HoskLeave a comment

I have been using LINQ in CRM 2011 recently and I am loving it and I also need to study LINQ for the .NET 4 exam.  So I was looking for some videos about LINQ so I could understand using in CRM but also some more general videos.

this first video is great for CRM 2011.  It’s done by David Yack and is included on the official CRM 2011 Development kit.  It goes through some general examples CRM 2011 and LINQ.

The two videos below are general LINQ videos and just show examples of LINQ.  I found these useful for the 70-515 Web applications exam.

Exam 70-515 – Ramp up course – Web Development with ASP.NET

HoskLeave a comment

Whilst I am studying for the 70-515 Web applications .NET 4 exam, I am always on the lookout for some good information resources.

I have used the ramp up courses from Microsoft before and found them very useful.  They seem to be written from a developers point of view and they give you enough information so you can start developing with the technology and do all the basics.  They give you a sound footing and our a good spring board for you to use

so Today I found a good ramp up course – Ramp up course – Web Development with ASP.NET

It won’t help you with lots of areas on the exam but the information on state management, controls, configuration files are certainly covered in the exam

ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Hosk2 Comments

studying for the 70-515 .NET 4 web exam I need to know about the ASP.NET page life cycle.

Event Life Cylcle of an ASP.Net Page.

Life cycle stages:-

  1. Page request
  2. Start
  3. Page initialization
  4. Load
  5. Validation
  6. Postback event handling
  7. Rendering
  8. Onload

Life Cycle Events:-

  • PreInit
  • Init
  • InitComplete
  • PreLoad
  • Load
  • Control events
  • LoadComplete
  • PreRender
  • SaveStateComplete
  • Render
  • Unload

 

I have also found a couple of useful videos, I like to reinforce information I have read by watching videos because the person in the video often explains in a more descriptive and memorable way than just reading the information.

This video is from Microsofts ASP.NET

Page Lifecycle Events

This video is a decent explaination of the page lifecycle
