Hi,

By default membership provider in .net has a password policy that restricts you to have passwords of length 7 (at least) and one character among those 7 must be Alph-Numeric. There are various conditions that you want to overlook this policy.

Following are the ways:

Using minimum length and non-alphanumeric character

 <membership ...>
  <providers>
    <add minRequiredPasswordLength=5 minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters=0 />
  </providers>
 </membership>

Using regular expression

 <membership ...>
  <providers>
    <add passwordStrengthRegularExpression=
                    "^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,10}$" .../>
  </providers>
 </membership>

Hi,

I just finished a very small module to gather RSS fields from Database and show them in my page. THIS POST FROM MSDN was really helpful and it is just what I wanted.

I tried a lot to use asp:Repeater and XSLT togather to format my feeds but I found no way to do that. At last I came back to XML control in ASP.NET and did following:

• Made a small parser class to transform my SqlDataReader to XmlDocument object
• Used Xml Control to combine XmlDocument and XSLT to transform the result.
  

Hi,

I have found this very useful snippet from asp.net forums

You can format your Datatime object in .Net using following formats.
