N-tier or N-layer ASP.net 2.0

Recently found some great tutorials on n-tier development with asp.net 2.0, well actually its n-layer to me. I consider n-tier development to be across different hardware platforms e.g. database server, presentation server (front end or presentation layer). N-layer development is separating your application code into layers... presentation layer, business logic layer, data access layer and data layer.

Simple Atlas Tab Control

I love using a nice little tab control on my web pages but I never seem to find an good solution…well a FREE (!) one anyway!

Visual Studio 2005 Fonts Pack.

Just found this today. A fonts pack for VS 2005, changes the default font to Consolas, in my opinion much better to look at...its a pretty smooth font compared to Courier without going all the way to Arial. Those who have used Office 2007 beta2 will recognise it. MS Font Pack Steve

Hello - My introduction

Hi there, thought I would post a little intro blog to introduce myself to anyone reading this blog. I am in England in the south west county of Somerset. The main point of my blog will be to post interesting tutorials and articles on .NET v2, always C#, lots of asp.net with a little bit of SQL slipped in. You may also find a few blogs on something interesting (to me!) that I have done in the recent past…..basically this will turn into my Brain dump, hopefully some good stuff in between one...
