Take advantage of inheritance in the .NET Framework to extend ASP.NET classes to make them generate ASP.NET code that is fully accessible to people with disabilities.

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.

Shows and explains you how to make an ASP .NET Web Service, an ASP .NET Web Application and how to consume the Web Service with the ASP .NET Web Application.

This article walks you through the process of building a thin-client ASP.NET bug tracking application, with a Microsoft Access XP backend. It uses nearly every documented capability of the .NET datagrid web server control to allow you to select, edit, update, or delete any item listed in the datagrid. The Issue Tracker uses advanced features, such as reading values from lookup tables, and then conveniently providing these values to the user in Edit mode as dropdownlists. It also employs the IE Web Controls, including the Tab and MultiPane web controls, which allow you to display considerable user functionality on only one web page, yet without cluttering the user interface with confusing complexity. After working through this tutorial, you will have explored and applied all of the main functionalities of the ASP.NET DataGrid control. Happy Coding!

This article explains how to use the .NET XmlTextWriter class to create a custom RSS feed. I have decided to write this article in 2 parts. In this part, I will focus on creating the RSS feed and how to consume it from an asp.net page. In part 2, I will focus on creating a dynamic RSS feed with ADO.NET.

We probably all remember how agonizing it is to create client-side cookies using JavaScript. HttpCookie class offers an easier way to accomplish the task and with minimal fuss. This article takes a close look at HttpCookie class and how to use it to store cookies on the client machine.

In this article, we will look at some of the architectural and design decisions that may affect ASP.NET application scalability. In addition, you will leanr how you can use Enterprise Services and MSMQ to reduce the effect of those scalability problems.

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.

If you want to run ASP.NET web applications on your local computer, you must have both Internet Information Services (IIS) and ASP.NET installed. IIS is necessary for providing web service and ASP.NET is necessary for providing handling of the family of ASP.NET web applications (ASPX, ASMX, etc). IIS is installed by default for installations of Windows 2000 and Windows XP. ASP.NET is installed by default during .NET Framework installation. However, if you attempt to install the .NET Framework on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine that doesn't have IIS installed, the .NET Framework installation will detect that IIS is not available and thus will not install ASP.NET component of the framework. If you subsequently install IIS at a later time, you will have to install ASP.NET manually. Likewise, if you have both IIS and .NET installed on your computer, and then later un-install IIS, this uninstallation will also uninstall the ASP.NET component of the .NET Framework. If you later re-install IIS, you will have re-install ASP.NET manually. This article walks you through the re-installation of ASP.NET for a computer already running IIS.
