In this article we will discuss the software tools that you will need to start developing in ASP.Net and point you in the direction of where they can be obtained.

TheCodeBehind is a combination blog and resource site for programmers and developers to share code, learn from each other and blog about whatever interests them.

Microsoft's .NET Framework 1.1 does not provide proper utilities to communicate with the serial ports on a Windows machine. The RS232 library and this quick tutorial will have you talking to a COM port on your machine in no time.

The tutorial covers what is .NET, what is ASP.NET and why use ASP.NET

ASP.NET solves many of the problems that currently face Web developers, and it greatly simplifies the tasks of creating, debugging, and deploying Web applications. It's radically different from its predecessors in many ways, but it shares a common heritage and background to some. It requires that you learn new skills and forget about some you already have. It'll take time to master, but that investment will be repaid many times over once you start working with it in earnest. In short, it's what many Web developers have been asking for over the past few years.

Marcus Mac Innes demonstrates how security on a web site can be compromised by taking advantage of holes within the application code. These holes can be discovered by using a series of probes which disclose whether or not vulnerability exists. He also demonstrated using a Cross Site Scripting attack how the Forms Authentication cookie could be stolen and silently sent to an attacker's website to be stored for later use. The key message of the talk is to ensure that all user input is validated before any other processing is done. This together with strict use of secure coding standards would have disabled any attacker's opportunities. Source code included.

We are now at the next stage of Active Server Pages development. ASP.NET takes Active Server Pages and rapid web application development to a whole new level. All of the benefits provided by Active Server Pages to web development have been expanded upon and improved. Many of the inherent hurdles and barriers that caused struggles and difficulties for web developers in earlier versions of ASP have been lowered or eliminated altogether.

Authorization Manager is a new model for application authorization on the Windows® platform. We will cover what they are, and the code necessary to create an ASP.NET application that utilizes Authorization Manager.

Every community site will have different requirements to fulfill. Although the existing CSK framework offers a great deal of flexibility, having the entire source code available means you can add additional functionality to a site in an elegant manner. In this chapter, we will concentrate on creating a new module for the CSK. We will see how creating a new module allows you to add entirely new features which integrate seamlessly with the rest of the framework. In this chapter, we will implement a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) module.
