MagicAjax.NET is an open-source library designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to integrate AJAX technology into their web pages, without replacing the ASP.NET controls and/or writing tons of javascript code. MagicAjax initially appeared as a codeproject article. Now it is hosted on Sourceforge and a 0.2 version supporting NET 1.1 and NET 2.0 is coming soon. Until then you can try this unstable cvs snapshot.

With the release of SQL Server 2005 Microsoft introduces the long overdue ROW_NUMBER() function to solve this problem.
In this article Jason Witty will walk through a C# implementation of pagination using the ROW_NUMBER() method. 

I am really optimistic by nature (yes it’s true) but the migration to VS 2005 is really too hard :-(

If only my boss could let met six months alone on a (tropical) remote island with my laptop, few .Net 2.0 books (and a good provision of beers) yes I will be so happy.
But in my not so exotic life, I have to deal with many things and I don’t get the thing, too much things going wrong, really hairy and scary.

Under pressure I guess so, I reckon it’s great to have ‘Exclude from Project’ back again. But why oh why I can’t exclude a folder itself?

I want to keep a structure in my project, and I need to keep this specific folder under another project. But I don’t want to compile it. Now I need to exclude all the files ‘manually’. I have some images subfolder inside plus a lot of other subfolders, so imagine the job to exclude the files.

Encrypts .NET applications and DLLs.
CodeVeil adds native code to assemblies to decrypt the assembly just before the .NET runtime needs access to the data.

Features include:
- Full MSIL encryption: your MSIL is encrypted and cannot be read with readers like ILDASM or Reflector.
- Resource and string encryption: strings embedded in your code, and resources like images and form text can now be encrypted.
- Blob encryption: selectively encrypt data stored in the blob heap. This data includes parameters for attributes, default values for fields, and method signature information.
- Encrypt both EXEs and DLLs.
- Obfuscation: obfuscate the names of public classes, methods, properties and fields.
- Anti-debugging, anti-tracing.
- Modification resistence: CodeVeil creates dependencies on the unmodified source so that a user cannot modify your assembly without making it completely unusable.
