Recently, I had a requirement to put together a website that deals with taking somewhat elaborate financial surveys. While the questions and answers themselves are good candidates for being database driven, there were a large number of nuiances ranging from UI items, business rules, and calculations that just didn't fit into a database driven strategy. With this in mind, my initial strategy was to create version specific classes and reference them in version specific ASP.NET pages. Of course, this accomplished the initial requirement. However, whenever a new version needs to be implemented, I had to copy all of the ASP.NET pages and modify the references to the appropriate version specific class name. Refactoring provides a better alternative and here's how:

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML standard for declaring content entries for small content feeds. The RSS format has gained popularity over the years due to its simplicity.

The objective of this lab is to convert a simple JSP application into an ASP.NET application using the Java Language Conversion Assistant (JLCA). The JSP application is a simplified e-commerce scenario, consisting of two JSP pages, a Servlet, a tag library consisting of a single tag, and the SQL Server Pubs database.

ASP.NET is built on a core set of classes and interfaces that abstract the HTTP protocol. The three core abstractions are the context (HttpContext) that represents the current HTTP request, handlers (classes that implement IHttpHandler) that are capable of servicing HTTP requests, and modules (classes that implement IHttpModule) that can pre/post process HTTP requests to provide additional services.

RSS (Rich Site Summary) news feeds are easily consumed and displayed in an ASP.NET web forms page using no more than a few lines of codes. However, listing the RSS news feed links in this fashion can take up considerable page space. Instead, it would be more convenient to display them in a small embedded window that automatically scrolls them to the user. This method substantially reduces the page real estate devoted to the news feed, while displaying the same information in a compact, attractive, and intuitive manner. Once you have developed a method for displaying RSS news in this format, it would be still more convenient to implement the method as a custom control that you can add to any ASP.NET web forms page with just a few lines of code. This article shows you how. In this article, you will learn how to create the illusion of continuous seamless scrolling by: 1) using two datagrids to display the same listing; and 2) scrolling the entire total list, but then repeating the scrolling when it has passed over the first list.
