Itec Data Layer ASP.NET
Itec Data Layer comes in the form of an application called MyCodeGenerator that is a code editor and a code generator. You can create your own projects and templates within MyCodeGenerator to tweak the structure used in generating the code. Additionally, the code generated can make use of the Data Access Application Block and the Exception Management Block that are part of Microsoft's Enterprise Library. MyCodeGenerator supports code generation for either C# or Visual Basic .NET and allows you to specify a default namespace name for the generated code. MyCodeGenerator also has the ability to create and use Stored procedures for your project and can generate typed datasets using the XSD.exe utility. Support for MyCodeGenerator is via e-mail.
Visual Web Developer 2005 - HTML Source Preservation
Visual Web Developer respects your HTML. The formatting of your HTML markup -- including all white space, casing, indention, carriage returns, and word wrapping -- is now preserved exactly as originally written, even when switching back and forth between the design view and source view of the page. You can completely trust Visual Web Developer to never modify your markup.
3D Software Development WindowsGRAPH for Microsoft .NET Framework
WindowsGRAPH for Microsoft .NET is a Windows forms control designed for real-time presentation and analysis of temporal data. It provides an easy visual display of data via line graphs and OHLC (Open High Low Close) bars for financial applications. The graph area can automatically scale the graphs to fit when the window is resized. One of the nice features of this component is the built-in data cursor, which updates as it displays the data along the timeline.
Folder Site Map Provider for ASP.NET 2.0
The sample provider recursively enumerates through the subdirectories of the web site and, for each folder (apart from the App_* and bin directories, which are special directories used by ASP.NET 2.0), checks for the existence of a default.aspx file. If this file is present, the sample provider adds it to the site map, using the name of the containing folder as the menu description. It would be relatively easy to extend this sample to support more than the one default.aspx entry for each directory, or to store a ToolTip date in a text file within the directory, if required.
Personalization in ASP.NET 2.0
In fact, ASP.NET 2.0 has decoupled the Profile API (how you programmatically interact with profile data) from the underlying data provider (how you store the data). This allows you to use the default provider (Access), or one of the other providers supplied (SQL server) or even write your own provider (e.g., for an existing customer relationship management system) without changing the way you interact with the profile in the rest of your code.
Visual Web Developer 2005 - Code Refactoring
Code Refactoring enables you to easily and systematically make changes to your code. Code Refactoring is supported everywhere that you can write code including both code-behind and single-file ASP.NET pages. For example, you can use Code Refactoring to automatically promote a public field to a full property.
ASP.NET 2.0 Access Data Providers
ASP.NET application services such as membership and roles include Access data providers, and use them by default. In Beta 2, however, we will replace this functionality with support for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, the new version of SQL Server which combines the file-based simplicity of Access databases with seamless deployment to full editions of SQL Server. The developer model of using the application services stays 100% the same, but the backend implementation will now be much more robust and performant.
.netCHARTING ASP.NET charting software
.netCHARTING is a charting library with support for dozens of kinds of charts. There are versions of the product for both ASP.NET Web forms and Windows forms. The current repertoire includes (but is not limited to) 2D and 3D graphics, combo charts, splines, line graphs, stacked bars, horizontal bars, pie charts, financial charts, and many others. The samples that come with the evaluation download include hundreds of examples of what types of charts you can create using the .netCHARTING library. You can read an external help file to find instructions on how to associate a help file with Visual Studio .NET (2002 or 2003) as well as an XML file to make IntelliSense work in Visual Studio .NET if you place the .XML file in your /bin directory. The source code to create all of these charts is available as part of the exhaustive amount of samples provided. There are also online forums and a Knowledge Base full of useful information that can help get you creating charts quickly and painlessly. .netCHARTING also includes a WYSIWYG designer in Visual Studio .NET that allows you to see the effect of changes made at design-time.
ASP.NET 2.0 Binding to XML
To give the TreeView a more meaningful rendering, you can specify individual data bindings for nodes in the tree. TreeNodeBinding objects may be added to the TreeView's Databindings collection for the purpose of defining how the fields of hierarchical data items are mapped to TreeNode properties. There are two key properties of TreeNodeBinding that determine the set of hierarchical data items to which the binding applies. The DataMember property specifies the type of data item, or in the case of XML data, the element name for which a binding applies. The Depth property specifies the depth in the hierarchy at which the data binding should apply. You can set either DataMember or Depth, or you can set both of these properties. For example, to define data bindings for all Book elements in a given XML file, set DataMember to "Book". To define bindings for all nodes at depth 1, set the Depth property to 1. To define bindings for all Book nodes at depth 1, set both DataMember to "Book" and Depth to 1 on the TreeNodeBinding object.

ASP.NET 2.0 SQL Server-Based Cache Invalidation Mechanism
In SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000, table level cache invalidation is supported using a polling system. Through this system, the ASP.NET process will poll the database (pull model) every so many seconds to check and see which tables have changed since it last checked. Even though the pull model works for most cases, it is not an efficient approach. However, this will be enhanced in Yukon to have Yukon actually notify (Push model) ASP.NET whenever a particular row of data has been modified. Yukon accomplishes this by using a feature called Notification Delivery Services (that uses ports 80), which directly interacts with HTTP.SYS of IIS 6.0 to notify the Web server of updates to the specific rows. For the purposes of this article, you will consider SQL Server 7 and 2000 and understand how to configure caching for those versions.
ASP.NET 2.0 Migrating Anonymous User Settings
If your web application allows anonymous users to set Profile properties, and your web application includes not only authenticated but anonymous users, then there is a sticky scenario to handle. At some point an anonymous user might login and become an authenticated user. After a user authenticates, their Profile changes, because the Profile system keys Profile information by username. At the point an anonymous user changes to an authenticated user, the Profile module gives us a chance to migrate the user’s anonymous profile to the new authenticated profile with a MigrateAnonymous event. We can handle this global event in global.asax with the following code.
