Bug in AxImp.exe
I ran into what seems to be a bug in AXIMP.EXE (and the corresponding process in Visual Studio .NET) recently. I tried using one of our older, MFC-based ActiveX controls in Visual Studio .NET toolbox. It barfed generating the interop DLLs, giving the error "Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type <classname>. AxImp.exe generated the same error.

Lutz Roeder is my hero
When I first saw Reflector for .NET, I though it was a nice little tool, but the VS.NET object browser handled most of what I needed.

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
I recently posted two .NET related blog entries - one on ASP.NET request validation, the other on framework version numbers. As usual, I got a couple of comments about the posts - no surprise there.

.NET Framework 1.2?

Disabling request validation in ASP.NET
I recently tried running one of our web applications on ASP.NET 1.1 for the first time. This is a sample app that we ship to customers to show them how to interact with our web service.

The new ASP.NET request validation feature didn't like that too much, and threw up an error. A quick Google pointed me at two different ways to disable this option - a page directive to disable it at the page, and a web.config setting to disable it for the app.

Yukon release pushed back - what about Whidbey?
There have been various stories about Microsoft pushing back the release date of Yukon to the 2nd half of 2004. The question is, does that mean they're pushing back the release date of Whidbey as well? Microsoft seems to talk a lot about these two releases coinciding. And one of those articles implies this as well, but I haven't seen anything definitive. Anyone know?
