This article introduces you to the two primary aspects of working with .NET web services: building your own custom web service and building the inerface necessary for harnessing the capabilities of a remotely distributed web service. The first part of this tutorial walks you through all the steps for building your own, simple web service, and the second part walks you through the steps necessary for building and then integrating a remote web service's capabilities into your own application. This tutorial also provides a link for downloading all code associated with this tutorial. Happy Coding!

Marcus Mac Innes demonstrates how security on a web site can be compromised by taking advantage of holes within the application code. These holes can be discovered by using a series of probes which disclose whether or not vulnerability exists. He also demonstrated using a Cross Site Scripting attack how the Forms Authentication cookie could be stolen and silently sent to an attacker's website to be stored for later use. The key message of the talk is to ensure that all user input is validated before any other processing is done. This together with strict use of secure coding standards would have disabled any attacker's opportunities. Source code included.

The new security components in .NET 2.0 can help you greatly reduce the amount of code you need to write in order to make your applications secure. Security is difficult to get right, and it is a good strategy to leverage the code provided by Microsoft and other security vendors. To that end, .NET 2.0 provides numerous additional types that encapsulate functionality already provided in the base Windows OS., as well a new functionality only available in .NET 2.0. The improvements affect public key cryptography, Windows security, remoting, ASP.NET and Code Access Security. Even if you plan to stick with .NET 1.1 for a while and implement your own security classes, you might want to take inspiration from.NET 2.0 beta.

Take advantage of inheritance in the .NET Framework to extend ASP.NET classes to make them generate ASP.NET code that is fully accessible to people with disabilities.

In this article, we will look at some of the architectural and design decisions that may affect ASP.NET application scalability. In addition, you will leanr how you can use Enterprise Services and MSMQ to reduce the effect of those scalability problems.

Recently we had a Website that was redone from a large static site to a dynamically driven site in ASP.Net. The original site was heavily indexed by the major spiders on the Web, we did not want to lose the reference links in the engines and wanted to make sure the link clicked on would go to an appropriate paged in the site. In this article we cover how to create a document mapper so the old URL is redirected to the new related page within the new site.

Web Services Enhancements for Microsoft .NET (WSE) provides an implementation of the Web services architecture for developers creating Web services by using ASP.NET and Microsoft .NET Framework client applications. It allows developers to incorporate security, routing, and attachment features in their application.

Explans in details how to use XML automatic documentation tags in ASP.NET 2.0 source code. We will illustrate in more details how you can benefit from this technique to the most extent by using some other recommended XML tags to give more comprehensiveness and functionality to your final documentation file.
