Getting On The Same Page With Your DataGrid
The purpose of this article is to give a succinct, understandable overview of how to setup a DataGrid so that you can page through the records of a data source. To demonstrate how this is done, I'm going to take actual code from an application I developed for a large telecommunications company. I use Visual Studio and that is reflected in this article.

The Low Down on the DropDownList Control
Whenever I see a DropDownList control, my brain says "Yes! That is a ComboBox!" That's because I've been programming in Visual Basic 6.0 for too long. VB6 has something called a ComboBox. It was given that name because it could be used in different ways. That was way cool but whenever I had to write a help file or explain an application to a customer, I couldn't use the term "ComboBox" without them wrinkling their brow and frowning at me. The "combo" aspect of the control never made sense to users, only programmers.

A Primer on Regular Expressions
The job given me by the Almighty Programmer was gatekeeper. The clouds parted below me and I could see a long sinewy line of expressions marching toward me in single file. Some looked like dates, others like digits and some (to be honest) looked like gibberish. One by one, they would try to get past me but I know no fear - for I am the RegularExpressionValidator.

Creating PGP-Encrypted E-Mails Using ASP
For PGP-based communication both the sender and receiver should have public and private key pairs. The sender's public key should be distributed to the receiver. Similarly, the receiver's public key should be distributed to the sender. When sending a message or a file, the sender can sign using his private key. Also, the sender's private key is never distributed.

Adding And Displaying Data Easily Via ASP And XML/XSL

But sometimes it isn`t possible to spilt the ASP Page in two parts, in this case you will need to find your own and best suitable way. But anyway, try it! Here an image of the structure how my ASP page always looks like:

Building A Better Sidebar
When I first heard about .NET’s user controls I thought, “What’s this? A proprietary format for include files?” I argued with a colleague about this newest offering from Microsoft, dismissing user controls as some sort of hype from Redmond.

Get Your Hands In The Cookie Jar
A cookie is used to store user-specific information such as a nick name or preference. The cookie may be persistent (written to the user's hard disk) or non-persistent. A non-persistent cookie exists during the life of the user's session and is then discarded. The only difference between the two types is that a persistent cookie has an expiration date, a non-persistent cookie does not.

Content Thieves
Someone’s been stealing your content. Really. It’s easy to do, too. I’m talking about all the fancy jpgs, gifs, docs and pdfs on your site. Guess what? If I can hit them with a URL, they’re mine. Don’t like it? Too bad. If you have a default page, I can set up a spider to snake out all of your content in a couple of minutes. Google has been doing it for quite a while – they finger your site, snatch out all of your graphics and your entire HTML.
