There are so many different options coming out of microsoft for data access. Which one is the best for scalable apps? Linq Should we be using Linq? It certainly seems easy but if you know your SQL does it really help. Also I hear that you can't run Async queries in ASP.NET using Linq. Therefore I wonder if it is really scalable? Are th...
I have an application that runs as a child application in a virtual directory. I want to pass a value from the parent application, but I believe that Session is keyed per application, and won't work. To further complicate things, the parent application is WebForms, while the child is NVelocity MVC. Does anyone know a trick that allows...

During a discussion about security, a developer on my team asked if there was a way to tell if viewstate has been tampered with. I'm embarrassed to say that I didnt know the answer.

I have a WPF application in VS 2008 with some web service references. For varying reasons (max message size, authentication methods) I need to manually define a number of settings in the WPF client's app.config for the service bindings.

A J2ME client is sending HTTP POST requests with chunked transfer encoding. When ASP.NET (in both IIS6 and WebDev.exe.server) tries to read the request it sets the Content-Length to 0.

Hi There. I am in the process of beginning work on several ASP.NET custom controls. I was wondering if I could get some input on your guys/girls thoughts on how you apply styling to your controls.
