URL rewriting, help required
I need some help here. For a web application I needed to use URL rewriting to create some nice easy to remember addresses.
Everything's fine except for some controls. I have on this page a Search textbox, so the user can enter a text and I send him to a search results page.
Very trivial, but with URL rewriting, according to this excellent article, you need to override the form tag to make things working properly.
So I used the assembly provided with the article, and actually only the method GET works. The POST method don't fire any events and send me back a 405 error. -

Shadow effect for your windows
A useless but useful gadget software to add a shadow effect to Windows.
It's really cool to see at last the windows in some sort of 3D effect. The menus can also have a shadow and transparency. -

VBParser Beta 1
When I started this blog a year ago, one of the things that I mentioned that I was working on in my spare time was a scanner and parser for the Visual Basic language. It's kind of been on the back burner, behind things like VB 2005 and the book, but it's finally gotten complete enough to release! I created a GotDotNet workspace for the code, and there's a binary release there as well.

Whidbey debate: Is the page an application ?
Alister post this comment regarding the conversation I reported on Widbey concerns:
To add my two cents, maybe in Orcas the page will be the Application and the UI will be generated from the page. It means that in this case we go full circle, back to a proprietary system, where the UI (Windows, HTML, XHTML, etc...) doesn't matter. -
