The person logs out of the site, and is redirected back to the login page. The person then can hit "back" and go right back to the page where the sensitive information is con...
We create new sites in IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003) using IIS Manager. When these sites are created in IIS 6, the ASP.NET version defaults to ASP.NET 1.1. We would like it to default to ASP.NET 2.0. The reason this is a problem for us is that when you take any site on the server and switch the ASP.NET version from ASP.NET 1.1 to ASP.NE...
The company where I work created this application which is core to our business and relies on the web browser to enforce certain "rules" that without them renders the application kinda useless to our customers. Sorry about having to be circumspect, An NDA along with a host of other things prevents me from saying exactly what the applica...

Currently what I'm doing is using the cod...
I am refactoring some CSS on a website I have been working on, and noticed the absence of traditional HTML IDs in the code. There is heavy use of CssClass='', or sometimes just class='', but I can't seem to find a way to say id='' and not have it swapped out by the server. Here is an example: <span id='position_title' runat='server'>Ma...

Is it possible to use OpenID for both .NET web sites and PHP websites (Apache/Linux)? I have a manager that wants single sign-on for access to any/all web sites, regardless of which web server hosts a web site.

I've been looking at ways to implement gmail-like messaging inside a browser, and arrived at the Comet concept. However, I haven't been able to find a good .NET implementation that allows me to do this within IIS (our application is written in ASP.NET 2.0). The solutions I found (or could think of, for that matter) require leaving a ru...
There are many different flavored HTML WYSIWYG editors from javascript to ASP.Net web controls, but all too often the features are the same. Does anyone have a favorite HTML editor they like to use in projects? Why? ...
Or vice versa. Update: Hmm, let's assume I have a shopping cart app, the user clicks on the Checkout button. The next thing I want to do is send the user to a Invoice.aspx page (or similar). When the user hits checkout, I could Button.PostBackURL = "Invoice.aspx" or I could do Server.Transfer("Invoice.aspx") (I also changed the t...
When I am working with ASP.NET, I find that there are always unexpected things I run into that take forever to debug. I figure that having a consolidated list of these would be great for those "weird error" circumstances, plus to expand our knowledge of oddness in the platform. So: answer with one of your "Gotcha"s! I'll start: Under A...
I bought an ASP.NET script about a year ago to retrieve FedEx shipping values. It builds an XML string that passes to the FedEx server using an HttpWebRequest, then parses the raw XML. The average response time for the script is about 900 milliseconds. So the other day I was poking around in the FedEx developer center and discover...
I am implementing a quite simple state-machine order processing application. It is a e-commerce application with a few twists. The users of the application will not be editing workflows by themselves. Microsoft claims that asp.net and Windows Workflow is possible to combine. How hard is it to install and maintain a combination of asp.ne...
I have found that skin files only work if they are placed at the root theme folder in the App_Themes folder. For example, if you have 2 themes in the App_Themes folder, you cannot add another sub folder to the theme folder and place a seperate skin file in that subfolder. It's not much of a limitation, but it would give you more flex...
