S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A class should have one, and only one, a reason to change In Single Responsibility Principle Each class and module should focus on a single task at a time Everything in the class should be related to that single purpose There can be many members in the class as long as they related to the single responsibility With SRP, classes become smaller and cleaner Code is less fragile  Here  UserAccount  class created which have below operations like, Login, Register, LogError and Send Mail.

Applying Dynamic Themes to WebPage

Applying Dynamic Themes to Web Page (.aspx) in ASP.NET Themes and Skins. The themes and skins features in ASP.NET 2.0 allow for easy customization of your site's look-and-feel.

"Theme1" ; } protected void Page_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Session[ "Theme" ] != null ) { if (Session[ "Theme" ].ToString() == "Theme1" ) Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme2" ; else Session[ "Theme" ] = "Theme1...
