Community Server Byte for April 4, 2007

Ken Robinson with a simple definition of when to use ASP.NET Forms Authentication verses Cookie Authentication. Essentially, Forms for ASP.NET application integration, Cookies for non-ASP.NET apps. Cookies, too, when the app stores some sort of user ID instead of the username, since it is the username that is used by CS with SSO.
Wayne Bynum with several tips and mods he made in CS to support file uploads > 20MB.
Jeff Espenschied releases a CSModule to do syntax highlighting of code based on a client side syntax highlighter. Jeff posted about it on his blog which is offline at the moment, but check it out. What's also interesting about Jeff's CSModule is that it compiles for the CS2007 Beta 2.
Ben Tiedt with sweet "My Blog" and "My Gallery" navigation bar link examples in CS2007. No more redirects.
In theming my CS2007 I started wondering why CSS Classes were used at times and IDs used at other times. Here Tom Lynch explains and Ben Tiedt confirms, "In the case of CommonTitleBar an ID should be used. But as a rule IDs should be used for unique items on the page like CommonTitleBar and classes should be used for recurring items like CommonSidebar."
TommyWeather with the solution to User not Found when browsing users. Exception details: Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.@tbNames'. The problem was that two users had an empty string for the username from updates dating from CS 1.1. Additional information from Jose Lema.
