Exploring .NET world !!

Hi, Here am sharing code related to validate a domain user againsta active directory. This is well used for implementing authentication and authorization in asp.net or windows application. the call should be sent a [domainname]\[username] and [password] public int VerifyUser(string userName, string password) { try { string domainName = string.Empty; string domainUserName = string.Empty; string[] tempString = null; string[] delimiter = new string[] { @"\" }; tempString = userName.Split(delimiter, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); if ((tempString.Length == 0) || (tempString.Length == 1)) { return 1; } domainName = tempString[0]; domainUserName = tempString[1]; LDAP.Domain_Authentication imperson = new LDAP.Domain_Authentication(domainUserName, password, domainName); if (imperson.IsValid()) { return 2; } return 3; } catch (Exception ex) { return -1; } } And the LDAP class i...

These are the main checklist I used to follow in day to day code development and maintenance. Hope this might help some of you new people. If there is any mistakes/typo please do not hesitate to comment. Coz these are my personal views and opinions 1. Need to avoid unnecessary comments especially while releasing a build 2. Reduce as much lines of code as possible 3. if a variable is used only once then declare it locally if possible 4. Follow the naming conventions especially in DB layer. This helps a lot I promise :) 5. Method name should tell what it does. Do not use miss-leading names. If the method name is obvious, there is no need of documentation explaining what the method does 6. Make a note or summary at top of the page if the code was developed my multiple persons. it helps to track when and which kind of development started 7. Make sure that the required input values gets logged while logging the error message in catch block 8. Avoid ...

Coding practise defines the developer awareness of writing a good code. but not his technical expertise..... I mean a little :) As of my experience with different projects across the domains and technologies & tools I got  a chance to work on enhancements, bug fixings, code reviewing, code development from the scratch level, enhancing my own code which was written years back by myself  :) , reading and preparing documentation on reviewing the code base from the client..... and many more. I got realised few points which i would like to blog.
