Sometimes, just creating dynamic Web pages with the latest languages and databases just does not give you , the developer enough control over an application. At times, you need to be able to dig deeper and create applications that can interact with the Web Server itself. You want to be able to interact with the low level processes such as how the Web Server processes incoming and outgoing HTTP requests. Before ASP.NET, in order to get this level of control using IIS, you were forced to create ISAPI extensions or filters. This proved to be quite daunting and painful task for many developers because creating ISAPI extensions and filters required knowledge of C/C++ and knowledge of how to create native Win32 DLLs. Thankfully, in .NET world, creating these types of low level applications is really no more difficult than most other tasks you would normally perform.

In the previous release of ASP.NET, the page developer could turn encryption on and off at the application level through a config setting. When validation was set to 3DES, ViewState was encrypted before being rendered in the page. To reduce the chance of someone intercepting the information stored in the ViewState, it is good design to encrypt the ViewState. You could do this in previous releases of ASP.NET, but the support for encryption has been improved in ASP.NET 2.0, allowing you to set this on a page-by-page basis.

Tutorial explains how to protect web.config sensitive informations, like connection strings, usually stored as plain text.

Tutorial explains how to store to database and get back binary data, like images, .pdf or .zip files. There is an option to store this type of data to web server file system. But, there is also an option to store it to database and return it with ASP.NET server code.

One of important goals of any application development process is making data presentation richer. ASP.NET 2.0 provides many server controls which render data in different rich formats and styles. Repeater control is one of most popular controls for displaying data in different layouts.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a meta-markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. XML is the universal language for data exchange on the Web. This article gives an idea of improvements and changes to XML classes in .NET Framework 2.0 with sample code in VB.NET.

When you reading, or writing a file or folders in Web application, you are actually executing on behalf of the users that being assigned to your web application and mostly it is under ASP.NET user or Network Service user. You need to make sure that the user itself has write or read access for the particular file or directory you are working on.

ADO.NET was first introduced in version 1.0 of the .NET Framework and provided an extensive array of features to handle data either live,while connected to the database ,or when disconnected.. With the introduction of ADO.NET 2.0, you can have more features and easier programming model. Some of the newly added features include the capability to to bulk load large quantities of data from varieties of sources, to batch process updates to the database with fewer roundtrips back to the database server, to reuse the same live connection for multiple operations as well as to achieve asynchronous access to the database.

This is the final part of a series on C# 3.0. It covers Linq - Language Integrated Query. It explains what declarative programming is, how Linq fits in with this paradigm and why it is a good thing, before explaining how to write Linq queries using a variety of basic and advanced features. Finally, the architecture of Linq is examined, with some notes on DLinq and XLinq.

This is the third of a four part series on C# 3.0. It covers new features that will help you to build data structures more easily, including object and collection initializers. It then moves on to anonymous types, which are useful in Linq, and how type equivalence works with anonymous types.
