Session 1 | Safer, Smarter, Stronger: What’s New for Web Developers in IIS7
In days past, a Web server was simply a place to throw your static and dynamic pages for delivery. That’s all changed with recent releases of IIS – and IIS 7 is no exception. This session will highlight several key features of IIS that make it our most extensible, manageable and secure Web platform ever. You’ll learn about the modular design of IIS and the integrated pipeline, providing for new scenarios that involve sharing authentication across IIS, ASP.NET and other dynamic web server runtimes. We’ll explore how the new IIS protocol listeners enable IIS to host WCF services on a variety of protocols (not just HTTP), providing a scalable and manageable host for your distributed applications. You’ll see how easy it is to write modules and handlers in managed code. Plus you’ll learn about the new security aspects of IIS 7, from initial deployment to feature delegation to administrator lists. After this lively session, you’ll be raring to do much more with your Web server than simply copying over ASP.NET pages.
Session 2 | Extending ASP.NET 2.0 Application Services
ASP.NET 2.0 includes powerful and flexible Application Services that provide support for things like membership (user name / password credential storage), role management and navigation right out of the box. In this session, you’ll learn how to extend these services and consume them from a variety of clients. We’ll begin with an overview of the included providers and how to configure them and use their basic controls. We’ll also discuss how to create a custom provider. Next, we’ll explore how to interact with application services using hot Web technologies such as ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight. Finally, we’ll take a look at using the new ASP.NET 3.5 client application services from a Windows client. You’ll leave this session with a thorough understanding of how to use Application Services to build membership, profile and other systems that meet your Web and Windows application needs.
Session 3 | Security Sidebars - Hacker Tricks
Walk away from these sessions with five common security risks and the best practices for avoiding and solving them. You’ll get critical tips and security tools throughout each MSDN Events session. Exploits include: Cross Site Scripting (CSS), SQL Injection Attack, Insecure Direct Object Reference, Click Once Attack and Buffer Overflows.
