In this talk I presented approaches to the following key areas for a professionally designed ASP.NET application:

1. Page Design & Navigation
2. Error Handling
3. Data Access
4. Caching
5. Localization
6. Configuration & State Management
7. Role-based Security
8. Reduce Attack Surface
9. Protect Sensitive Data
10. Component Design & Deployment

The code sample that implements many of the concepts I discussed can be found here:

GalleryDemos2003_2.0 Migration.zip (1.44 MB)

In fact, this is the “before” code sample that I later use to migrate to 2.0 in my migration talk. So, if you looking at designing 1.1 applications for migration you’ll like some of my approaches here.
