As the attacks in which hackers use become more and more sophisticated, and the programs in which they attack become increasingly complex, encryption is becoming the last line of defense in database management system (DBMS) security. Since Microsoft announced their Trustworthy Computing security initiatives four years ago, the industry has been waiting to see how these initiatives would be implemented in upcoming products. With the introduction of Microsoft's newest DBMS, SQL Server 2005, it does indeed seem as though they have provided what they have promised.

What follows is a two-part article series that provides an in-depth examination of encrypting data in SQL Server 2005. In this article we will exploring key challenges facing database systems and the motivations for providing robust encryption mechanisms directly within the database system. We will also look at encryption fundamentals and SQL Server 2005's encryption capabilities.

In this article, I am going to explain how to use Javascript, Ajax and C# to create a chat room.

Most Design Pattern documentation targets desktop applications or discusses pattern theory, but in this series you'll find a discussion and examples of patterns specifically targeted at ASP.NET.

The fiinal tutorial on master/detail reports. We'll look at how to display a list of products in a GridView where each row has a Select button. Clicking the Select button will display that product's details in a DetailsView control on the same page.

While master/detail reports can display both the master and detail records on a single page, on many Web sites they are separated out across two Web pages. In this tutorial we looked at how to implement such a master/detail report.

The DropDownList serves as an ideal user interface element for master/detail reports where there is a one-to-many relationship between the master and detail records.

A common type of report is the master/detail report, in which the report begins by showing some set of "master" records. The user can then drill down into one of the master records, thereby viewing that master record's "details." Master/detail reports are an ideal choice for visualizing one-to-many relationships, such as a report showing all of the categories and then allowing a user to select a particular category and display its associated products. Additionally, master/detail reports are useful for displaying detailed information from particularly "wide" tables (ones that have a lot of columns). For example, the "master" level of a master/detail report might show just the product name and unit price of the products in the database, and drilling down into a particular product would show the additional product fields (category, supplier, quantity per unit, and so on).

There are many ways with which a master/detail report can be implemented. Over this and the next three tutorials we'll look at a variety of master/detail reports. In this tutorial we'll see how to display the master records in a DropDownList control and the details of the selected list item in a GridView. In particular, this tutorial's master/detail report will list category and product information.
