Pre-Requisite

• Download and install the WCF restful services template , from online template screen from VS2010 ( Search for WCF restful template inside the visual studio).
• Create the database “EmployeeDB”
• create a table with the name , below is the query to create the table

  
  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employees](
      [EmployeeId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
      [EmployeeName] [varchar](150) NOT NULL,
      [EmployeeEmail] [varchar](150) NOT NULL,
      [EmployeePhone] [varchar](50) NOT NULL
  ) ON [PRIMARY]
  
  

• Insert the data into the table

WCF Service Part

Create a Restful web service  by selecting the REST template

Delete the SampleItem.cs and Services.1 CS file which are generated automatically

Create a new SVC file and name it EmployeeServices.svc

Create a new Class file ClsEmployeeListing.cs

This is the section to create the getter and setters for the data members

using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System;

[DataContract]
public class ClsEmployeeListing
{

    //string varClinicID;
    //string varClinicName;
    //string varClinicAddress;
    //string varclinicOperatingHours;

Build the solution and deploy the web service in the IIS .

Jquery Mobile Part

Create a new filename Index.html

Add the Jquery mobile library  reference , reference can be in local or can be referenced to the jquery mobile library from CDN

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>

In this tutorial i have a created three section header , content , footer.  In the jquery mobile each section is identified by the attribute “data-role” in the DIV tag.

<div data-role="page">

<div data-role="header">
<h1>Header</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->

<div data-role="content">    
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true"   data-theme="b"id="EmployeeList">
</ul>        
</div><!-- /content -->
    
<div data-role="footer">
<h4>Footer</h4>
</div><!-- /footer -->
    
</div><!-- /page -->

</body>

Create a Ajax call to call our web services

  $.ajax("http://localhost:8008/EmployeeServices.svc/EmployeeList",

Add the Ajax call in the document ready function

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax("http://localhost:8008/EmployeeServices.svc/EmployeeList",

{
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
// $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();
},

complete: function () {
// $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg();
},
contentType: 'application/json',
dataType: 'jsonp',
jsonp: 'callback',
type: 'GET',
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(xhr.status);
alert(xhr.responseText);
//alert(thrownError);
},
success: function (data) {
var result = data.GetEmployeeListingResult;

$.each(result, function (index, output) {
$('#EmployeeList').append('<li> <a href=EmployeeDetails.html?EmployeeID=' + output.EmployeeID + '>' + output.EmployeeName + ' </a>   .....</li>');
});

$('#EmployeeList').listview('refresh');
}
});

});
</script>

Out put of the the web service would in json format , to bind the data from web service to the list , use the $.each(result, function (index, output) {  and give the reference to the UL list

$.each(result, function (index, output) {
$('#EmployeeList').append('<li> <a href=EmployeeDetails.html?EmployeeID=' + output.EmployeeID + '>' + output.EmployeeName + ' </a>   .....</li>');
});

$('#EmployeeList').listview('refresh');

If anyone think about the alternative way or any suggetion for improvment are welcome

I would like you to suggest some samples that you required  using  Coldfusion and .Net integration.

Accessing the .Net UI controls  will not be accessible in Coldfusion any example using .Net ui cannot be done in coldfusion

Why wait post you suggestion in comment section….

To do this we need to create a class in .Net which will get the event viewer log and clear the entry and return the data as datatable which can be used from coldfusion and save the same in databasse

Create the table using the query below

CREATE TABLE EVENTVIEWERDATA ( EVENTID INTEGER, ENTRYTYPE VARCHAR2 (200), MESSAGE VARCHAR2 (4000),TIME VARCHAR2 (800))

.Net Code


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;public class EvtViewerSample
{public DataTable getEventviewer(String EventLogName)
{
// Create the object for EventLog
EventLog ev = new EventLog(EventLogName, System.Environment.MachineName, "MyAppName");

.Net and Coldfusion Templates used in this sample can be get from

http://www.drivehq.com/folder/p2613077.aspx

To access the .net methods first we need to create an object for the .Net  Class , after creating the object we can access the methods in that class . Following is a sample code snippet for accessing the .net methods from coldfusion

Steps to work on the samples
Step 1 Copy the Access MDB file into the “D:\LEarning\CFDotNet\Northwind.mdb”

Step 2 Create the .Net Class Library in Visual studio 2005 , below is the code snippet

// This Code is developed in .net 2005
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Data.SqlClient;public class CfSample{
public CfSample()
{
}
public int SampAdding(int a, int b)
{
int c;
c = a + b;
return c;
}
public int SampSubtract(int a, int b)
{
int c;
c = a - b;
return c;
}
public int SampMultiply(int a, int b)
{
int c;
c = a * b;
return c;
}
public DataTable ACCdatasetMethod()
{
//conn string
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\\LEarning\\CFDotNet\\Northwind.mdb" ;
//ConnectionString='//connection
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(@"SELECT [EmployeeID], [LastName], [FirstName], [Title], [City], [Address], [HireDate], [BirthDate], [TitleOfCourtesy], [Region], [PostalCode], [Country], [HomePhone] FROM [Employees]", connection);
connection.Open();
OleDbDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(reader);
return dt;
}
}
}

Step 3 Compile the Visual studio solution

Step 4 Copy the generated DLL file in any path or can use the same path where it got generated

Step 5 Call the .Net method in Coldfusion

<cfobject
type = “dotnet”
name = “MDBDTable”
class = “CfSample”
assembly = “D:/vishnu/CfSample.dll”>
<cfset query11 = MDBDTable.ACCdatasetMethod()>
<cfdump var=”#query11#”>
