I'm using a Rich Text Box to display the text from the database. We want to allow the users to use basic formatting (bold,...
I just swiched to a new ASP.NET host and it seems it is behaving differently. In the code for the master page it is attempting too do some different logic for authenticated users by this. if (Context.User.IsAuthenticated) { } But the Context.User object is null. But it's only null on the master page. If I use it on the regular page it...
When it comes to URL Rewriting there are some alternatives these days like the IIS7 module or Urlrewriter.NET. However, as far as I can see those two are based on wildcards which I sadly cannot use. My problem is that the data I'm working with have no real structure. A made up example: Something.aspx?page=4 might be /Weapons/Flails/ So...

I'm looking for an article that will dive deep into how ASP.NET works and how it renders controls from XML markup. For example, under the hood, how does ASP.NET take the following markup and have it produce the results we see? <asp:Label ID="MyLabel"><%= myObject.Text%></asp:Label> Does anybody know of any article that will dive deep i...

I'm trying to fully understand the WebForm event model (not the page lifecycle, but how the events are wired up when specified declaratively in the .aspx or .ascx files. Take the Button control for example. It has a Click event that you can wire to in the code-behind, but it has an "OnClick" event in the .aspx/.ascx file. I used the .N...
I have an ASP.NET webform on which I use a DropDownList control to allow the user to select an item and see related results.

I'm working on a web forms application which intends to be ported over to MVC for its vNext +1 release. But at the moment it's a .NET 3.5 SP1 web forms application. I'm wanting to have our own context which provides some helpers on top of the standard HttpContext/ HttpRequest/ HttpResponse/ etc objects. Also, I'm wanting to have decoupl...

We have a large legacy application where we want to start using MVC for new functionality. To do this we added custom routing, for instance: routes.IgnoreRoute( "{*allaspx}", new { allaspx = @".*\.as[pmh]x(/.*)?" } ); And we want to share the master page between the old WebForms and the new MVC pages. This seems simple enough - chan...
