Sealed Class
Sealed class is used to define the inheritance level of a class.
The sealed modifier is used to prevent derivation from a class. An error occurs if a sealed class is specified as the base class of another class.

Generating Random Passwords with ASP. NET and C#
Generating random passwords can increase the security of a website by taking the process out of the hands of the user, or simply providing an alternative, and thus reducing the chance of easily-guessable passwords being used. This tutorial shows a simple method of creating a random password.

Creating Credential Store for Form Authentication in ASP.NET 3.5
When we don't want to use Windows Credentials to validate a user, we can utilize the ASP.NET infrastructure to implement our own authentication infrastructure which includes a custom login page that validates a user against credentials such as a database and later established security context on each request. ASP.NET leverages it's framework to support cookies and establishes the security context for each web request; this is called form authentication.
Implementing the QT Algorithm using C#
Quality Threshold (or QT) is an algorithm used in cluster analysis which is described in this Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis).
The basic idea of cluster analysis is to partition a set of points into clusters which have some relationship to each other. In the case of QT the user chooses the maximum diameter (i.e. distance between points) that a cluster can have and each point is then considered in turn, along with its neighbors, and allocated to a cluster.
The source code is listed below in case it is of interest to anyone else involved in this specialized field.

Select Single Radio Button in Gridview in Asp.Net
In this article we will learn how to select only one row of a GridView using RadioButtons whereas normally a RadioButton does not support selection of only one RadioButton within a row.
Background:
In ASP.Net the GridView control does not support selection of a single RadioButton that works as a group across rows. Generally as you know a RadioButton is a control that works in a group for selecting only one option. If we take RadioButtonList control it will work everywhere, which applies to a GridView also but if we use only one RadioButton control for each row in GridView it will not allow us to select only one. Try selecting a RadioButton in every row; it will allow selection of multiple rows in GridView. Here we will see how to restrict the user to select only one RadioButton within a GridView control.
For doing this task need to write some Javascript function. We will step by step follow.
Step 1:
Start new website. Put the GridView control on the Default.aspx page with RadioButton control in TemplateField like bellow.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="AuthId"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="false"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:RadioButton ID="rdbauthid" runat="server" onclick="javascript:CheckOtherIsCheckedByGVID(this);" /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:BoundField HeaderText="AUTHOR NAME" DataField="AuthName" /> <asp:BoundField HeaderText="AUTHOR LOCATION" DataField="AuthLocation" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView>
In the above you may see that in the Click event of the RadioButton control I call a Javascript function.
Step 2:
Write the script as below for checking the current selection of the RadioButton control; if more than one is selected then the other selection is removed. Other than this there are two more methods to do same task.
<script type="text/javascript"> function CheckOtherIsCheckedByGVID(spanChk) {

var IsChecked = spanChk.checked;
if (IsChecked) {
spanChk.parentElement.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = '#228b22';
spanChk.parentElement.parentElement.style.color = 'white';
}
var CurrentRdbID = spanChk.id;
var Chk = spanChk;
Parent = document.getElementById("<%=GridView1.ClientID%>");
var items = Parent.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
if (items[i].id != CurrentRdbID && items[i].type == "radio") {
if (items[i].checked) {
items[i].checked = false;
items[i].parentElement.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = 'white'
items[i].parentElement.parentElement.style.color = 'black';
}
items[i].parentElement.parentElement.style.color = 'black';
}
}
}
}

Verify Email Online
We had a database of hundreds of emails which were collected over years. The problem here is that some of the email exists, some do not. So while sending notifications to clients, the retuned invalid user mail messages require a lot of manual work to clear them. Our idea is to verify whether an email exists before sending the mail. Everything should be automatic and less time consuming.
E-card generator using ASP.NET 3.5
Let us generate a simple e-card generator using ASP.NET 3.5. In this we are dividing the web page region into two half on the left there is an ordinary <div> tag containing a set of web controls for specifying card option and on right is a panel control which contains two other controls like iblgreeting and imgDefault that are used to display user configurable text and a picture.

Looking inside Global.asax application file in ASP.NET 3.5
What is Global.asax file: global.asax allows us to write event handlers that react to global events in web applications.
PrintPreviewControl in C#
The PrintPreviewDialog control displays the Print Preview Dialog with all buttons and settings so the users can change their settings before a document goes to the printer. But there are circumstances when you would need to just display print preview without any buttons and options and show only the preview. This is where the PrintPreviewControl can be used.
Looking deep inside PostBack and ViewState in ASP.NET 3.5
ASP.NET helps in rapid development of web forms in a way similar to our Windows counterpart writes code to develop Windows application for the desktop. Development is rapid in a Windows application for many reasons, i.e. there is no page life cycle etc.

Already loads of information are available on internet for the same purpose. But not all the code is placed at one place. So here is my small effort to accumulate all the code at one place and that is nothing better than this place. Hopefully it will be helpful for the beginners or whoever in needs of it.
Searching in user profile properties
Introduction:
Using ASP.Net 2005 login controls saves time and effort and produces a professional user management on your ASP.NET web site. User Profile is responsible for extending user properties; but there was a problem faced me that searching is not supported in user profile properties.
Search in Asp.Net
In this article we will see how to implement a search facility in our ASP.Net web site.We can implement such a search facility in our ASP.Net web site for searching for a particular word on a page. For this use a third party control that provides a search box and a search result to control this operation.
BulletedList Control in ASP.NET Framework 4, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0
BulletedList Control will generate or be rendered into a list of items in a bulleted format, even we can attach an image as bulleted style format. BulletedList Control is inherited from ListControl. Here are the list of different Bulleted Styles:
