Apply ASP.NET Authentication and Authorization Rules to Static Content with IIS 7.0’s Integrated Pipeline Feature

Many ASP.NET applications that support user accounts use forms-based authentication and URL authorization . Forms-based authentication is a mechanism by which users can log into the site by entering their credentials – typically a username and password – into textboxes in a login page. Once validated, the server returns an authentication ticket cookie that identifies the request; this cookie is sent back on subsequent visits to the site, which keeps the user “logged on” for the lifetime of the cookie or until the authentication ticket expires. URL authorization is a mechanism by which authorization rules can be defined on a URL-by-URL or folder-by-folder basis. In short, with URL authorization you can instruct the application to deny access to a particular folder to anonymous users, or prohibit access to a particular URL to all users except those in the Admin role

Locking the Screen During a Postback

In a perfect world all web applications would be snappy and responsive, and there would be no such thing as lengthy postback waits. But in the real world there are plenty of scenarios that take seconds to complete. For example, when a user visits a travel booking site like Expedia and enters his origination and destination information, it’s not unusual for it to take several seconds before the search results appear

Key Configuration Settings When Deploying a Web Application

The configuration information for an ASP.NET application is stored in one or more XML-based configuration files named Web.config . The default configuration settings for all web applications on the web server are spelled out in the Web.config file in the $WINDOWS$Microsoft.NETFramework version CONFIG folder. These default settings can be added to over overridden for a specific web application by the Web.config file in that application’s root directory. Moreover, these configuration settings can be customized for a web application on a folder-by-folder basis by adding Web.config files to the application’s subfolders
