Yesterday at work, I had to try to knock together a quick application to parse a database table and pull out records with a matching name. Simple at first glance, but more complex when you think about the common mis-spellings and abbreviations of names. For example, Jonathan Miller may quite rightly be represented as Jon [...]
This is the second in a series of posts about things I found out while learning ASP.NET MVC. Today : Setting up your development XP machine to run your site.
This is actually quite a simple one, but be warned, the overhead of setting up IIS5 to run an MVC site may lead to trouble if [...]
This is the first in a series of posts about things I found out while learning ASP.NET MVC. Today : adding jQuery support that will work wherever the app is deployed in a directory structure.
In order to reference the jQuery javascript files, I had to figure out how to add a realtive link to [...]
I’ve been poking about with the System.Linq namespace in C# 3.5 this week. Like most “new” areas of a language, it can be difficult to find the time or motivation to delve into the capabilities it provides, but I’ve just had it proven to me that I should have taken the plunge months ago.
In one [...]
I’ve just installed Windows 7 on my MacBook’s BootCamp partition, and so far it looks great. I’m not new to Win7, having had it installed in a Parallels VM since it was released. The experience on the MacBook’s native hardware, though, is so much better. For a start, it doesn’t die when you try to [...]
A quick example of how to iterate through the values in an enum…
enum myEnum { one, two, three, four, five, };
foreach (int i in Enum.GetValues(typeof(myEnum )))
{
myEnum myItem = (myEnum )Enum.ToObject(typeof(myEnum ), i);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(myItem.ToString());
}
As well as my own humble effort, there are quite a few others out there writing LiveWriter plugins. A good place to start looking would be here or here.
Well, about 5 weeks ago I joined Avanade as a solution Developer, and since joining I’ve had all kinds of things going on – not least of which was a trip to Seattle for an orientation / training week. It sounds terrible, b ut is actually really good. I’ll be blogging about that [...]
*This code originally came from another blog, although it was written in VB over there. It has lost some elegance in the translation, but I needed a very quick solution this afternoon, and I needed it in C#, so here you go. *
I needed to determine whether several assemblies were built as “Debug” [...]
My colleague, John, was having problems connecting the remote debugger to our SharePoint stage server. When connecting he got an “Access Denied” error. After spending much of the afternoon Googling for a solution, he came up with the following fix.
Open an MMC session and add the Component Services snap-in. Alternatively, run “dcomcnfg.exe”
