Microsoft ASP.NET 4 : How MVC Plays with ASP.NET (part 1) - Following the Request Path - Creating an MVC site
When building a new Web site, it's usually best to decide up front whether you want to use MVC. Although ASP.NET standard parts work independently of the MVC framework, having Visual Studio create the Web application for you can save some headaches.

Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 : The HTTP Request Context - The Server Object
In the all-encompassing container represented by the HttpContext object, a few popular objects also find their place. Among them are Server, Request, and Response. They are old acquaintances for ASP developers and, indeed, they are feature-rich elements of the ASP.NET programming toolkit.
Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 : The HttpContext Class
During the various steps of the request’s chain of execution, an object gets passed along from class to class—this object is the HttpContext object. HttpContext encapsulates all the information available about an individual HTTP request that ASP.NET is going to handle.

The policy server is similarly implemented as a console program that listens on all available IP addresses, bound to a well-known port 943. Listing 7 shows the code for the policy server.
Silverlight Recipes : Using Sockets to Communicate over TCP (part 4) - The Chat Server
The chat server is implemented as a console program. The functionality is divided into two primary classes: ConnectionListener, which accepts incoming client connections, hands them over to a ServerConnectionManager instance, and continues to listen for more connections; and ServerConnectionManager, which manages and processes messages for each connected client and then routes messages between clients.
Silverlight Recipes : Using Sockets to Communicate over TCP (part 3)
After the user specifies the IP address, a port, and a participant name in the initial login screen, you establish a connection to the server. To do this, call the Join() method, which uses the Socket.ConnectAsync() method to establish the server connection.
Silverlight Recipes : Using Sockets to Communicate over TCP (part 2)
The Silverlight client communicates with the server program using TCP sockets. The messages exchanged by the Silverlight client and the server program are expressed as data contracts, and you use JSON as the serialization format.
Silverlight Recipes : Using Sockets to Communicate over TCP (part 1)
Silverlight supports socket communication through the System.Net.Sockets.Socket type. This class exposes an API to connect to a TCP endpoint at a specified IP address/port combination, send data to that endpoint, and receive data from that endpoint.

Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 : The HTTP Request Context - Initialization of the Application
The lifetime of any resources created in the Init method is limited to the execution of the current request. Any resource you allocate in Init should be disposed of in Dispose, at the latest. If you need persistent data, resort to other objects that form the application or session state.
Free Email Everywhere and Anytime
The four giants of webmail have been around the block for quite some time now, and their service offering has grown substantially over the years. From a simple service to connect people, each of the company has their own view on how an email service should be like to the end user.
IIS 7.0 : Managing Web Sites - Administrative Tasks - Limiting Web Site Usage, Configuring Web Site Logging and Failed Request Tracing
As in earlier versions of IIS, you can configure Web site limits such as the maximum bandwidth usage, the concurrent connection limit, and the connection time-out.
