New Tutorial on ASP.NET Navigation

mca — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 07:50:05 +0000

Finally I made it. After struggling with many different things during past 2 months, scattered from developing custom courseware for SharePoint 2007 developer, custom adapter for Biztalk Server 2006, or even custom ribbon for Office 2007 :D.

All of those things are quite interesting and blow up my adrenaline. But to be frankly, it made my ASP.NET skills a little obsolete. I need to catch up again with alot of new things on the future web area: Silverlight, Orcas, Popfly. They are waiting to be explored.

Back to my writing, this is the 4th tutorial I made for ASP.NET 2.0. I wrote those labs manual based on several existing materials as the referrence. I went to MSDN website, digging my Teched 2006 DVD, and sometimes build my own sample code. This installment is about playing with web site navigation and do security trimming on it. It is a continuation of my previous writings about security control in ASP.NET.

I wrote the 3rd tutorial in ASP.NET 2.0, this is the continuation of the first tutorial in data access, and the second in master pages, themes, and multiview. This new hands on lab is about managing user data with membership provider. ASP.NET 2.0 provides a good and extensible membership framework for managing any membersip tasks. Most of the membership tasks are:

Handling user login and authentication
Securing particular page or area in the website.
Handing user registration and notification.
Password management (retrieving, reset, and validation).
Assign user to particular roles, moving user from role to another.
Creating new user and roles
And another so much functions...

New Tutorial: ASP.NET 2.0 Master Pages and Themes

mca — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 11:08:13 +0000

I wrote a new tutorial again, for whom who want to learn the concept of master page and themes in ASP.NET 2.0. The master page idea is really cool, you can place any contents that you want to display in several pages repeatly, just in one place. In the old ASP.NET 1.1 we have user control, but we still need to setup and do drag-drop on every pages to make a consistent layout. Or, if you proficient with CSS, you can use CSS approach for displaying consistent page layout across many pages.
