ASP.NET 2.0 Provider Model

The ASP.NET 2.0 provider model was designed with the following goals in mind:

1. To make ASP.NET state storage both flexible and extensible
2. To insulate application-level code and code in the ASP.NET run-time from the physical storage media where state is stored, and to isolate the changes required to use alternative media types to a single well-defined layer with minimal surface area
3. To make writing custom providers as simple as possible by providing a robust and well-documented set of base classes from which developers can derive provider classes of their own

It is expected that developers who wish to pair ASP.NET 2.0 with data sources for which off-the-shelf providers are not available can, with a reasonable amount of effort, write custom providers to do the job

Love Story of a Software Engineer

“I have to meet her tommorow”...He told me that night and slept.

Friday night…he slept very late, I guess around 2 a.m. He has planned dating with his beautiful girlfriend. He has talked her on phone till 2 planning for tomorrow.

Saturday morning, He got up very early regardless of the fact that He slept so late, around 6 a.m. I estimate.

He was very joyful about her meeting. He loves her very much; He can do anything for her. She also loves her too much.

He got organized around 8 AM and about to run off for the meeting his sweetie.

“When will you come back in evening”? I asked him

“I will be back at 8 PM”...He answered me

As soon as he finished his last word. His phone ringed.

“Hello…”...He spoke.

“Can you come to the office today till 10 AM, there is a crisis delivery today, and since we got call from US last night around 2 AM (IST), I could not tell you, yesterday”…His Boss told...

“Sure, I will be there in another 2 hours, don’t worry” … He replied

I am not sure, how much his heart broken that day. But I was very sad that day for my buddy. I guess this is the climax of a Software Engineer’s dating…that day…

Better for enterprise but what about human emotions.

Comments would be highly appreciated
