Introduction The Portal Starter Kit demonstrates how you can use ASP.NET and the .NET Framework to build either an intranet or Internet portal application. It also demonstrates a host of developer "best practices" to follow when building ASP.NET applications. Please review the code below to see how the application was architected and built. |

Portal Framework teSettings() the PortalCFG.xml file is updated making this a natural area to add replication code. The Portal Framework code listed below uses this configuration data to control the portal's content layout (ie: what portal tabs are displayed -- and what portal modules live on each tab) and security settings (ie: user roles, access permissions, etc). |

Portal Admin Tool
The Portal Starter Kit provides an online Admin tool that permits users in the "Admins" role to manage the content, layout and security of the portal. For information about how to use the Admin tool, see the "About the Portal" tab. The Portal Admin Tool updates the portal configuration using a Configuration component, and updates User Roles using the RolesDB component. The Portal Configuration elements, such as Tab names and layout, Module definitions and settings, and Portal display name, are stored in an XML file and retrieved into a cached DataSet. The Roles, User, and Security information, as well as the individual module data, are stored in the database.
