With a solid foundation created in Part 1, we now turn our attention to more advanced topics. We’ll use context rewriting for some professional looking and hassle free state-management, talk about good database design with respect to multilingual applications, and dive into more advanced Localized controls for ultimate flexibility and productivity.

This article walks you through the process of building a thin-client ASP.NET bug tracking application, with a Microsoft Access XP backend. It uses nearly every documented capability of the .NET datagrid web server control to allow you to select, edit, update, or delete any item listed in the datagrid.

Working on a multi-developer ASP.NET project while sharing one web.config can be time consuming and troublesome. Usually, each developer may have path and other settings specific to their development machine, such as Database connection strings, paths, e-mail addresses, etc. For example, each developer on a project may be running a database locally that the application relies on during development. Therefore, the connection string would be different for each developer.

Take advantage of inheritance in the .NET Framework to extend ASP.NET classes to make them generate ASP.NET code that is fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Extend the existing globalization capabilities of .Net to create flexible and powerful multilgual web sites. First create a custom ResourceManager and then create custom localized-capable server controls to easily deploy multilingual functionality.
