Profiles Store per-user data persistently –Strongly typed access (unlike session state) –On-demand lookup (unlike session state) –Long-lived (unlike session state) –Authenticated and anonymous users –Rich type support (including custom types) Accessed through dynamically compiled HttpProfileBase derivatives Provider-based for flexible data storage

21. Profile Definition <add name="MyFavoriteNumber" type="System.Int32" defaultValue="0" /> <add name="MyItems" type="ShoppingCart" serializeAs="binary" allowAnonymous="true" />

22. Profiles

23. Data-Driven Site Navigation Navigation UIs are tedious to implement –Especially if they rely on client-side script New controls simplify site navigation –TreeView and Menu - Navigation UI –SiteMapDataSource - XML site maps –SiteMapPath - "Bread crumb" controls Public site map API provides foundation Provider-based for flexibility

24. Site Navigation Schema Site Map API Site Maps Web.sitemap Other Data Stores Controls MenuTreeViewSiteMapPath SiteMap- DataSource SiteMap SiteMapNode XmlSiteMapProvider Other Site Map Providers
