I just wonder if people you know this trick I use (VB) all the time to avoid the infamous DBNull headache.

On this blog, you can find a rant about ASP.Net and the fact that it's not compliant with XHTML standards.

I read the comments, but I didn't found a suitable positive answer to this issue, sadly most of them are negative views.

The only one interesting is about this article “Valid XHTML within .NET” and it's a good start for a solution.

You can download the source here.

Any comments ?

Very good article by Ian Lloyd about “encouraging unenthusiastic developers/mark-up authors to adopt forward-thinking web development methods?”

Ian is a specialist in accessibility and you can check his website.

Extract from his article:

New article by Doug Thews on Visual Studio Magazine online :

“Use the .NET Compact Framework and SQL Server CE 2.0 to give Windows CE and Pocket PC apps access to corporate databases.”

In my previous post I submit this 'little' annoyance I have with Datareader.

Unfortunatly Matt and Dave your answer is wrong, I already tested with.Hasrows before, I should mention it in my post.

Hasrows is a valid test but don't read any data.

It's surely simple but I can't figure out how I can deal with this basic stuff.

That's cool, now Tyson decide to rename himself System.Object Boy.

In his article David Longworth talk about interoperability between J2EE and .Net.
What I liked to read there is a sort of neutral point of view on the subject, putting Java and .Net on their real application and strength.

For David .Net win certainly in the productivity area, where J2EE seems to be overcomplicated for many.
