Protecting Your Cookies: HttpOnly(codinghorror.com)

submitted by ourcurrentfuture(1225) 3 years, 8 months ago

HttpOnly cookies don't make you immune from XSS cookie theft, but they raise the bar considerably. It's practically free, a "set it and forget it" setting that's bound to become increasingly secure over time as more browsers follow the example of IE7 and implement client-side HttpOnly cookie security correctly. If you develop web applications, or you know anyone who develops web applications, make sure they know about HttpOnly cookies.originated from, so there is no cross-domain posting of the cookies. read more...

Creating a Required Input Server Control (blog.ourcurrentfuture.com)

submitted by ourcurrentfuture(1225) 3 years, 9 months ago

The less elements we need to add to a page, the less time it takes to do so. read more...

Using a DataPager with the GridView Control(mattberseth.com)

submitted by ourcurrentfuture(1225) 4 years, 1 month ago

One of the new controls that shipped with ASP.NET 3.5 is the DataPager. It's a flexible control that renders the paging elements data-bound controls that implement the IPageableItemContainer interface (currently only the ListView control). The big change with the DataPager is that it is decoupled from the data-bound control it provides paging support for. It can be embedded somewhere within the data-bound control's control hierarchy (like contained within the LayoutTemplate of the ListView), but it doesn't have to - It can exist on its own outside of the data-bound control as well. read more...
