ASP.NET MVC Tip #48 – Disable Request Validation(stephenwalther.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 3 months ago

By default, the ASP.NET MVC framework prevents you from submitting form data that contains potentially malicious content. This feature is called request validation. This is a good feature. You don't want people sneaking scripts into your website that can steal passwords or other sensitive user information. Normally, you want to leave request validation enabled. Unlike a Web Forms application, you cannot disable request validation by using the <%@ Page ValidateRequest=”false” %> directive. You also cannot disable request validation in the web configuration (web.config) file. If you want to disable request validation then you must use the [ValidateInput] attribute. You apply the [ValidateInput] attribute to the controller action that accepts the form input. read more...

What is a Technology Evangelist?(blog.sqlauthority.com)

submitted by pinaldave(9662) 1 year, 3 months ago

Technology evangelists are individuals who, professionally or in their spare time, spread the news about the latest new products. Sounds like a salesperson, right? No they are absolutely different. Salespeople also keep up to date with a large number of people, and like to convince others to buy their product – and some will go to any lengths to sell! An evangelist, on the other hand, is brutally honest about the product, even if sometimes it means not making a sale. An evangelist is out there to tell the TRUTH. A salesperson needs to make sales. read more...

submitted by galratner(334) 1 year, 4 months ago

System.IO.Packaging provides storage support for multiple data objects in a single container. System.IO.Packaging uses the ZIP file format as its primary physical format for a Package. Other Package implementations might use an XML document, a database, or Web service. The following contains a utility class I wrote to help zip a file or a folder into a ZIP archive. This is an asynchronous as is suitable for invoking from a WPF or a Silverlight Application when we need to display a progress bar. Here is the code: read more...

SSL is not about encryption(www.troyhunt.com)

submitted by troyhunt(831) 1 year, 4 months ago

It’s about assurance. It’s about establishing a degree of trust in a site’s legitimacy that’s sufficient for you to confidently transmit and receive data with the knowledge that it’s reaching its intended destination without being intercepted or manipulated in the process. Last week I wrote a (slightly) tongue-in-cheek post about the Who’s who of bad password practices. I was critical of a number of sites not implementing SSL as no indication of it was present in the browser. “But wait!” some commenters shouted, “you can still post to HTTPS and the data will be encrypted” they yelled, “stop propagating fear and misunderstanding”, they warned. I thought carefully about these responses and made a little update at the end of the post but the story of posting data from HTTP to HTTPS is worth more than just a footnote. The real misunderstanding in this story is believing that just because the credentials are encrypted in transit, SSL has been properly implemented. Let’s took a good look at what’s wrong with that belief and why there’s more to SSL than just encryption. read more...

ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM Released!(www.microsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 4 months ago

ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD). The installation package includes templates and tools for Visual Studio 2010 to increase productivity when writing ASP.NET MVC applications. For example, the Add View dialog box takes advantage of customizable code generation (T4) templates to generate a view based on a model object. The default project template allows the developer to automatically hook up a unit-test project that is associated with the ASP.NET MVC application. Because the ASP.NET MVC framework is built on ASP.NET 4, developers can take advantage of existing ASP.NET features like authentication and authorization, profile settings, localization, and so on. read more...
