Just noticed (well read it on Jason Salas' blog if truth be told) that ASPToday has finally made a comeback and it has new clothes! Oh, and it now includes the C# Today content - which is just so fantastic I think I may pop...anyway, go, subscribe and keep…
Excellent article on ASPAlliance on how to run and test ASP.NET applications on Linux and using Mono...is it just me or are the 'pages' on ASPAlliance getting REALLY short?
Well, I've had a few emails asking where the hell the article I promised has gotten to - I am writing it, it's just really tricky to do that stuff; for me, people like Dino Espsito seem to crank fantastic articles out at a rate of knots. Well, currently I'm…
Not content with producing some of the best free ASP.NET tools around, Matt's only gone and made a fantastic little utility to make deploying web sites much easier. This little tool lets you deploy sites to either FTP or file shares with version checking…
I'm having 'issues' with my email at the moment...normal service will (hopefully) be resumed shortly... UPDATE:Umm...anyone who just got a really old email from me umm...sorry! I switched back to an old email server which seems to have had a bunch of mails…
Found this site really interesting from Maxim V. Karpov, basically it's a blog with a focus on the use of design patterns in .NET - which I personally think are currently not widely underused but could provide a huge boost to a whole lot of developers. Maxim…
This is one of the major pains with using Visual Studio .NET to work with ASP.NET - debugging almost never works on a new install and it can be a major pain to get it working. Noticed this link on Min's blog (he's also on the Debugger Team which helps :-)) -…
Well there's still a problem with my mail server...so the contact section of this site doesn't work right now...trying to figure out why...
I really wish there were more blog posts like this one, it covers a whole host of problems IE has with CSS, from the lack of :hover support, to the well known issues with PNG files - oh and check out the comments, an awful lot of clever people have replied…
AARGGHHHHH! Man I hate it when you get a nice fun gadget and it doesn't work...So anyway, I decided to buy myself a nice new iPod (20Gb model in case you're interested), got it home, read the instructions (for a change), installed the software, rebooted and…
Found this on Loren Halvorson's Blog...he (?) explains it best, so here's just a complete copy of what he wrote... Is anyone using AzMan? We are in the process of developing a common role based authorization layer for several of our applications and stumbled…
This just another one of thoise dumb little snippets that I always forget and is a bit of a bugger to find...so, if you for some reason (e.g., compression / encryption) need all of the contents of a file to be held in a byte array, here's the simplest way I've…
I'm currently working my way through the book "Agile software development with Scrum" by Schwaber and Beedle [US] - gotta say, it's looking pretty good! I'm only about half way through but so far it looks like the only development process which may actually…
Really nice control from Bipin Joshi for handling RSS feeds - so you can easily provide one from your site...
I found this really useful little assembly / code when looking for a simple, free way to convert a DataSet to Excel - couldn't be easier, just one line of code required for the conversion, here's the line I'm using:…
You know when you get to the point where you're happily coding away then suddenly, Visual Studio .NET causes you to want to kill someone...two things are really bugging me right now: Editing stored procedures - so, you use the nice designer (I believe Da Vinci…
I thought this was pretty interesting - compiles MSIL into Java Bytecode so you can run C# or VB.NET (or any other . NET language I assume) on J2EE application servers. At first glance, the question qhich arises is 'why the hell would I want to do this?' but…
Found it as ASP.NET...this is rapidly becoming pretty much essential for any site where users can register and post text, blogs, forums, the lot...this article provides an extensive review of current uses of CAPTCHA, ways to break it and how to avoid those…
Been playing with Mozilla Firefox - gotta say, it really is fantastic! MUCH faster than IE at loading pages, more standards compliant, skinning, better privacy settings...basically what IE should be (and would be if MS had any competition in that space IMHO).…
