Description
There's loads of advice out there recommending that you implement an Undo feature in your website instead of popping up warning messages to protect users from "dangerous" operations. But there's not a lot of advice out there for how to actually go about doing this in ASP.NET, in either WebForms or MVC. In this course, Keith Brown walks you through his implementation of undo at pluralsight.com to help you get a feel for how you might implement such a feature in your own website.
