I’m running from time to time in small, probably well known, things that make developing so much easier and/or more interesting. I decided to write them down here when I run into one under the section “Tips & Tricks”.

If you haven’t touched it yet, I really recommend checking out the .NET Framework Source Code Debug options in Visual Studio 2008. I tried it out right after it was released to see if it worked, but it wasn’t until last week that I really found the full potentials of it.

In my previous post I mentioned the ASP.NET 2.0 Provider Model and how I used it for loading dynamic pages from a data source in a portal framework. This article will go through the code and gives some technical information of how to accomplish this in ASP.NET 2.0.

I just read on Scott Guthrie's blog that the libraries of the .NET Framework are now available through Visual Studio 2008.

The ASP.NET Framework makes heavy use of the provider model. That is, for every service that requires saving data or states in some data source. Using this model allows a complete separation of “using the service” and “saving and retrieving the data” from the data source. I will give here an overview of this model and how it is used in the current ASP.NET services. Later I will go deeper in how to implement a similar model for our own services.

In Visual Studio 2005 you can create a web site instead of the previous web application in 2003. When you create the site, you can specify weather to use the File System or an IIS site. When you created a web site using the IIS option and later changes this to a File System website, but in the same time keep a virtual directory in your IIS linked to the application (can you still follow?)… you may have found problems in debugging the application. More specific, the application will never stop at any break point you set. If this ever happened, or happens to you, than you may find a solution in this article.
