Peter shares what he believes are the top 10 .NET Technologies to focus on for developers, starting this year.

Cool list of tools useful in web development. This is aim to freelancers but I thnink this can be used by anybody in the business.

Today, one of the important goals is to provide high security to the distributed Web Applications. The security is designed throughout the .NET Framework like Code Access Security, ASP.NET Integrated Security and Cryptography, which can be optimally used to develop Secure Applications.

However, in scenarios where one has to perform Authentication or Authorization by the database and give appropriate privileges to the users (or) the permissions have to be provided at the runtime for specific operations (or) in scenarios like where no web browsers are used , it becomes crucial to develop Custom Security.
The ASP.NET Framework has defined set of Http Modules which takes care of the basic Authentication and Authorization mechanisms. The Custom Security (Custom Authentication or Authorization) can be performed in Forms Authentication or Windows Authentication by coding in the Global.asax file, which is not a reliable (or) reusable solution. The .NET Framework gives the flexibility to develop custom Http Modules and plug them into the ASP.NET Application,hence enabling to develop highly scalable, reusable and reliable .NET Security Components.

This article explains in detail about the HTTP Modules and the steps to create custom Http Module with an example. The article also gives a brief how to create a custom Http Module in developing a custom database authorization module.
