Just noticed a new article on MSDNfrom Scott Mitchell which pretty much covers everything you need to know about ASP.NET Viewstate. This is one of these ones which will become my first suggestion for people who have questions on this most mysterious and…

One of our developers had a problem where his VS.NET 2003 installed on Windows Server 2003 was greying out all of the options under the Source Control menu - took a little while to find the solution but eventually discovered it here - so if you have this…
This is a really handy little add-in which lets you examine the content of XML bearing variables during debug sessions. I just discovered Ben Lovell's blog , lots of useful stuff over there...
I posted earlier about the MSDN Magazine CHM downloadable, just found a little CHM reader (in .NET yay!) on Codeproject, mobile MSDN magazine! (OK, so technically, always been mobile!)
Basically, Joel covers a whole bunch of ground in this article, including issues like why it's not in Microsoft's best interest to support DHTML and advance Internet Explorer (which actually explains a WHOLE LOT!), and the basic problem around Windows -…
Now there's a post title I never expected to write, anyway, got this in my mail from B3TA - theres lots of wierd stuff on that site, but this movie just rocks! Basically it's squirrels (or tree-rats as the movie calls them)..umm...busking. You can downloads…
Well, the last episode of Friends is about to start...and just been doing my blog trawl before I shut my laptop for the weekend - for which I just bought a new power adaptor; if you need a laptop adaptor, live in the UK and want the best deal, check out…
Really just a wrapper around the really nice native C library, but could be handy when you need to compress stuff in the quickest way possible...here's the SourceForge homepage
Just noticed this link in a post on Kent Sharkeys blog. The article by Scott Mitchellcovers various methods of making ASP.NET 1.1 based sites conform to WAI accessibility guidelines (or US Section 508 if you prefer :-)). It is still stunningly annoying (and…
Should mention I suppose the I lied in yesterdays post on threading using .NET...mea cupla :-). In that post I mentioned using delegates for multi-threading and said that you always had to use EndInvoke to avoid a memory leak...well not quite, what i actually…
This is a common puzzler for people new to .NET (who aren't in the US!), just how do you parse a DateTime to be correct for your culture? Answer, pretty easily...the DateTime.Parse has an overload which accepts an IFormatProvider, so this will let you parse a…
I found some really interesting articles on the new ASPNETResources.com site, including stuff on Doctypes which was pretty good and tips on getting CSS2 Intellisense support in VS.NET - worth keeping an eye on how this site develops methinks! Also a…
I have a tendency to forget that people don't necessarily know everything (in counselling we called it "contextual framing" - basically aligning your mindset with that of the person you're counselling). With this in mind, here's a simple one which I forgot…
OK, terribly documented, but it works...this is just the source for a little HttpModule which tracks hits to a .TEXT blog - pretty simple but should give anyone who wants to do it a start. I'll post a more complete version at some point (mainly just want to…
Via Alex Barnett's post, with the earning potential of these things I can think of nothing better than for some of the cash to go to charity! You can get more details on the Big Noise Music site, where I notice they have a 1p streaming thing as well as a 75p…
I used to work with Michael at a previous company, one of the most creative coders around any certainly worth keeping an eye on...He also has a really interesting post on Web Accessibilitywhich links to a report pointing out some of the problems with current…
Thought I'd mention, while I was making the new skin for the site (which you'll miss if you're using a Reader of course!), I wanted to use a PNG for my little logo since I'd used a gradient and the logo has a drop-shadow which looked wierd under the wrong…
Well, this is the first of a few updates to this site over the next couple of days (prefer to take these things in steps - starting with the biggest). The update was fairly straightforward - one thing I haven't seen mentioned is the removal of the IIS *.*…
Really useful service, chances are when you design a website you don't have access to the dozens of browser / platform combinations that your users do. Browsercam(though commercial) offers the only truly viable way I've ever seen to do this, put simply you…
Wow, this thing is promising. I usually use BlogJet for posting but SauceReader has a good RSS Reader and posting interface - and it has a functional SpellChecker!
