One very popular option for implementing user security in ASP.NET is to use Forms Authentication with the SQL Server membership provider. This provider creates several database tables to store user-related information, as well as a number stored procedures.
From time to time, a developer will attempt to add the ASP.NET Membership/Forms Authentication tables to their Entity [...]
Version 3.5.2 of jqGrid included an important new feature:
Now when autoencode is set to true we encode the data coming from server and not only when we post it (secutity fix)
Prior to this, you were required to encode the data yourself.
Now personally, I think that should be the default. But it would have been a [...]
In this post I will demonstrate that use of the join keyword in LINQ to SQL and LINQ to Entities is nearly always wrong. LINQ queries which you write with the join keyword are harder to read and write than queries you write using associations, and they require knowledge of database metadata which is not [...]
Tagged entity framework, linq, linq to sqlIn this post, I will demonstrate how to map entity models to views in an ASP.NET MVC application without worrying about implementation details like eager loading, lazy loading, or having to manually optimize SQL for the task at hand. I will argue that expressing the relationship between an entity model in the presentation model in [...]

New Features
Some of the new features of preview 2 have been discussed elsewhere, so I won’t rehash them. [...]

If you are developing a web application which requires authentication or security features not included in the regular ASP.NET membership feature, you might decide to implement these features yourself. But it seems as if the first instinct of many ASP.NET MVC developers is to do this by customizing their Controllers, because they’ve decided that AuthorizeAttribute [...]

How to Think Like the ADO.NET Entity Framework
(and why you might want to bother learning to do so in the first place)
In order to use the ADO.NET Entity Framework effectively, you must understand its value-based data model, which is [...]
This past weekend I, along with around 50 other local geeks, volunteered three days of my time to build web applications for eight different Columbus-area nonprofits. Columbus Give Camp is based on a similar series of events in Michigan. The Columbus Give Camp was hosted by Quick Solutions, who, conveniently, are located five floors above [...]
Tagged columbus, givecamp, Ruby, unit testing, WebA couple of weeks ago, I wrote In LINQ, Beware of Skip(0). In that post, I observed that calling Skip(0) on a query result in LINQ, which has no effect on the dataset returned, imposes a performance penalty with at least some LINQ providers. At the time I commented that there might be some desirable [...]
