| Implementing .NET Role-Based Security without COM+ |
| Egg Head Cafe |
| Security is important. Most developers don't like security. It requires a lot of thought. It requires study. Most developers would rather just "write code", and leave security to "somebody else". Unfortunately, if you are a developer and your job is to produce an application, then guess who that "somebody else" usually is? It's YOU. Even behemoth Microsoft got the message loud and clear. They've made security the single most important thing, above everything else. Wanna know why .NET Server, which was supposed to be released back in March, is delayed until the third quarter? Security! They weren't satisfied, and so they went back to the drawing board, so to speak. And its for real, too. The Microsoft insiders with whom I am privileged to speak with from time to time are totally focused on security. |

| Is Boxing and Uboxing Needed? |
| C# Help |
| With Boxing and unboxing one can link between value-types and reference-types by allowing any value of a value-type to be converted to and from type object. Boxing and unboxing enables a unified view of the type system wherein a value of any type can ultimately be treated as an object.
Converting a value type to reference type is called Boxing.Unboxing is an explicit operation.In this article let us see would we really need to box a data type? |

| JIT Coding |
| C# Corner |
| One not so well known feature of .NET platform is possibility to invoke compiler and practically create code and assembly from running instance of application. It is possible to do that in two ways. First one is a bit simpler and involves namespaces System.CodeDom and System.CodeDom.Compiler, second one is more efficient and utilizes namespace System.Reflection.Emit. |

| Learning C# |
| iDevResource |
| C# is the new modern language for developing applications for Microsoft's .NET platform. This document will go through the basics of this language and explain how you can use it to write efficient platform neutral applications. The .NET platform is designed to be language neutral, indeed, all .NET code is run under the Common Language Runtime (CLR). C# is just one of the languages that can be used to write classes for the CLR, but so far it is the only language that was written from the outset with .NET in mind. This makes C# as the language of choice for .NET development. |

| Logging Unhandled Page Exceptions To The System Event Log |
| DotNetJunkies |
| Error handling is a critical part of building enterprise level web applications,
for that matter, it is a huge page of any application. In one of last weeks article we discussed using the

| Maintaining State With User Controls |
| DotNetJunkies |
| I don't know about you, but I've never been comfortable designing a site that requires Session variables to maintain state. My ASP applications have always verified a user and appended their unique identifier / ID to the QueryString (or passed it along in a hidden form field). It was a pain, but at least I knew that a user with cookies turned off would still be able to use the site. |

| Memberwise Clone Method |
| .NET Xtreme |
| By definition, memberwiseclone() method "creates a shallow copy of the current Object." A shallow copy of an Object is a copy of the Object only. If the Object contains references to other objects, the shallow copy will not create copies of the referred objects. It will refer to the original objects instead. |
