Modernization options namely rewrite, replace, modernize or migrate. One should

consider Application Migration and Modernization as a lower risk, faster and more

13


14/60


cost effective option than re-write or packaged application replacement

approaches.

CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION TO ASP .NET

ASP.NET is more than the next version of Active Server Pages (ASP); it provides

a unified Web development model that includes the services necessary for

developers to build enterprise-class Web applications. While ASP.NET is largely

syntax compatible with ASP, it also provides a new programming model and

infrastructure for more scalable and stable applications that help provide greater

protection.

ASP.NET is a compiled, .NET-based environment; you can author applications in

any .NET compatible language, including Visual Basic .NET, C#, and JScript

.NET. Additionally, the entire .NET Framework is available to any ASP.NET

application. Developers can easily access the benefits of these technologies, which

include the managed common language runtime environment, type safety,

inheritance, and so on.

ASP.NET has been designed to work seamlessly with WYSIWYG HTML editors

and other programming tools, including Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Not only

does this make Web development easier, but it also provides all the benefits that

these tools have to offer, including a GUI that developers can use to drop servercontrols onto a Web page and fully integrated debugging support.

21


22/60


Developers can use Web Forms or XML Web services when creating an ASP.NET

application, or combine these in any way they see fit. Each is supported by the

same infrastructure that allows you to use authentication schemes, cache frequently

used data, or customize your application's configuration, to name only a few

possibilities.

Web Forms allow you to build powerful forms-based Web pages. When

building these pages, you can use ASP.NET server controls to create

common UI elements, and program them for common tasks. These controls

allow you to rapidly build a Web Form out of reusable built-in or custom

components, simplifying the code of a page. For more information, see Web

Forms Pages.

An XML Web service provides the means to access server functionality

remotely. Using XML Web services, businesses can expose programmatic

interfaces to their data or business logic, which in turn can be obtained and

manipulated by client and server applications. XML Web services enable the

exchange of data in client-server or server-server scenarios, using standards

like HTTP and XML messaging to move data across firewalls. XML Web

services are not tied to a particular component technology or object-calling

convention. As a result, programs written in any language, using any

component model, and running on any operating system can access XML

Web services. For more information, see XML Web Services Created Using

ASP.NET and XML Web Service Clients.

23/60


Advantages of asp .net

1. ASP.NET drastically reduces the amount of code required to build large

applications.

2. With built-in Windows authentication and per-application configuration, your

applications are safe and secured.

3. It provides better performance by taking advantage of early binding, just-in-time

compilation, native optimization, and caching services right out of the box.

4. The ASP.NET framework is complemented by a rich toolbox and designer in the

Visual Studio integrated development environment. WYSIWYG editing, drag-and-

drop server controls, and automatic deployment are just a few of the features this

powerful tool provides.

5. Provides simplicity as ASP.NET makes it easy to perform common tasks, from

simple form submission and client authentication to deployment and site

configuration.

6. The source code and HTML are together therefore ASP.NET pages are easy to

maintain and write. Also the source code is executed on the server. This provides a

lot of power and flexibility to the web pages.

7. All the processes are closely monitored and managed by the ASP.NET runtime,

so that if process is dead, a new process can be created in its place, which helps

keep your application constantly available to handle requests.

23


24/60


8. It is purely server-side technology so, ASP.NET code executes on the server

before it is sent to the browser.

9. Being language-independent, it allows you to choose the language that best

applies to your application or partition your application across many languages.

10. ASP.NET makes for easy deployment. There is no need to register components

because the configuration information is built-in.

11. The Web server continuously monitors the pages, components and applications

running on it. If it notices any memory leaks, infinite loops, other illegal activities,

it immediately destroys those activities and restarts itself.

12. Easily works with ADO.NET using data-binding and page formatting features.

It is an application which runs faster and counters large volumes of users without

having performance problems

CHAPTER 3

INTRODUCTION TO MS ACCESS:-

Microsoft Office Access, previously known as Microsoft Access, is a relational

database management system from Microsoft that combines the relational

Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-

development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications,

included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately. In mid-May

2010, the current version of Microsoft Access 2010 was released by Microsoft in

Office 2010; Microsoft Office Access 2007 was the prior version.

Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine. It

can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases.[1]

Software developers and data architects can use Microsoft Access to develop

application software, and "power users" can use it to build simple applications.

Like otherOffice applications, Access is supported by Visual Basic for

Applications, an object-oriented programming language that can reference a

variety of objects including DAO (Data Access Objects), ActiveX Data Objects,

and many other ActiveX components. Visual objects used in forms and reports

expose their methods and properties in the VBA programming environment, and

VBA code modules may declare and call Windows operating-system functions

26/60


Relational Database: in relational databases such as Access, data is stored in

tables made up of one or morefields (Access calls a column afield). The data

stored in each column must be of a single data type such as Character, Number or

Date. A collection of values from each column of a table is called a recordor a

row in the table.

Different tables can have the same column in common. This feature is used to

explicitly specify a relationship between two tables. Values appearing in column A

in one table are shared with another table

Table: tables are the main units of data storage in a database. A table is a

collection of data about a specific topic; it is made up of one of morefields.

Field: a field is a column in a table and defines a data type for a set of values in a

table. For example, a mailing list table might include fields for first name, last

name, address, city, state, zip code, and telephone number.

Record: a record in a row in a table and is a set of values defined by fields. In a

mailing list table, each record would contain the data for one person as specified by

the intersecting fields.

Data type: data types are the properties of each field. A field only has one data

type, such as Character, Number or Date.

Primary Key: a primary key is a value that can be used to identify a unique record

in a table.

26


27/60


Design View: it provides the tools for creating fields in a table.

Datasheet View: it allows you to update, edit, and delete in formation from a

table.

Characterstics of MS ACCESS

Ms Access is a database management tool that enables one to have good command

of datacollected. The programme enables one to retrieve, sort, summarize and

report results speedily and effectively. It can combine data from various files

through creating relationships,and can make data entry more efficient and accurate.

Microsoft Access (MS Access) enables one to manage all important information

from a single

database file. Within the file, one can use:

Tables to store your data.

Queries to find and retrieve specific data of interest.

Forms to view, add, and update data in tables.

Reports to analyze or print data in a specific layout.

Data access pages to view or update, the data.

Establishment of Ms Accessdatabase

All Ms Access databases files are saved with extension .mdb

27


28/60


A database should have a separate table for every major subject, such aspedigree

records, Production data orTreatment information. Data should not be

duplicated in multiple tables.

Microsoft Access provides three methods to create a database

Database Wizard (though easy, the wizard offers limited options to customize

thedatabase) Using a template (This method works best if one can find and use a

template that closely matches the specific requirements)

Creating a database directly (This is the most flexible method,but it

requires one to define each database element separately). Create a new Access

database

After creating a new database, this should be saved by the name which reflects the

content of the database. Upon saving the database, the Ms Access database

window opens with the Tables tab-active (i.e in such a way that the next activity

should be to create a table).

Creating a table

Tables are the data storage facilities in Ms Access. Each table contains rows called

records and columns called fields.

A record is a collection of facts about a particular animal or event. Each record in

a table should be unique. To distinguish one record from another, tables can

contain a primary key field.

28


29/60


A field is a single kind of fact that may apply to each animal or event. For

example, date of birth

is a field in a table on animal information.

The fields in a database have settings that determine the

- type of data they can store,

- how the data is displayed,

- what can be done with the data.

For example, field settings can ensure that birth dates are entered with two

numbers for the

month, two numbers for the day, four numbers for the year, and slashes in

between:

One important setting for fields is the data type, which could be a number, text,

currency, and

date/time. The data type limits and describes the kind of information in the field.

The data type

also determines the actions one can perform on a field and how much memory the

data will use.

Fields also have properties that control the details of information inside them,

including a

character length, a default value, and a validation rule that makes sure the data

meets

certain criteria.

Tables may be created by either:

29


30/60


- Table wizard,

- Design view

- Entering data in a spreadsheet.

Creating Tables using design view

Creation of a table by design view is a user customized way of making data

storage tables.

Each field in the design view of a table corresponds to a column in the datasheet

view of a table.

Designing a table involves:

- Entering unique names of the columns of the table in the field namecolumn of

the design view. Names of fields and objects in Microsoft Access can be up to 64

characters long. They can include any combination of letters, numbers, spaces, and

special characters except a period (.), an exclamation point (!), an accent grave (`),

and brackets ([ ]). They also can't begin with leading spaces

- In the Data Type column, declare the type of data that will be entered in that

column.

The default is Text; or click in the Data Type column, click the arrow, and select

the data type.

- In the lower portion of the window Field properties, can be further specified.

Microsoft Access allows one to distinguish between two kinds of blank values:

Null values and MS-Access Basic 3 zero-length strings The Requiredproperty

determines whether users can leave a field

30


31/60


blank, resulting in a Null value. The AllowZeroLengthproperty determines

whether

Text or Memo fields can contain a zero-length string.

- Define a Primary Key field (You don't have to define a primary key, but it's

usually a

good idea. If you don't define a primary key, Microsoft Access asks if you want

Access

to create one for you when you save the table)

- Save the table by a name of your choice, (related to the information the table)

- Finally, close the design view to return to the database windowwhere the

columns of

the table that you have just created are displayed.

Advantages of Microsoft Access

With Microsoft Access, the average user can work with databases without being

highly skilled in the field. Microsoft made it easy for just about anyone to learn

how to work with databases by replacing some of the complicated work with easy-

to-use templates. While using Access can be somewhat of a challenge just because

of the extensive options it offers, it's user-friendly enough to have a database up

and running before you know it.

Function

31


32/60


o Microsoft Access is a database software program that makes

manipulating data manageable for users of many skill levels. You can input

data and sort, filter or group information according to your needs. It's

particularly useful when there are thousands of records and sorting through

them individually would take hours.

o Access allows you to obtain the information quicker by providing a

few commands to tell the program what is being sought. Reports can be

created, too, that pull information out of the database according to the

project parameters. For example, information on a customer's age, sex,

marital status, address, email address, phone number and cell phone number

may be listed in your database. However, demographics about the client may

be the only thing necessary to complete a given project. You can then build a

report that will extract customers by age, sex and marital status.

Benefits

o Flexibility is the key with Access. Knowing that not everyone is

skilled at making databases, Microsoft created basic templates that a user

can go and use immediately. However, a database can be built from scratch

or the templates can be tweaked as needed to fit your needs. Rather than

inputting each record every time a project is started, Access holds thousands

of records for you to revisit whenever needed, making it a time-saver, too.

o This is great because not only is the information there, but it can be

used alongside other Microsoft programs such as Word. Simply create a

mail merge with thousands of letters and join it together with the Access

32


33/60


database. All contacts will be pulled from Access and dumped into each

letter separately.

o Interaction between MS Outlook is possible too: Import contacts

from your MS Outlook contact book into Access or export contact

information in Access and save it as a contact in Outlook.

Considerations

o Access makes it quick to share and manipulate information through

collaboration on the Web. Using Windows Sharepoint Services, several

users can move their Access files to Windows Sharepoint Services socoworkers can update, edit or work with those files, provided they have been

granted permissions by the person who uploaded the files to Windows

Sharepoint Services.

Access Glossary Terms

o Access uses many terms that may be new to you, but are necessary to

understand in order to complete the work. A "database" is a way to organize

and store information about people, places and things. Access is a database

management system which houses those various databases and makes it

quick to access them.

o "Queries" are functions that allow a user to obtain certain data from

the table. Using a query helps answer specific questions that would be

difficult to answer by just looking at the table itself. They can help filter,

summarize and perform calculations with your data. A "table" consists of

rows and columns, while "records" are the rows that combine information

33


34/60


about something, and "fields" are the columns that contain a single item of

information.

Database Design Process

o A little bit of planning will go a long way for the best use of an

Access database. First, figure out how the database will be used. Next,

gather all information to be input into the database and organize the

information into categories, each of which will become a table. Input the

data into the tables, which will become columns and create relationships

between the tables if there are more than one. Finally, apply normalization

rules to make sure the tables are structured correctly.

ONLINE EDUCATION & EXAMINATION SYSTEM

1.Purpose:

This Web Application provides facility to conduct online EDUCATION

examination world wide.

It saves time as it allows number of students to give the exam at a time and

displays the results as the test gets over, so no need to wait for the result. It

is automatically generated by the server.

Administrator has a privilege to create, modify and delete the test papers and

its particular questions.

User can register, login and give the test with his specific id, and can see the

results as well.

2.SCOPE:

Scope of this project is very broad in terms of other manually taking exam.

Few of them are:-

This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate

world.

35


36/60


Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application(user

Location doesnt matter).

No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate

takes the test.

FEATURES:

Secure

Easy to use

Reliable and accurate

No need of examiner

3.OVEVIEW:

The online test created for taking online test has following stages

Login

Test

Result

LOGIN:-

36


37/60


There is a quality login window because this is more secure than other login

forms as in a normal login window there are multiple logins available so that more

than one person can access to test with there individual login.But in this project

there is only one login id i.e. administrator id and password by which a person

enter the site. Hence it is more secure and reliable than previously used on-line test

simulators.

TEST:

Test page is the most creative and important page in this project. It

consists of 2 modules namely:

Subject selection

Utilities

Subject selection:-

From the given choices the candidate can select his field (like C, C++ and

JAVA etc) for taking on with the test.

Utilities:-

It includes:-

Skip and come back to the question afterwards if needed.

37


38/60


Gives the list of attempted and unattempted questions and can go to any

question directly and can either attempt or change the answer of the already

attempted question.

4. Technologies used:

This project is a web application that is developed in ASP .NET having Ms

access as back end.

1. Database Design (MS ACCESS)

2. Codng (ASP .NET)

3. Server (ASP .NET DEVELOPMENT)

5. Constraints:

User interface is only in English i.e. no other language option is

available.

User can login only with his assigned username and password i.e. no

guest facility is available.

Limited to HTTP/HTTPS.

6.User Profile Module:

38


39/60


User Profile Module is related with the user information

that has login. Here we have two parts in Profile Module the first one

is when a new registered user login then there is no information in his

profile only the information filled in Registration form i.e. Name,

Password, Address, City, State, Pin and Contact Number are in the

profile which comes from Registration. As soon as user login for first

time then a profile to be filled appear and user have to fill compulsory

option.

Second one is that only a registered person can login in the site and

can purchase the products available in the E-Market. So this module

provides the security against the unauthorized users.

CHAPTER 5

FEASIBILITY STUDY

3.1 Economic Feasibility:

This module is economical feasible because we are using existing tools and

software to develop it. We do not need to buy any other software. We are going to

use following tools and software:

ASP .NET 2005

MS ACCESS ASP .NET DEVELOPMENT SERVER

3.2 . Technical feas ibi l i ty:

Technical feasibility means whether reliable hardware and software, technical

resources capable of meeting the needs of a proposed system can be acquired or

developed by an organization in the required time. Technical feasibility centers on

the existing system and to what extent it can support the proposed system. This

project has made use of the currently available hardware and software in the lab

which is sufficient for its development. Hence the project is technically feasible.

3.3. Operational feasibility:

These modules are operational feasible because we have technical skilled

persons who can built these module easily. No one needs to learn any new

technology or training.

42


43/60


The module is very easy to understand and very easy to implement with

the existing infrastructure. Therefore operational activities are very fast, so

the module can be developed in minimum time with fewer efforts.

What are the users demonstrable needs?

User needs a web-based system, which will remove all the above mentioned

problems that, the user is facing. The user wants a web-based system, which will

reduce the bulk of paperwork, provide ease of work, flexibility, fast record finding,

modifying, adding, removing and generating the reports.

How can the problem be redefined?

We proposed our perception of the system, in accordance with the problems

of existing system by making a full layout of the system on paper. We tallied the

problems and needs by existing system and requirements. We were further

updating in the layout in the basis of redefined the problems. In feasibility study

phase we had undergone through various steps, which are described as under:How feasible is the system proposed? This was analyzed by comparing the

following factors with both the existing system and proposed system.

I. Cost

The cost required in the proposed system is comparatively less to the existing

system.

II. Effort

43


44/60


Compared to the existing system the proposed system will provide a better

working environment in which their will be ease of work and the effort

required will be comparatively less than the existing system.

III. Time

Also the time required generating a report or for doing any other work will be

comparatively very less than in the existing system. Record finding and updating

will take less time than the existing system.

IV. Labor

In the existing system the number of staff required for completing the work is

more while the new system will require quite less number of staff.

CHAPTER 6

Software System Attributes

Usability:

The links are provided for each form. The user is facilitated to view

and make entries in the forms. Validations are provided in each field to

avoid inconsistent or invalid entry in the databases. Some forms consists

Hyper Links, which provides further details. Reports screen contains text

boxes and drop down lists, so that reports can be produced.

Security:

Application will allow only valid users to access the system.Access to

any application resource will depend upon users designation. There are two

types of users namely Administrator and Student. Security is based upon the

individual user ID and Password.

Maintainability:

The installation and operation manual of examination management

system will be provided to the user.

Availability:

System will be available around the clock except for the time required

for the back up of data.

Portability:

45


46/60


The application is developed in ASP .NET. It would be portable to

other operating system provided ASP .NET is available for the OS. As the

database is made in MYSQL, porting the database to another database server

would require some development effort.

Acceptance Criteria

The software should meet the functional requirement and perform the

functionality effectively and efficiently.

Data transfer should be accurate and with in a reasonable amount of

time keeping in mind the network traffic.The system should not allow entry of duplicate key values.

System should have the ability to generate transactional Logs to

avoid any accidental loss of data.

A user-friendly interface with proper menus.

Log file should also be generated
