I've been working with Telerik's RadTools set of components for over 2 months, and keep finding new things to like. Stuff that used to take me hours to code in Classic ASP I can now accomplish in under an hour.

For example, I can setup a SQL Datasource, drop in an instance of RadGrid, bind it to the datasource, and presto ... I have an editable grid. Add features like sorting and grouping, it really makes things easy!

Just completed stage one of developmenmt for the ADK Product Safety Directory, located at: www.adksafetyinfo.com. This site marks my fond farewall to all things classic ASP, as I've (finally) made the leap to ASP.NET.

This was an annoying problem, for me, solved in large part due to the info from this article: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/070506-1.aspx.

So yes, you CAN modify the default user registration wizard to work with your data requirements.

Left my home office for a minute today, came back and found that my daughter had "helped" me with a membership issue in asp.net ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
          <allow roles="user" /> ,, ,mk,mk,m,mm,m,,,,,m,mm,m,m,m mnmkmkj,,,m,kkkk                                       nnmmkj,,mkj ,jkb kjb 
          <deny users="*" />           
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

I didn't test, but don't think this will work too well!

A really (REALLY!!!) simple application using asp.net to query a small database. Using a databound  dropdown list to query the table.

Spent a couple of hours today reviewing this stuff from start to finish ... my goal is to never start another classic ASP site again!

(Oh, and this if simply for my benefit ... not expecting anyone to click on the link ... and if you do, you have too much spare time!)

Looking for a connection string to a datasource, in just about any format? Go to http://www.connectionstrings.com/ ... a very nice resource. Just used it to get a sample connection string for some tutorials I'm working through ... I'm taking some old databases, then repeating some of the .NET stuff I'm learning (c# at that!) ... hopefully it will get embedde in my brain! <G>

it looks like I'll be learning more C# for ASP.NET ... makes sense, given some existing mods I've done to ASPdotnetstorefront using this language.
