This Wrox Blox teaches you how to use jQuery with your ASP.NET-based websites. jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript development and allows you to create highly interactive and responsive websites using the latest JavaScript and AJAX techniques. The author walks you through the jQuery API using a simple ASP.NET MVC application to highlight major topics, and shows how you can apply jQuery to your own applications. After learning the basics of using jQuery, you’ll discover how easy it is to use within your own ASP.NET projects. Whether you are using WebForms or the MVC framework, jQuery will greatly simplify your code. As you will quickly find out, jQuery really is the “write less, do more” framework.

This Wrox Blox will teach you how to unravel the mysteries of exception handling in ASP.NET. First, you’ll get a thorough introduction to structured exception handling in the .NET Framework, learn about the Exception class, the related C# language constructs, and how exceptions propagate up the call stack. Then, you’ll delve into a variety of practical topics such as: when, where, and how to properly throw, catch, and handle exceptions in your code; how to employ “defensive programming” techniques to avoid triggering the most common CLR exceptions; adopting exception handling “best practices,” handling exceptions from rich ASP.NET server controls, data-bound controls, data sources, and AJAX asynchronous postbacks; and processing unhandled exceptions at both the page and application levels. The author also walks you through the building of a complete, reusable, and fully configurable ASP.NET exception processing framework that extends far beyond ASP.NET’s built-in error handling capabilities. You’ll learn how to collect information about the state of the application when the exception occurred; how to leverage various ASP.NET state-handling mechanisms such as Application, Context, Session, ASP.NET Cache, cookies, and query strings to store and pass error data; create a friendly, informative, and highly functional custom error UI; show friendly error messages to “normal” visitors, while showing detailed error reports only to site managers based on authentication, authorization, or IP; provide a way for users to add their own information to error reports; persist errors to the Windows Event Log, XML files, or a custom database; send detailed error notifications via e-mail and SMS text; and build an administrative dashboard to list, sort, page, view, and manage error logs. Once complete, you’ll learn how to quickly and easily add this new framework to any web site you create using a simple .NET assembly. A complete sample application and C# source code for the exception processing framework are available as a companion download.

This book is intended for developers who are already familiar with and have a solid understanding of ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 security concepts, especially in the areas of forms authentication, page security, and website authorization. It assumes that you have a good understanding of the general functionality of Membership and Role Manager. It is also assumes that you have some familiarity working with ASP.NET AJAX 3.5. The book aims to “peel back the covers” of various ASP.NET security features so you can gain a deeper understanding of the security options available to you. Explaining the new IIS 7.0 and its Integrated mode of execution is also included in the book. This book was written using the .NET 3.5 Framework along with the .NET Framework SPI on both Windows Sever 2008 and Windows Vista. The sample code in the book has been verified to work with .NET 3.5 Framework and .NET 3.5 Framework SPI on Windows Vista. To run all of the samples in the book you will need the following: Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0) Visual Studio 2008 RTM Either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 A Window’s Sever 2008 domain running at Windows Server 2008 functional level This book covers many topics and areas in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5. It first introduces Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0). It goes on to explain in detail the new IIS 7.0 Integrated mode of execution. Next, detailed coverage of how security is applied when the ASP.NET application starts up and when a request is processed in the newly introduced integrated request-processing pipeline is discussed. After this, the book branches out and begins to cover security information for features such as trust levels, forms authentication, page security, and session state. This will show you how you can benefit from the IIS 7.0 Integrated mode to make better use of ASP.NET features. You will also gain an understanding of the lesser known security features in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5. In chapter 10 the book changes direction and addresses two security services in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5: Membership and Role Manager. You will learn about the provider model that underlies each of these features. The internals of the feature are also discussed, as well as the SQL- and Active Directory-based providers included with them. The discussion of ASP.NET features is continued in chapter 17, which is dedicated to the ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 security integration with ASP.NET 3.5; it will also show how to authenticate and authorize users with JavaScript code written from the client-side. The book closes with a chapter about the best practices ASP.Net developers should follow to protect their applications from attack. Chapter 1 starts by refreshing ideas on application pools and worker processes. It later gets into the major components that make up IIS 7.0. Chapter 2 begins by introducing the advantages of the IIS 7.0 and ASP.NET integrated mode. Chapter 3 gives you a walkthrough of the security processing that both IIS 7.0 and ASP.NET perform in the integrated/unified request-processing pipeline. Chapter 4 defines what an ASP.NET trust level is and how ASP.NET trust levels work to provide secure environments for running web applications. Chapter 5 covers the security features in the 2.0 and 3.5 Frameworks’ configuration systems. Chapter 6 explains ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5 features for forms authentication. Chapter 7 demonstrates using IIS 7.0 wildcard mappings and ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5 support for wildcard mappings to share authentication and authorization information with Classic ASP applications. Chapter 8 covers security features and guidance for session state. Chapter 9 describes some lesser known page security features from ASP.NET 1.1 and describes how ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5 options for securing viewstate and postback events. Chapter 10 gives you an architectural overview of the provider model in both ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5. Chapter 11 talks about the Membership feature in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5 Chapter 12 delves into both the SqlMembershipProvider as well as general database design assumptions that are included in all of ASP.NET 2.0’s and ASP.NET 3.5’s SQL-based features. Chapter 13 covers other membership provider that ships in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5-ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. Chapter 14 describes the Role Manager feature that provides built-in authorization support for ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5. Chapter 15 discusses the SqlRoleProvider and its underlying SQL schema. Chapter 16 covers the AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider, which is a provider that maps Role Manager functionality to the Authorization Manager. Chapter 17 discusses how ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 integrates with ASP.NET 3.5 Membership and Role management features through newly introduced web services. Chapter 18 covers the best practices that can be followed to secure ASP.NET applications.
