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

public class Application : IWisejComponent, IDisposable, IWisejSynchronized

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 application'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

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.

ClientBrowser: Returns or the client browser's information.

X509Certificate2: EXPERIMENTAL: Provides the client certificate fields issued by the client in response to the server's request for the client's identity. Since 3.5.6

String: Returns the current unique client id.

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

RegistryKey: Returns the registry key for the application data that is shared among all users.

String: Returns the company name associated with the application stored in the AssemblyCompanyAttribute.

Configuration: Returns the current Configuration.

CookieCollection: Collection of cookies.

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.
    
  });
});

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

Desktop: Returns or sets the current Desktop.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Boolean: Indicates that the current application instance, which corresponds to the session, has been terminated and disposed.

Boolean: Returns true when the current session has expired.

Boolean: Returns true if this session is running in secure mode (https:// and wss://)

Boolean: Returns true when the current session has been terminated.

Boolean: Returns true if the current session is connected using WebSocket.

Object: Returns a dynamic object containing the currently loaded license information. Since 3.1.3

These are the currently available fields (may change in future releases):

• Valid: Whether the license is valid. Note that a license may be expired and valid if the product release date is within the license expiration date.

• LicenseKey: License key loaded from web.config or assigned to LicenseKey.

• 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"];

String: Returns or sets the runtime server license key.

Setting the LicenseKey programmatically has to be done before the application is loaded. The best place is the static constructor for the Program static class, or the static constructor of the main window (if defined in Default.js).

static class Program
{
  static Program()
  {
    Application.LicenseKey = "...";
  }
}

Boolean: Returns true when the application is running in not in design, debug or test mode.

String: Returns the server's host name, DNS alias, or IP address as it would appear in self-referencing URLs.

Int32: Returns the port number to which the request was sent.

You can create and modify a new custom theme using the ClientTheme class. The new theme can be based on an existing theme, can be empty, or can be initialized from a JSON string.

// create a new custom theme cloned from the current theme.
var myTheme = new ClientTheme("MyTheme", Application.Theme);

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

// update the current session using the new custom 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";

Terminates the application and the corresponding session.

Find the first component that matches the conditions defined in the predicate function.

Returns: IWisejComponent. The first IWisejComponent qualified by the match expression.

This method lets an application find any live component in the current session.

  // Find the first component that is a Button with Text = "OK"
  var button = Application.FindComponent(c => c is Button && ((Button)c).Text == "OK");

Finds all the components that match the conditions in the predicate function.

Returns: IList<IWisejComponent>. The list of IWisejComponent instances qualified by the match expression.

This method lets an application iterate through all the live components in the current session.

  // List all text boxes that are read only in all forms.
  var list = Application.FindComponents(c => c is TextBox && ((TextBox)c).ReadOnly);

Returns a session-static instance of T . Since 3.2.7

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++;
  }
}

Loads an assembly given the file name or path.

Returns: Assembly. The loaded Assembly.

This method loads the assembly and, if the assembly contains Wisej components that need embedded resources - like JavaScript classes or CSS styles - that are embedded in the assembly, notifies the client with the URL to load the additional resources dynamically.

Creates an instance of the specified component from the assembly.

Returns: IWisejComponent. An instance of a Wisej component implementing the IWisejComponent interface.

Returns: Task<Boolean>.

Changes the current theme.

Returns the full file path in relation to the application's project directory.

Returns: String. The full path relative to the current application's root directory.

Navigate to the specified URL.

Navigate to the specified URL in a new browser tab and receive an optional callback when the tab is closed.

Opens the specified URL in a browser's popup window and receive an optional callback when the tab is closed.

Plays one of the built-in sounds

Plays a sound.

Executes the callback method after all processing is completed and before updating the client.

The Post() method is similar to the BeginInvoke() method used by desktop applications. It allows you to execute a block of code out of sync with the current execution flow.

void Test() {

  Application.Post(() => {
    this.listBox.Items.Add("1");
  });
  
  this.listBox.Items.Add("2");
  
  // The items will be added in this order: "2", "1".
}

Prints the specified control.

The control is printed without the caption or the borders, if present.

Prints the entire browser window.

Instructs the browser to display a dialog with an optional message prompting the user to input some text, and to wait until the user either submits the text or cancels the dialog.

Returns: Task<String>. An awaitable Task that represents the asynchronous operation.

Generates a new session id without losing the session. Since 3.5.2

Use this method after a successful login to prevent potential session fixation attacks.

Causes the application to reload on the browser.

Removes the filter from the list of registered event filters.

Requests the browser to enable fullscreen mode if supported.

Executes the callback in context.

Replaces the object assigned to a session-static singleton. Since 3.5.2

Sets the current session timeout in seconds.

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

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.

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

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);
  }
});

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

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.

Starts a Timer bound to the current session context.

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.

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

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

EventHandler Fired when the active window changes.

EventHandler Fired when the application is about to shut down.

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

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

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

RequestEventHandler Fired at the beginning of every request.

EventHandler Fired when the user resizes the browser.

EventHandler Fired when the user activates the browser tab.

EventHandler Fired when the user deactivates the browser tab.

EventHandler Fired when the CurrentCulture changes.

RequestEventHandler Fired at the end of every request.

EventHandler Fired when the focused control changes.

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

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

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. It is best to attach to this event from a static type initializer, otherwise each listener will be called for every thread, regardless of the session. The default implementation in Wisej.NET is supported only in .NET Framework and the Windows platform.

HandledEventHandler Fired at the end of every request when impersonation is enabled in the JSON configuration file.

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. It is best to attach to this event from a static type initializer, otherwise each listener will be called for every thread, regardless of the session. The default implementation in Wisej.NET is supported only in .NET Framework and the Windows platform.

LicenseErrorEventHandler Fired when a license error occurs.

ResponsiveProfileChangedEventHandler Fired when the active responsive profile is changed.

EventHandler Fired when the RightToLeft value changes.

HandledEventHandler Fired when the session is about to time out.

The default behavior built-in Wisej is to display a dialog asking the user to prolong the session. Set Handled to true to stop the default behavior.

EventHandler Fired when the current theme is changed.

ThreadExceptionEventHandler Fired when a thread exception is thrown.

These properties, being dynamic, can support any field and any structure. To alter these properties in a way that doesn't break the theme, look at the theme's structure in the ThemeBuilder or a text editor. To save a custom theme you may convert it to a JSON string simply by calling the ToJSON extension method added to all objects by the Wisej framework.

Constructors

Default private constructor.

Constructs a new theme from the name and JSON definition.

Constructs a new theme from the base theme.

Properties

Object: Theme appearances.

This is a complex dynamic object with several child objects. The structure can get quite complicated. Before messing with the Appearances object, please study the structure of the themes using the ThemeBuilder or a text editor. Being a dynamic object, you can either create a new appearance or alter an existing appearance at any level.

// alter the border of buttons.
// note that when there is a keyword clash you can use the @ prefix.
Application.Theme.Appearances.button.states.@default.styles.width = 3;
Application.Theme.Appearances.button.states.@default.styles.radius = 0;

// additionally, you my use a string indexer to reach any property.
Application.Theme.Appearances.button.states["default"].styles.radius = 0;

Object: Theme colors.

You can add or change any color in the current theme:

// change existing color.
Application.Theme.Colors.buttonFace = "red";

// create a new color.
Application.Theme.Colors.myCoolColor = "rgba(5,23,55,0.9)";

// 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";

Object: Theme fonts.

You can add or alter any font to the theme. The structure of the font definition can get complicated. Please refer to the existing themes and the ThemeBuilder to determine the structure to use. The simplest way is to change an existing theme font:

// make the window title bigger and bold.
Application.Theme.Fonts.windowTitle.size = 18;
Application.Theme.Fonts.windowTitle.bold = true;

Object: Theme images.

You can add or change any theme image. Images in the theme are just URLs but can be defined in several ways:

• Absolute URL An URL starting with http: or https: pointing to an image resource.

• Relative URL An URL relative to the current site or relative to value of Images.baseUrl.

• base64 A base64 encoded embedded image.

String: The name of the theme.

Object: Theme settings.

The Settings property allows a theme to define certain internal properties. Currently these are the supported properties:

• native-scrollbars Instructs Wisej.NET to use the native scrollbars instead of the themed scrollbars. Setting this property can have negative side effects for virtual scrolling widgets like the DataGridView. The default is false.

• overlapped-scrollbars Instructs Wisej to layout the scrollbars over the content being scrolled, similar to Windows' fluent themes or mobiles. The default is false.

Object: Stylesheet rules embedded in the theme.

The Stylesheet property is a new theme property added since Wisej 2.0. It allows a theme to define a set of CSS rules, just as if Default.html specified a css file. This property has only one string array field: "rules". When the theme is rendered, the client library joins all the rules into a css string and creates a stylesheet loaded into the browser.

// create a custom css rules in the theme.
Application.Theme.Stylesheet.rules = new []{

  "body: { background-color: red };",
  ".myClass: { background-color: red };"
};

Methods

Returns the resolved color defined in the theme for the specified appearance, property or style name and optionally the state.

Returns: Color. A Color representing the color in the theme.

Returns the resolved theme color from the color list.

Returns: Color. A Color representing the color in the theme.

Returns the resolved font defined in the theme for the specified appearance, property name and optionally the state.

Returns: Font. A Font representing the queried font or null if not found.

Returns the resolved font defined from the font list.

Returns: Font. A Font representing the queried font or null if not found.

Returns the resolved image defined in the theme for the specified appearance, property or style name and optionally the state.

Returns: Image. A Image representing the queried image or null if not found. SVG images at runtime always return null, they are resolved only at design time.

Returns the resolved image defined from the image list.

Returns: Image. A Image representing the queried image or null if not found. SVG images at runtime always return null, they are resolved only at design time.

Returns the size of the inset border and padding.

Returns: Padding. Dimension of the border and optionally the padding as a Padding value

Returns the property value for the specified name and state within the specified appearance key.

Returns: T. The typed value of the requested property, or default(T) if not found.

Returns the style value for the specified name and state within the specified appearance key.

Returns: T. The typed value of the requested style, or default(T) if not found.

Returns true if the color is a theme color.

Returns: Boolean. True if color is a theme color.

Since the theme may also define SystemColors, using IsThemeColor on a system color returns false, but the rendering on the browser will use the color in the theme, if defined.

Returns true if the font is a theme font.

Returns: Boolean. True if font is a theme font.

Theme fonts (font's with the OriginalFontName starting with "@") are always rendered using the definition in the theme for their size and style. However, an application may use a theme font and change the size and style. In this case, the OriginalFontName is the theme name without the "@". If the name of the font (which could be a system name like "Arial") matches a theme font, Wisej will use the theme font but it uses the size and style set by the application.

Returns the resolved Color with the proper RGB values. If the color specified in color is a theme color, the value is resolved from the current theme, otherwise the original color is returned.

Returns: Color. A Color instance with the resolved RGB values.

Returns the resolved Font from the theme font. If the font is a theme font, the value is resolved from current theme.

Returns: Font. A Font instance that can be used directly.
