Many times I came across an ASP.NET MVC application, where Entity Framework Model (or Database Model) is being used as view model as well.

In past one of my friends asked me how to configure self-signed SSL certificate in local IIS 7 or later. Steps for creating & configuring SSL in IIS 7 or later is pretty much straight forward.
