Emailing UTF-8 to Hotmail?
It looks suspiciously like Hotmail explicitly rejects viewing UTF-8 encoded email - is this correct?

How do I get around the "The same table (xxxx) cannot be the child table in two nested relations" error?
I bet this is a schoolboy problem but even the mighty google is not helping. I am trying to read chunks of DMOZ RDF xml into a dataset.
I am getting a "The same table (xxxx) cannot be the child table in two nested relations." error which I think I can sort out by doing a XSL transform .. which is where I am stuck.
What I am doing is
Dim DS As DataSet = New DataSet
DS.ReadXml(MapPath("xml/" + Request("x") + ".xml"))
DataGrid1.DataSource = DS.Tables("externallinks")
DataGrid1.DataBind()
DS = Nothing
How do I wedge in a transform to take out the offending relation before I do the ReadXml statement?
The XSL examples I see online either output to a file or use methods that VS is telling me is obselete :O( -

Cheap UK Internet Magazines Subscriptions
Don't you just love ASP and .NET? Because of Google Adwords recent TOS changes I have had to rapidly set up a site for my magazines campaign, thanks to these lovely web platforms I have been able to do this in double-quick time. I had scraped the merchants site and used regex to grab the content days before the official feed. Another campaigns feed is so limited I am going to use the same code and tweak to produce my other site. I know this could be done in PHP but I think the OS crowd would be hard pressed to produce a tool as productive as VS.NET :O)

Browscaps, ASP.NET Browser detection
Just lately I have had a nightmare with server-side browser detection. One day all designers will do standards compliant html code and all browsers will support standards. Until then we are stuck with detects, I like to do my detects server side but am hindered - HINDERED I tell you! I am not going to get into why I hate browserhawk, just let's leave it as browserhawk is not an option.
