Source Code for the Built-in ASP.NET 2.0 Providers Now Available for Download

Thursday, April 13 2006

Ala Scott Guthrie's weblog, Microsoft released the source code for all the built-in ASP.NET 2.0 providers (membership, site map, session, etc).

I'm actually rather surprised they did this. I'm impressed they would understand the value of showing their source code (not in the way all the anti-MS zealots want) to the various real-world components they have. It's one thing to read an article on MSDN and get a Hello World example, it's another thing to see the code they actually wrote.
