I'm working on a drop in assembly that has predefined pages and usable controls. I am having no difficulties with creating server controls, but I'm wondering what the "best practices" are with dealing with pages in an assembly. Can you compile a page into an assembly and release it as just a dll? How would this be accessed from the cl...
I have a page where I submit some data, and return to the original form with a "Save Successful" message. However, the user would like the ability to return to the previous page they were at (which contains search results) by clicking the browser's Back button.

I haven't used Visual Studio since VB 3 and am trying to give it a shot with ASP.NET. It seems that it should be able to connect to a website (via some sort of ftp like protocol I figure) and allow to edit without having to manually upload/download the files. Is this the way it is supposed to work or am I mis-understanding? I have tried ...

I need to retrieve a record from a database, display it on a web page (I'm using ASP.NET) but store the ID (primary key) from that record somewhere so I can go back to the database later with that ID (perhaps to do an update). I know there are probably a few ways to do this, such as storing the ID in ViewState or a hidden field, but wha...
I work in a Microsoft environment, so I can use my C# hammer on any nails I come across. That being said, what languages (compiled, interpreted, scripting, functional, any types!) complement knowing C#, and for what purposes?

I am curious as to what others are using in this situation. I know a couple of the options that are out there like a memcached port or ScaleOutSoftware. The memcached ports don't seem to be actively worked on (correct me if I'm wrong). ScaleOutSoftware is too expensive for me (I don't doubt it is worth it). This is not to say that I ...

I'm working on a project that generates PDFs that can contain fairly complex math and science formulas. The text is rendered in Times New Roman, which has pretty good Unicode coverage, but not complete. We have a system in place to swap in a more unicode complete font for code points that don't have a glyph in TNR (like most of the "str...
Here's the situation: I have a label's text set, immediately followed by a response.redirect() call as follows (this is just an example, but I believe it describes my situation accurately): aspx: <asp:Label runat="server" Text="default text" /> Code-behind (code called on an onclick event): Label.Text = "foo"; Response.Redirect("Def...
