Using META Tags to Refresh Pages

If you think of current web application development trend then this solution will not fit for you, because this scenario post-backs complete web page. Today, we have many controls that update any defined section of website (web page) instead of whole web page gets post-back.

But we should know this way also so, let’s learn how to refresh web page using META Tags.

There are several ways to have the browser reload the page each time the user requests it. The first way is to set the page to expire. An example of this is:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 03 Nov 1999 12:21:14 GMT">

Another useful - and sometimes dangerous - attribute is the Refresh attribute. This tag can refresh the present page, or can refresh to a different page measured in seconds. Two examples are:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="20">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=http://www.itorian.com">

The first example refreshes the current page in 20 seconds. The second example refreshes the page in 10 seconds, but refreshes it by loading the new URL.

I hope you like it. Thanks.

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.
