Gova's Podcast-ASP.NET Podcaster Solution

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/GovasPodcast.aspx

Today podcasts are very important and play a major role . I was actually looking for a complete podcast solution but i was disappointed and didn't find any. So i decided to write one of my own and make it available for everyone as a complete podcasting solution. This is developed using ASP.Net along with amazing JQuery which made it so simple and easy. JQuery made the whole development easy and now the inclusion of Jquery in to Dotnet is very encouraging.
Background

This is my first version of Podcast Solution and hope this would be helpful for others to create a Podcast and maintain their podcasts. As i said this is my the first version so i am looking for suggestions and if any bugs are found then please mail me at apondu@gmail.com or apondu@neversaydie.co.in. I would have the complete code available with in few days and have everything ready and updated if i get any suggestions or bugs from anyone. Anyways this is version is all ready and roaring to go in to production and can be useddirectly for live implementation

I got the idea of Podcast by one of open source project "Podcast Generator" which is a PHP version, as my regards i have retained basic UI similar to Podcast Generator but conceptually this version of Podcast is differnet from Podcast Generator.

I am also thankful to one of the Developer Phuongkar whom i met online for introducing me to JQuery which is very wonderful. I have made use of JQuery extensively during this version of Podcast development.

The Podcast Solution is mainly divided into 2 parts Admin and Guest.

Admin is the generally the one who is going to use this Solution to create and maintain his podcasts and Guest part is for other who wish to keep track of the Podcast.

This Solution of Podcast provides many options to Admin and Guest and one fo the feature which outstands is the ability to provide the inbuilt Podcast Viewer i had to do this because of Google's Chrome which lacks the podcast viewer/reader and i felt this should not be a restriction and this also is compatiable with ITunes and other stand alone podcast readers and u can subscribe to the podcast and keep track of the update.

This Solution provides 2 versions of inbuilt podcast viewers to view the Podcast items, "View All Podcast" this option allows to view all the podcast of the selected category at once and "View Recent Podcast" option allows to view only the recent podcasts, the number of items viewed is controlled by the Admin which is set by changing the Recent Items View option in the Admin's Home page

Default login details for Admin is
