Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:33:00 +0000

Here's a great Microsoft tool that deserves more attention than it gets. Fiddler is a free debugger software that hooks onto your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser.

Never Leave Source Code on the Server

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 17:07:00 +0000

I'm not a big fan when it comes to deploying source code on the Web server especially with the new Web Site projects that comes with VS.NET 2005. If your server got hacked before, you'll understand why source code on the server is a very bad idea. (c#, asp.net, php, perl, security, dotnetnuke)

Global Catch All Exception in .NET Winform and Console Application

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:49:00 +0000

You normally want to catch all exceptions at the highest tier in code so that your program has the chance to display the error message to the user or log it to the appropriate location. Under ASP.NET, you can do so easily by overriding the Application_Error event in Global.asax file. In a windows form or console application, the equivalent global catch all is available by listening to the ThreadException and AppDomain UnhandledException events. (winform, .NET, C#, VB.NET)

It's common practice on the web to copy and paste a third party HTML code to add functionality to a page. To embed this kind of code is normally a breeze for even non-programmers. What appears to be easy is actually quite complicated to do on ASP.NET pages. The reason is because every ASP.NET page is wrapped in one big HTML Form.

How to Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 01:44:00 +0000

When you're testing a web site on IIS either on your own development PC or on staging, you need a way to generate a self-signing certificate if you don't want to put out a few hundred dollars. In the past, Microsoft made available a tool called SelfSSL inside the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit. The tool works but there is a bug when you try to create more than one certificate on the same machine. You keep losing the first certificate you created. The better way is to use the new Microsoft SSL Diagnostics tool ... (ASP.NET, IIS)

Flex your site!

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 01:35:00 +0000

I think I stopped developing Flash at around version 7 or 8, right around OOP programming languages like Java and .NET became mainstream. I saw Flash as a difficult to maintain application. I was lately re-introduced to Adobe Flash once again, this time with the new Flex framework. I was astonished to see how closely it resembled to ASP.NET and C#/Java syntax...
