[note: this started as a comment but started getting a little long-winded. what follows is a little gentle ribbing of Paul for a recent post he wrote about being a lazy cache programmer :P] Mr. Stovell, you've officially lost your marbles :P j/k okay, just to play devil's advocate...>:) I think the asp.net cache framework fits very nicely for its purpose - what you propose seems like another abstraction on top of it, for the benefit of thinking *less* about what items you should cache to *optimize* code execution time? So, just throw everything possible at it. Cache can handle...

I recently ran into a neat little nugget of functionality in C# with events. Normally in C# when we define events we stop at something like this:public event EventHandler<MyEventArgs> MyEvent; The thing is, you can explicitly implement the add and remove accessors if you throw some curly braces into the mix. Why does this matter? Imagine that you have a MainForm, and a usercontrol named ControlPanel. ControlPanel contains another usercontrol called hiddenControl that exposes an event that you want to handle in MainForm, but all MainForm has access to is ControlPanel...public event EventHandler<MyEventArgs> MyEvent{ add{ this.hiddenControl.MyEvent += value; } remove{ this.hiddenControl.MyEvent -= value; } } Now you can subscribe to...

This is just a re-statement of a forum thread that discusses the fix, but since gotdotnet is not going to be around very much longer I thought I'd post this little tidbit here as well. Basically, when I upgraded one of my sites to .net 2.0, skmMenu got upgraded right along with it. The only issue was that all of my menus would show up at the far left corner of the screen, and when you try to navigate to them over there they disappear thanks to the menu items between the cursor and the target. I think I only saw...

I read this excellent post from ScottGu and decided to use it with a page that implemented a masterpage. I didn't have to use postbacks in my scenario, but there were links included from the masterpage. The problem is that if you use app-relative paths for your href attributes (ex: <a href="/default.aspx">) the browser (FF 2.0.0.2 and IE 7 anyways) interperets the url with pathinfo differently than a url without. The base url includes the original page (ex: http://localhost:3333/rewriter.aspx/default.aspx). Guess what? The webserver picks up the last .aspx extension, default.aspx, that bad boy doesn't exist, and you get a 404 instead of...

So I've been able to dig my teeth into some asp.net hacking recently, and I've been wrestling with learning to use SubSonic in the process. In dealing with the scaffold control I ran into a funny issue: none of the exposed properties on the scaffold control will output any style info of the GridView that the control uses (that I could figure out anyways). I ended up with black text on a black background. :/ Seeing as I have the source, I decided to give the scaffold control's GridView a little class...hello GridViewCssClass property! I set it up just like the...

It looks pretty neat. I really dig the "type inside the preview" Web Layout. That's just sweet. The plugin support looks promising...I've already started coding up a CodeHTMLer plugin for syntax highlighting ala PostXING, now if I can get one going that will allow me to post the same content to more than one blog I'll be in business. I've been on a little hacking-hiatus on PostXING for the past few months to spend the summertime with my son Ethan, so what a great way to stretch my geek muscle all over again at the end of summer!

Exactly what I was looking for...I don't know a lot about reflection, so I wonder if there is a more elegant way to get this info.

There are a few things that have to happen for this "regression" to show up. First, you have to be working in .net 2.0 WinForms. Second, you must be using a custom application context. Third and most importantly, you must have at least one form open in your application that handles its closing event and sets CancelEventArgs.Cancel = true. What's the behavior? While operating under a custom ApplicationContext, what would be my Main form is closed by the user. Since the application context is not associated with that form, I decide to call "Application.Exit()" in an override of OnClosing. My...

Wow.

Jerry Pisk Path.GetTempFileName() guarantees that you will get an available name, it does actually go ahead and create the file so it is guaranteed to be yours when you use it. If you strip the extension off and substitute your own you may end up overwriting an existing file. Not a smart thing to do. In my case, I just really want the filename. Whether or not I change the extension, that file is mine to do with what I will. Also, since it's not in the same folder as...

If you need to generate temporary / semi-unique filenames, here is a little snippet that uses the framework:using System.IO; string GetTempFileName(){ return Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Path.GetTempFileName()); } As the name implies, this will return the temporary name of a file without the extension, so it's up to you to add whatever filetype you may be trying to create. For example, let's say I wanted to generate a .gif:string GetTempGifFileName(){ return string.Format("{0}.{1}", GetTempFileName(), "gif"); } I had overlooked this little piece of functionality because the component that I was using generated filenames with GUIDs, so I never really worried about it. Way to make my life easier, .netfx :) [ Currently Playing...

Using Yield in PracticeThe moral of the story is STOP thinking so hard about it, just use "yield return" the next piece of data in the list.  When using the yield statment GetEnumerator's job is to answer foreach's question - "what's my next item please".  Walk all the items in your collection and yield return what you want.  Don't worry about remembering where you were - that's all part of the generated statemachine goo - it will stop and start the function you write as it...

I've updated the NetVibe source with a mildly useful update: listening for changes in SSID as well as IP Addresses. The source is hosted at http://chrisfrazier.net:8080/NetVibe on a subversion server. I used some code that I found at the FurryGoat experience, modified it a little bit, and it seems that it's at least useful in detecting if an SSID ends with something...for example, my WiFi at work has an SSID of VelocityDatabank, so I created a rule to look for an SSID/IP Address that EndsWith Databank. This code definitely needs improvement, but I have found it very useful, and now I don't...

This looks interesting. I thought Mr. "Just finished my last chapter of Beginning AJAX" would have for sure created this as an asp.net control...guess I should have read closer the first time ;) Could be useful in PostXING, ifn we ever put some real security innit. Since there has been so much interest in the SecurePasswordTextBox control (see my previous post http://weblogs.asp.net/pglavich/archive/2006/02/26/439077.aspx and http://weblogs.asp.net/pglavich/archive/2006/03/12/440052.aspx ), I thought I would take the time to iron out the bugs.

Sorry I keep putting out these tests, but I'm trying to see what different regexes will do to a friendly url in subtext. Nothing more to see here. [ Currently Playing : Have You Heard? - ZZ Top - Tres Hombres (3:12) ]

I've got weak regex skillz. I'll admit it. I don't use them very much, so when I do need to, it's nice to know that regexlib is sitting there, waiting for me to come to it with my regex needs. In particular, there is an online Regular Expression Tester that has helped me to look smarter than I actually am on more than one occasion. Sure, I could use a desktop tool for my regex needs (and sometimes I do), but regexlib has the added bonus of having a collection of user-contributed regular expressions that are super useful when looking for ideas...

I can't believe nobody called me on this: BackgroundWorker.IsBusy Property Reflector says it does exactly what I was looking for in a previous post. Technorati Tags:  Windows Forms  BackgroundWorker 

This is a private boolean member of the new BackgroundWorker class in .NET 2.0. If it were public, perhaps there would be less questions like this one on the gotdotnet messageboards. I ran into a similar problem recently and decided that instead of catching an exception when the BackgroundWorker is running, I would emulate the isRunning member myself. Since this is multithreaded by its nature, I decided to use a lock object to control access to a static boolean member in the class that uses the BackgroundWorker component.static bool isRunningBgWorker = false; static object lockObj = new object(); ... if (!isRunningBgWorker) { this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(); } I check to...

According to this thread, Microsoft may run into visioning problems if they stick with their new build number scheme (major.minor.yMMdd.revision) next year. A Version in the .NET framework consists of 4 integers for the major, minor, build number, and revision in that format. When the build number uses the year as the first digit, it becomes 3.0.70101.0 for example on January 1st of next year. The build number only goes up to 65535. Oops. As an alternative, I think I'll be sticking with the BuildDay method, using the UpdateVersion tool. I was hoping to be able to use the AssemblyInfoTask to...

I was having this problem in an application that I've been working on where I was drawing data points onto a PictureBox control - kind of like a canvas. The problem only showed up when a lot of data was thrown at the PictureBox: instead of seeing my data, I would see a loverly big red x. So I did some chasing down a few rabbit holes (apparently this is a difficult issue to pinpoint - I found loads of unanswered forum/newsgroup posts about a red x) and found Bob Powell's GDI+ faq.

I've been chasing down this odd Visual Studio bug where the Enter, Backspace, and Arrow keys stop working. It happened to me in Redmond at Microsoft Campus (of all places!) and it's a known bug that a lot of others have run into apparently. Some folks have noted that it happens with the Beta 2 build, but the link above claims that it is gone from later builds. Sorry, wrong answer, kimo-sabe. Even on the RC build, this showed up. It has to do with how Visual Studio handles USER SETTINGS. Thanks to a comment in ScottH's blog, I found a command line switch (devenv...

Choice Quote:  Now that I have actually used XSL in a project I've come to this conclusion: XSL is the Devil. Go Check it Out.

A few weeks ago I wanted to release an update to my own blogging engine and, because there was a minor data change I thought that it would be nice to export the data before running the update, change the files and then re-import it afterwards.  As I looked into this more I decided that I really should do it in a standards-compliant manner (if possible) and so then set out to: A) talk to people about it, B) rtfm some of the existing formats and C)...

I couldn't find a cut & dry solution to this (probably b/c it's too simple for anyone to think they would need an example) so here's how I got an xml file embedded as a resource in a vs2003 project written to the filesystem.

I'm seeing a little trend - I delete comment spam as soon as it gets to any of my weblogs, so I don't have any hard numbers - posts that I have written about Mike's ReverseDOS sure seem to be getting targeted by comment spammers. I don't see this in the blog that has ReverseDOS installed, but instead at the one hosted on weblogs.asp.net.

After another slew of referrer/comment spam that showed up in my blog this morning, I went ahead and downloaded Mike's ReverseDOS. I followed the steps outlined for setup, but it didn't quite work the way it was outlined at first - I got the dreaded "yellow screen of death".

Since there are probably going to be a lot of posts about all things Whidbey soon, as people get more and more chance to play with things, I've decided to throw in my two cents about a really cool piece of functionality that I recently used. ObjectDataSource - too cool, I've been waiting for something like this for a while. This is more my style than using stinkin' DataSets. You can see what I did at bluefenix.net . I built it based off of the Personal Site Starter Kit that comes with vwd on up, so there's still a lot of Lorem Ipsum...

Congrats, James! Always good to see someone you know catch a deal like this. Too bad there are no comments for me to tell him in his blog :P See for yourself: "Here we go!" on The CoverYourASP.NET Blog .

I took a chance and installed a CTP of Whidbey on my laptop. Thing is, I still use WebMatrix from time to time for POC stuff for v1.x of asp.net. Problem is, when you run the Cassini webserver from webmatrix, it picks up the latest version of the .netfx and will give you different errors based on which version is installed. To get around this and ensure that the WebServer.exe runs on version 1.1 of the .netfx, simply add a WebServer.exe.config file with the following contents:<configuration> <startup> <requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/> </startup> </configuration> If you want to ensure WebMatrix runs on version 1.1 of the .netfx, you can...

Although he only talked about high-level stuff (Exception Handling and Memory Management), I think Brad did a pretty good job. I stopped going to the Microsoft office out here because of all the 100 level classes, I couldn't justify taking time out of the trenches for learning stuff I already knew. But hearing the lead PM on the CLR team speak? It was time to attend my first Houston .NET UG meeting. To be fair, there was also the Hal-PC C# sig there, but I've never seen that room so packed. Overflow rooms had to be set up. Way to go,...

So earlier I said "This is gonna piss some people off..." about the EntLib, right? Well, straight from the developer's mouth: Scott Densmore The registration process is to help us better connect with you. I hope it doesn't detract you from downloading. I think you will love it.   Well, I hope I didn't come across as "I'm not going to download it", cuz I most definitely am. Matter of fact, I'm downloading now. I just thought it would be interesting to see who would say such classics as "The mothership...

When I was working on the latest release of the BlogThisUsingPostXINGPlugin, I kept running into file access issues. The whole thing was an excersize in refactoring - well, really, the whole thing WAS a refactor, since the basic functionality already existed, but I was making additions in how things were going to work. First, I changed the XsltStream to return a FileStream or a ManifestResourceStream, based on the existence of a user-specific file: 1 Stream XsltStream 2 { 3 get 4 { 5 string filePath = Path.Combine(ConfigurationPath, this.BlogType.ToString() + ".xslt"); 6 if(File.Exists(filePath)){ 7 //read from...

Well, it looks like Darren decided to confuse the hell out of me and make his Project Distributor available for download at guess where? Project Distributor! Okay, maybe it's not that confusing (or maybe I just confuse too easily :) This is great news - ever since I've made PostXING available for download at Project Distributor I've had nothing but great things to say about the service...and now I can have it on a server all my own! Cheers, Darren, for coming up with a great idea and making it available to everyone. You rock. [ Currently Playing : Two Tabs of Mescaline - Glassjaw...

I feel like I've hit .net developer's gold. I was searching for a spell checking component and came across this site (with the help of Don Smith). Not only is there a spell checker component there (which looks pretty good at first glance) but there are a bunch of other useful tools ranging from a Windows API file search wrapper to web access for Visual SourceSafe and Draco.NET. Good stuff. P.S. I'm hoping to add spell checking and a couple of other items to PostXING. If you'd like to snag a copy, you can find the latest release here.

Well, kind of :) I have a collection that I want to access in C# with an indexer, the only problem is that the collection is written in VB.NET as part of a library which I need to consume and would be foolhardy to try and rewrite in C#. It's just a mixture of attributes and keywords - but gets me from having to call MyCollection.get_Item("key"); toMyCollection["key"]; Just a stylistic approach on my end to keep the readability of my C# consumer as high as possible. This is basically what I used:Imports System.Reflection ... <DefaultMember("Item")> _ Public Class MyCollection Inherits System.Collections.CollectionBase Public Sub Add(ByVal NewObj As MyClass) List.Add(NewObj) End Sub ... Default...

I was doing my early morning googling and came across this - a set of free icons in the WinXP custom format. Really nice if you want to add that touch of candy to your apps, be they windows or webforms. There are also a set of spheres there that have a slew of different colors...That along with the FireFox extension downTHEMall made for a great 5 minutes of getting some nice starter icon sets.

I just can't pimp Darren's new ProjectDistributor enough. Look at the ideas this guy comes up with. Every time I chat with him, something new is coming down the pike. Let me say, not just new, but innovative, fresh...sometimes so beautifully simple that I have to think "why didn't I think of that?". You know you're onto something when you make others say that. Anyways, Thanks Darren for giving me a little space to place my snippets and for coming up with a great idea that keeps getting better.

It has a white matte.

I've been doing a lot of that lately (embracing and extending). So I'm reading thru Mike's latest article, thinking how can I apply this to an application I'm currently developing? In the article, he mentions that Office 2003 uses both a deductive and inductive UI for various parts of the interface (see his article for a much better explanation than I could give you.) So I tried it out. I downloaded the code and applied something very similar to the Office example shown in the article using Tim Dawson's awesome Sandbar library. There was a problem, though. By virtue of a vertical scrollbar, enabled, disabled, visible,...

You can find them here or there. One of them was really just a VB.NET version of another article that I wrote a while back that was left in the comments by Robert Sindall. Hope someone finds them useful.

Okay, so I haven't posted for a while and you don't care. Established. But you've gotta check this out, for real. Francesco Sanfilippo has been putting in work on www.url123.com , an asp.net link shortening solution. Right, there are a lot of them out there, but this makes it so easy for me to shorten a url...I don't have to have the site open or even remember the name. How do I do this? Easy - bookmarklets. A bookmarklet is one of those things that is so simple, it's beautiful. Scenario: I'm chatting with someone on msn messenger, talking about NUnit. The nunit-gui...

CodeSmith r00l3z. I recently did my semi-annual "house cleaning", where instead of just getting rid of all the accumulated crap I've got on my dev box, I repave and start over. I did this with the idea that I wouldn't install anything without needing it first. Heh, maybe I can keep my start menu down to one column this time ;). So the need arises for CodeSmith - I need a custom collection, and I want to do it from VS.NET. Well, I head over to my \bin folder, and there's codesmith, waiting with a .bat file to re-register itself in VS.NET...

Earlier this year I started using NUnit to see what all the fuss was about. I started on a subset of an application that I'm working on, using it for the database interaction code. I figured that would be a good place to start, since I'm not sure how to test UI stuff, and these were the parts handed to me when the application was in spec stage. I took a pretty simplistic (and probably wrong by some accounts) approach - set up a database with the same structure as what would be used in the end (appended with NUnit to...

I thought I linked to this before, but I guess I was wrong. Here's some google juice for those Office 2003 Faces.

Okay, not everything, but at least www.weblogs.com and blo.gs. I already had some of the code in place, but then I came across an example by Charles Cook, mr. xml-rpc.net hisself, and decided to hack it a little bit. Pretty simple stuff, but this post will tell me if it works :) /me:crosses fingers update: So it looks like it "kinda" worked for weblogs.com - since my blog engine, .Text pings weblogs.com itself, I got a nice little message from weblogs.com saying I should get out more and enjoy life for pinging twice in a row. Well, my friends, it's raining today. blo.gs came back...
