web sites generally show the section of the site you are in by adjusting the title of the page. For example "nirandas >> blog", "Weblog of Nirandas >> asp.net pages and proper title" etc. There is a common part and a part which changes according to the section your currently browsing. Now developing asp.net sites, you only got a title property to set. The simple thing to do would be to setthe the complete title every time you change the title. Like this.Title = "Nirandas >> Profile of Nirandas"; Surely not elegant enough.

An alternative and more clean solution is to use a common base page for all of your pages and write some code to format the title according to your need. For example you could have a property named Heading in the base page and all of your page set the heading as required. Now the interesting part, your title can be something like this "Weblog of Nirandas >> {0}". And our code in the page's PreRender Event can set the title after formatting the heading using the title. Like

this.Title = string.Format(this.Title,this.Heading);

Here is the class containing some of the extension methods which I always use in my C#.net 3.5 website projects. The class contains 5 methods as follows.

1. public static string FromLeft(this string str, int length) Returns the specified number of characters from the start of the string.
2. public static string FromRight(this string str, int length) Returns the specified number of characters from the end.
3. public static string MakeSEOFriendly(this string str) Makes the string seo friendly by only allowing following characters [a-z0-9,-_].
4. public static string HtmlEncode(this string str) Returns the html encoded version of the string (just a wrapper).
5. public static string HtmlDecode(this string str) Returns the html decoded version of the string (just a wrapper).

All methods will return an empty string ("") if the string on which it gets called is an empty string or is a null string (String.IsNullOrEmpty()).

Code follows

Setting short cut keys for menus, buttons etc are very easy in the .net framework, you just have to set the ShortCut property for menu items. And for buttons etc, you can indicate the access key to be used for the control by putting a & sign just before the letter which should be used as the access key like, setting the text of the button control to "&Open" would set the shortcut key "Alt+O" for the button. However, if you want use other key combinations for the shortcut keys like Ctrl+a, Ctrl+F10 etc, for any controls other than menus or if you want to provide shortcut keys for textbox, you can't simply set any property or use the & sign to indicate it.
