I'm looking for some kind of best practice fot imersonate users to one ASP.NET site that I build. The user handling of the site is entirely own built with a "User" table in the database and so on. The "Password"-column is crypted. Now I want to build a simple and SAFE solution for our support personal so they from our Support site can click on a button and a session is started in the customer portal. That so he support person more easily can log in as he was the customer user and se the same thing as the customer do. Any tip on how to solve this is welcomed. Now I think about creating a GUID and send that in querystring that is pased to the customer portal. The GUID can be used for a short period.

Interesting! Do you have practical experience in how this is set up with projects in Visual Studio. Most developers should not have to bother about styles and images but need to be able to run the whole site locally.

We have an ASP.NET 3.5 site that uses themes and skins for handling css and images. Now we are about to create a new site that should have a common look and feel and I like to share the App_Themes between the sites so that they always will have the same look. Anyone that have any experience in this topic?

When I google the topic I got many suggestions like this one: http://blogger.nilanka.net/2010/08/split-web-application-into-multiple.html Is this the only way to do it? We have a big Web application project (ASP.NET 3.5) and we use VS2008. Does VS2010 have any support for splitting a web app into multiple projects or do we have to do this workaround?

I fore sure have a common task but I need some help in best practice in my topic. How should read a file from an ASP.NET site and store it in a SQL Server. Should I read it in as a byte[] and use varbinary(max) as database column type?

Thanks, This little css-hack also made it for me: .PageHeading > a:first-child + span + span { display: none; }

How do I customise the behaviour of the asp:SiteMapPath to not show the root siteMapNode as a part of the breadcrumb.

<siteMapNode title="Root"…>
<siteMapNode title="Level_1_1"…>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode title="Level_1_2"…>
<siteMapNode title="Level_2_1"…>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMapNode>

Shold in the breadcrumb look like: Level_1_2 > Level_2_1 and not: Root > Level_1_2 > Level_2_1

This may be a trivial question but I'm completely new to Silverlight and right now I just want to know if I can embed a Silverlight control in my "classic" AST.NET (3.5) WebForm page? Googled for samples but no result.

How can I access a reporting service from C#? I want to generate a PDF file that I can attach to an e-mail message.

_____________________________ ...and justice for all

I’ll soon enter a project where I’m going to create an “Mail Report Generator”. In our SQL Server database we have a lot of information connected to users to the system. Now I’m looking for different techniques to create these reports. The demands are that the email that is going to be sent should have an attached PDF-file which should contain tables, charts, and different types of diagram. I’ve been thinking of Microsoft Reporting Services as a solution for generating PDFs. Can that be a good way of doing it? All suggestions are welcomed!!

I need to populate a new colum with data from one other column in the same table: Table Has columns id, name, part: Id name part "122" "E3, SS, ABC" "NULL" "123" "E3, BB, JKL" "NULL" … … … I want to have a script that fills the part column with the string to the right of ‘,’ from the name column. The result should look like this: Id name part "122" "E3, SS, ABC" "ABC" 123" "E3, BB, JKL" "JKL" … … …

I have a project that have a class that I can’t step into a method call with F11 during debugging. Any tip what could be wrong?

_____________________________ ...and justice for all

I’m a new developer in a very complex project. I like to create a program that can plot the methods that is executing in the program to get a fast view of what is calling what. Of course I can debug the program but the best way right now is to write some code like this:

StackTrace s = new StackTrace();

CallAMettodThatDoesALotOfOtherCalls();

s.PrintAllCalledMethodsInAnEasyToReadWay();

Any tip on code/tool that manages that?
