One of my freelance projects is a redesign for a client in the health industry. They wanted a random testimonial to appear in the master page template on each page load. Here I created a custom user control that will display a random testimonial on each page load in a very nice looking way.

A common problem for developers is how to get a newly created ID after a database insert. For example, let's say that we have two database tables. One table is called Customers and the other table is named Orders. The integrity relationship requires that a customer record exist before an order record for that customer is created.

Gracefully handling exceptions and showing a somewhat informational and yet non-irritating
error message to the end user is very high on my development priority list. Early
in my development career, I used a label control to display my "oops" messages to
users. In addition to that label, I usually ended up with another label for other
more user productive messages, such as when an update was completed.

In my applications, the functionality allowing end users to upload various types of files to the web server is a given. The need to to check and constrain the file type and file size before allowing it to be saved on your server space is also obvious. It wouldn't be wise to unnecessarily let users upload 50MB+ files to your web server over and over.

ASP.NET data controls can be nested within each other to create hierarchical data views that can get quite detailed. I'm going to illustrate how to perform this using two common data controls: The repeater and the gridview controls.
