the flexibility to include only those features that you need in your app. You add the components as NuGet packages. When you are finished, your app is dependent only on required features. By re-factoring the runtime into separate components, we can deliver improvements to the components more quickly because each component is updated on its own schedule. The Core CLR is about 11 megabytes instead of around 200 megabytes for the full .NET CLR. The Core CLR can be deployed with your app and different versions of the Core CLR can run side-by-side (both of these advantages are described in greater detail below).

Cross-Platform CLR

Microsoft will release a cross-platform runtime for Linux and Mac OS X. When released, this runtime will enable you to develop and run .NET apps on Mac and Linux devices. They will work closely with the Mono community on this effort. Until its release, you can use the Mono CLR for cross-platform development.

DotNetNuke is a program that runs on Microsoft ASP.NET. It is also a framework, meaning, it is a program that is designed to be extended. One of the ways you extend the framework is to create modules. These modules are installed inside a DotNetNuke installation and when they run in that DotNetNuke installation they extend the framework to create a DotNetNuke website also called a portal.

In this article I will tell you about “How to Building an Ecommerce in DotNetNuke Module”

For the first, you will need to open the DotNetNuke website development copy in your Visual Studio. Then simply add a plain file to your eCommerce in DotNetNuke project by making use of a DotNetNuke Dynamic Module template, which comes fully installed with your DotNetNuke Starter Kit package. Open your web.config file to trace the compilation node. Then simply proceed to add a node titled codeSubDirectories under compilation. Add one more item under the codeSubDirectories by using name of your module entered by you in the last step, in the following format: <add directoryName="ModuleName"/>.

Now, go to the Solution Explorer and proceed by locating the DesktopModules directory. Here, you will find a fresh directory that has been created by Dynamic Module template, below your DesktopModules directory. Rename the directory with the same module name used by you in your previous steps. You must next log-in into the DotNetNuke website, opened previously by you in the Visual Studio, by using the facility of a host account provided for the purpose. Under the main menu of this host account, select the Module Definitions option, and then select the Create New Module option. Now, you will need to fill-up this module form by making use of the same module name used by you in the steps followed earlier.

After that is done, click on the Add Control of the form for Create New Module. From the drop-down list, click select on the file that has been added to it by Dynamic Module template. This file represents module name that was specified in your previous steps; only with the extension:.ascx added to it. You now need to open this.ascx file in the Visual Studio. It will display both a code-behind view and design created by the module template. You can add functionality to this code-behind file as deemed suitable to your eCommerce in DotNetNuke. Visual and layout elements may also be added to your design view, if desired. Before making an attempt to create the module, it is advisable to verify DotNetNuke portal installation functionality.

Entity Framework is actively developed by the Entity Framework team which is assigned to the Microsoft Open Tech Hub and in collaboration with a community of open source developers. Together we are dedicated to creating the best possible data access experience for .NET developers.
The Entity Framework version 6 Release Candidate is now available to developers for immediate download. The open source object-relational mapper is designed to enable .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. Entity Framework allows programmers to create a model by writing code or using boxes and lines in the EF Designer. Both of these approaches can be used to target an existing database or create a new database.

There are The Top features of Entity Framework 6 :

• Connection Resiliency - enables automatic recovery from transient connection failures.
• Async Query and Save - dds support for the task-based asynchronous patterns that were introduced in .NET 4.5. With .NET 4.5 Microsoft introduced async and await keywords but in EF 5 Microsoft didn't have time to add support for async query and save but now with EF6 it is supported.
• Code-Based Configuration - gives you the option of performing configuration - that was traditionally performed in a config file - in code.
• Dependency Resolution - introduces support for the Service Locator pattern and we’ve factored out some pieces of functionality that can be replaced with custom implementations.
• Interception/SQL logging - provides low-level building blocks for interception of EF operations with simple SQL logging built on top.
• Testability improvements - make it easier to create test doubles for DbContext and DbSet.
• Features that come for free - These are capabilities that are part of the core. You don’t even have to know they’re there to benefit from them, much less learn any new coding. This group includes features such as performance gains brought by a rewritten view-generation engine and query compilation modifications, stability granted by the ability of DbContext to use an already open connection, and a changed database setting for SQL Server databases created by Entity Framework.
• DbContext can now be created with a DbConnection that is already opened - which enables scenarios where it would be helpful if the connection could be open when creating the context (such as sharing a connection between components where you can not guarantee the state of the connection).

Top Reasons To Choose Entity Framework 6 Hosting

• Fast and Secure Server - Our powerfull servers are especially optimized and ensure the best Entity Framework 6 performance. We have best data centers on three continent, unique account isolation for security, and 24/7 proactive uptime monitoring.

The word on the internet is that DNN 7.0 is about to drop any day now.   I’ve been following this one quite closely since the DNN World conference (a month ago now, how time flies!) and I’ve been doing extensive compatibility testing with my software.

And This top reason why you will love DotnetNuke 7 :

1. New Installation and Upgrade
There was a time when everyone seemed to agree that installing DotNetNuke was a tough task fit only for the bravest of souls.  I didn’t ever really think that way, because the whole idea of a self-installing and self-upgrading web application was the stuff of fantasy not that long ago.   I mean, I can remember the day when you had to register COM components and restart IIS to get stuff to run.  I hope you, the reader, have no idea what I just said because that means the industry has made vast gains.  DotNetNuke itself was always an easy thing to get going, but now it is dead simple and informative.

How so?  Well, the installer is a one-page set of questions, many of which are pre-answered.  And then, you click ‘go’, and it whizzes through, installs all the various parts and then gives you a new screen with a couple of options – either explore more about the platform, or just let you dive straight in and get going.  And, just like in DNN 6, when you’ve finished the install, you’re already logged in.  Nice.

DotNetNuke 7.0 now has an upgrade wizard with the same look and feel as the install wizard.  With the added feature of being required to log in as a super user account in order to start the wizard off.    Having done multiple upgrades with software testing now, I like everything about the upgrade wizard.

2. Default View Mode

DotNetNuke 7.0 now defaults to ‘View Mode’ – which, despite the fancy name – just means the content, by default, looks as it will to the site visitors.    And, because it defaults to ‘View Mode’, the old ‘View Mode’ wording/button/control – it’s gone now.  It’s just the normal view, or edit or layout views.  Simple.

3. Drag and Drop

You select the thing you want to add (Text/Html module) then you drag a copy of that to the place on the page you want it.   That’s it – couldn’t be simpler or more intuitive.  To me it is very elegant in operation because not only are you putting things where you want, but the page expands dynamically to show where the insert will be.

4. Auto Save

With the Text/Html module, your content can be auto-saved as you type.  No more lost content.  Much fewer curse words being sent in the direction of DotNetNuke installs.  A real positive step forwards.

5. Control Panel

The new DNN 7 control panel uses the concept of common, less common and user-configurable areas.  Or, in plain-speak, things you use all the time, things you don’t, and a place where you can make your own list.

Benefit Of DotNetNuke 7 for Website Developer

1. Benefit from 1000s of ready-to-use functionalities

DotNetNuke comes with many built-in features that are ready to be used in your website. By using DotNetNuke, you will be able to add rich features to your website, for free, such as discussion forums, blogs, feedback forms and much more. You can also select from thousands of commercial extensions, that will allow you to include advanced functionalities, such as image galleries, image slideshows, opt-in email marketing and e-commerce. And if you can't find what you need, you still have the option to develop customized extensions, knowing that there is a community of over 700,000 users ready to assist.

2. Easier and faster website development

DotNetNuke will make developing websites faster, whether you are using DotNetNuke as an instant website builder or as a web application framework. For more information, see our Developing with DNN section.

3. Make more money developing websites

DotNetNuke will give you a competitive advantage to win website development contracts. By showing your potential clients the many advantages they will have if their website is built with DotNetNuke, you can more easily convince people to choose your services. Shorter delays to develop websites, fully featured websites, ability to manage content easily in-house, proven technology: these arguments will certainly help you sell your proposal.
