Cleaning up .NET HTML generation
I am looking to clean up some of the HTML generated by a .NET 2.0 TreeView controller. Switching to another version/model is not an available option.

What do you feel is a better approach: Use the new nested master page capabilities to create 5 sub-master pages. Use a single master page and dynamically load user controls corresponding to each s...

1) user A goes to the site, creates an account, and logs in 2) user b goes to the site. Rather than having to log in, user b enters as though user b is user a.

Here is the current workflow I am using, but it seems suboptimal: I have an image control, a ...

I have a problem with Gridview sorting that is similar to others but I'm binding to a collection object as opposed to a data table.
