  Simple example of how to achieve cross domain access at asp.net, following
  example is the simple and lazy way which just make it working by modify
  web.config.
</p>
<p>
  let's assume you have following &nbsp;two site, client-site.com is trying to
  access server-site.com's ajax api, /api/getMyData
</p>
<ul>
  <li>client-site.com</li>
  <li>server-site.com</li>
  <ul>
    <li>contains /api/getMyData</li>
  </ul>
</ul>
<p>
  So, what's you have to do at server-site.com site is following, you're let
  your server to return Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the http
  response.&nbsp;
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>
 &lt;httpProtocol&gt;
      &lt;customHeaders&gt;
        &lt;add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://client-site.com"/&gt;
      &lt;/customHeaders&gt;
    &lt;/httpProtocol&gt;
  &lt;/system.webServer&gt;<br />
</code></pre>
<p>
  client-site.com site you can just call as following, assume your api is
  server-site.com/api/getMyData
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>
&lt;script&gt; 
$.ajax({ url: "http://server-site.com/api/getMyData" }).then(function () {
            console.info("done with call server-site.com's api");
        });
&lt;/script&gt;<br /><br /></code></pre>

<p>
  During the application build or deploy if you have anything need to be include
  but not checked-in to the project, you can try following command.
</p>
<p>
  Following is example command that during the project build it will copy files
  or folder to sepecific location depend on you are on local or deploy. If you
  use powershell to write your own deployment scripts following project, csproj
  code will copy the files or folder, which you don't need to write that to
  powershell.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>&lt;Target Name="AfterBuild"&gt;
    &lt;ItemGroup&gt;
      &lt;DefinedTargetFolder Include="$(SolutionDir)\AllFilesFolder\**\*.*" /&gt;

    &lt;Copy Condition="$(IsDesktopBuild)=='false'" SourceFiles="@(DefinedTargetFolder)" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)\YourTargetFolderDuringTfsMSBuildOrDeploy\%(RecursiveDir)" /&gt;   
  &lt;/Target&gt;

Tips About How to Deploy ASP.NET Web Application


<h2>Issue: Use C# SyndicationFeed to read rss sometime throw exception</h2>
<h3>Why?</h3>
<p>
  Reading rss feed should be simple, W3C define the format for
  <a href="https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html" target="_blank">RSS</a
  >, everyone also should be just following the same format and create library
  for it. You can use the<a
    href="https://validator.w3.org/feed/#validate_by_uri"
    target="_blank"
  >
    W3C RSS validator tool </a
  >for check your own RSS feed or not. Now, following is about how to read rss
  page by C#. C# provide the <code>SyndicationFeed</code> for communicte with
  RSS. However I've seen sometime C# code will throw exception depend on what
  value of RSS Feed Item's <code>Publish Date</code>, following is a example
  will throw exception when reading the RSS.
</p>
<p>
  Le'ts say you have following type of rss feed need to read. You could get the
  RSS from this url
  <a href="http://www.asp.net/rss/content" target="_blank"
    >http://www.asp.net/rss/content</a
  >
</p>
<h3>Sample Data</h3>

&lt;pubDate&gt;Wed, 16 Mar 2016 00:00:00&lt;/pubDate&gt;
&lt;/item&gt;
</pre>
<h3>Sample Code</h3>
<p>
  Now, this is the C# code will read the above RSS and will throw exception
  depend on the Publish Date value.&nbsp;
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp">
string url = "http://www.asp.net/rss/content";
 using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                var task = client.GetAsync(url);
                string result = task.Result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

                using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(result)))
                {
                    using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stream))
                    {
// Throw exception 
                        SyndicationFeed feed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader);

                    }
                }
}
</pre>
<p>
  This is my another version to safty check the RSS, which not use the C#
  <code>SyndicationFeed</code> but use C# <code>XDocument</code> to read it.
</p>
<h4>Main class to read rss</h4>
<pre class="language-csharp">
 string url = "http://www.asp.net/rss/content";
            using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                var task = client.GetAsync(url);

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>
  The code is very simple, I might create library as Nuget Library next time.
  The library read all the defined RSS feed in C# or maybe in javascript too. My
  question is... Does RSS will be dead?

Sample Code - Use ASP.NET MVC With Razor


<h3>Encrypt connectionString</h3>
<p>
  Following task is only for initial check-in for the encrypted
  connectionString, once you have checked-in the Encrypted connectionString you
  do not need to do following.
</p>
<p>
  What following command is doing is, use aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt
  connectionStrings from Web.config and use provider as customProvider
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319&gt;aspnet_regiis.exe -pef connectionStrings C:Projects2013\LDWebsite\Source\Development\DEV3\Website -prov "customProvider"  
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319&gt;aspnet_regiis.exe -pef connectionStrings {location where contains Web.config} -prov "customProvider"  
  &lt;configProtectedData&gt;
    &lt;providers&gt;
      &lt;add name="customProvider"
           type="System.Configuration.RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" keyContainerName="myLDKey" useMachineContainer="true" /&gt;
    &lt;/providers&gt;
  &lt;/configProtectedData&gt;
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Decrypt connectionString</h3>
<p>
  copy the decrypt connectString to the Web.config's connectionString section
  and run following task. Then if will decrypt the connectionString. Following
  is check c driver's website folder's web.config.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319&gt;aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf connectionStrings C:\Website -prov "customProvider"  
Share encrypt connectionString to other enviroment or web Farm
first need to export containerKey as xml by running following command
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319&gt;aspnet_regiis.exe -px "YourRSAKeyName" "c:\xmlKey.xml"  
At other environment just try to run following command
set "keyPath=%cd%\xmlKey.xml"  
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319  
aspnet_regiis -pi "myKey" "%keyPath%"  
aspnet_regiis -pa "myKey" "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK"  
pause
</code><br />
</pre>
<pre>:: this task is for add RSA key so each machine so that encrpt connectionString could use at any enviroment, local, dev, qa or web farm.
:: webconfig's connectionString is already encrypted, if not running this task application would not be able to use encrypted connectionString.
:: following is pre requirement for running this task
:: 1. target machine is .NET 4.0
:: 2. under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319, aspnet_regiis is exist
:: 3. website's application pool identity is running under NetworkService
:: If above 1-3 is valid, you're ready to run this command line.
:: First task is register RSA Key Container in side to the machine
:: Second task is grant networkService permission to the RSA Key Container
:: After run this two task if you see 'Succeeded!', then you're good!
:: about how to use aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt webconfig see <br /><br />
</pre>
<h3>Complicated!!</h3>
<p>
  I know, we could just use same service account for application pool and use
  that account to connet to database, so we could remove the user and password
  from connection string.

</p>
<p>
  You might see following error, means your either deployed code doesn't have
  permission for IUser_Machine, or the folder or location is not able to access
  for IUser_Machine. Or your application pool is using the old .net framework
  version.
</p>
<p>
  add IUser_Machine permission to your application folder, if you don't add the
  permission, you might see following errors.

OpenSource Orchard is awesome, this blog demo how to donwload the source code and setup at IIS.

How to Deploy Orchard CMS Open Source to IIS


<p>
  This walkthrough turtorial is about how to setup Swagger with ASP.NET MVC API
  by using Visual Studio 2015, also provide steps of how to customize the
  swagger UI.&nbsp;
</p>
<h2>What's Swagger?</h2>
<p>
  Swagger could provide more rich documents for your API, but that's not it, it
  provides how to design tests and documentation about your API. Although, this
  blog just focuses on how to set up Swagger UI on Visual Studio 2015's ASP.NET
  API project. ASP.NET MVC also has a Web API Helper page but unlike Swagger,
  which is more powerful with client generation, discoverable, and more
  developer support.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
  This blog will show how to use Swagger to ASP.NET MVC API project and provide
  a list of how to.
</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>
    With a Swagger-enabled API, you get interactive documentation, client SDK
    generation and discoverability.
  </p>
</blockquote>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>Install-Package Swashbuckle

<h2>Use Azure API App template with Swagger</h2>
<p>
  You can use Swagger with Visual Studio 2015, ASP.NET 4.5.2 Templates. Once you
  use Visual Studio and create a web application by template Azure API App, at
  your solution you should see the following Swagger at the package file.
</p>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1458931625/vrtczaiykyxoxtecgloc.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<p>
  You will find the NuGet library <code>Swashbuckle</code>, that .NET version of
  Swagger, if you want to use the latest NuGet version. You can use NuGet to
  uninstall the package and install the latest NuGet package again.
</p>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="https://d1p0mp3f1fx0hz.cloudfront.net/_dp4q0c174.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<h3>
  <code>SwaggerConfig</code> and <code>EnableSwaggerUi</code> and basic
  configuration
</h3>
<p>
  After installing Swashbuckle, you will see a SwaggerConfig under your
  App_Start folder. This <code>SwaggerConfig</code> is the start point to enable
  Swagger. At the following, if you have already contained, then your setup is
  done. We should see the API document written by Swagger.
</p>
<pre
  class="language-csharp"
><code>[assembly: PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(SwaggerConfig), "Register")]

namespace WebApplication1
{
    public class SwaggerConfig
    {
        public static void Register()
        {
            var thisAssembly = typeof(SwaggerConfig).Assembly;

            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration 
                
                .EnableSwagger(c =&gt;
                    // {...
                    // this will enable swagger UI
                .EnableSwaggerUi(c =&gt;
</code></pre>
<h3>
  Build the solution and check the URL
  <code>{yoururl}/swagger or {yoururl/swagger/ui/index</code>
</h3>
<p>
  Boom!!!, you should be able to see the following swagger UI document page. I
  have two Web APIs, <code>TestController</code> and
  <code>ValuesController. </code>As you can see, it contains a search feature
  and you can try it out!!?
</p>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1458932570/vbbqw3dh7xbalqxmxlyd.png"
    alt=""

  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="https://d1p0mp3f1fx0hz.cloudfront.net/_3cxww0sfn.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<p>
  However, I also got the following question when I first see these pages
  generated by Swagger.
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Can I change this API document's UI, including logo, stylesheet?</li>
  <li>Can I add javascript to this?</li>
  <li>Can I change the URL instead of /swagger?</li>
  <li>Can I add my own page to this auto-generated page?</li>
  <li>Can I make certain Web API does not show?</li>
  <li>
    Can I turn the swagger's API documents off at production, but only in
    development?
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  I might not cover all these questions I have in my mind but will give them a
  try and list them here.
</p>
<h3>Can I Use a customized stylesheet for Swagger?</h3>
<p>
  Let's assume I want to change the following style, which changes the header
  background color to <code>#704C8F</code>.
</p>
<h3>1. CSS file</h3>
<pre class="language-css"><code>.swagger-section #header {
    background-color: #704C8F;
    padding: 14px;
}
</code></pre>
<h3>2. SwaggerConfig</h3>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>.EnableSwaggerUi(c =&gt;                   {
c.InjectStylesheet(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(WebApiApplication)), "WebApplication2.styles.swagger_test.css");
</code></pre>
<h3>3. Global.ascx</h3>
<h4>How the WebApiApplication looks like</h4>
<p>
  The SwaggerConfig's InjectStylesSheet's first parameter need to pass the
  current application's assembly, the second parameter is a little tricky. The
  filename <code>WebApplication2.styles.swagger_test.css</code>is
  <code>Project Folder name</code>.<code>{folder name}</code> and the file name.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>namespace WebApplication2
{
    public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
    }
}</code></pre>
<h4>4. styles file location</h4>
<p>
  Also, this is very important, you have made the file BuildAction an Embedded
  Resource.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code></code></pre>
<h4>4. After 1 - 4 steps, how the page looks like</h4>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1458968917/vetiqfmu4mizsfyolm2h.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Can I add my own Javascript file to Swagger API documents?</h3>
<p>
  You are able to do it as follows, assume you have a javascript file like this.
</p>
<p>1. Javascript</p>
<pre class="language-javascript"><code>(function () {
    function init() {

        console.info("init for my swagger function");

        $("#explore").click(function () {
            alert("you clicked explore");
        });
    }

    init();
})();</code></pre>
<h4>2. Javascript file location and Build Action Property</h4>
<pre class="language-javascript"><code>
</code></pre>
<h4>3. SwaggerConfig class</h4>
<p>set the javascript path as string type like following.</p>
<pre
  class="language-csharp"
><code>   var myAssembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(WebApiApplication));
   c.InjectJavaScript(myAssembly, "WebApplication2.js.swagger_test.js");
</code></pre>
<h4>4. Done, check the page</h4>
<p>
  When the page load, you can see the javascript console message, now you can
  add javascript to the page, my next question is can I change the default Html?
</p>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1458969860/h3novy9llbwau4kearez.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<h3>
  Now, we know we can change javascript, CSS, can we change the entire HTML?
</h3>
<p>
  Yes, and the main feature will still work if you use the swagger's existing
  javascript. Following is how we can do it.
</p>
<h4>1. Html Files</h4>
<p>
  This time I want to add two HTML, after creating these HTML you also have to
  change Build Action as Embedded Resource again.
</p>
<p>
  <img
    class="img-responsive"
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1458971711/evgs4ci6wclqwpqpirxg.png"
    alt=""
  />
</p>
<p>swagger_test.html</p>
<pre class="language-html"><code>&lt;h3&gt;Bomm!!!!&lt;/h3&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>OtherVersion.html</p>
<pre class="language-html"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;

<h3>2. SwaggerConfig for Html</h3>
<pre>
      c.CustomAsset("swagger_test", myAssembly, "WebApplication2.html.swagger_test.html");
                        c.CustomAsset("OtherVersion", myAssembly, "WebApplication2.html.OtherVersion.html");
</pre>
<h3>3. That's it, let's check the browser.</h3>
<p>
  Now, you're going to ask a question, what's the URL. I didn't figure it out at
  the first, but look like Swagger is using the file name as the URL. Since
  their default page is /swagger/ui/index, so my new files' URL will be
  <code>/swagger/ui/OtherVersion</code> and
  <code>/swagger/ui/swagger_test</code>
</p>
<p>
  Following is one of my new pages, OtherVersion. Isn't this so sweet? As a
  developer when you use other UI Framework if you can replace CSS, Javascript
  and HTML but keep their original logic. That's just fantastic.

</p>
<h3>Add .NET XML comment for swagger's API description</h3>
<p>
  ASP.NET WebAPI's default API helper document also looks for DLL's XML comment
  for description. We can do that in swagger too.
</p>
<h4>1. Project property</h4>
<p>
  The first thing you need to do is go to the project that contains the API
  controller to check the XML documentation file, so when building the solution
  visual studio will update the XML with comments you add to the class. Also,
  swagger later will read the XML's comment as a description of the API too.
</p>
<p>

    alt=""
  />
</p>
<h4>2. SwaggerConfig setting</h4>
<p>
  The next important thing is, swagger has not registered the API XML, you can
  add it as follows.
</p>
<pre
  class="language-csharp"
><code> c.IncludeXmlComments(string.Format(@"{0}\bin\APIDemo.XML", System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory));
</code></pre>
<p>
  Following are examples of the WebAPI controller and the API Model class' XML
  document.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>/// &lt;summary&gt;
    /// my product
    /// &lt;/summary&gt;
    public class Product
    {
        /// &lt;summary&gt;
        /// product id
        /// &lt;/summary&gt;
        public Guid GuidId { get; set; }
        /// &lt;summary&gt;
        /// product Id

<h4>3. Done! Let's browser the API Document</h4>
<p>
  Now, we're done, after building the solution, you should see your XML comment
  add to the Csharp class at the Swagger API documentation page.

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>
  Swagger with ASP.NET MVC will provide very powerful API documentation and it
  is very flexible.

How to Setup and Customize Swagger with ASP.NET MVC


<p>This will make the url to always go to Home Controller's Index action.</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
  routes.MapRoute(
                "AllUrl",
                "{*url}",
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
            );
</code></pre>
<p>
  This route will catch all the url, but if you have any other url you need to
  define before this one. For example, you want to define following test url.So
  when url hit /test, then will go to home/test action.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
   routes.MapRoute(
               "TestRouteName",
               "test",
               new { controller = "Home", action = "test" }
           );

  routes.MapRoute(
                "AllUrl",
                "{*url}",
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
            );
</code></pre>


ASP.NET Route All Url Go to Single Action


<h2>ASP.NET MVC's <code>OutputCache</code></h2>
<h3>1. Permanently store cache on client and server</h3>
<p>
  Following example code, permanently cache page on client and server means once
  browser loads the page the page will remain on the page forever unless server
  rebuild, since cache on the server another agent will use the same server
  cache version as well. This is good for static resource and the resource won't
  change until server rebuild.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp">
[OutputCache(Duration =int.MaxValue)]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
</pre>
<h6>max-age</h6>
<p>
  The code above will response as following, the key here is
  <code>max-age</code> (in seconds). As you can see it means the page will keep
  a cache for a year.
</p>
<p>
  This <strong>Client Cache</strong> will not work if either user type,<code
    >F5</code
  >
  or open developer console and check the.<code>disable cache</code>
  Otherwise, the browser will use the cached version from a client machine.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml">
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Cache-Control: public, max-age=31535986
Expires: Sun, 01 Jul 2018 06:37:30 GMT
Last-Modified: Sat, 01 Jul 2017 06:37:30 GMT
Vary: *
Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2017 06:37:43 GMT
</pre>
<p>
  The client will store the cache on the machine, for example, Chrome will store
  the cached version at the following location.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml">
{YourPCsLoginUser}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
</pre>
<h2>2. Permanently store cache on client</h2>
<pre
  class="language-csharp"
>[OutputCache(Duration = int.MaxValue, Location = System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.Client)]
public ActionResult About()
{
return View();
}<br /><br /></pre>
<h2>3. Use Cache profile</h2>
<p>
  Instead of define cache at C#, you could add at Web.Config. The good to add to
  config is that you can modify the change without involving deployment.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml">
  &lt;system.web&gt; 
   &lt;caching&gt;
      &lt;outputCacheSettings&gt;
         &lt;outputCacheProfiles&gt;
            &lt;add name="MyCacheProfile" duration="30" location="Client"/&gt;
        &lt;/outputCacheProfiles&gt;
      &lt;/outputCacheSettings&gt;
    &lt;/caching&gt;
&lt;/system.web&gt;
</pre>
<p>
  After defined at Web.Config, you can use the MVC action as follows. It is
  better to use at config if you use the common function and might change later.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp">
   [OutputCache(CacheProfile="MyProfile")]
        public ActionResult Test(int id)
        {
            return View();
        }
</pre>

<h2>Errors</h2>
<p>
  You might have seemed something like following, your ASP.NET MVC solution
  build ok but getting error following compiler error when deploying to IIS
  local site or cloud web server. First, you know you have C# 6 or higher at
  your application, but not sure why it causes compile error during runtime. I
  have to spend some time to figure out what happens&nbsp;in my case, so I've
  added what I found out at here so hopefully, it is able to help someone else.
</p>

error CS1562: Outputs without source must have the /out option specified
</code>
</pre>
<h2>Compilers</h2>
<p>
  It is confusing but .NET development has few different .NET compile exist, the
  compiler is,<code>csc.exe</code> but there's few different version. There are
  followings.
</p>
<ul>
  <li>.NET Framework's <code>csc.exe</code></li>
  <ul>
    <li>
      For example, .NET 4.6 located here.
      <code>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe</code>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <li>Visual Studio <code>csc.exe</code></li>
  <ul>
    <li>
      Visual Studio 2013 located here.
      <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\csc.exe</code>
    </li>
    <li>
      Visual Studio 2015 located here.&nbsp;<code
        >C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\csc.exe</code
      >
    </li>
  </ul>
  <li>Roslyn's <code>csc.exe (example below use 1.0.0)</code></li>
  <ul>
    <li>
      Roslyn inside application bin folder, for example,
      <code>/bin/roslyn/csc.exe</code>
    </li>
  </ul>
</ul>
<p>
  So I think that's all the compiler in a different place so far and
  unfortunately, the version of the CSC<span style="font-family: monospace"
    >.EXE</span
  >&nbsp;are different. If they're all the same version I don't think I will see
  the error compiler C# 6 using C# 5 compiler.
</p>
<p>In summary, following are the different version when I checked it out.</p>
<ul>
  <li>.NET Framework's csc.exe - version 4.7.2556.0</li>
  <li>Visual Studio 2013 - version 12.0.21005.1</li>
  <li>Visual Studio 2015 - 1.3.1.60616</li>
  <li>Roslyn (1.0.0) - 1.0.0.50618</li>
</ul>

</pre>
<p>
  That's why when I build the solution with Visual Studio 2015 is fine because
  it is using different csc.exe, but see error sometimes when deploying to local
  IIS or cloud. Also, ASP.NET MVC razor use a different compiler than C#, for
  example, if you have the code as following, target framework is 4.6 and you're
  not using Roslyn. This will also be built is fine, but when deploying to local
  you'll see compiler error.
</p>
<pre class="language-xml"><code>
@model WebApplication1.Models.MyModel
@if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Model.Test?.ToLower()))
{

}
</code>
</pre>
<h2>Roslyn</h2>
<p>
  Looks like things are moving to use&nbsp;<code>Roslyn</code>&nbsp;so make sure
  these two NuGet packages are available at your solution.
  <code>Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform</code>,.<code
    >Microsoft.Net.Compilers. Also, make sure webconfig changes.</code
  >&nbsp;Roslyn should be able to decide what version is good for your
  solution.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
  It should be simple just add following Nuget Package, but just make sure
  WebConfig is updated, sometimes&nbsp;I have the issue, WebConfig is updated on
  local but IIS site's WebConfig is not updated, so end up not using Roslyn but
  using .NET Framework's CSC.exe compiler.
</p>
<h3>NuGet packages</h3>
<ol>
  <li>Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform</li>
  <li>Microsoft.Net.Compilers</li>
</ol>

<h2>About IIS Rewrite Module</h2>
<p>
  First if you want to use it, you have to
  <a
    href="https://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=urlrewrite2"
    target="_blank"
    >download </a
  >and install to your web server. It is support IIS7, IIS7.5, IIS 8, IIS 8.5,
  IIS 10. List of features include, Rules-based Url rewriting engine, Wildcard
  pattern matching,and to check more see
  <a href="http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite" target="_blank"
    >here</a
  >.
</p>
<p>
  At this blog, I'll show a case as you want to direct as following scenario.
</p>
<p>If use type following url</p>
<ul>
  <li>http://www.example.com</li>
  <li>http://example.com</li>
  <li>https://www.example.com</li>
  <li>https://example.com</li>
</ul>
<p>Will go to <code>https://example.com</code></p>
<p>Anyway, following is the code you need to add to <code>web.config.</code></p>
<pre class="language-javascript"><code>
&lt;rule name="example.com HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true"&gt;
  &lt;match url=".*" /&gt;
  &lt;conditions&gt;

How to use IIS Rewrite module for redirect from http to https.

Use IIS Url Rewrite Module to Redirect from Http to Https


<pre><code class="language-aspnet">  &lt;system.web&gt;
    &lt;authentication mode="Windows" /&gt;
    &lt;authorization&gt;
      &lt;deny users="?" /&gt;
    &lt;/authorization&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Above is simple syntax for setup windows authentication at web.config.</p>
<p>
  At your IIS site, you also need to change things, you'll need to go to your
  IIS site and select Authentication, you should been see Windows
  Authentication. If there's no Windows Authentication then you need to install.
  You need to also turn Anonymous Anthentication off.
</p>
<p>
  That's should be all of it, but you might seen something that when you hit the
  site it'll keep asking the user and password. Although you enter the correct
  user and password, it'll ask again.
</p>
<p>So, I searched at stackoverflow, following answer resolve my issue.</p>

  This blog shows how to create a HelloWorld module to Orchard, ASP.NET MVC open
  source application, also how to add the module as role at create role page.
</p>
<p>
  <img

    alt=""
    width="408"
    height="231"
  /><img
    src="https://d1p0mp3f1fx0hz.cloudfront.net/_7munrpija.png"
    alt=""
    width="419"
    height="167"
  />
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>
  First you need to download Orchard, following is the greate blog get you
  start, it has more detail information of how to create HelloWorld then this
  blog.
</p>
<p>
  <a
    href="http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Building-a-hello-world-module"
    target="_blank"
    >HelloWorld Orchard</a
  >
</p>
<p>
  After you download the source code, you can just build and start web
  application as&nbsp;Orchard.Web, then that's it you can start your web
  application now.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
  Base on the above Orchard Hello document, you can create the scafold project
  by type following command.
</p>
<pre class="language-javascript"><code>Orchard.Web\bin&gt;orchard.exe
orchard&gt; codegen module HelloWorld
orchard&gt; feature enable HelloWorld<br />
</code></pre>
<p>
  If you add controller and view like following, then your first HelloWorld is
  finished.
</p>
<p>
  <img
    src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1409121218/m7mdilk998cpd0bbmwgp.png"
    alt=""
    width="533"
    height="628"
  />
</p>
<p>
  To enable permission, you need to create Permissions file
  imprement,&nbsp;IPermissionProvider, then Orchard framework is going to inject
  that&nbsp;IPermissionProvider to generate the actual logic.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
using Orchard.Environment.Extensions.Models;
using Orchard.Security.Permissions;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace HelloWorld
{
    public class Permissions : IPermissionProvider
    {
        public static readonly Permission SetHomePage = new Permission { Description = "Set Accounting Page", Name = "SetHomePage" };

        public virtual Feature Feature { get; set; }

        public IEnumerable GetPermissions()
        {
            return new[] {
                SetHomePage
            };
        }

        public IEnumerable GetDefaultStereotypes()
        {
            return new[] {
                new PermissionStereotype {
                    Name = "Administrator",
                    Permissions = new[] {SetHomePage}
                },
                new PermissionStereotype {
                    Name = "Editor",
                    Permissions = new[] {SetHomePage}
                }
            };
        }

    }
}<br /><br />You also need to add new module to database<br /><img src="https://d1p0mp3f1fx0hz.cloudfront.net/_oc4aff003.png" alt="" width="661" height="795" /><br /><br />After everything is finished, you will notice at the Add ROle view, your HelloWorld module been added. <br /><img src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dmwrakaup/image/upload/v1409121479/ainvoqpagqcukngkjmsm.png" alt="" width="666" height="298" /><br /><br />Simple, isn't it!?<br /><br /></code></pre>

    >
  </li>
</ul>
<h3>Get Ninject Library</h3>
<p>
  Last update is Sunday, January 4, 2015, looks like no one update/maintain it
  anymore...
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
Install-Package Ninject -Version 3.2.2
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Interface</h3>
<p>
  In C# for using Dependency Injection, you'll define your interface and class
  which will implement this interface. Once you defined interface and bind the
  relation via Ninject, then you could use this interface at other layer or same
  layer and without knowing what's the detail implementation about the specific
  interface.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
namespace NinjectConstructorInjectionWeb
{
    public interface ISamurai
    {
        string GetData();
    }
}
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Class</h3>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
namespace NinjectConstructorInjectionWeb
{
    public class Samurai : ISamurai
    {
        public string GetData()
        {
            return "my data";
        }
    }
}
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Dependency Resolve class in Ninject</h3>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Ninject.Syntax;
using Ninject;

namespace NinjectConstructorInjectionWeb
{
    public class NinjectDependencyResolver : IDependencyResolver
    {
        private readonly IResolutionRoot _resolutionRoot;

        public NinjectDependencyResolver(IResolutionRoot kernel)
        {
            _resolutionRoot = kernel;
        }

        public object GetService(Type serviceType)
        {
            return _resolutionRoot.TryGet(serviceType);
        }

        public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type serviceType)
        {
            return _resolutionRoot.GetAll(serviceType);
        }
    }
}
</object></code></pre>
<h3>Set up Ninject Dependency in application Global Class</h3>
<p>
  By using Ninject, you could either setup binding as following, or setup
  binding as each module by inherict from <code>NinjectModule</code> class.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
 protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);


            // setting for Ninject
            IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel();

            kernel.Bind&lt;ISamurai&gt;().To&lt;Samurai&gt;();

            DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new NinjectDependencyResolver(kernel));
        }
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Setup Ninject Dependency in Ninject Module</h3>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
 public  class  MyModule  : NinjectModule 
     {
         public  override  void  Load()
         {
             Bind&lt;ISamurai&gt;().To&lt;Samurai &gt;()
                 .WithConstructorArgument("kernel" , this .Kernel);
         }
     }
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Use Ninject Dependency in ASP.NET MVC Controller</h3>
<p>
  The beauty of doing Depenency Injection in ASP.NET MVC controller is by
  passing the interface to the contructor of the MVC controller. User/Client
  don't need to know about the interface's logic.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
private readonly ISamurai _samurai;
public HomeController(ISamurai samurai)
{      
    _samurai = samurai;
}

public ActionResult Test()
{
    // you should see "my data" here.
    ViewBag.Hi = _samurai.Attach();
    return View();
}
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Unit test in Ninject + ASP.NET MVC App</h3>
<p>
  Another important thing with Dependency Inject in Ninject is, UnitTest.
  Because everything is interface, you could setup different data at UnitTest to
  test your actual logic.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
   [TestMethod ]
         public  void  Product()
         {
 			  ISamurai  testService = new  Samurai();
 
 			  HomeController  controller = new  HomeController (testService);
 
            controller.Product();
         }
</code>
</pre>
<h3>Mocking data in Unit Test - Ninject + Moq</h3>
<p>
  Use Ninject + Moq + Unit Test, so you can mock the temp data to the interface
  and pass to your controller.
</p>
<pre class="language-csharp"><code>
   public  static  IProductBzService  GetProductService()
         {
             Mock  mock = new  Mock ();
             mock.SetupGet(x =&gt; x.Id).Returns(1);
             mock.SetupGet(x =&gt; x.Name).Returns("test name" );
             mock.SetupGet(x =&gt; x.Price).Returns(11.11m);
             mock.SetupGet(x =&gt; x.Unit).Returns(2);
             mock.Setup(x =&gt; x.Total()).Returns(999.999m);
 
             return  mock.Object;
         }
</code>
</pre>
<h3>In conlusion</h3>
<p>
  Ninject is cool C# .NET library for dependency injection, about couple years
  ago. looks like no one update it anymore, I would think this will be a legacy
  Denepencey Injection Library in the future.
</p>
<h3>What's my other choice for Dependency in .NET?</h3>
<p>
  I would recommand use
  <a href="https://github.com/autofac/Autofac/wiki" target="_blank">Autofac</a>,
  it is well document, support different .NET library, such as ASP.NET Web
  Forms, MVC, WebAPI 1, WebAPI 2, Signal R, RIA, OWIN, WCF, MEF, NHibernate,
  Moq.
</p>
<ol>
  <li>Autofac</li>
  <li>Castle Windsor</li>
  <li>StructureMap</li>
  <li>Spring.NET</li>
  <li>Unity</li>
  <li>Puzzle.NFactory</li>
  <li>Ninject</li>
  <li>S2Container.NET</li>
