Recently Microsoft decided to rename their .NET Ajax capabilities formerly known as “Atlas” to a more generic moniker ASP.NET Ajax. Whatever you prefer to call it the overall fundamental power of this technology remains incredible.
Read MoreWelcome to the second and final part of this two part series regarding the new ASP.NET 2.0 MultiView and View controls available in the Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox. During MultiView Control in ASP.NET 2.0 Part 1 we looked at the MultiView and View controls and their documented uses. We created a sample application with 3 themes and applied Skin files to allow our View controls to have a dynamic display without applying formatting to our form controls at all.
During this second part of the series we will implement the code required to tie all the pieces together. The code required will be implemented in a code-beside file for our Default.aspx page that we created during MultiView Control in ASP.NET 2.0 Part 1.
Read MoreASP.NET 2.0 has brought a plethora of new user interface controls to developers. Most have been added to facilitate large amounts of duplicate coding that was required in previous versions of .NET. By expanding the ASP.NET toolbox to include several new controls that can accommodate a vast set of commonly used interface design patterns a developer can focus more on the user experience instead of custom writing their own user controls.
One of these new controls is the MultiView control. The premise behind this control is something that has been available to desktop application developers for quite some time. The idea being, to enable multiple views of control, layered on top of each other, and dynamically displayed at run-time.

These days, the biggest threat to an organization's network security comes from its public Web site and the Web-based applications found there. Unlike internal-only network services such as databases—which can be sealed off from the outside via firewalls—a public Web site is generally accessible to anyone who wants to view it, making application security an issue. As networks have become more secure, vulnerabilities in Web applications have inevitably attracted the attention of hackers, both criminal and recreational, who have devised techniques to exploit these holes. In fact, attacks upon the Web application layer now exceed those conducted at the network level, and can have consequences which are just as damaging.
Read MoreWhen working with the new .NET 2.0 framework there are a lot of new features, classes, and methodologies available to developers. Some things are brand new, some things are advancements upon existing features in the .NET 1.x framework.
Read MoreAccording to Internet Explorer documentation, an RSS feed is defined as:
Feeds, also known as RSS feeds, XML feeds, syndicated content, or web feeds, contain frequently updated content published by a website. They are usually used for news and blog websites, but are also used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio files, or video. Internet Explorer can discover and display feeds as you visit websites. You can also subscribe to feeds to automatically check for and download updates that you can view later.
Welcome to Implementing User Management in ASP.NET 2.0 Part 2. In this second and final tutorial we will expand upon the foundation we built during part 1 for managing users in a web application through a custom SQL provider.
Read MoreWelcome to the second and final part of this 2 part series regarding object oriented data access in ASP.NET 2.0. During object oriented data access in ASP.NET part 1 we began laying the foundation for a multi tiered ASP.NET application that utilized several key features of object oriented design.
Read MoreThe .NET 2.0 framework has brought developers many new useful features and a whole host of new built-in functionality that can be utilized in everyday development. One of the more complex new built in features is user management.
User management, membership, profiles, roles, security, authentication, authorization, it can go by a number of different names and definitions. The bottom line is that most web applications require some form of storing user accounts, their information, and usually at bare minimum their logon credentials.
Read MoreWith the complexity of applications these days, developers must take special care to make sure that their code is robust, scalable and re-usable. Depending on the size of the application you’re creating the thought of manually coding your own data access layer might seem like a huge overhead.
The problem with some of the controls provided by the .NET framework is that they essentially eliminate the developer from the coding equation, and instead provide default built in plumbing for a lot of common features an application may require. If your client requires a very simple, small scale application that only provides a minimal set of features you can usually get away with this approach.
Read MoreWith the release of .NET 2.0 comes the learning curve of a new technology. Once again we all get to stumble through becoming familiar with a new set of .NET user interface controls. It’s an evolutionary process, whereby the benefits and shortcomings of these new controls are exposed over time.
There are of course new developers who never had to suffer through the evolution of the .NET 1.x DataGrid control. This was probably the largest focus of much research and information available on the Internet as developers tried to find myriads of different uses for this control.
