Beginning ASP.NET Security
The book
My book, and some others (but who wants those? *grin*) are now available as DRM-free PDFs, at 35% off the print price. For now you’ll need to enter FROST as a coupon code to get the lower price, but apparently the Wrox site will be updated soon to have the lower prices … Technorati Tags: EBook,PDF,Wrox
A couple of mistakes in chapter 8; On page 197 the command to create a user within a database needs more explanation, so the whole paragraph should read Adding a user to a database Just because a login exists and can connect to SQL Server it doesn’t gain access to any databases. You must first grant an account access to the database. You can do this with the following SQL command: USE [exampleDatabase] GO ...
Wrox will be offering an official errata on the book’s page soon. The index refers to XMLTs with a reference to page 234 , that page correctly calls them XSLTs.

Listing 10-11 on page 251 is incorrect, and if ran no X509 signing certificate will be extracted, although the XML signature will be verified. The code should be as follows: public static bool VerifySignature(XmlDocument document, out X509Certificate signingCertificate)

Last year Wrox switched from having happy, smiling, chin posing authors on their book covers to, well, to random images with a bit of red. So for those of you that have pre-ordered you’ll be happy to know that you won’t have me smiling out from your book shelf. Instead you’ll get an image which encapsulates my interest in exercise and sports. Errr, well, someone’s interest in exercise and sports.
