This site (written in C#) is based upon the Personal Website Starter Kit by Microsoft with modifications derived from the work by:

• Matt Gieselman (exif data for photographs) and the possibility to include movies in the albums,
• Jeremy Wadsworth (user management and blogs).

Moreover, I added a guestbook section and created a database driven, multi-language content management system for the site that will be activated soon. The site uses also a moderate amount of Ajax to improve the style, and to allow for partial refresh for instance pages that include passwords (which otherwise disappear after a postback: such as occurs when a first DropDown list determines the content of a second one) as in the registration page. I added paging to the photo albums pages. Even though the database in use is SQL Server 2005, the paging mechanism used functions also with SQL Server 2000, as it was developed for the latter and has been tested also with SQL Server 2008 (including the EXPRESS edition.

I also developed three server controls: “Copyright Control”, “LastUpdate Control” and the recently added “DynamicButton Control”, which can be downloaded (source and binary) by registered users from the download section.
