COLLEGE WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT REPORT
Submitted by KARTHIK
ABSTRACT
A website is a collection of Web pages, images, videos and other digital assets that is hosted on one or
several Web server, usually accessible via the Internet, Mobile phone or a LAN.
The pages of websites can usually be accessed from a common root URL called the homepage, and
usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although the
hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows
between the different parts of the sites.
The college website has been developed using ASP.Net as the Front End and SQL Server as the Back
End. It follows the three tier architecture with C# for coding and ADO.Net providing the classes for database
connectivity.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT THE TOPIC
A website is a collection of Web pages, images, videos and other digital assets that is hosted on
one or several Web server, usually accessible via the Internet, cell phone or a LAN.
The pages of websites can usually be accessed from a common root URL called the homepage,
and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy,
although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how
the traffic flows between the different parts of the sites.
A website requires attractive design and proper arrangement of links and images, which enables
a browser to easily interpret and access the properties of the site. Hence it provides the browser with
adequate information and functionality about the organization, community, network etc.
1.2 ABOUT THE PROJECT

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
The website has been developed for our college (SNGCE) in an effort to make it as attractive
and dynamic as possible. Compared to the existing site a database has been added to our project.
The working of the project is as follows.
The first page provides several links. The Home page contains several information about the
site like campus, management, facilities, infrastructure etc.
User Login module helps the user to login to the site. For that he must type the username and
password correctly. The login provision in this page helps the already registered user to directly access
the site and there is a link for registration to a user who is new to this site.
Member Registration module helps the new user to register into the site. The information
entered by the users is added into the table registration.
In the Login link a recruiter can login using the appropriate Username and password, through
which he can submit the required criteria for a student to appear for a placement drive. He can also post
the number of vacancies that are available and the salary packages offered.
The flash news and the events corner display the latest developments, announcements and
events associated with the college activities.
The administrator has the responsibility for displaying the recruiters form on the notice board,
in response to which student can submit his willingness to attend the drive along with his resume.
CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
System analysis is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problems and
using the information to recommend improvements on the system. System analysis is a problem solving
activity that requires intensive communication between the system users and system developers.
System analysis or study is an important phase of any system development process. The system
is studied to the minutest detail and analyzed. The system analyst plays the role of an interrogator and
dwells deep into the working of the present system. The system is viewed as a whole and the inputs to
the system are identified. The outputs from the organization are traced through the various processing
that the inputs phase through in the organization.

A detailed study of these processes must be made by various techniques like Interviews,
Questionnaires etc. The data collected by these sources must be scrutinized to arrive to a conclusion.
The conclusion is an understanding of how the system functions. This system is called the existing
system. Now, the existing system is subjected to close study and the problem areas are identified. The
designer now functions as a problem solver and tries to sort out the difficulties that the enterprise faces.
The solutions are given as a proposal. The proposal is then weighed with the existing system
analytically and the best one is selected. The proposal is presented to the user for an endorsement by the
user. The proposal is reviewed on user request and suitable changes are made. This loop ends as soon as
the user is satisfied with the proposal.
2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing college website is static which makes it less interactive. It doesn't have a database
connectivity. Moreover students didn't have an access to the details of the college through the site,
hence they were not updated about the latest events and placement drives.
2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM
In order to make the site dynamic and more interactive we have tried to include a database link
to our college website. Hence the recruiters have been provided with the facility to post their eligibility
criteria, vacancies and salary packages. In response to which a student can submit his willingness to
appear for the drive along with his personal details. Provision has also been made to display the latest
events and announcements associated with the college online. We have developed our project using the
three tier architecture which uses the following languages.
2.4 FEATURES OF SOFTWARES
VISUAL STUDIO .NET EDITIONS
2.4.1 ASP.NET - FRONT END
ASP.NET is not just a simple upgrade or the latest version of ASP. ASP.NET combines
unprecedented developer productivity with performance, reliability, and deployment. ASP.NET
redesigns the whole process. It's still easy to grasp for new comers but it provides many new ways of
managing projects. Below are the features of ASP.NET.
•
Easy Programming Model
ASP.NET makes building real world Web applications dramatically easier. ASP.NET server
controls enable an HTML-like style of declarative programming that let you build great pages with far
less code than with classic ASP. Displaying data, validating user input, and uploading files are all
5

Students3k.com
Students3k.com
amazingly easy. Best of all, ASP.NET pages work in all browsers including Netscape, Opera, AOL, and
Internet Explorer.
•
Flexible Language Options
ASP.NET lets you leverage your current programming language skills. Unlike classic ASP,
which supports only interpreted VBScript and J Script, ASP.NET now supports more than 25 .NET
languages (built-in support for VB.NET, C#, and JScript.NET), giving us unprecedented flexibility in
the choice of language.
•
Great Tool Support
We can harness the full power of ASP.NET using any text editor, even Notepad. But Visual
Studio .NET adds the productivity of Visual Basic-style development to the Web. Now we can visually
design ASP.NET Web Forms using familiar drag-drop-double click techniques, and enjoy full-fledged
code support including statement completion and color-coding. VS.NET also provides integrated
support for debugging and deploying ASP.NET Web applications. The Enterprise versions of Visual
Studio .NET deliver life-cycle features to help organizations plan, analyze, design, build, test, and
coordinate teams that develop ASP.NET Web applications. These include UML class modeling,
database modeling (conceptual, logical, and physical models), testing tools (functional, performance
and scalability), and enterprise frameworks and templates, all available within the integrated Visual
Studio .NET environment.
•
Rich Class Framework
Application features that used to be hard to implement, or required a 3rd-party component, can
now be added in just a few lines of code using the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework offers over
4500 classes that encapsulate rich functionality like XML, data access, file upload, regular expressions,
image generation, performance monitoring and logging, transactions, message queuing, SMTP mail,
and much more. With Improved Performance and Scalability ASP.NET lets we use serve more users
with the same hardware.
•
Compiled execution
ASP.NET is much faster than classic ASP, while preserving the "just hit save" update model of
ASP. However, no explicit compile step is required. ASP.NET will automatically detect any changes,
dynamically compile the files if needed, and store the compiled results to reuse for subsequent requests.
Dynamic compilation ensures that the application is always up to date, and compiled execution makes it
fast. Most applications migrated from classic ASP see a 3x to 5x increase in pages served.
•
Rich output caching

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
ASP.NET output caching can dramatically improve the performance and scalability of the
application. When output caching is enabled on a page, ASP.NET executes the page just once, and
saves the result in memory in addition to sending it to the user. When another user requests the same
page, ASP.NET serves the cached result from memory without re-executing the page. Output caching is
configurable, and can be used to cache individual regions or an entire page. Output caching can
dramatically improve the performance of data-driven pages by eliminating the need to query the
database on every request.
•
Enhanced Reliability
ASP.NET ensures that the application is always available to the users.
•
Memory Leak, Dead Lock and Crash Protection
ASP.NET automatically detects and recovers from errors like deadlocks and memory leaks to
ensure our application is always available to our users. For example, say that our application has a small
memory leak, and that after a week the leak has tied up a significant percentage of our server's virtual
memory. ASP.NET will detect this condition, automatically start up another copy of the ASP.NET
worker process, and direct all new requests to the new process. Once the old process has finished
processing its pending requests, it is gracefully disposed and the leaked memory is released.
Automatically, without administrator intervention or any interruption of service, ASP.NET has
recovered from the error.
•
Easy Deployment
ASP.NET takes the pain out of deploying server applications. "No touch" application
deployment. ASP.NET dramatically simplifies installation of our application. With ASP.NET, we can
deploy an entire application as easily as an HTML page, just copy it to the server. No need to run
regsvr32 to register any components, and configuration settings are stored in an XML file within the
application.
•
Dynamic update of running application
ASP.NET now lets we update compiled components without restarting the web server. In the
past with classic COM components, the developer would have to restart the web server each time he
deployed an update. With ASP.NET, we simply copy the component over the existing DLL, ASP.NET
will automatically detect the change and start using the new code.
2.4.2 C#.NET - MIDDLE END

In brief, C#.NET a next generation of ASP (Active Server Pages) introduced by Microsoft.
Similar to previous server-side scripting technologies, C#.NET allows us to build powerful, reliable,
and scalable distributed applications. C#.NET is based on the Microsoft .NET framework and uses the
.NET features and tools to develop Web applications and Web services.
Even though C#.NET sounds like ASP and syntaxes are compatible with ASP but C#.NET is
much more than that. It provides many features and tools, which let you develop more reliable and
scalable, Web applications and Web services in less time and resources. Since C#.NET is a compiled,.
NET-based environment; we can use any .NET supported languages, including VB.NET, C#,
JScript.NET, and VBScript.NET to develop C#.NET applications.
2.4.3 SQL SERVER 2000 - BACK END
SQL Server 2000 exceeds dependability requirements and provides innovative capabilities that
increase employee effectiveness, integrate heterogeneous IT ecosystems, and maximize capital and
operating budgets. SQL Server 2000 provides the enterprise data management platform our
organization needs to adapt quickly in a fast-changing environment.
With the lowest implementation and maintenance costs in the industry, SQL Server 2000
delivers rapid return on the data management investment. SQL Server 2000 supports the rapid
development of enterprise-class business applications that can give our company a critical competitive
advantage.
Benchmarked for scalability, speed, and performance, SQL Server 2000 is a fully enterpriseclass database product, providing core support for Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Internet
queries.
• User-defined functions
SQL Server has always provided the ability to store and execute SQL code routines via stored
procedures. In addition, SQL Server has always supplied a number of built-in functions. Functions can
be used almost anywhere an expression can be specified in a query. This was one of the shortcomings
of stored procedures—they couldn't be used inline in queries in select lists, where clauses, and so on.
Perhaps we want to write a routine to calculate the last business day of the month. With a stored
procedure, we have to exec the procedure, passing in the current month as a parameter and returning the
value into an output variable, and then use the variable in our queries. If only we could write our own
function that we could use directly in the query just like a system function. In SQL Server 2000, we
have.

Indexed views
Views are often used to simplify complex queries, and they can contain joins and aggregate
functions. However, in the past, queries against views were resolved to queries against the underlying
base tables, and any aggregates were recalculated each time we ran a query against the view. In SQL
Server 2000 Enterprise or Developer Edition, we can define indexes on views to improve query
performance against the view. When creating an index on a view, the result set of the view is stored and
indexed in the database. Existing applications can take advantage of the performance improvements
without needing to be modified.
•
Distributed partitioned views
SQL Server 7.0 provided the ability to create partitioned views using the UNION ALL
statement in a view definition. It was limited, however, in that all the tables had to reside within the
same SQL Server where the view was defined. SQL Server 2000 expands the ability to create
partitioned views by allowing us to horizontally partition tables across multiple SQL Servers. The
feature helps to scale out one database server to multiple database servers, while making the data appear
as if it comes from a single table on a single SQL Server. In addition, partitioned views can now be
updated.
•
New datatypes
SQL Server 2000 introduces three new datatypes. Two of these can be used as datatypes for
local variables, stored procedure parameters and return values, user-defined function parameters and
return values, or table columns:
bigint—An 8-byte integer that can store values from -263 (-9223372036854775808) through 2631
(9223372036854775807).
sqlvariant—A variable-sized column that can store values of various SQL Server-supported
data types, with the exception of text, ntext, timestamp, and sqlvariant.
The third new datatype, the table datatype, can be used only as a local variable datatype within
functions, stored procedures, and SQL batches. The table datatype cannot be passed as a parameter to
functions or stored procedures, nor can it be used as a column datatype. A variable defined with the
table datatype can be used to store a result set for later processing. A table variable can be used in
queries anywhere a table can be specified.
•
Text in row data

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
In previous versions of SQL Server, text and image data was always stored on a separate page
chain from where the actual data row resided. The data row contained only a pointer to the text or image
page chain, regardless of the size of the text or image data. SQL Server 2000 provides a new text in row
table option that allows small text and image data values to be placed directly in the data row, instead of
requiring a separate data page. This can reduce the amount of space required to store small text and
image data values, as well as reduce the amount of I/O required to retrieve rows containing small text
and image data values.
•
Cascading ri constraints
In previous versions of SQL Server, referential integrity (RI) constraints were restrictive only.
If an insert, updates, or delete operation violated referential integrity, it was aborted with an error
message. SQL Server 2000 provides the ability to specify the action to take when a column referenced
by a foreign key constraint is updated or deleted. We can still abort the update or delete if related
foreign key records exist by specifying the NO ACTION option, or we can specify the new CASCADE
option, which will cascade the update or delete operation to the related foreign key records.
•
Multiple SQL server instances
Previous versions of SQL Server supported the running of only a single instance of SQL Server
at a time on a computer. Running multiple instances or multiple versions of SQL Server required
switching back and forth between the different instances, requiring changes in the Windows registry.
SQL Server 2000 provides support for running multiple instances of SQL Server on the same
system. This allows us to simultaneously run one instance of SQL Server 6.5 or 7.0 along with one or
more instances of SQL Server 2000. Each SQL Server instance runs independently of the others and has
its own set of system and user databases, security configuration, and so on. Applications can connect to
the different instances in the same way they connect to different SQL Servers on different machines.
•
XMLsupport
Extensible Markup Language has become a standard in Web-related programming to describe
the contents of a set of data and how the data should be output or displayed on a Web page. XML, like
HTML, is derived from the Standard Generalize Markup Language (SGML). When linking a Web
application to SQL Server, a translation needs to take place from the result set returned from SQL
Server to a format that can be understood and displayed by a Web application. Previously, this
translation needed to be done in a client application.
•
Log shipping

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
The Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2000 now supports log shipping, which we can use to
copy and load transaction log backups from one database to one or more databases on a constant basis.
This allows you to have a primary read/write database with one or more readonly copies of the database
that are kept synchronized by restoring the logs from the primary database. The destination database can
be used as a warm standby for the primary database, for which we can switch users over in the event of
a primary database failure. Additionally, log shipping provides a way to offload read-only query
processing from the primary database to the destination database.
2.4.4 ADO.NET - DATABASE CONNECTIVITY
Most applications need data access at one point of time making it a crucial component when
working with applications. Data access is making the application interact with a database, where all the
data is stored. Different applications have different requirements for database access. ASP.NET uses
ADO .NET (Active X Data Object) as it's data access and manipulation protocol which also enables us
to work with data on the Internet.
• ADO.NET Data Architecture
Data Access in ADO.NET relies on two components: DataSet and Data Provider.
1. DataSet
The dataset is a disconnected, in-memory representation of data. It can be considered as a local
copy of the relevant portions of the database. The DataSet is persisted in memory and the data in it can
be manipulated and updated independent of the database. When the use of this DataSet is finished,
changes can be made back to the central database for updating. The data in DataSet can be loaded from
any valid data source like Microsoft SQL server database, an Oracle database or from a Microsoft
Access database.
2. Data Provider
The Data Provider is responsible for providing and maintaining the connection to the database.
A DataProvider is a set of related components that work together to provide data in an efficient and
performance driven manner. The .NET Framework currently comes with two DataProviders: the SQL
Data Provider which is designed only to work with Microsoft's SQL Server 7.0 or later and the OleDb
DataProvider which allows us to connect to other types of databases like Access and Oracle. Each
DataProvider consists of the following component classes:
The Connection object which provides a connection to the database. The Command object
which is used to execute a command. The DataReader object which provides a forward-only, read only,
11
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
connected recordset. The DataAdapter object which populates a disconnected DataSet with data and
performs update.
• Data access with ADO.NET can be summarized as follows:
A connection object establishes the connection for the application with the database. The
command object provides direct execution of the command to the database. If the command returns
more than a single value, the command object returns a DataReader to provide the data. Alternatively,
the DataAdapter can be used to fill the Dataset object. The database can be updated using the command
object or the DataAdapter.
Fig 2.4.4.1 ADO.NET DATA ARCHITECTURE
• Component classes that make up the Data Providers
1. The Connection Object
The Connection object creates the connection to the database. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
provides two types of Connection classes: the SqlConnection object, which is designed specifically to
connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or later, and the OleDbConnection object, which can provide
connections to a wide range of database types like Microsoft Access and Oracle. The Connection object
contains all of the information required to open a connection to the database.
2. The Command Object
The Command object is represented by two corresponding classes: SqlCommand and
OleDbCommand. Command objects are used to execute commands to a database across a data
12
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
connection. The Command objects can be used to execute stored procedures on the database, SQL
commands, or return complete tables directly.
3. The DataReader Object
The DataReader object provides a forward-only, read-only, connected stream recordset from a
database. Unlike other components of the Data Provider, DataReader objects cannot be directly
instantiated. Rather, the DataReader is returned as the result of the Command object's ExecuteReader
method. The SqlCommand.ExecuteReader method returns a SqlDataReader object, and the
OleDbCommand.ExecuteReader method returns an OleDbDataReader object. The DataReader can
provide rows of data directly to application logic when we do not need to keep the data cached in
memory.
4. The DataAdapter Object
The DataAdapter is the class at the core of ADO .NET's disconnected data access. It is
essentially the middleman facilitating all communication between the database and a DataSet. The
DataAdapter is used either to fill a DataTable or DataSet with data from the database with its Fill
method. After the memory-resident data has been manipulated, the DataAdapter can commit the
changes to the database by calling the Update method. The DataAdapter provides four properties that
represent database commands:
SelectCommand, InsertCommand, DeleteCommand and UpdateCommand
When the Update method is called, changes in the DataSet are copied back to the database and
the appropriate InsertCommand, DeleteCommand, or UpdateCommand is executed.

ARCHITECTURAL
Classic
MODELS
Fig 2.5.1 THE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURAL MODELS

Downloaded From

In the classic model, note how all layers are held within the application itself. This architecture
would be very awkward to maintain in a large-scale environment unless extreme care was taken to fully
encapsulate or modularize the code. Because Phase 1 of the Duwamish Books sample focuses on a
small retail operation, this type of design is perfectly acceptable. It's easy to develop and, in the limited
environment of a single retail outlet, easy to maintain.
In Phase 1, we deliver the basic functionality and documentation of the code and design
issues.
• Phase 2: Two-tier
Phase 2 moves to a two-tier design, as we break out the data access code into its own layer. By
breaking out this layer, we make multiple-user access to the data much easier to work with. The
developer does not have to worry about record locking, or shared data, because all data access is
encapsulated and controlled within the new tier.
•
Phase 3 and Phase 3.5: Logical three-tier and physical three-tier
The business rules layer contains not only rules that determine what to do with data, but also
how and when to do it. For an application to become scalable, it is often necessary to split the business
rules layer into two separate layers: the client-side business logic, which we call workflow, and the
server-side business logic. Although we describe these layers as client and server-side, the actual
physical implementations can vary. Generally, workflow rules govern user input and other processes on
the client, while business logic controls the manipulation and flow of data on the server.
Phase 3 of the Duwamish Books sample breaks out the business logic into a COM component
to create a logical three-tier application. Our second step in creating a three-tier application is to provide
a physical implementation of the architecture. To distribute the application across a number of
computers, we implement Microsoft Transaction Server in Phase 3.5. The application becomes easier to
maintain and distribute, as a change to the business rules affects a smaller component, not the entire
application. This involves some fairly lengthy analysis because the business rules in Phase 1 were
deliberately not encapsulated.
•
Phase 4: A Windows-based application
Phase 4 of the Duwamish Books sample is the culmination of the migration from a desktop
model to a distributed n-tier model implemented as a Web application. In Phase 4, we offer three client
types aimed at different browser types. We also break out the workflow logic from the client
application. This logic is now implemented through a combination of ASP script, some client-side
14

Students3k.com
processing (depending on the client type), and a COM component. The Workflow component converts
ADO Recordsets it receives from the Business Logic Layer component into XML data, which is, in
turn, converted into HTML for presentation.
Phase 4 documents the benefits, architecture, and implementation issues relating to the
migration of a three-tier application to a Web-based application
Performance has not been tuned for minimum system configuration. Increasing your RAM
above the recommended system configuration will increase our performance, specifically when running
multiple applications, working with large projects, or doing enterprise-level development.

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is the solution to the creation of a new system. This phase is composed of
several systems. This phase focuses on the detailed implementation of the feasible system. It emphasis
on translating design specifications to performance specification. System design has two phases of
development logical and physical design.

During logical design phase the analyst describes inputs (sources), out puts (destinations),
databases (data sores) and procedures (data flows) all in a format that meats the uses requirements. The
analyst also specifies the user needs and at a level that virtually determines the information flow into
and out of the system and the data resources. Here the logical design is done through data flow
diagrams and database design.
The physical design is followed by physical design or coding. Physical design produces the
working system by defining the design specifications, which tell the programmers exactly what the
candidate system must do. The programmers write the necessary programs that accept input from the
user, perform necessary processing on accepted data through call and produce the required report on a
hard copy or display it on the screen.

3.2 DATABASE DESIGN
The overall objective in the development of database technology has been to treat data as an
organizational resource and as an integrated whole. DBMS allow data to be protected and organized
separately from other resources. Database is an integrated collection of data. The most significant form
of data as seen by the programmers is data as stored on the direct access storage devices. This is the
difference between logical and physical data.
Database files are the key source of information into the system. It is the process of designing
database files, which are the key source of information to the system. The files should be properly
designed and planned for collection, accumulation, editing and retrieving the required information.
The organization of data in database aims to achieve three major objectives: -
•
Data integration.
•
Data integrity.
•
Data independence.
The proposed system stores the information relevant for processing in the MS SQL SERVER
database. This database contains tables, where each table corresponds to one particular type of

information. Each piece of information in table is called a field or column. A table also contains records,
which is a set of fields. All records in a table have the same set of fields with different information.
There are primary key fields that uniquely identify a record in a table. There are also fields that contain
primary key from another table called foreign keys.
3.2.1 NORMALIZATION
Normalization is a technique of separating redundant fields and braking up a large table in to a
smaller one. It is also used to avoid insertion, deletion and updating anomalies. All the tables have been
normalized up to the third normal form. In short the rules for each of the three normal forms are as
below.
•
First normal form
A relation is said to be in 1NF if all the under lying domain of attributes contain simple
individual values.
•
Second normal form
The 2NF is based on the concept of full functional dependency. A relation said to be in 2NF if
and only if it is in 1NF and every non-key attribute is fully functionally dependent on candidate key of
the table.
• Third normal form
The 3NF is based on the concept of transitive dependency. A relation in 2NF is said to be in
3NF if every non-key attribute is non-transitively.

3.4 WEB FORM DESIGN
Web Forms are based on ASP.NET. Working with Web Forms is similar to working with
Windows Forms. But the difference is that we will create Web pages with Web forms that will be
accessible by a Web browser. Web Forms are Web pages that serve as the user interface for a Web
application. A Web Forms page presents information to the user in any browser or client device and
implements application logic using server-side code. Web Forms are based on the System.Web.UI.Page
class. The class hierarchy for the page class is shown below.

3.4.1 COMPONENTS OF WEB FORMS
In Web Forms pages, the user interface programming is divided into two parts: the visual
component (design page) and the logic (code behind page).
22
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
The visual element is the Web Forms page. The page consists of a file with static HTML, or
ASP.NET server controls, or both simultaneously. The Web Forms page works as a container for the
static text and the controls we want to display. Using the Visual Studio Web Forms Designer and
ASP.NET server controls, we can design the form just like in any Visual Studio application.
The logic for the Web Forms page consists of code that we create to interact with the form. The
programming logic is in a separate file from the user interface file. This file is the "code-behind" file
and has an ".aspx.vb" (VB) or ".aspx.cs" (C-Sharp) extension. The logic we write in the code-behind
file can be written in Visual Basic or Visual C#.
The code-behind class files for all Web Forms pages in a project are compiled into the project
dynamic-link library (.dll) file. The .aspx page file is also compiled, but differently. The first time a user
loads the aspx page, ASP.NET automatically generates a .NET class file that represents the page, and
compiles it to a second .dll file. The generated class for the aspx page inherits from the code-behind
class that was compiled into the project .dll file. When the user requests the Web page URL, the .dll
files run on the server and dynamically produces the HTML output for your page.
3.5 HOME PAGE
The home page of a website is the first page that a user perceives upon entering the website url
at the browser address area. The entire website depends on how the home page is designed which forms
the platform for viewing other web forms. In short, a home page forms the abstract of the entire
website.
The SNGCE website begins with an interactive home page in which a recruiter username and
password can be entered. A validation is performed at the database to verify whether the recruiter is an
already authorized user, if not a recruiter is allowed to sign in by filling up the necessary details on a
form. The home page appears as given below.

•
Microsoft Visual Studio .Net
Visual Studio .NET is a complete set of development tools for building ASP Web applications,
XML Web services, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET,
and Visual C# .NET all use the same integrated development environment (IDE), which allows them to
share tools and facilitates in the creation of mixed-language solutions. In addition, these languages
leverage the functionality of the .NET Framework, which provides access to key technologies that
simplify the development of ASP Web applications and XML Web services.
•
The .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is a multi-language environment for building, deploying, and running
XML Web services and applications. It consists of two main parts:
1. Common Language Runtime
Despite its name, the runtime actually has a role in both a component's runtime and development
time experiences. While the component is running, the runtime is responsible for managing memory
allocation, starting up and stopping threads and processes, and enforcing security policy, as well as
satisfying any dependencies that the component might have on other components. At development time,
the runtime's role changes slightly; because it automates so much (for example, memory management);
the runtime makes the developer's experience very simple, especially when compared to COM as it is
today. In particular, features such as reflection dramatically reduce the amount of code a developer must
write in order to turn business logic into a reusable component.
2. Unified programming classes
The framework provides developers with a unified, object-oriented, hierarchical, and extensible
set of class libraries (APIs). Currently, C++ developers use the Microsoft Foundation
Classes and Java developers use the Windows Foundation Classes. The framework unifies these disparate
models and gives C#.netand JScript programmer's access to class libraries as well. By creating a common
set of APIs across all programming languages, the common language runtime enables cross-language
inheritance, error handling, and debugging. All programming languages, from JScript to C++, have
similar access to the framework and developers are free to choose the language that they want to use.
•
Introduction to C#.NET
In brief, C#.NET a next generation of ASP (Active Server Pages) introduced by Microsoft.
Similar to previous server-side scripting technologies, C#.NET allows us to build powerful, reliable, and
30
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
scalable distributed applications. C#.NET is based on the Microsoft .NET framework and uses the .NET
features and tools to develop Web applications and Web services.
Even though C#.NET sounds like ASP and syntaxes are compatible with ASP but C#.NET is
much more than that. It provides many features and tools, which let we develop more reliable and
scalable, Web applications and Web services in less time and resources. Since C#.NET is a compiled,
.NET-based environment; we can use any .NET supported languages, including VB.NET, C#,
JScript.NET, and VBScript.NET to develop C#.NET applications.
•
Advantages of C#.NET
1. .NET Compatible
.NET compatibility feature of C#.NET provides applications to use the features provides by
.NET. Some of these features are multi-language support, compiled code, automatic memory
management, and .NET base class library.
We have choice to select a programming language. We can write Web applications using any
.NET supported language, including C#, VB.NET, JScript.NET and VBScript.NET.
All C#.NET code is compiled, rather than interpreted, which allows early binding, strong typing,
and just-in-time (JIT) compilation to native code, automatic memory management, and caching.
The .NET base class library (BCL) provides hundreds of useful classes. This library can be
accessed from any. NET supported language.
2. Web Forms and Rapid Development
Web Forms allows you to build rapid Web GUI applications. Web Forms provides us web pages
and server side controls. We can use web forms and server side controls in VS.NET similar to we write
Windows applications. VS.NET provides Windows application similar drag and drop features, which
allows us to drag server side controls on a page and set control properties and write event handlers by
using wizard property page. The VS.NET framework writes code for us under the hood and our
application is ready in no time. In most of the cases, we don't even need to know what wizards write for
us under the hood.
3. Native XML Support and XML Web Services
XML is a vital part of entire .NET framework. . NET uses XML to store and transfer data among
applications. The .NET base class library provides high-level programming model classes, which can be
used to work with XML.
31
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
An XML Web service provides the means to access server functionality remotely. Web services
use SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) to provide access to clients. Web services can be used to
build different layers of distributed applications and we can use different layers remotely.
4. Databases and ADO.NET
ADO.NET is a new version of ADO (ActiveX Data Objects). Event though ADO.NET sounds
like ADO, but it are a complete redesigned database access technology. ADO.NET allows us to access
different kinds of databases using only one programming model. We must be familiar with DAO, ADO,
ODBC, RDO and other database access technologies previous to ADO.NET. Each of these technologies
had its own pros and cons. ADO.NET combines features of all of these techniques and provides a single
higher level-programming model and hides all details for us. It makes our job much simpler and provides
a way to write rapid development. See ADO.NET section of C# Corner for ADO.NET source code
samples and tutorials.
5. Graphics and GDI+
GDI+ is an improved version of GDI (Graphics Device Interface) to write Windows and Web
graphics applications. The .NET base class library provides GDI classes to write graphics applications.
Using these classes not only we can write Windows applications, but we can also write Web graphics
applications. See GDI+ section of C# Corner for sample applications and tutorials of GDI+.
6. Caching and State Management
One of the most important factors in building high-performance, scalable Web applications is the
ability to store items, whether data objects, pages, or parts of a page, in memory the initial time they are
requested. We can store these objects on the server or on the client machine. Storing data on a server or a
client is called caching.
C#.NET provides two types of caching - page caching and request caching. We use request
caching to improve code efficiency and to share common data across the pages and we use page caching
to provide fast access to the Web applications from clients.
C#.NET provides easy-to-use application-state and session-state management, which allows
managing states of Web applications. C#.NET also provides cookie less state management, means we
don't need to use cookies to for state storage.
7. Enhanced Security
32
Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
C#.NET provide us to authenticate and authorize users for our applications. We can easily
remove, add to, or replace these schemes, depending upon the needs of our application.
8. Mobile Device Development
New addition to C#.NET, Mobile SDK allows us to write Web application that run on Wireless
Application Protocol (WAP) and Wireless Mark-up Language (WML) and HDML compliant devices. We
can download Mobile SDK from the following link: Here are many source code samples and tutorials on
how to develop Mobile applications using Mobile .NET.
9. Messaging and Directory Services
C#.NET uses the Messaging services class library, which is a high-level programming wrapper
for MSMQ messaging services.
The .NET base class library also contains class wrappers for Active Directory that enables you to
access Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and
other directory services through C#.NET applications.
10. Migration from ASP to C#.NET
Even though C#.NET syntaxes are similar to ASP, but C#.NET is a new designed model and
more object oriented. ASP pages won't work without modifying it. The only advantages ASP developers
will have is familiar code syntaxes.
CHAPTER 5
TESTING
5.1 SYSTEM TESTING
Testing is a set activity that can be planned and conducted systematically. Testing begins at the
module level and work towards the integration of entire computers based system. Nothing is complete
without testing, as it is vital success of the system.
• Testing Objectives:
There are several rules that can serve as testing objectives, they are
1. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error
2. A good test case is one that has high probability of finding an undiscovered error.
3. A successful test is one that uncovers an undiscovered error.

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
If testing is conducted successfully according to the objectives as stated above, it would uncover
errors in the software. Also testing demonstrates that software functions appear to the working according
to the specification, that performance requirements appear to have been met.
There are three ways to test a program
1. For Correctness
2. For Implementation efficiency
3. For Computational Complexity.
Tests for correctness are supposed to verify that a program does exactly what it was designed to
do. This is much more difficult than it may at first appear, especially for large programs.
Tests for implementation efficiency attempt to find ways to make a correct program faster or use
less storage. It is a code-refining process, which reexamines the implementation phase of algorithm
development.
Tests for computational complexity amount to an experimental analysis of the complexity of an
algorithm or an experimental comparison of two or more algorithms, which solve the same problem.
• Testing Correctness
The following ideas should be a part of any testing plan:
1. Preventive Measures
2. Spot checks
3. Testing all parts of the program
4. Test Data
5. Looking for trouble
6. Time for testing
7. Re Testing
The data is entered in all forms separately and whenever an error occurred, it is corrected
immediately. A quality team deputed by the management verified all the necessary documents and tested
the Software while entering the data at all levels. The entire testing process can be divided into 3 phases
1. Unit Testing
2. Integrated Testing
3. Final/ System testing
5.1.1 UNIT TESTING

Downloaded From
Students3k.com
Students3k.com
As this system was partially GUI based WINDOWS application, the following were tested in this
phase
1. Tab Order
2. Reverse Tab Order
3. Fie ld len gth
4. Front end validations
In our system, Unit testing has been successfully handled. The test data was given to each and
every module in all respects and got the desired output. Each module has been tested found working
properly.
5.1.2 INTEGRATION TESTING
Test data should be prepared carefully since the data only determines the efficiency and accuracy
of the system. Artificial data are prepared solely for testing. Every program validates the input data.
5.1.3 VALIDATION TESTING
In this, all the Code Modules were tested individually one after the other. The following were
tested in all the modules
1. Loop testing
2. Boundary Value analysis
3. Equivalence Partitioning Testing
In our case all the modules were combined and given the test data. The combined module works
successfully with out any side effect on other programs. Everything was found fine working.
5.1.4 OUTPUT TESTING
This is the final step in testing. In this the entire system was tested as a whole with all forms,
code, modules and class modules. This form of testing is popularly known as Black Box testing or system
testing.
Black Box testing methods focus on the functional requirement of the software. That is, Black
Box testing enables the software engineer to derive sets of input conditions that will fully exercise all
functional requirements for a program. Black Box testing attempts to find errors in the following
categories; incorrect or missing functions, interface errors, errors in data structures or external database
access, performance errors and initialization errors and termination errors.

CONCLUSION
The project report entitled "COLLEGE WEBSITE CREATION" has come to its final stage. The
system has been developed with much care that it is free of errors and at the same time it is efficient and
less time consuming. The important thing is that the system is robust. We have tried our level best to
make the site as dynamic as possible. Also provision is provided for future developments in the system.
The entire system is secured. This online system will be approved and implemented soon.

OVERVIEW OF VISUAL STUDIO 2005
Introduction to Visual Studio .NET
In February 2002, software developers and architects worldwide; were introduced to Visual
Studio .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework. This landmark release, four years in the making,
offered a unified development environment and programming model for constructing a range of software
solutions. With the recent launch of Visual Studio .NET 2003, customers gained the benefits of enhanced
tool and framework functionality, as well as increased performance, security and scalability for building
enterprise-critical software. Features of Visual Studio 2005
•
Refractoring
Making changes to your code like, "pulling a large stretch of inline code into its own method" or
"converting a field to be a property." The Refactoring support makes this easy to do the key tenet of
Extreme Programming created by Kent Beck is constant Refactoring. Under this programming model, we
are developing code rapidly and iteratively, but to keep our code from becoming a jumbled mess, we must
constantly Refactor. Refactoring is a C# only feature.
•
Edit and Continue
Visual Basic has always been about Rapid Application Development (RAD). One key feature is
the ability to fix runtime errors on the fly. With Visual Basic .NET 1.0 and Visual Basic .NET 1.1, this
powerful feature wasn't included. This feature is on-board for Whidbey. If we run into an exception at
runtime, we get an exception helper that provides tips for fixing common errors, but more importantly, we
can edit the code, select F5, and it continues right where us left off. Edit and Continue is VB .NET only
feature.
• ClickOnce

ClickOnce make it easy to install applications and provide ongoing updates (Self-Updating),
rather than forcing to distribute new versions of application, can just deploy the portion of the application
which has changed. In the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, href-exes were not able to solve many
deployment issues. Href-exes are also known as ''no-touch deployment, or zero impact deployment''.
Essentially, with versions 1.0/1.1, we can deploy an application to a Web server, allowing users
to browse to the URL for the exe, as in: <a href="someapp.exe"> we can run me by clicking this link </a>
When the user clicks the link, the application downloads to their Internet files cache and runs. To keep
this from being a huge security hole, the application permissions are restricted based on the URL (Intranet
applications get different permissions than Internet applications, for example), or other factors. This
means that some applications no longer need to be deployed in the traditional sense; no more setup.exe or
MSI
href-exes have a number of limitations
■ The .NET Framework must be pre-installed on the client machine.
■ There's no good way to bootstrap the .NET Framework down if it's not there.
■ Most non-trivial applications consist of the main .exe and a number of assembly files. With
href-exes, the assembly files are downloaded on demand, which is great for corporate Intranet
applications, but there's no way to download the application in one shot so that we know it can be safely
used off-line.
■ Limited support for versioning.
■ The application doesn't hook into Add/Remove Programs, and the application doesn't install
Start menu shortcuts.
RESUME
The developed system is flexible and changes can be made easily. The system is developed with
an insight into the necessary modification that may be required in the future. Hence the system can be
maintained successfully without much rework.
One of the main future enhancements of our system is to include student record that
facilitates quick and easy retrieval of student details. Scope has aloes be made to add a link to the library.
