Asp.Net

In previous versions of ASP.NET,  URLs were limited to 260 characters in length (based on the NTFS file-path limit). But in ASP.NET 4.0 developers have the option of increasing or decreasing  the length of URLs by using  the new maxRequestPathLength and maxQueryStringLength.   maxRequestPathLength - To allow longer or shorter paths (the portion of the URL that does not include protocol, server name, and query string), modify the maxRequestPathLength attribute.   maxQueryStringLength - To allow longer or shorter query strings, modify the value of the maxQueryStringLength attribute.   For example.. <httpRuntime maxRequestPathLength="360"...

If your web site does not immediately load on your home page and deliver your message within a couple of second’s your site needs redesign. Never ask your customer which version they want to visit (high/low bandwidth etc.) Never develop a web site entirely in Flash. Do not reinvent...

Keep the following in mind with 2.0 Asp.net applications Visual Studio 2005/2008 knows nothing about compiling a web application.  Visual Studio lets the asp.net platform perform the compilation. When you perform a VS.NET Build > VS.NET does not build the application, Asp.net performs the build build of all the .cs and .vb files.  The resulting assemblies are placed by default in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files directory.
