I have an ASP.NET app that writes files to a NETAPP. It's finicky, and the only way we could get it to work was to set <identity impersonate="true"/> and remove the <authentication.../> tag in web.config.

Currently in my ASP.Net applications web.config I have an application setting that stores a comma delimited list of mapping values, like the one below. In the code behind I need to perform a lookup on this data based on input values 1, 2, 3 etc. I can either string split it and loop until I find a match, or use Regex to pull the value fr...

I was looking at one of our legacy applications (ASP.NET 1.1/2.0 Web App) and had a tool to do a count of all key/value pairs. It seems that across 11 config files for the legacy application (app, web, data, and a bunch of custom config files) I found 1172 keys. I assume that some keys are no longer used and I wanted to convince the mana...

I have set up the Membership features and I was wondering what is the best way to ensure that no matter what address the user arrives at, they must first get authenticated before proceding to the page they requested.

I am using the Membership features in ASP .NET 2.0. I was wondering how I would implement a Forgot your password page when my application is configured to allow only authenticated users.
