2. SYSTEM STUDY
2.1 FEASIBILITY STUDY:
The feasibility of the project is analyzed in this phase and business proposal is put forth with a very general plan for the project and some cost estimates. During system analysis the feasibility study of the proposed system is to be carried out. This is to ensure that the proposed system is not a burden to the company. For feasibility analysis, some understanding of the major requirements for the system is essential.
Three key considerations involved in the feasibility analysis are
ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
SOCIAL FEASIBILITY
ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
This study is carried out to check the economic impact that the system will have on the organization. The amount of fund that the company can pour into the research and development of the system is limited. The expenditures must be justified. Thus the developed system as well within the budget and this was achieved because most of the technologies used are freely available. Only the customized products had to be purchased.
2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM
In general people share their ideas, queries and answers from their colleagues or friends through the intercom or direct manner. They need to spend time for their work.
DRAWBACKS
Some of the drawbacks are:
- Details are enquired through phone.
- It consumes more time
- They don’t get proper answers.
2.3 PROPOSED SYSTEM
It is difficult to note down all the problems manually. Instead it is decided to develop an “ONLINE DISCUSS FORUM” to ease the operation. A system is required which is being capable of elimination all the problems and become useful to users and thus the new system is derived. Here we get a different view from different users.
BENEFITS
- Interaction will be easier.
- Users articles can be viewed by others
- Less time consuming.

COMPONENTS OF .NET FRAMEWORK
1. THE COMMON LANGUAGE RUNTIME (CLR):
The common language runtime is the foundation of the .NET Framework. It manages code at execution time, providing important services such as memory management, thread management, and remoting and also ensures more security and robustness. The concept of code management is a fundamental principle of the runtime. Code that targets the runtime is known as managed code, while code that does not target the runtime is known as unmanaged code. THE .NET FRAME WORK CLASS LIBRARY: It is a comprehensive, object-oriented collection of reusable types used to develop applications ranging from traditional command-line or graphical user interface (GUI) applications to applications based on the latest innovations provided by ASP.NET, such as Web Forms and XML Web services. The .NET Framework can be hosted by unmanaged components that load the common language runtime into their processes and initiate the execution of managed code, thereby creating a software environment that can exploit both managed and unmanaged features. The .NET Framework not only provides several runtime hosts, but also supports the development of third-party runtime hosts. Internet Explorer is an example of an unmanaged application that hosts the runtime (in the form of a MIME type extension). Using Internet Explorer to host the runtime to enables embeds managed components or Windows Forms controls in HTML documents.
FEATURES OF THE COMMON LANGUAGE RUNTIME:
The common language runtime manages memory; thread execution, code execution, code safety verification, compilation, and other system services these are all run on CLR. Security. Robustness. Productivity. Performance. SECURITY: The runtime enforces code access security. The security features of the runtime thus enable legitimate Internet-deployed software to be exceptionally feature rich. With regards to security, managed components are awarded varying degrees of trust, depending on a number of factors that include their origin to perform file-access operations, registry-access operations, or other sensitive functions. ROBUSTNESS: The runtime also enforces code robustness by implementing a strict type- and code-verification infrastructure called the common type system(CTS). The CTS ensures that all managed code is self-describing. The managed environment of the runtime eliminates many common software issues.
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 server controls onto a Web page and fully integrated debugging support. Developers can choose from the following two features when creating an ASP.NET application. Web Forms and Web services, 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 allows us to build powerful forms-based Web pages. When building these pages, we can use ASP.NET server controls to create common UI elements, and program them for common tasks. These controls allow we to rapidly build a Web Form out of reusable built-in or custom components, simplifying the code of a page. An XML Web service provides the means to access server functionality remotely. Using 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 Each of these models can take full advantage of all ASP.NET features, as well as the power of the .NET Framework and .NET Framework common language runtime. Accessing databases from ASP.NET applications is an often-used technique for displaying data to Web site visitors. ASP.NET makes it easier than ever to access databases for this purpose. It also allows us to manage the database from your code.
ASP.NET provides a simple model that enables Web developers to write logic that runs at the application level. Developers can write this code in the global.aspx text file or in a compiled class deployed as an assembly. This logic can include application- level events, but developers can easily extend this model to suit the needs of their Web application. ASP.NET provides easy-to-use application and session-state facilities that are familiar to ASP developers and are readily compatible with all other .NET Framework APIs.ASP.NET offers the IHttpHandler and IHttpModule interfaces. Implementing the IHttpHandler interface gives you a means of interacting with the low-level request and response services of the IIS Web server and provides functionality much like ISAPI extensions, but with a simpler programming model. Implementing the IHttpModule interface allows you to include custom events that participate in every request made to your application. ASP.NET takes advantage of performance enhancements found in the .NET Framework and common language runtime. Additionally, it has been designed to offer significant performance improvements over ASP and other Web development platforms. All ASP.NET code is compiled, rather than interpreted, which allows early binding, strong typing, and just-in-time (JIT) compilation to native code, to name only a few of its benefits. ASP.NET is also easily factorable, meaning that developers can remove modules (a session module, for instance) that are not relevant to the application they are developing. ASP.NET provides extensive caching services (both built-in services and caching APIs). ASP.NET also ships with performance counters that developers and system administrators can monitor to test new applications and gather metrics on existing applications. Writing custom debug statements to your Web page can help immensely in troubleshooting your application's code. However, it can cause embarrassment if it is not
INTEROPERABILITY:
ADO.NET applications can take advantage of the flexibility and broad acceptance of XML. Because XML is the format for transmitting datasets across the network, any component that can read the XML format can process data. The receiving component need not be an ADO.NET component. The transmitting component can simply transmit the dataset to its destination without regard to how the receiving component is implemented. The destination component might be a Visual Studio application or any other application implemented with any tool whatsoever. The only requirement is that the receiving component be able to read XML. SO, XML was designed with exactly this kind of interoperability in mind. MAINTAINABILITY: In the life of a deployed system, modest changes are possible, but substantial, Architectural changes are rarely attempted because they are so difficult. As the performance load on a deployed application server grows, system resources can become scarce and response time or throughput can suffer. Faced with this problem, software architects can choose to divide the server's business-logic processing and user-interface processing onto separate tiers on separate machines. In effect, the application server tier is replaced with two tiers, alleviating the shortage of system resources. If the original application is implemented in ADO.NET using datasets, this transformation is made easier.
ADO.NET data components in Visual Studio encapsulate data access functionality in various ways that help you program more quickly and with fewer mistakes. PERFORMANCE: ADO.NET datasets offer performance advantages over ADO disconnected record sets. In ADO.NET data-type conversion is not necessary. SCALABILITY: ADO.NET accommodates scalability by encouraging programmers to conserve limited resources. Any ADO.NET application employs disconnected access to data; it does not retain database locks or active database connections for long durations. VISUAL STUDIO .NET Visual Studio .NET is a complete set of development tools for building ASP Web applications, XML Web services, desktop applications, and mobile applications In addition to building high-performing desktop applications, you can use Visual Studio's powerful component-based development tools and other technologies to simplify team- based design, development, and deployment of Enterprise solutions. Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and Visual C# .NET all use the same integrated development environment (IDE), which allows them to share tools and facilitates in the creation of mixed-language solutions. In addition, these languages leverage the functionality of the .NET Framework and simplify the development of ASP Web applications and XML Web services.
