Exception handling in .NET
The better approach for exception management strategy in enterprise wide ASP.NET applications is:
a) Define a set of application-specific exception types.
b) Build a logging mechanism (Event log or activity logging in DB).
c) Trap the custom Application Exceptions in an HttpModule, log them and redirect the user to a custom error page that indicates some problem has occured.

New Recommendations for Using Strings in Microsoft .NET 2.0
There is an article on MSDN, "
New Recommendations for Using Strings in Microsoft .NET 2.0", that explains the motivation behind Ordinal comparison and the new members of the
System.StringComparison enumeration in .NET 2.0. I admittedly glazed over, reading it the first time, but the third example in the section "The Motivation: The Turkish-I Problem" makes a world of sense... comparing InvariantCulture does not do a bit-wise comparison of the strings.
So, if you are comparing System.Uri's, do you compare using InvariantCulture (since the URI should be ASCII), or should you use Ordinal (given the guidance in "Choosing a StringComparison Member for Your Method Call" to use Ordinal for XML and HTTP)? The guidance from the owner of System.Uri indicated to just use Uri.Compare(). The prototype for Uri.Compare looks like:
public static int Compare(
Uriuri1,
Uriuri2,
UriComponentspartsToCompare,
UriFormatcompareFormat,
StringComparisoncomparisonType
);
.NET and Component Services (COM+)
The one of the reason to use COM+ Services in .NET is to do things like participate in transactions, take advantage of role-based security, or interact with a queue.
Mainly for any enterprise wide applications (Intranet apps), it would be good to use COM+ Services. In this case you will be making use of System.EnterpriseServices

Creating an Online RSS News Aggregator with ASP.NET
Learn about displaying XML data in an ASP.NET Web page using the XML Web control to retrieve remote XML data, and about using the Repeater control to emit XML data from a database. With the ever-increasing demands of data sharing among disparate platforms, the use of XML has exploded over the past few years. Realizing this trend, Microsoft made sure to include robust XML support throughout the .NET Framework. For ASP.NET developers, this means that displaying and working with XML data in a Web page has never been simpler. Throughout this article we'll learn about XML and ASP.NET by building an RSS 2.0 syndication engine and an online news aggregator. This article assumes the reader is familiar with ASP.NET and XML.

Learn Better Ways to Manage Your Cache in ASP.NET
Learn how to use caching effectively today and tomorrow with some new (and some not-quite-as-new) cache management techniques for ASP.NET 1.x and 2.0.
Caching is one of the features in ASP.NET 1.x that most developers are familiar with. And it has helped to fuel a yearning for cache dependency in SQL Server. The ability to refresh the cache if a row in a table has been modified is very useful to a lot of developers. And hence in ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft built SQL Server cache dependency right into the product.
