As per the increasing security threats, my site needs extreme care in terms of security in all aspects. I know asp.net has built in some security measures (Anti-forgery token, cross-site scripting, authentication, roles), but that is just not enough.I need a tool to test all possible security threats (Brute-force attacks, .... IP location, browser info ... )and a framework (open source is better) that handles all these concerns and let you build upon.
EDIT,So to narrow a bit, my primary concern is protecting the "login" page from all possible threats.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro SP1. Every time I try to access the security tab in Web Application Administration Tools I get this message:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
I am working on a video streaming project, objective is to upload video to content provider's server and play it to the authenticated user only, it should not be accessible to unauthorized users, content provider provided APIs and Endpoints to pass security options but it seems not working when I pass those parameters to API along while uploading video streaming file, I need to know how I can do that, is there any other way that I can use rather than Content Provider's API Endpoints

I am looking to make the jump from PHP and Flash/Flex to .net and Silverlight (maybe not a full jump, but I want to be ready when Silverlight takes the lead from Flash)I'm looking for the common/trusted mvc framework most people use/support and is potentially backed by microsoft
In PHP we have Zend Framework http://framework.zend.com/ this is backed by key contributors to the PHP languageIn Flex we have the Cairngorm framework http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cairngorm/Cairngorm (developed by Adobe consulting) backed by Adobe the creators of Flex
There of course are other frameworks for both PHP and Flex, but a much smaller population base even if they offer some nicer things individually, they lack frequent updates or community support.So my question is, what is the "accepted standard" framework that people use with .net and/or silverlight?

I am sure that I am somewhat lost in this area... my understanding is that Dependency Injection means initializing something that is required by a class..so for instance. If my controller is going to need a service and I want to be able to test it then I should define two Constructor methods for it... so, my question is.
public class CompaniesController : Controller { private ICompaniesService _service; public CompaniesController() {.......

I have a ASP.net 4.0 which has to generate a PDF and docx file with the same content. Ofcourse the conversion will take place on server so Office Automation is not an option
Im faced with the following descision: Use OpenXML SDK to create the docx and some other free tool to create the PDF.OR ,Buy a SW like Aspose so I only will have to create the docx and then generate a PDF from the docx.
What is your opinion about this? Aspose Word costs $900, will I save as much time with it to be worth it?If I choose the free option will I have a hard time getting the docx and pdf to look exactly the same?
