• The Incredible Bug in Microsoft's User Interface Process Block

  In the last project we've used Microsoft's UI Process Block the very first time. That's really new for an Asp Developer... all these patterns and best practices ;-) However, Friday I pushed the site to our demo server but was unable to open it. I always received a DNS error. After "minutes" of testing I found out, that the site runs under a virtual directory without any problems but NOT as root application. I played around with "/" and "~" and "~/" and ... in the navigation graph, but still unable to run it in root. Then I started googling around and found a single entry at Matthew Reynolds .NET 247 http://dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/38/190699.aspx This guy fixed it himself! At GotDotnet workspace http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=0af2b0ef-b049-401a-a2f2-f55a070c1572 I found a bug entry from  Dec'03 and not fixed until today!!! That's incredible, isn't it? Does no one tested it in a real world scenario? And best of all - this bug has not highest priority! Great :-) I followed Steve's bug fix, maybe I'll find some time to wrap it up here ...  Posted Feb 29 2004, 01:18 PM by SebastianWeber with 1 comment(s)

• Good Morning!

  Here I'm - Scott, thank you very much for providing me this blog space here! Maybe I'm a little bit late in starting my first weblog in 2004 but we are also developing software after the boom in 2000 ... It's always a good time to start something - you shouldn't wait for the future nor lament the past. Some words about myself: I'm from Duesseldorf, Germany and Software Engineer in Cologne. Besides this I'm author of several articles about .NET Programming and Sql Server (Yukon) and still working on the Sql Server Yukon Programming Handbook. Last but not least I'm speaker in the field of .NET technologies  That's for now - First, I need a closer look at .Text feature set - very exciting tool!   Posted Feb 29 2004, 11:50 AM by SebastianWeber with 4 comment(s)
