Along with Scott Guthrie, Mark was one of the fathers of ASP.NET - is he presenting at PDC...what's he working on now? The talks given by Mark (and Rob Howard) at the Wrox Professional ASP developers' conference in London in 1999 were my first taste of the…

Back in a learning mode once more (currently wrangling information on XmlTextReader and multithreading). Also been rediscovering the wonderful DotNetRocks shows, check them out - great for long journeys / passing time in airports! My current information source…
It is so annoying - no decent legal music download service exists for the UK..iTunes is now available for Windows...but not for the UK, how dumb is that! According to this story, this should be changing soon. Just been playing with it, my god this is a…
Yet to try it out, but this has great potential to make my life a whole lot easier; going between VBScript and C# is not pleasant...if I forget one more then in a VBScript if statement, I may kill someone. Anyway, found the link on Tim Sneath's blog, you can…
A whole heap of useful bits here. The Netping utility solves a problem I've had for a while - tying up IP addresses with machines...very handy! Oh, Jeff Key also makes the excellent Snippet Compiler... Anyway, worth a look!
If you have a lot of ASP code which currently runs on a Windows 2000 server, you probably use CDONTS to send your mail...Now, if you want to migrate to Windows 2003 (or Windows XP for local dev) you'll have a problem - CDONTS no longer comes with those…
Umm...ok, over elaborate title...here's the link (oh, and subscribe to Dave Barry's blog, it's fantastic!)
Found this on Ashutosh Nilkanth'sblog (good name!), basically allows you to run pretty much any CLR code using a Sql Server extended stored procedure - not nearly as good as Yukon, but if you need to do this now, it is a start!
Read on Jesse Ezzel's blog about research showing the ability of monkies to directly control robotic arms with neural impulses.I have to say that, though this is potentially great news for those with severe impairment in movement, it does concern me that…
One fairly interesting little article I read of late is Rewrite.NET, this is by far the best implementation of Url rewriting that I've seen for ASP.NET. In case you're not aware what Url Rewriting is, it is basically a way of providing more friendly URLs for…
I have a rotten cold...result - I'm reading alot but writing very little. On the bright side my reading has thrown up a few little bits and pieces which I'll scribble on this here site very soon...stay tuned...normal thinking will resume shortly...
This is an odd little tip...not sure where I found this out, but I use it a fair bit...if you have an image which you're not sure will be available, add this to the img tag: OnError="this.src='/images/shim.gif';this.width='1';this.height='1'" (where…
I had been planning to implement something similar to this...with a 'twist'. Namely, I plan to do one which accepts multiple rexexp / replacement value pairs, allowing each page to specify it's use of the 'include'. This is mainly so I can share includes…
It's Saturday morning (the time is odd because the host in in the US)...I need to find something to do. Choices currently are: Shopping - Saturday before payday - probably a bad idea! Coding - I have some work to do for work; writing a forum system for this…
Fairly new to this whole Rss thing, but my feeds are all bust...try one, any ideas how I can fix them?
Just finished watching Antz...what's remarkable about that film is how much it's a Woody Allen film...are the people who did Antz the same as the Shrek people? I guess it happned with Shrek too, that was basically a Mike Myers film.<br/> Anyway, I'm also…
You've probably already relaised this :-) But I'm in the process of writing my first article on .NET for future publication to this site. It's an article about using nested repeaters bound on to a DataSet with a relation. I'm trying to make it a simple as…
I've been frequenting the ASP.NET forums of late, great resource but not without it's problems. As a supposed 'communities expert' I thought I'd stick my oar in...as usual! The poster rating system...hmm..I really don't like this one bit, being assigned a…
Well, had a lovely break...now for some code, this will let you 'impersonate' a user - really handy when, for instance, trying to upload a file to a network location...as usual, no idea where I found this, if it was youre, let me know! using System; using…
Taking a break away from computers for a few days...back in a week's time...
