By adding configuration design support, you can make your custom providers look and feel just like the built-in providers, letting users select them and provide settings through the Configuration Console.

In this article I intend to discuss Web Part connections, and finally finish at writing and deploying custom Web Parts in SharePoint 2007..

One of the most sure-fire ways to improve a web application's performance is to employ caching. Caching takes some expensive operation and stores its results in a quickly accessible location. ASP.NET version 1.0 introduced two flavors of caching:

• Output Caching - caches the entire rendered markup of an ASP.NET web page or User Control for a specified duration.
• Data Caching - a programmatically-accessible, in-memory data cache for storing objects in the web server's memory.

For a more in-depth discussion on ASP.NET 1.x's caching capabilities, refer to Scott McFarland's Caching with ASP.NET and Steve Smith's ASP.NET Caching: Techniques and Best Practices articles.

In ASP.NET 2.0, the caching system has been extended to include SQL cache dependencies, cache profiles, and post-cache substitution for output cached pages. The Caching for Performance section of the ASP.NET 2.0 QuickStarts provides a good overview of ASP.NET 2.0's caching options. This article explores output caching in ASP.NET 2.0, starting with an overview of output caching and followed by a detailed look at creating pages that include both cached and non-cached markup using fragment caching and post-cache substitution techniques.

Web Parts can help you build better Web sites. Find out why and learn the ins and outs of building and deploying them.

Explains how to build poll application in ASP.NET. Includes sample project with source code.

Have you ever wanted to emit standards compliant and CSS based markup rather than the default table based markup provided in ASP.NET 2.0? Adaptive control behavior in ASP.NET 2.0 gives you the ability to customize the functionality of ASP.NET controls.

ASP.NET 2.0 does not break any existing controls from 1.1, but it adds a whole bunch of new ones, as well as several new technologies for control development.

The Enterprise Library Application Blocks aren't useful only in Windows Forms applications; you can use them in ASP.NET too by downloading a set of patch files and configuring the security settings appropriately. Find out how.

ASP.NET 2.0 has unleashed a number of wonderful improvements for localizing Web applications. This article will help you apply extensibility features of ASP.NET to handle enterprise localization scenarios and improve your localization-development process.

In this article we'll examine how to build a tag cloud in ASP.NET. In this article we'll focus on accomplishing this through code in an ASP.NET page's code-behind class. In a future article, we'll move this code out of the ASP.NET page and into a stand alone, custom, compiled server control that supports data binding, use of declarative data source controls, and so on..
