Developers Mania

Web Applications are disconnected in nature which means that there is no way for the browser to know who is using the application at present time. In classic Asp programming maintaining state was a headache for the  developers . They had to write alot of code to maintain state. But Asp.net model provides easy state  management . In this article we will see how we can persist state in multiple pages so the user is recognized by the browser. Preserving State in Web Applications There are number of ways that you can use to preserve  the State  of the Web Application. Here are some of the possible ways listed. 1) Using Cookies 2) Using Session States 3) Using Application States 4) Using HttpContext collection 5) Using ViewState These are only some ways of storing the state of the user as well as the application.

Maybe it's because we never made a webservice before, and all the time playing with Webforms and Windows Forms or even Console Applications. By the way, I love Console applications. In this article, I will show you how to create a simple webservice that is consumed by a Console application client. Motivation of the XML Web Services Most of the people does not understand that why we need a  web service  and make a wrong use of it. The main idea of a web service is to join two businesses together since they cannot join due to their graphical locations. Web Service is also used to link different systems together.
