Application

Wisej.Web.Application

Namespace: Wisej.Web

Assembly: Wisej.Framework (3.2.0.0)

Represent a Wisej application session. Provides methods and events to manage the application in the context of the current session.

C#

public class Application : IWisejComponent, IDisposable, IWisejSynchronized

VB.NET

Public Class Application
    Inherits IWisejComponent
    Implements IDisposable, IWisejSynchronized

This class provides several static methods, properties and events that allow the application to manage all sorts of features related to the current session:

• Save and retrieve session variable. Use Session to store and retrieve session variable. The property is a dynamic object and a Dictionary, therefore you can access its properties directly or through the indexer.

    Application.Session.myValue = 12;
    Application.Session["myValue"] = 12;
  

• Manage cookies. Use Cookies to manage browser's cookies.

• Read server variables. Use ServerVariables to retrieve all the data made available by the server. Some of the variables in the collection are also available directly: ServerPort, ServerName, UserAgent, etc.

• Read the application's URL. Use Uri, Url, StartupUri, and StartupUrl.

• Read the applications's system information. Use StartupPath, ProductName, ProductVersion, etc.

• Listen to the application's global events. See SessionTimeout , BeginRequest, ApplicationStart, ApplicationExitApplicationRefresh, BrowserSizeChangedResponsiveProfileChanged, CultureChanged, and many more.

• Retrieve browser related information. Use the Browser to read the client browser type, OS, version, capabilities, screen size, browser size, language, and state. The Browser object is updated automatically when the user resizes the browser or the page is reloaded.

• Control the client browser. Start a Download, execute JavaScript functions or scriptlets using Call or Eval. Make the browser navigate to a different URL using Navigate or simply Reload the page.

• Manage the main page or current desktop. MainPage lets you change the Page object that fills the browser and "navigate" from page to page. Desktop lets you change the active Desktop object on the client browser.

• Manage all live components in the session. Through the Application class you can find, iterate, inspect all live components of any type. See OpenForms for all the currently created (visible or invisible) instances of Form. OpenPages returns all the created Page objects. FindComponent and FindComponents provide an easy way to find any component in the session or to iterate the list of components that match a custom expression.

• Start background tasks in context. StartTask provides a powerful way to start a background task on the server that can keep interacting with the client browser while running independently.

• Manage the application's theme. Use LoadTheme to load a Wisej theme into the application. Or use the Theme object to read all sorts of information from the current ClientTheme.

• Terminate the application without waiting for the session to timeout. Use Exit to terminate the current session and free all the related memory.

There is a lot more exposed by the Application class. You can inspect all the properties and methods in Visual Studio through IntelliSense or online at docs.wisej.

Properties

ActiveProfile

ClientProfile: Returns or sets the current client responsive profile.

This is the profile that best matches the current browser on the client. It is updated automatically on every request.

Browser

ClientBrowser: Returns or the client browser's information.

ClientId

String: Returns the current unique client id.

Clients

ClientCollection: Returns a collection of all the unique client browsers using the application.

CommandManager

CommandManager: Returns the current CommandManager.

Current

IWisejComponent: Returns the application component instance that an application can store and use later to restore the context when updating client widgets during an out-of-bound call using the Update method.

Threads that are not started using StartTask don't have any knowledge of the current session and don't have a way to communicate with the client The Current property returns the instance of the Application class that is bound to the current session. It can be used just like any other component with the method Update or RunInContext to restore the session for the current thread. The advantage of using Current instead of the instance of a control or a page is to avoid to keep a reference to a component that may be disposed by the application.

var current = Application.Current;
var thread = new Thread(() => {
  Application.Update(current, () => {
  
    // code here is running in context.
    
  });
});

CurrentCulture

CultureInfo: Returns or sets the current CultureInfo for the session.

Desktop

Desktop: Returns or sets the current Desktop.

EnableUnloadConfirmation

Boolean: Returns or sets whether the browser will ask the user to confirm unloading the current page.

This property attaches the window.onbeforeunload event. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowEventHandlers/onbeforeunload. It's not possible to determine whether the page is being unloaded because the user is trying to close the tab, close the browser, or is refreshing the page, or is taking any other action that may reload the page.

ExecutablePath

String: Returns the path for the application's main assembly.

FavIcon

Image: Returns or sets the favicon to display in the browser.

FavIconSource

String: Returns or sets the URL to the favicon to display in the browser.

Hash

String: Returns or sets the hash part of the URL on the client.

IsAuthenticated

Boolean: Returns a value indicating whether the session has been authenticated.

• ProductName: Full name of the licensed product.

• CustomerName: Name of the registered customer that owns the license.

• ExpirationDate: Expiration date for the product free updates.

Retrieve the values either using a dynamic object or a property indexer:

  string productName = Application.LicenseInfo.ProductName;
  string customerName = Application.LicenseInfo["CustomerName"];

LicenseKey

  {
    Application.LicenseKey = "...";
  }
}

MainPage

var myTheme = new ClientTheme("MyTheme", Application.Theme);

// alter the buttonFace color.
myTheme.Colors.buttonFace = "red";

// update the current session using the new custom theme.
Application.Theme = myTheme;

You may also alter a global theme shared by all sessions.

// change the buttonFace color in the current theme.
// if the theme is one of the global themes, i.e. it was loaded
// using Application.LoadTheme(name), then the change is also global.
Application.Theme.Colors.buttonFace = "red";

// since the theme objects are all dynamic and use a special DynamicObject
// class part of the Wisej Framework, you can also use a string indexer
// to address any field.
Application.Theme.Colors["buttonFace"] = "red";

builder	Func<T>	Optional method for the creation of an instance of T .

Returns: T. The singleton instance of T associated with the current session.

This utility method simplifies the management of session-static (or session singleton) instances. It should be used to convert traditional static variables to session-static instances when changing an application designed for single users to a multi-user system. The code below shows how to use this feature together with the ThreadStaticAttribute to manage session-static instances and, at the same time, improve the speed of the code that relies on the singleton objects. Using the ThreadStaticAttribute backing field allows the code that retrieves the session-static instance to quickly check the last instance and compare the session id and avoid accessing the dictionary for every access within the same request. Otherwise the code would have to always store a local variable in order to speed up multiple operations using the same static field.

public class MyStatics {

  // Thread-static singleton.
  [ThreadStatic] private static SessionReference<MyStatics> _instance;
  
  // Previously static fields (or properties).
  public int Counter;

  // Session singleton.
  public MyStatics Instance
    => Application.GetInstance(ref _instance);
    
  public static void DoSomething()
  {
    // was MyStatics.Counter++;
    MyStatics.Instance.Counter++;
  }
}

If the class a private constructor (to simulate a static class) or required initialization code or arguments, use the optional builder method:

public class MyStatics {

  private MyStatics() { };
  
  // Thread-static singleton.
  [ThreadStatic] private static SessionReference<MyStatics> _instance;
  
  // Previously static fields (or properties).
  public int Counter;

  // Session singleton.
  public MyStatics Instance
    => Application.GetInstance(ref _instance, () => new MyStatics());
    
  public static void DoSomething()
  {
    // was MyStatics.Counter++;
    MyStatics.Instance.Counter++;
  }
}

Parameter	Type	Description
seconds	Int32

StartPolling(interval)

Instructs the client to start polling the server for UI changes at the specified interval when a WebSocket connection is not available.

Parameter	Type	Description
interval	Int32	Polling interval in milliseconds. The minimum is 1000ms.

Calling this method when IsWebSocket is true has no effect. Use client side polling when you know that your code will start a background task that needs to update the client asynchronously (push updates) and your server or clients don't support WebSocket connections. Once the background tasks are completed call EndPolling to reduce the incoming requests from the client.

// this has not effect when the client and server are connected using WebSocket.
Application.StartPolling(1000);

Application.StartTask(() => {

  for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    this.label1.Text = "Counting..." + i;
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
  }
  
  // this has not effect when the client and server are NOT connected using WebSocket.
  Application.Update(this);

  // this has not effect when the client and server are connected using WebSocket.
  Application.EndPolling();

});

Throws:

• ArgumentOutOfRangeException The interval specified is less than 1.

StartTask(action)

Starts a new task within the current application context and returns immediately. See also background-tasks.

Parameter	Type	Description
action	Action	Start method invoked by the new task when it starts up.

Returns: Task. An awaitable Task.

The task runs in the background but it's still capable of updating the client asynchronously when working with WebSocket by calling the Update method to push the UI updates to the client browser. If you want to support background updates for clients or servers that can't use the WebSocket connection, you can either add a Timer component to the parent container to force period requests to the server, or you can use the StartPolling and EndPolling methods.

Application.StartTask(() => {

  for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  
    this.label1.Text = "Counting..." + i;
    
    // just wait a bit or it's too fast.
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Application.Update(this);
  }
});

StartTask<T>(action)

Starts a new task with a return value within the current application context and returns immediately. See also background-tasks.

Parameter	Type	Description
T
action	Func<T>	Start method invoked by the new task when it starts up.

Returns: Task<T>.

The task runs in the background but it's still capable of updating the client asynchronously when working with WebSocket by calling the Update method to push the UI updates to the client browser. The generics overload of StartTask allows the task to return a value. You can use this with the async/await pattern and asynchronously wait for the task to complete. If you want to support background updates for clients or servers that can't use the WebSocket connection, you can either add a Timer component to the parent container to force period requests to the server, or you can use the StartPolling and EndPolling methods.

string text = await Application.StartTask(() => {

  string value = "";
  for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  
    value += i.ToString();
    
    // just wait a bit or it's too fast.
    Thread.Sleep(100);
  }
  return value;
});

this.label.Text = text;
Application.Update(this);

Note that you don't have to specify the type in the angular brackets, the compiler will automatically detect the type from the return value of the asynchronous function.

StartTimer(dueTime, period, callback)

Starts a Timer bound to the current session context.

Parameter	Type	Description
dueTime	Int32	The amount of time, in milliseconds, to delay before invoking the callback .
period	Int32	The time interval between invocations, in milliseconds.
callback	Action	A callback method to invoke at the specified intervals.

Returns: Timer. An instance of Timer.

You must save a reference to the returned Timer or the Garbage Collector will stop and dispose the timer. To alter the invocation period user Timer.Changer(), or stop the timer simply use Timer.Dispose(). See system.threading.

Update(context, action)

Executes the optional callback in context and pushes all the pending updates to the client when in WebSocket mode.

Parameter	Type	Description
context	IWisejComponent	The application context to update. It can be any Wisej component or the IWisejComponent returned by the property Current.
action	Action	Function to execute in context. The code in the function can access all the static Application properties when executed from an out-of-bound thread.

Use this method when you need to update the client asynchronously from an out-of-bound thread (different thread, not originating from a client request). You can call this method at the end of the code that updates the UI:

Application.StartTask(() => {

    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    
      this.label1.Text = "Counting..." + i;
      
      // just wait a bit or it's too fast.
      Thread.Sleep(1000);
    }
    
    Application.Update(this);

});

Or you can use the optional action function to enclose the code that updates the UI in a block and ensure that the client is updated when the code block exits:

Application.StartTask(() => {

    Application.Update(this, () => {
    
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    
        this.label1.Text = "Counting..." + i;
      
        // just wait a bit or it's too fast.
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
      }
    });

});

Events

ActiveWindowChanged

EventHandler Fired when the active window changes.

ApplicationExit

EventHandler Fired when the application is about to shut down.

ApplicationRefresh

EventHandler Fired when the application is reloaded in the browser because the user hit refresh or changed the URL.

ApplicationStart

EventHandler Fired when the application is started, after the Main method is called.

BeforeInstallPrompt

EventHandler Fired when the browser fires the "beforeinstallprompt" event. Corresponds to BeforeInstallPromptEvent.

BeginRequest

EventHandler Fired at the beginning of every request.

BrowserSizeChanged

EventHandler Fired when the user resizes the browser.

BrowserTabActivated

EventHandler Fired when the user activates the browser tab.

BrowserTabDeactivated

EventHandler Fired when the user deactivates the browser tab.

CultureChanged

EventHandler Fired when the CurrentCulture changes.

EndRequest

EventHandler Fired at the end of every request.

FocusedControlChanged

EventHandler Fired when the focused control changes.

HashChanged

HashChangedEventHandler Fired when the hash part of the URL changes on the client side.

Idle

EventHandler Fired when the current thread has completed processing all the events and before the response is sent back to the client.

ImpersonationBegin

HandledEventHandler Fired right after ThreadBegin, only when Impersonate is set to true, to allow user code to take over the thread impersonation operations.

Set e.Handled to true if your application takes care of impersonation; otherwise false to let the default implementation attempt to impersonate the user. This event is not related to a session.
