1. Introduction
CNUX .Net

ASP.Net 2.0 specifications and guidelines.

Provider, Site Map Provider, Session State Provider, Profile Provider, Web
Event Provider and Web Parts Personalization Provider. CNUX .Net Providers framework is specifically
designed for use §
Database:
Oracle® 8i, 9i, 10g, 11g or above database engine

Figure 2. CNUX .Net Providers for Oracle®
Compatibilities Matrix 2. What are .Net Providers?
.Net Providers
model is part of the .Net 2.0 framework that provides a standardized method to
easily manage web page states. It
includes the state-management of Membership, Role, Site Map, The .Net Providers
model makes it possible to store such information in various storage media such
as XML and databases. If a
database is used as the storage media of choice, the framework allows
customization for various database vendors such as Oracle® and IBM® DB2®. Microsoft® has provided the .Net Providers
for use with Microsoft® SQL Server as the out-of-the-box solution. For more
information about the Microsoft® ASP.Net model, please refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx. 3. CNUX .Net Providers Model
Figure 3
illustrates how the CNUX .Net Providers work in conjunction with the Microsoft®
ASP.Net services. In the top layer are
UI controls such as Login, CreateUserWizard and other .Net application codes
that call Microsoft® ASP.Net services.
In the second layer lie the base classes for Microsoft® ASP.Net
services. These services do not store and
manage data in the data storage directly.
Instead all operations are done via the providers as Concrete
Classes. If any
methods of the concrete classes need to be further customized, the concrete
classes can be inherited and extended/overridden in the extended classes
layer. For example, when the Membership.
DeleteUser method is called, the corresponding record in the custom users table
in the Oracle®/DB2® database can also be reset by calling the method MS Oracle Data Provider client:
MyExtended.OracleProvider.OracleMembershipProvider.DeleteUser ODP.Net client: MyExtended.OracleProvider.OracleMembershipProvider.DeleteUser DB2 client: MyExtended.DB2Provider.DB2MembershipProvider.DeleteUser
Figure 3. The CNUX .Net Providers Model 4. Features
4.1. Compatibility
All
CNUX .Net Providers are built for the Microsoft® ASP.Net Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5,
and 100% compliant and compatible with the information and requirements
documented in the Microsoft® ASP.Net 2.0 model.
There is
no behavioural difference when compared to the out-of-the box .Net Providers
for SQL Server provided by Microsoft®.
Other
providers are not applicable.
Please
note that Microsoft® SharePoint® 2007 server does not support customization of
providers other than Membership and Role.
4.2. Programmability
CNUX .Net
Providers offers concrete classes that can be easily incorporated into any web
projects using the Microsoft® Visual Studio® environment by placing the CNUX
.Net Providers module in your Microsoft® Visual Studio® project’s bin directory and modify a couple of
settings in the web.config file.
All CNUX
.Net Providers classes are derived from the abstract Microsoft® ASP.Net
providers classes and therefore can be replaced or extended with any
implementation you require via inheritance should any further customization be
required. 4.3.
Provider Types
The
following table illustrates all the services and the corresponding CNUX .Net
Providers:

100% thread safe
All CNUX
.Net Providers conform to the Thread Safety requirements as documented in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx. Without
thread safety the code can produce data corruption and hard to reproduce
sporadic errors due to the following summarized nature of Microsoft® ASP.Net
providers architecture: §
Microsoft®
ASP.Net providers are instanced once and shared among requests §
Each
request is processed on a different thread drawn from a thread pool §
A
provider can be accessed by multiple threads concurrently 4.5.
Transaction control
Transactions
are applied to all singleton/multiple method calls and database updates to
guarantee atomicity according to suggestions as documented in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx. 4.6.
Exceptions - Error trapping
All CNUX
.Net Providers trap all errors and throw exceptions according to guidelines as
documented in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx.
4.7.
Support all Microsoft® documented ASP Roles and
Views
CNUX .Net
Providers support all the ASP Roles as follows:

Providers support all the ASP Views as follows:
Figure 6. CNUX .Net Providers supported ASP Views For more
information about ASP Roles and Views, please refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164596.aspx. 4.8. Performance advantage
All SQL
related coded are embedded within stored procedures to reduce traffic and
processing overhead incurred by TCP/IP, Stream Pipe, Named Pipe, Local Loopback
or Shared Memory between code and the database engine. 4.9.
Localization - Multi-language and time zone support
The
internet is without borders, and so should your web site. All CNUX .Net Providers are multi-language
Unicode compatible. All user character
attributes are defined as Unicode columns to record data of any language. Even the
Exception Messages thrown by CNUX .Net Providers are sensitive to the user’s
web browser settings and display in the corresponding language. Currently Exception Messages are provided in 简体中文 (Chinese-Simplified), 繁體中文 (Chinese-Traditional), Nederlands
(Dutch), English, Français (French) and 日本語
(Japanese). All user
timestamp attributes are defined as UTC columns to accurately record date-time
data of any time zone. 4.10.

Shared
Shared This feature is particularly useful for environments
where a single sign-on application is used for general user authentication and
multiple web applications can be invoked or spawned within it once a user’s
identity is verified. From there on
information can be passed to and from the sign-on application and the spawned
applications. 4.12.
Database Failover/Database Clustering
All CNUX .Net Providers can be deployed to Database Failover/Database Clustering environments. 5. Sample Codes
