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..

Online Article: ASP.NET 2.0 Web Part Infrastructure

Web applications today do a number of things. They could be a banking site, a content management system, or a news Web site. In spite of the diversity of Web applications available today, it almost always makes sense to break a Web page into smaller, reusable widgets

The Membership API in the .NET Framework provides the concept of a user account and associates with it core properties: username, passsword, email, security question and answer, whether or not the account has been approved, whether or not the user is locked out of the system, and so on. However, depending on the application's needs, chances are your application needs to store additional, user-specific fields. For example, an online messageboard site might want to also allow users to specify a signature, their homepage URL, and their IM address.

ASP.NET 2.0 Profile system can be used to store user-specific information. The Profile system allows the page developer to define the properties she wants to associate with each user. Once defined, the developer can programmatically read from and assign values to these properties. The Profile system accesses or writes the property values to a backing store as needed. Like Membership and Roles, the Profile system is based on the provider model, and the particular Profile provider is responsible for serializing and deserializing the property values to some data store. The .NET Framework ships with a SqlProfileProvider class by default, which uses a SQL Server database table (aspnet_Profile) as its backing store.

In this article we will examine the Profile system - how to define the user-specific properties and interact with them programmatically from an ASP.NET page - as well as look at using the SqlProfileProvider that ships with .NET 2.0.
