re: A simple ASP.NET photo album

@Sayed Mohamed: I really think that is the problem. Are you sure the bin directory is directly under a directory that is configured in IIS to be an application?

"CS0246: The type or namespace name 'com' could not be found"

I'm sure that the MetaDataExtractor.dll is loaded to the Bin directory .

What is the problem ?

@Chriss: the two protocols that are whitelisted by default are http and https, but you can push a new one into Sys.UI.Template.allowedProtocols.

Does Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.deserialize() account for the timezone adjuster?

@etam: no, except if transfer was the right thing to do to begin with. They are not interchangeable.

Do a redirect (with the right overload) when you want the URL in the browser to reflect the change, and do a transfer if you want to delegate the processing of the current request to another handler or page without it being reflected in the URL. Those are two very different use cases and one should not switch just to work around a bug. Fix the bug instead :)

I downloaded and install it to Windows 2008, but still the same thing. The asp:menu works fine in IE7 but in IE8 the asp:menu not work well the same as before installation of the patch.

@Neeta, That just ignores the timezone adjuster +0100. Be careful with daylight savings time if you are using a server in a different timezone to the target country of your site. I use a 3rd party JSON API which is hosted in GMT-700 SF, USA. However the target audiance is worldwide and I am testing in UK. Dates I added earlier in the year during BST (British Summer Time) but before SF went back an hour were an hour out though the time zone adjuster always showed -700!
