A very common question in the ASP.NET Forumsis "How do I nest one Repeater (or DataList or DataGrid) inside of another?"; well, my usual stock answer used to be to use the OnItemDataBound event then use a FindControl() to find the Repeater inside the template…

Just noticed that Winamp is giving away a free copy of Spitting Games by Snow Patrol, so you just download the bunde! I bought the Snow Patrol album, Final Straw when it was first released a few months ago - looks like it's now getting re-released with a…
Well, still at it (20 hours after starting - yes, the time on this post is correct!). Really fustrating mostly, but one of those times coding where hours and hours of pain (literally in this case - flu and splitting headaches were involved) were followed by a…
Deadlocks...I hates the little buggers! Just spent the day trying to fix an 'issue' with a site I developed for a client. This is slightly annoying as it's a 'theoretical' issue. Essentially, the client has chosen to do something that I never normally do, load…
So annoying...many nights at around midnight, my connection just seems to freeze. Helpfully, my provider says 'well just restart your router'...hmm...so, I apologise if you're having problems connecting, it's even more fustrating for me!
Noticed a post on Robert McLaws' weblog about Hard-links...go and read the post it'll all make sense... Now, I've recently been working on a project where a requirement existed for an 'uploads' directory to be synchronised between two Web Servers...to cut a…
Nice article on CodeProject on generating fractal snow...and a nice screensaver (which now works on multiple monitors) by Thomas Petricek who has also written a couple of other pretty nice articles and he's only in High School - makes you feel old doesn't it!
One of the most common problems with using CDOSYS (which is the underlying class used by System.Web.Mail) is the lack of authentication for sending mail via SMTP, Darren Jefford posted a method to do this, I've reproduced it below since it's currently hosted…
I left a comment on Rob Chartier's blog about adding confirmation prompts to buttons, now I do use Andy Smith's Confirmed Buttons controls where I can, but if I need to add a simple confirmation to a button, I tended to use the following sytax from…
A comment from Rob Howard (I'll dig out a link later) go me thinking about problems with most blogs. Now, in my every day job I develop community applications, forums and all sorts of similar 'social software systems' one of the big keys to helping discussions…
I'm getting increasingly involved in the world of Asynchrony and have been doing a bit of digging about into some of the pitfalls of multi-threading. I came across an interesting one today involving the use of BeginInvoke without a corresponding EndInvoke when…
I posted a little while ago about an odd 'Memory Leak' I was having...well, after several days of trawling (and annoying Data Wantawho's excellent email component I was mistakenly blaming - sorry!), I finally found the answer! Turns out that the little…
OK, can anyone explain why I can't check explicitly if I can lock a file before reading from it (i.e., check that no-one else is locking the file before trying to read from it). I'm using the marvellous FileSystemWatcher to wait for files being created in a…
Read all about it here...ah, sweet metablogging :-)
Just noticed this in my User Agents....NET CLR 2.0.31022 - now the version I have from the Alpha is .NET CLR 1.2.30703 - is this new string the PDC build?
Now it's after the 26th, the NDA is lifted on the Whidbey alpha...which is nice :-) Anyway, thought I'd provide a look at the new ASP.NET toolbar for Whidbey here. There's lots of really nice new controls which are also much easier to use; one example, you can…
With all the hype about the distribution of the Whidbey Alpha at the PDC, I can't help but worry that people will get their hopes up a bit much...just remember it's an Alpha, whilst phenomenally cool and displaying lots of the new .NET 1.2 (or 2.0, not sure…
If by any chance you install a new version of .NET and still want to work with older sites under earlier versions (e.g., for the Whidbey stuff)... check out Denis Bauer's ASP.NET version switcher...makes it much easier.
Been reading my recent posts and blog comments...umm...sorry, in a bit of a moaning mood of late. I really have to get down to it and contribute a bit more - I have some changes to make to this site which are sitting on my dev version just waiting on…
Today the Design Preview of new versions of ASP.NET happens in London...but I have a prior engagement and can't go...wahhhh!!! If anyone from the ASP.NET design team is reading this - I love travel - and the Residence Inn in Redmond is lovely ;-) Anyway, from…
