HTML Server Controls


HTML server controls are HTML tags understood by the server.

HTML Server Controls

HTML elements in ASP.NET files are, by default, treated as text. To make these elements programmable, add a runat="server" attribute to the HTML element. This attribute indicates that the element should be treated as a server control.
Note: All HTML server controls must be within a <form> tag with the runat="server" attribute!
Note: ASP.NET requires that all HTML elements must be properly closed and properly nested.

Tip/Trick: Fix Common SEO Problems Using the URL Rewrite Extension

Search engine optimization (SEO) is important for any publically facing web-site.  A large % of traffic to sites now comes directly from search engines, and improving your site’s search relevancy will lead to more users visiting your site from search engine queries.  This can directly or indirectly increase the money you make through your site. This blog post covers how you can use the free Microsoft  URL Rewrite Extension  to fix a bunch of common SEO problems that your site might have.  It takes less than 15 minutes (and no code changes) to apply 4 simple  URL Rewrite  rules to your site, and in doing so cause search engines to drive more visitors and traffic to your site.  The techniques below work equally well with both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC based sites.  They also works with all versions of ASP.NET (and even work with non-ASP.NET content).

ASP.NET MVC - Set custom IIdentity or IPrincipal

Here's how I do it. I decided to use IPrincipal instead of IIdentity because it means I don't have to implement both IIdentity and IPrincipal. Create the interface interface ICustomPrincipal : IPrincipal { int UserId { get ; set ; } string FirstName { get ; set ; } string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipal public class CustomPrincipal : ICustomPrincipal { public IIdentity Identity { get ; private set ; } public bool IsInRole ( string role ) { return false ; } public CustomPrincipal ( string email ) { this . Identity = new GenericIdentity ( email ); } public int UserId { get ; set ; } public string FirstName { get ; set ; } public string LastName { get ; set ; } } CustomPrincipalSerializeModel - for serializing custom information into userdata field in FormsAuthenticationTicket object. public class CustomPrincipalSerializeMode
