ASP.NET
services such as Profile are available to MVC applications too and
developers can make use of them when needed. While developing a Web
Forms based website project developers can access profile properties in a strongly typed fashion.
This strongly typed nature comes from the ProfileCommon class that is
generated automatically in such projects. ASP.NET MVC and Web
Application projects, however, lack this handy and useful feature. In
this article you will learn how to access user Profile in ASP.NET MVC
applications and also an alternative to overcome this limitation.

Internet
Explorer 9 introduced a new feature - Pinned Websites - that allows you
to create a shortcut to a website on Windows 7 taskbar. A pinned
website, however, exposes much more functionality than an ordinary
shortcut. Normally to launch a website, the user needs to open a browser
instance, type in website URL in the browser address bar and then
navigate to the required part of the website. Pinning a website allows
the user to launch it much like a desktop application. The user can
simply click on the icon of the pinned website or select a specific
option from a menu and start working with the website. Since a pinned
website is always visible on the taskbar, website pinning also grabs
constant user attention. This can result in significant increase in the
usage of the website for obvious reasons. No wonder that every ASP.NET
developer would like to take advantage of this feature in their
websites. To that end this article discusses various steps involved in
enabling pinning for your website. It also illustrates creating static
and dynamic task entries and discusses a few other scenarios specific to
ASP.NET.

.NET framework
provides classes to read and write RSS and ATOM feeds. I already wrote a
couple of articles illustrating the use of these classes. These classes
reside in System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace and primarily work
with one feed at a time. Sometimes, however, you need to aggregate
multiple feeds to create a single feed. The code sample below shows you
how to accomplish this in an ASP.NET web form.

In the past few
articles I discussed HTML5 features that every ASP.NET developer should
be aware of. In this article I will focus on HTML Forms and discuss
some enhancements that make your life easy. Merely using various input
types is just one part of the story. You should also know HTML5 features
that are applicable to the form as a whole. This article illustrates
some such features. All the examples use Chrome as a browser but many
can be tested in Safari, Opera and others.
