Common Security Pitfalls for Web Part Developers
I've wanted to write this post for a long time, the trigger to actually write it was my interview by Chris Kunicki for his Office Zealot podcast last week. During this podcast (which was really fun to do, thanks for having me Chris!) we discussed briefly some security problems web part developers could face. Podcasts are great but they are not suited to communicate code, so here's the accompanying post! When you're developing web parts, security could be one of the biggest problems to deal with. First of all you may face some problems to get your web part deployed and secondly you may have some Code Access Security problems. Let's take a look at both of them!

Getting Started With ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts in Beta 2
Here's a small tip for Patrick, since he's going to deliver a TechEd Session on Web Parts in ASP.NET 2.0. :-) An important thing in your web part pages is the functionality to switch to design mode (at run-time), so your users can change properties, location, connections etc. for the web parts. In the pre-Beta2 age, we had the WebPartPageMenu control for that, but in Beta 2 this control has been removed. The QuickStarts seem to be using a custom control that is simulating this behavior, but they don't provide the source for it. Luckily it's quite easy to re-create, you can switch by using WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.DesignDisplayMode; and WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.BrowseDisplayMode;.
