ASP.NET Object Model
Sending data based on simple decisions may either be dynamic or active.
A dynamic content is generated on the server and sent to client.
While active content interacts with the user in real time.
Visitors to the web site are passive receptors of information.
Their only control over the information path they follow is defined by the links they click in the pages.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 7 of 79
ASP.NET Object Model
Traditionally, a web browser communicates with
web server through forms, a method whereby
information was sent to a server side program.
The program could then examine this information
and produce a new HTML document to be sent back
to the client who has initiated the request.
Alternatively, the page might contain hyperlinks that
include information about the user’s selections.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 8 of 79
Design Model The ASP.NET is a lot more structured technology
than ASP.
Here the complete ancestral line of every single class/ Property can be traced back to its origin.
The ASP.NET intrinsic objects are available to the Page Class by virtue of inheritance from a namespace called “System.Web”.
Every intrinsic ASP.NET object maps to a class provided by System.Web namespace which supplies classes and interfaces that enable browser/server communication. System.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects

Design Model
Web also includes classes for cookie manipulation, file transfer, exception information, and output cache control.
The ASP.NET core engine provides six built-in objects that we can use in our server programs.
These objects are made available to us in form of properties of the Page class.
These objects can be directly accessed with the Object name eg. Response.write(“Hello”), it is equivalent to writing Page.Response.Write(“Hello”)
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 10 of 79
Design Model
The ASP.NET built-in objects have their own properties and methods.
There are some important concepts to note when using the model as offered by ASP.NET.
First, multiple applications can run on the same server.
An application consists of a set of script files, HTML documents, images etc. and all stored in the virtual directory.
This is called virtual mapping.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 11 of 79
Request Object
The Server is always passive in a client-server environment.
When the client sends a request for a URL, at this time the server traps the data sent by the client with help of the Request object and responds by sending the requested page to the client’s browser.
The Request object provides the developer all the information about the user’s request to the site or application on the server.
It enables type-safe browser to server communication.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 12 of 79
Request Object
Any information sent by the browser to the server can be retrieved by Request object.
The Request object’s Form collection is used to store the information provided by the user in a web page.
The Request objects provide various collections (such as QueryString, Form etc.), methods and properties.
A collection is a data structure, rather like an array (but it is more powerful), which can store values by linking each one to a unique key.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 13 of 79
Properties and Methods
Request object provides set of properties that store a
variety of information.
All the values are read-only, and the information is
just copy of the request made by the browser.
We will now discuss some of the properties.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 14 of 79
QueryString Collection
QueryString is a collection of QueryString variables.
It is populated when the method for a form is GET or the values are appended to the URL as a query string.
There are basically two ways that the browser can send specific information to the server.
The information can come from FORM section (<FORM> tag) on the page using POST method or can be appended directly to the end of URL as a query string using GET method.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 15 of 79
QueryString Collection
Let’s make an example
Design the form as shown below.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 16 of 79
QueryString Collection
Now click on the HTML view and set the method
attribute of the form tag to “Get” (it s Post by
default).
Set the visible property of the table to false in the
page load event by writing the following code.
Table1.visible=false
Write the following code in button1_Click event
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 17 of 79
Dim usrName As String
Dim usrPwd As String
usrName = Request.QueryString("txtName")
usrPwd = Request.QueryString("txtPwd")
Table1.Rows(0).Cells(0).Text = "Name"
Table1.Rows(0).Cells(1).Text = "Password"
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(0).Text = usrName
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(1).Text = usrPwd
Table1.Visible = True
QueryString Collection
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 18 of 79
QueryString Collection
Save and Run the project to get the following output.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 19 of 79
Form Collection
This is a second way of sending data from the
browser to the server.
Instead of using GET in the method attribute of
form, we can use POST method.
Using POST method, buries the information inside
the HTTP header rather than adding it to the URL as
a query string.
This is the default method which is used by VB.NET
web forms.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 20 of 79
Form Collection
Lets us see now with an example how we capture
the data using Form collection of Request object:
In the form that you created for the previous
example make the following changes:-
In the HTML view change the method back to
“Post”.
In the button1_click event write the following
code (please note that only the collection name has
changed)
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 21 of 79
Dim usrName As String
Dim usrPwd As String
usrName = Request.Form("txtName")
usrPwd = Request.Form("txtPwd")
Table1.Rows(0).Cells(0).Text = "Name"
Table1.Rows(0).Cells(1).Text = "Password"
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(0).Text = usrName
Table1.Rows(1).Cells(1).Text = usrPwd
Table1.Visible = True
Form Collection
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 22 of 79
Form Collection
Save and Run the project.
You will notice that the output is just the same except for the URL.
When this page is submitted, the names and values of the text boxes are encoded into the request header, and there is no sign of them in the browser’s address box.
This time in the second file (given below), the values of the request can’t be accessed through QueryString collection.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 23 of 79
ServerVariables Collection
ServerVariables collection exposes a collection of
various server variables, which are used to extract
information sent from the client.
This collection has little to do with the client
request, much of the information that we worked
with the other collections actually originates from it.
Any HTTP header sent by the client browser is
available in this collection and we can view
information through ASP.NET code like this:
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 24 of 79
ServerVariables Collection variable =
Request.ServerVariables(“HeaderType”)
This variable now contains the value of the Header as passed by us in the ServerVariables collection as a parameter.
We can now either display this value or apply some business logic based on the information available.
The standard HTTP headers are automatically defined as members of the ServerVariables collection.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 25 of 79
ServerVariables Collection
For example if we want to know the method using which form data is sent to the server, we could use the following line of code:
<% =
Request.ServerVariables(“REQUEST_METHOD”)
%>
This will return the method either GET or POST, depending on how data were sent from the browser.
We can also use QUERY_STRING header to obtain the original unadulterated query string that was pass to the server from the client browser.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 26 of 79
ServerVariables Collection
There is a list available of the HTTP headers, which
are available in the ServerVariables collection.
Let’s understand this with help of an example.
Open a new web form and write the following code
in the Page_Load event.
Dim x As String
Response.Write("<table border=2>")
For Each x In Request.ServerVariables
Response.Write("<tr><td>")
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 27 of 79
Response.Write("<br> " & x & "</td><td>“
&Request.ServerVariables(x))
Response.Write("</tr>")
Next
Response.Write("</table>")
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables.Count)
Save and Run the project and all the ServerVariables
are displayed with their values.

Response Object
Response object is used to send information and the output of scripts to the browser.
It is also used to control the execution of the script.
The Response object handles all the data and messages that we want to send back to the browser.
Response object implements only one collection (Cookies).
There are other properties and methods available with the help of which we can manipulate with Response object.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 30 of 79
Write Method
The Write method inserts a string into the HTML stream that the browser receives.
Response.Write(“Welcome to site” &
strValue)
Let’s see this with the help of example that displays some text in a loop.
Open a new web form and write the following code in the Page_load event.
Dim x As Integer
Response.Write("<center>")
For x = 1 To 6
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 31 of 79
Write Method Response.Write("<H" & x & ">")
Response.Write("Response")
Response.Write("</H>")
Next
Response.Write("</center>")
Save and run the project a text “Response” is displayed 6 times. But every time the output will be different as it will be displayed with the heading tag in the decrement order. The output of the above code will be as follows:
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects

Write Method
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 33 of 79
Redirect Method
A particular useful example of Response object is redirect, which we can use to refer to other web page.
When the user loads a page that specifies a redirection, his or her browser loads a new page, which is been specified in the redirect method.
Depending on the contents of the ASP.NET file itself, the actual redirection can occur as soon as redirection line is interpreted by ASP.NET core engine.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 34 of 79
Redirect Method
One of the things that a client can receive is a redirection header, which tells the browser to get the information elsewhere.
The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser by the IIS.
We must do any HTTP header modification before writing page content because it must be done before IIS begins sending content.
Let us understand the working of the Response.Redirect method with help of an example.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 35 of 79
Redirect Method
Design a page as shown below:
Put both Radio Buttons in the same group by
providing same name in the GroupName property.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 36 of 79
Redirect Method
Write the following code in the button1_Click event
If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
Response.Redirect("http://localhost/locat
ions/delhi.htm")
Else
Response.Redirect("http://localhost/locat
ions/mumbai.htm")
End If
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 37 of 79
Redirect Method
Save and run the project. Select one of the options,
say “Delhi” and click on the button “Go…”.The
Delhi page will open in the browser window.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 38 of 79
Cookies
Cookie is a file used to store data on the client’s system.
The web server inserts small piece of information into these files.
In other words, a cookie is a packet of information sent by browser to the server with each request.
The cookie is stored as a file on the client machine, which means that it can be used to store information that is available the next time browser starts.
Data items within each cookie are available in the Cookies Collection.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 39 of 79
Cookies
You can access cookies in the same way you access
QueryString and Form collection in Request object.
Cookies are written using Response object and are
accessed through Request object in this case these
are read-only since the information they represent is
actually held on the client browser and not the
server.
Cookies can also be changed using Response object.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 40 of 79
Cookies Base Class
Cookies also find a representation in System.Web
namespace.
The hierarchy is as follows:
Let us understand this with an example:
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 41 of 79
Cookies Base Class
Design the page as shown in the figure.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 42 of 79
Cookies Base Class
Write the following code in the Click event of btnCreate button control.
Dim MyCookie As New
HttpCookie("LastVisitedOn")
MyCookie.Value = CStr(DateTime.Now())
Response.Cookies.Add(MyCookie)
Write the following code in the Click event of btnFetch button control.
Dim i As Integer
Dim arr() As String
Dim CookieColl As HttpCookieCollection
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 43 of 79
Dim Cookie As HttpCookie
CookieColl = Request.Cookies
arr = CookieColl.AllKeys
For i = 0 To arr.GetUpperBound(0)
Cookie = CookieColl(arr(i))
Response.Write("Cookie: " & Cookie.Name &
"<br>")
Response.Write("Value: " & Cookie.Value &
"<br>")
Next
Cookies Base Class
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 44 of 79
Cookies Base Class
Save and run the project to see the following output.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 45 of 79
Cookies Base Class
In this example when you click on the “Create
Cookie” button, it creates a cookie by creating an
instance of “HttpCookie” class and passing the name
of cookie in its constructor.
After this we set the value of the cookie by setting
the “value” property of this class.
Finally the cookie is added to the cookies collection
using the “Response.Cookies.Add()”
method.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 46 of 79
Server object
The Server object provides a number of methods that are used to carry out routine tasks while processing the page.
Such as converting strings into the format for use in HTML, or creating instances of COM components on the Server.
The Server object is implemented in ASP.NET by the HttpServerUtility class which is found in System.Web namespace.
Let us understand some of the properties in details:
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 47 of 79
ScriptTimeOut
ScriptTimeout property is set by default to 90
seconds, a long time for the user to be staring at the
screen waiting for something to happen.
We can read and change the timeout period using
ScriptTimeout property.
Given below is the way in which we can handle this
property.
<% Server.ScriptTimeout= 10 %>
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 48 of 79
HTMLEncode and URLEncode
ASP.NET provides two very useful methods to encode your strings, which you wish to send to the server with the URL of the page.
Let’s take a look at an example.
We want to display the following string.
StrText = “This is a <this>” & name & “
to check error”;
To display this string as part of the page, rather then having it to execute on the server, we have to replace the angle brackets with an escape sequence that the browser can understand.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 49 of 79
HTMLEncode and URLEncode
Two escape sequences are < and > which produces < and > symbols.
We have a method in server object HtmlEncode, which takes a string of text and converts any illegal characters contained in it, to its appropriate HTML escape sequence.
For example to produce the text <table> on our page, without this string being interpreted as an opening table tag, we could use this method.
Response.Write(Server.HTMLEncode
(“This is example of <table> tag”))
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 50 of 79
HTMLEncode and URLEncode
There is another method called URLEncode which is far more refined than this and does all the encoding and decoding of the string or the URL passes to it.
This method takes a string of information and converts it into URL-encode form rather than HTML.
All the spaces are replaced by + symbol and certain other characters which hold a special meaning to the QueryString are replaced by percent signs combined with their ANSI equivalents in hexadecimal.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 51 of 79
HTMLEncode and URLEncode
URLEncode can translate a string into a correct
format for use in a QueryString.
If we are creating hyperlinks in our code, we can use
URLEncode to ensure that they are correctly
formatted:
Response.Write(server.URLEncode
(“http//localhost/first/display.asp
x?color=blue”))
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 52 of 79
HTMLDecode and URLDecode
These methods decode the encoded string or the
URL to its original form.
Let us understand this with help of an example.
Design the web form as shown.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 53 of 79
HTMLDecode and URLDecode
Write the following line in click event of Encode button
lblEncode.Text =
Server.UrlEncode(TextBox1.Text)
Write the following line in click event of Decode button
lblDecode.Text =
Server.UrlDecode(TextBox1.Text)
Save and run the project. Now try with various URLs.

Session Object
A session is said to begin when a user logs-on to a site and finishes when he logs-off.
Session is dedicated data storage for each user within an ASP.NET application.
It stores data in Key-value combinations.
A variable declared with session scope will remain visible to all the pages of a web site.
Each user will have a different set of session variable with them thus the state of the user can be maintained.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 56 of 79
Session Object
In ASP.NET, sessions can be maintained even
without cookies (though the default mode is still
with cookies – this is achieved with Cookieless
property of the session object).
Session state is maintained in ASP.NET with help of
HttpSessionState class which is found in
System.Web namespace.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 57 of 79
Session Variables
A session variable is declared and initialized as follows :
Session(“UsrName”) = txtName.Text
This declares a variable “UsrName” this variable takes the values of the textbox that accepts the name of the user.
This variable will hold a different value for each user.
This helps us in customizing the pages of our website according to the values entered by the user.
Here is an example:
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 58 of 79
Session Variables
Design the Web form as shown
Write the following code in the Click of the button
Session("UsrName") = txtName.Text
Response.Redirect("WebForm2.aspx")
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 59 of 79
Session Variables
Add another web form (as WebForm2.aspx) in the
project and write the following code in the
Page_Load event.
Response.Write("<H1> You are
welcome " & Session("UsrName") &
"</H1>")
Save and run the project.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 60 of 79
Session Variables
Enter your name in the text box (txtName) and click
on the button.This will fire the code in button1_click
event handler and store your name in the session
variable and redirect to another page.See that the
second page is able to access the session variable
value and customize accordingly.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 61 of 79
Application Object
This object is also used to maintain state in the web.
When you want a variable to be accessible to all the
page of your Web Site and to all the users, declare
the variable as an Application variable.
The difference between the Session and Application
object is that an Application variable is visible to all
the users i.e., there is only one set for all the users.
If one updates it, it will be updated for all others.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 62 of 79
Application Object
ASP.NET application state handling is implemented by the HttpApplicationState Class which is found in the System.Web namespace
An instance of an HttpApplicationState class is created the first time a client requests any URL resource from within a particular ASP.NET application virtual directory.
A separate instance is created for each ASP.NET application on a Web server.
A reference to each instance is then exposed through the intrinsic Application object.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 63 of 79
Application Variables
It is a variable, which is declared with an application
scope is visible throughout the web site.
Declaring an Application variable is very simple:
Application(“HitCounter”)=0
This code declares a variable named “HitCounter”.
Ideal place for declaration of such variable is
global.asax file in the Application_onStart event
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 64 of 79
Application Variables
Updating an Application variable:
Application.Lock()
Application(“HitCounter”)=Applicati
on(“HitCounter”)+1
Application.Unlock()
Here we are Locking the variable so that we have an
exclusive access to it and after updating the lock is
released by unlock method.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 65 of 79
Global.asax
The Global.asax file, also known as the ASP.NET
application file, is a file that contains code for
responding to application-level events raised by
ASP.NET.
This file resides in the root directory of an
ASP.NET-based application.
At run time, Global.asax is parsed and compiled into
a dynamically generated .NET Framework class
derived from the HttpApplication base class.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 66 of 79
Global.asax
The Global.asax file itself is configured so that any direct URL request for it is automatically rejected, it is very interesting to know that external users cannot download or view the code written within it.
You can create a Global.asax file either in a WYSIWYG designer such as Visual Studio.NET or in a notepad.
The Global.asax file is optional.
If you do not define the file, the ASP.NET page framework assumes that you have not defined any application or session event handlers.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 67 of 79
Global.asax
When you save changes to an active Global.asax file, the ASP.NET page framework detects that the file has been changed.
It completes all current requests for the application, sends the Application_OnEnd event to any listeners, and restarts the application domain.
When the next incoming request from a browser arrives, the ASP.NET page framework re-parses and recompiles the Global.asax file and raises the Application_OnStart event.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 68 of 79
Application and Session Events in
Global.asax In addition to page and control events, the ASP.NET
page framework provides ways for you to work with events that can be raised when your application starts or stops or when an individual user's session starts or stops:
Application events are raised for all requests to an application.
Let us understand these events with help of an example which give you a greater understanding of the use and relevance of the Application and Session objects.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 69 of 79
Open the Global.asax file and click on “click here to switch to code view” hyperlink to go the code view.
Write the following line in Application_Start event.
Application ("hits") = 0
Write the following code in Session_start event.
Application.Lock()
Application("hits") =
Application("hits") + 1
Application.UnLock()
Application and Session Events in
Global.asax
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 70 of 79
Now open a web form and write the following line
in Page_Load event.
Response.Write("<H1> HITS = " &
Application("hits"))
Save and run the project three times. You will notice
that the number of hits increase in each user session.

Summary
Key points covered in this chapter are:
• ASP.NET object model enables us to collect information passed with the request so that we can use it in the script of the page we write.
• The ASP.NET Object Model provides us with various intrinsic objects, which have their own properties and methods.
• In ASP.NET each object is implemented internally by a base class and all the properties and methods of the base class.
• There objects available are Request, Response, Server, Session and Application.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 73 of 79
Summary
• These objects run on the server and are programmed using methods, properties and collections.
• Request object is used to gain access to the HTTP request data elements supplied by a client.
• Any information send by the browser to the server can be retrieved by Request object.
• QueryString is a collection of QueryString variables.
• QueryString is populated when the method for a form is GET or the values are appended to the URL as a query string.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 74 of 79
Summary • There are basically two ways that the browser can send
specific information to the server, POST method and GET method.
• Appending the query string to the end of the URL is a way GET method works.
• In QueryString, the amount of data we can send with the URL is limited to 1000 characters, as specified by the HTTP protocol specification.
• Using POST method buries the information inside the HTTP header rather than adding it to the URL as a query string.
• ServerVariables collection exposes a collection of various server variables, which are used to extract information send from the client.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects

Summary
• Response object is used to send information and the
output of scripts to the browser.
• Response object’s Write method inserts a string into the
HTML stream that the browser receives.
• Using Request.Redirect method we can send the user from
one page to another by giving the name of the page as a
parameter.
• A cookie is a packet of information sent by browser to the
server with each request.
• The server object provides a series of methods that are
used to carry out routines tasks while processing the page
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects

Summary
• HtmlEncode, which takes strings of text and converts any
illegal characters it contains to the appropriate HTML
escape sequence.
• URLEncode, but it takes a string of information and
converts it into URL-encode form rather than HTML.
• Session object is used to customize the pages according to
the data supplied by the user. It is implemented by using
Session variables.
• Each user has a unique SessionID.
• Every user has its own set of session variables.
ASP.NET Intrinsic Objects
Main Menu 77 of 79
Summary • In ASP.NET session object can be implemented even
without using cookies by setting the Cookieless property of the Session Object (this property was not available in ASP).
• Application object is used to declare and use those variables or objects that would be used throughout the web site and across users.
• Global.asax file contains various event handles and is a central place where every request comes before going to any page in the site
• Global.asax is a file which is the first file to execute be it starting of your Application or a user session or when a request comes or when you want to authenticate the credentials of user.
