Catalog Administration

Summary

You’ve done a lot of coding in this chapter. You implemented five user controls, along with their middle-tier methods and stored procedures for the data tier. You learned how to implement a simple authentication scheme so only administrators are allowed to access the catalog administration page.

You made contact with the GridView, which is probably the most powerful web control that comes packaged with the .NET Framework. You learned how to use GridView’s built-in features for editing, selecting, updating, and deleting records. You also learned how to use template columns to improve its functionality.

At the end of the chapter, you learned how to upload files from the client to the server using ASP.NET.
