PHP is a scripting language where code is evaluated at run-time, and therefore it is fairly simple to add code.. at run-time (think: a forum, a contact form, etc.) Doing the same in ASP.NET (which is compiled).. not as simple. Have you guys got any thoughts on how you wo...
Using ASP.NET 3.5 with VB codebehind. I don't want to use a webservice to populate an autocomplete extender on a textbox. In this case, it's where the user is entering email addresses and I don't want to make a trip to the database every single time. I'd much rather keep a collection in session state and 'bind' the autocomplete to tha...

After posting this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/781189/how-to-lock-on-an-integer-in-c Many of the answers made me feel that I'm a 'sinner' for using lock in my web apps. I never thought this is a problem (if used wisely), what about you? Do you ever use it in your web applications? I don't see how a web application can...

In ASP.NET, is there any way to get the real raw URL? For example, if a user browse to "http://example.com/mypage.aspx/%2F", I would like to be able to get "http://example.com/mypage.aspx/%2F" rather than "http://example.com/mypage.aspx//". I would of course like a clean way to do it, but I can live with a hacky approach using reflecti...

One suggested solution to this has been to store the session ID within FormsAuthenticationTicket.UserData and to check that the two values match inside Ap...

I had a developer tell me recently that you should ALWAYS do database calls asynchronously. (Either using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem or IAsyncResult and delegates) His justification was this: IIS only has 24 (or so) threads that it can use for requests. When a user makes a request they get one of those threads. However, when you use a...
Curious whether folks have setup 2 way transactional replication on the tables ASP.NET uses for SqlServer stored session state (ASPStateTempSessions and ASPStateTempApplications) and the tables used for membership, role, and personalization? How did it work out? Were there any gotchas? ...
