ASP.NET 2.0 Master Pages

ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a new concept known as Master Pages, in which you create a common base master file that provides a consistent layout for multiple pages in your application. To create a Master Page, you identify common appearance and behavior factors for the pages in your application, and move those to a master page. In the master page, you add placeholders called ContentPlaceHolders where the content (child) pages will insert their custom content. When users request the content pages, ASP.NET merges the output of the content pages with the output of the master page, resulting in a page that combines the master page layout with the output of the content page. In this article, you’ll take a look at the theory behind the master pages and see how to leverage the new Master Pages feature in a Web application. Along the way, you’ll also see some of the advanced concepts of master pages, such as accessing master page controls from code in content pages, nesting master pages, and configuring master page for an entire Web application.

ASP.Net

Three kinds of server controls

ASP.NET has solved the “spaghetti-code” problem described above with server controls.

Server controls are tags that are understood by the server.
There are three kinds of server controls:
* HTML Server Controls – Traditional HTML tags

* Web Server Controls – New ASP.NET tags

* Validation Server Controls – For input validation

IIS

Integrated Windows Authentication (IIS 6.0)

With Integrated Windows authentication (formerly called NTLM, and also known as Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication), the user name and password (credentials) are hashed before being sent across the network. When you enable Integrated Windows authentication, the client browser proves its knowledge of the password through a cryptographic exchange with your Web server, involving hashing.

Win XP Pro and IIS 5.1 Issues with .net Framework 2.0

I installed the new beta of .net framework and my asp stopped responding. I

don’t know what to look for and turn back on so that I can get asp to start

working again. Has anyone else had this issue? Have you corrected it and how?
From the command line

1) CD to the C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.14322

Tips & tricks

Minimize Outlook 2002 to the Tray

*** Outlook 2003 has the capability to minimize to tray built in ***

If you want to “tray” Outlook you need to create this registry key and set the value of MinToTray to 1.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Preferences]
“MinToTray”=dword:00000001

To start the registry editor, from the Start menu, Run dialog, enter regedit. That will open the registry editor. Browse down the tree until you get to Preferences under Outlook. On the right side of the screen, right click as choose New | DWORD, as shown in the screenshot. Name it MinToTray and change the value to 1 (right click on it after naming it and choose Modify)

Close outlook and reopen it for the change to take effect. Now when you minimize it, there will be an icon in the tray area. Double click on it to restore. To remove the feature, delete or rename the key.

If you don’t want to edit the registry, MVP Ken Slovak has included the ability to change it from a Tools | Options dialog in his newest version of Attachment Options.
