A handful of us attended the Seattle Code Camp last October and I think that everyone got something out of it. Code Camp is now coming to Vancouver. This is a...
I just registered and plan on attending unless something major comes up. Andrew which track are you going to do? - Will -- Programming today is a race between...
I would likely bounce back and forth between the two tracks. As always, there are time slots where I am not interested in either track and time slots where I...

Lots of new goodies from Scott Guthery. Anyone working with ASP.NET 2.0 should take a look: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/03/30/441465.aspx...
You have to go through a couple of hoops and agree to be marketed to by Microsoft, but you can download Virtual Server 2005 Enterprise Edition for free: ...
Web Application Projects allows Visual Studio to return to its ways of old. In VS2002 and VS2003, web sites had an application project much the same way that...
I am working with an event hook into a class that returns several different types of values within its "e.ReturnValue" value and I only care about one specific...
So if I am trying to see if a user has entered a valid date in a text field, I would write: DateTime myDate = txtDateField.Text as DateTime; if myDate is null...
Not exactly. In your case, you are converting from one type to another (string to a DateTime). You will have to explicity convert the txtDateField.Text to...
Huh? You lost me on this. What my take-away is that the cost of understanding all the subtle nuances of this far exceeds the value of knowing it. So what if a ...
Sounds like the difference between an artist and tradesman. -Wayne ... From: BellinghamDotNet@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BellinghamDotNet@yahoogroups.com] On...
Wayne, Well said. I am too old and too lazy to pretend to be an artist any more. After decades of trying to get my strokes by having people say "Wow, what ...
Looks like I opened a can of worms here. That was not my intention. I enjoy learning all that I can about ASP.NET & C#. I get a kick out of understanding what...
Consolas is one of a number of new fonts that ship with Vista. (And was the only reason that I installed one of the early builds of Vista.) Microsoft has now...
The new Web Application Project model has been released. While new for VS 2005, WAP is in many ways a return to the old ways found in VS 2003. You can now set...
Andy, The WAP looks like both a powerful and dangerous tool. Have you used it yet on existing 2005 projects? What happened? How does this impact the ...
Bob, I have been using the release candidate for 2 or 3 weeks on a project that contains a couple of web sites and a couple of class libraries. No issues other...
I am reading a project spec that indicates the application should contain no unmanaged code. According to Microsoft, managed code is code that sits on top of...
I figured as much. Looks like I'm rewriting this thing. Thanks Wayne. ... -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger...
I am working on a project now for a client that requires all managed code. I have rewritten about 60% of the code and functionality in C# and have now come to...
Thanks for the e-mail Wayne. I am not writing the software that is to be executed. All I know about the exe is that it loads user information for a POS...
I tried opening the exe on the server by double-clicking it and got the following error: "%E: Cannot find "\Ent=' parameter on the command line." So there is...
I have a page that contains two pairs of GridViews and ObjectDataSources and a third table (with lots of dynamically created LinkButtons) all three linked in a...
Andy, The ODS code I sent you is heavily instrumented with TRACE statements that write to a log, just so I could follow the sequence of event firings. I ...
I am working on an application that is going to handle many different permissions for users. I am trying to clean up the code that the previous developer left...
