A Web Specialist

Before some iPhone owners run off in objection to the article’s title, let me first say I've owned three iPhones and was one of Apple’s biggest supporters. But after 4 years, the thrill has gone. For starters, the screen was too tiny albeit Apple finally increased it by a mild half inch; and, although the software was interesting, it was not robust enough for me.

Money has no intrinsic value. As we enter this new age brought on by the Internet, our conditioned mind is now being confronted by this new paradigm as we reinvent new ways of doing business and move through life.

In general, the Profile provider is used to save and retrieve user data (including anonymous user data) to and from the aspnet_Profile table (part of the existing aspnetdb database). This information tracks the logged on user or anonymous user and can save several defined pieces of data while modifying this data as the user navigates through the Website.

When the user selects a page index displayed in a GridView (represented as a number either in the GridView’s header, footer or both), the “SortDataTable” function (described below) is called to handle the paging or displaying of the next set of records. In this example, 10 records are displayed at one time in the GridView.

Back in the late 1990s, creating CSS Websites with multiple columns was at best a hack job. When it came to designing the user interface, I would use tables and nested tables … and more nested tables.

ASP.NET uses an ASP.NET site map provider to display Website menus, and authorization controls to protect certain Web pages based on user roles. The following is an outline of the locations of navigation settings and controls:

The ASP.NET Membership and Roles services provide built-in code (from the ASP.NET object model) that is used to manage users and their roles. This code is accessed through several ASP.NET Login controls and methods.
