Page.MetaDescription and Page.MetaKeywords in asp.net 4.0

As i have in my earlier post Search Engine optimization is necessary for every sites otherwise site will not have more users and viewers. For search engine meta tag are very important one Search engine crawler get information from this meta tags. There lots of meta tag but most important meta tag are keyword and description. From keyword meta tag search engine crawler get information about keyword for which they list this site page and from the description tag they will get descriptive information about particular page.

ASP.NET 4.0 introduces support for this. Now you can create your own meta tag keyword and description with the help of Page.MetaDescription and Page.MetaKeywords. It will render as same description and keyword meta tags in simple HTML Page. For example if you write following in your page_load event.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.MetaDescription = "This page contains information about asp.net 4.0";
Page.MetaKeywords = "ASP.NET 4.0,Search Engine Optimization";
}

It will render meta tag as following.

<meta name="description" content="This page contains information about asp.net 4.0" />
<meta name="keywords" content="asp.net 4.0, Search Engine Optimization" /> 

So now with asp.net 4.0 you can do your site search engine optimization very easily and you don’t have to write code for that.

Permanent redirection in asp.net 4.0

We all need search engine optimization in our sites. With web 2.0 site its necessary that our site is search engine friendly because if i write this blog but nobody comes to read my blog then what is the worth of it. So for every thing we need to have search engine optimization whether its a blog,site or any thing on web.

For Search Engine Optimization one of the most important thing is the permanent redirection with 301 headers. Now all you say what is 301 headers lets explore this thing in greater details.

301 Header in SEO:

Every dot net programmer does comes along Response.Redirect – It will redirect from one page to another page which causes 302 redirect. For search engine optimization 302 redirection is document is temporary moved from one location to another location so it will keep indexing the other document as well from which we have redirected. In 301 header it will stop the response from older page. So that search engine can index new location permanently.

We can achieve this functionality in asp.net 4.0 directly with permanent redirect method. Like following. It will create 301 headers for search engines/

Response.PermanentRedirect(“http://jalpesh.blogspot.com”);

With the help of this now you can redirect your 302 pages to 301 which will be more search engine friendly then the older one.

Partial Types, Class and Method in C#.NET 3.0/2.0

With C# 2.0 Microsoft has added partial keyword in C#. So what is partial keyword used for. Lets go through the partial keyword in greater detail.

First and foremost use of the partial keyword is the you can declare one class or method with more then one declaration and at the compilation time it will have one complete class.So now you can declare a class more then one file at the compile time it will be treated as one class.

For example this is one class

//first file Patial Class
public class partial PartialClass
{
   public void First()
   {
     //First function
   }
}

 Here is the another class

public class partial PartialClass
{
   public void Second()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
}

Now at the compile time it will be treat as single class like following.

public class PartialClass
{
   public void First()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
   public void Second()
   {
      // Logic...
   }
}

Same way you can use partial method it will treated as one method as compile time. Partial method will only available with C# 3.0. It will not be available to C# 2.0.

Practical Usage Of Partial Class:

There are lots of way where partial class is useful like many developer can work on same class via creating different files. There are lost of code generators available in market so you can extend the class functionality via marking them partial. Partial class can also be used for the manage code in separate files instead of creating large files. With C# 3.5 linq to sql designer uses this concept to split custom behaviors outside mapping class.
