I first was interested in Customizing the Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime by Steven Pratschner because I was looking for information on exactly how the CLR interacts with and could control execution of unmanaged code. It turns out, this is not a good source for that sort of information...

I have been looking into doing some WSE development (WS Security specifically interested me). In looking carefully at the issues involved ( including the issue Scott mentions here ), I am wondering whether a move to WS-Security and the rest will buy me anything over and above using Web Services over...

Here is my take on the keynote from MDC/VSLive given by Bill Gates today. Nothing really new for those paying attention, though some of the VB demos showed off Edit and Continue as well as using Code Snippets. This link requires a free registration to view it...

I will mostly be blogging about the Microsoft Mobile Developers Conference on my Mobilized Software blog . Will anyone be out there Monday evening? I will be getting in a 3:00 PM or so and staying at the Crowne Plaza. Drop me a comment here if you are around and looking for something to do Monday evening...

Fabrice writes about makeing the Title as a server-side control, and dynamically changing it from code behind. This works well in general, but be prepared if using VS.NET to have the RunAt=Server attribute removed now and again (causing an error when you then reference the title in codebehind. Sigh....

I started out using .NET and ADO.NET using almost exclusively DataReaders for reading data, and Stored Procedures for inserting/updating data. In general, I have found this to be scalable and entirely reasonable performance wise. I have recently started using DataSets on occasion. My criteria for use...

Well, this may be old news for some, but it certainly is new news for me. I was working with the MS MasterPages sample and discovered a problem with the JavaScript that ASP.NET 1.1 was generating (there was an invalid field name created in the JavaScript - there was a colon embedded in the field name...

I discovered an interesting problem today. I have a site that relies on Session State to store a couple of small bits of information and uses Forms Authentication. I was getting errors (Not an instance of an Object) in places I thought was impossible. It seemed that the Session was invalid in places...

One of the promises of the .NET Framework was that programming language would not matter. Maybe that is putting it too strongly. Programming language would of course matter (there are always some things easier in one language than another) but mixing languages should be transparent. In practice, it seems...

A buddy of mine works for Virtual Bank. They were working on an internal application that is based on ASP.NET/ATLAS. They were setting the defaultbutton attribute at the form level to a button they had on the form and it was only firing the OnClick event the first time it ran. He called me up and asked...
