ASP.NET IIS Firefox authentication required problem

Today, I had problem with running my asp.net project while using Firefox. It asked me to enter username and password to see the page. However, I tried all the passwords and none of them worked. This problem never occurred before, so I googled and finally found the solution.

1. Enter about:config at firefox address bar. (You will see warning message indicating that these are advanced settings that may affect the browser security and stability)
   
2. Click "I'll be care, I promise" button
3. Search network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris at filter. (Only one entry will be appear)
4. Double click the entry and type localhost.
5. Save it and reload your web page then DONE!
   

Here's the original link from ASP.net forum.

Accessing Posted Data in ASP.NET

There are two ways to access data using Page.PreviousPage in asp.net

1. Using FindControl function

string username = ((TextBox)PreviousPage.FindControl("tbxUsername")).Text;

2. Using Strongly Typed Data
I personally like this one because I don't care about what the control name is. Also, no typo mistakes will be made.
Here is how to make a strongly typed data

public string UserName
{
 get{return tbxUsername.Text;}
}

Also we have to set the code below at the page that receives the posted data.

<%@ PreviousPageType VirtualPath="~/pageName.aspx" %>

Last step, you have to rebuild in order for page to see the property in receiver page.

ASP.NET CustomValidator with Javascript

To use CustomValidator with client side javascript validation, we need to implement a javascript with two parameters.

function YourFunctionName(source, arguments)

Set property ClientValidationFunction to the name of your javascript at CustomValidator control.

arguments.Value is the data that we will be validated.

arguments.IsValid indicates validation success or failure.

If the validation is passed, we set arguments.IsValid = true. False otherwise.
