ASP.NET's Hidden Dangers
By Dinis Cruz Go to page: 1 2 Next ASP.NET is a powerful development platform and, compared to ASP Classic, it is a giant leap forward. But, this extra power also brings new dangers. In ASP Classic, the damage caused by malicious code running on the server was somehow limited by the built-in limitations of the ASP Classic object model. In ASP.NET, due to the number of classes exposed by the .NET framework, malicious code has the potential to be much more damaging and dangerous. Where...

ASP.NET Tip: Create a BasePage Class for All Pages to Share
By Eric Smith Something I've been doing with my ASP.NET applications is creating a shared Page class from which all my Web pages inherit.
