HtmlHelper

Hi,

There are 2 option to create the Htmlheplers in Asp.net MVC i.e

1. using C# Extension Method
2. Using Razor declaration @Helper Sysntax

Here we will create very simple htmlhelper i.e Truncate. Whichone can be used for truncating the string.

Step1: Create the simple blank Mvc application, like this

Empty

Step 2: Add the Blank Controller i.e HomeController and Pass some long string Value from Controller to View i.e Index.

HomeController

Step 3: Create C# HtmlHelpers class in Seperate Helper folder and Write the Extension Method to truncate the string like this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace RazorHelper.Helper
{
    public static class HtmlHelpers
    {

        public static string Truncate(this HtmlHelper helper, string input, int length)
        {
            if (input.Length <= length)
            {
                return input;
            }
            else
            {
                return input.Substring(0, length) + ".....";
            }

        }

    }
}

Step 4: Build the application and Call the Helper Method in Index view like this

Methodcall

Note: Donot forget to call the namespace otherwise you canot call the extension Method.

Step 5: Run the application

Recently i had used log4net error handling plugin in one of my recent project. Previously i was using enterprise library for this task. But this is very flexible and essay to use in application.
We can use Log4net in our application using this few steps

Step 1: Install the Log4net plugin like this

Log4net

Step2: Inside the Configration section of Webconfig, keep this code related with log4net like this

  
  <configSections>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net"></section>
  </configSections>

  <log4net>
    <appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
      <param name="File" value="C:\MyLog\test.txt"/>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d [%t] %-5p %c %m%n"/>
      </layout>
    </appender>
    <root>
      <level value="All" />
      <appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
    </root>
  </log4net>

Step 3: In global.aspx file, keep the code like this

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
}

Step 4: Now implement the error handling in your code like this

protected void btnClick_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
log4net.ILog logger = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(_Default));
try
{
// This is used for generating the error in code.
int a;
a = Convert.ToInt32(txtNum.Text);
Response.Write(a);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
logger.Error(ex.StackTrace);
}

}

Now if there will be any exception occur in application then it will create the log in C:\MyLog\test.txt
