submitted by dpeterson(3474) 1 month, 2 days ago

Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind.

Check out that absolutely awesome stuff you can do with them now! read more...

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(1907) 1 month, 3 days ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new set of APIs that you can use to enrich your applications. As an example you are now able to update your tiles from inside the application and you can use double faced tiles to improve information to the user. In this article I would like to explore these new features and show how to take advantage of them, while porting your software to the new operating system. read more...

OWASP Top 10 for .NET devs part 8: Failure to Restrict URL Access(www.troyhunt.com)

submitted by troyhunt(696) 6 months, 11 days ago

What makes this particular risk so dangerous is that not only can it be used to very, very easily exploit an application, it can be done so by someone with no application security competency – it’s simply about accessing a URL they shouldn’t be. On the positive side, this is also a fundamentally easy exploit to defend against. ASP.NET provides both simple and efficient mechanisms to authenticate users and authorise access to content. In fact the framework wraps this up very neatly within the provider model which makes securing applications an absolute breeze. read more...
