An ASP.NET 4.0 website framework that can be used for Rapid Application Development.

This is an ASP.NET 4.0 website framework that can be used for RAD (Rapid Application Development).

This framework includes a functional Membership/Role/Profile management system, so you can start a website without re-creating the wheel. It also demonstrates various functions and capabilities of a typical web application.

Many of the functions here can be easily adapted for other platforms, e.g., LAMP and JavaEE. Either The coding logic is the same, or the function is based on pure html/javascript/css.

Apache/BSD/MIT/GPL v2.0

Minimum system requirement (tested):

• ASP.NET 4.0
• Visual Studio.NET 2010
• MSSQL 2008

1. Create an empty database with the name "CI40" or another name you want.
2. Run ~/App_Data/CI40.sql to populate the database.
3. Use the aspnet_regsql.exe utility to create the ASP.NET membership/Role/Profile database.
   (Aspnet_regsql.exe is usually found in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v***\.)
   Alternatively, You can run ~/App_Data/aspnetdb.sql on CI40 (or another separate database).
4. In ~/web.config, change values of connection strings ApplicationServices and connCI40 accordingly.

1. Copy this project folder to desired location on web server.
2. Open IIS Manager, convert this folder to an application with ASP.NET v4.0 application pool.

• Admin Functions (~/Admin)
  • Manage Roles (use asp.net Roles, ~/Admin/Roles.aspx)
  • Manage Users (use asp.net Membership, ~/Admin/Users.aspx)
  • Control access to ~/Admin using ~/Admin/web.config

  • Another tutorial
• Login using LDAP (as Domain User)
  • ~/Login.aspx
  • To choose between aspnet Membership and LDAP login, change web.config "authentication" section loginUrl.
    For now, both login links are shown in top right corner just for convenience.
    Also for LDAP login, the "profile" page to change (local user) password should not be shown.
  • Login authentication using LDAP (Active Directory) for ASP.NET applications
  • MSDN: Active Directory Authentication from ASP .NET
• Map: Embed Map
  • ~/Map.aspx
• Master page
  • ~/Site.master
  • Dynamically generated menu
  • Solve issue on relative path in subfolder: ResolveUrl and ResolveClientUrl
    ResolveUrl creates the URL relative to the root. ResolveClientUrl creates the URL relative to the current page.
    See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1874636/what-is-the-difference-between-resolveurl-and-resolveclienturl
    System.Web.VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute is similar to ResolveUrl but is used in code under App_Code.
    See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.virtualpathutility%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
