A question was asked on a forum that I frequent which I thought was worth writting a blog about. Q: What is the difference between an application and an Appdomain? I understand from my research so far that an Appdomain is a container within which ASPX...
There are many times when it is worthwhile to create a custom machineKey for your web.config file. This is worthwhile on a webfarm but also worthwhile on a stand-alone server so that your machineKey remains the same after an iisreset or application pool...
This has haunted me a few times in the past, so for my own sake I figured I would write a quick blog that I can reference in the future. Hopefully others find it valuable as well. I ran into an issue today where the forms authentication timeout didn't...

By default the Roles provider is defined in machine.config but it isn't enabled. Attempting to use the Roles feature before it is enabled will throw the following error: " The Role Manager feature has not been enabled." It's easy to...
ASP.Net V2.0 has much improved encryption over v1.x including the ability to encrypt any part of the connection string. Of course there is some performance overhead to do this so only sections that have sensitive information should be encrypted. I really...
