L-P


Loop

A programming structure that encloses a set of statements that are to be executed repeatedly. For example, a For-Next block is a loop structure.

Master-details tables

Two tables in a database in which the primary key of the master table is stored as part of the records in the details table. For example, one customer can have many orders. The Customers table is the master table, and each record in the Orders table contains a customer number that refers to a record in the Customers table.

Mixed-mode security

In SQL Server, a security option that allows users to supply a user name and password in order to log on to SQL Server. Contrast integrated security.

Namespace

A library of classes in the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework contains hundreds of namespaces, each with classes for different purposes. To use a class, you must reference the namespace in which the class is defined so that your program knows where to find the class.

Object-oriented

A style of programming in which elements are objects, defined using programs called classes; objects have properties that define their look and behavior; they have methods that you can call to have an object perform an action; and they raise events in response to user gestures or changes in state. For example, on a Web Forms page you can create a Button object and set its BackColor property. When users click the button, the button raises a Click event that you can respond to.

Operator

A symbol that specifies a mathematical or logical action that should be performed on values. For example, in the expression result=var1*var2, the * operator specifies that the values of var1 and var2 should be multiplied.

Port

A number in a communication packet that acts as a destination address in the destination computer. Different processes on the destination computer monitor packets, and each process responds to (listens on) a different port. For example, by convention, Web servers monitor traffic looking for packets sent to port 80, SMTP e-mail servers look for traffic sent to port 25, and so on.

Postback

Sending an ASP.NET Web page to the server for processing. Clicking a button in an ASP.NET Web page typically causes a postback.

Posting

Sending a Web page to the Web server for processing.

Property

A characteristic of an object that defines the object s appearance or behavior. For example, a TextBox object has the ForeColor property that defines what color its text is and the TextMode property that defines whether the text box accepts more than one line of input.

Provider

The type of a data source, which can range from SQL Server or Microsoft Access to an XML file or a Microsoft Excel worksheet.
