[Jeffrey Palermo] public launch date and availability is still scheduled for the week of November 7th, but Microsoft will be releasing the software to it’s MSDN Universal subscribers first on October 15th. I’ve been looking for changes from the Release Candidate to RTM, but I haven’t found them yet. I’m glad the software is finally coming out. I’ve been working with .Net 2.0 since Beta 1 came out, and I’m looking forward to using the final product.

Aus einem Chat mit Michael Willers zu Thema Indigo (Windows Communication Foundation) und Interop: Michael says: die wahrheit is aufm draht Michael says: die zeiten ändern sich Michael says: fürher war aufm platz heute is aufm draht

Monday: I met Andreas Hoffmann (2nd UG Lead of the VfL Usergrop) and Peter Nowak (Head of FIAEon.net, a community for .NET related vocational education) at Starbucks in Düsseldorf. Tuesday: Benjamin Mitchell notified me that one of my sessions was voted by the british community and I’ll have a session at the Developer Developer Developer Day. Wednesday: I’m in contact with the Student Partners in Wuppertal now (better said Anselm Haselhoff because Marcel Wiktorin is moving and has not replied yet :-)).

The IE Developer Toolbar provides several features for deeply exploring and understanding Web pages. – Explore and modify the document object model (DOM) of a web page. – Locate and select specific elements on a web page through a variety of techniques. – Selectively disable Internet Explorer settings. – View HTML object class names, ID’s, and details such as link paths, tab index values, and access keys. – Outline tables, table cells, images, or selected tags.

It was the second time this year I went to Warsaw (Poland). The Microsoft Technology Summit happend for the first time and was a big success. An amazing event: Two days, about two-thousand attendees, six parallel tracks, four a day. I had about three-hundred listeners in each of my sessions (“Layout and Personalization with ASP.NET 2.0” and “Data-Driven Application with ASP.NET 2.0”). The feedback in the breaks was great.

Torsten Weber invited me to do one day of sessions at the .NET Summercamp: I introduced .NET 2.0 and C# 2.0 and talked about Visual Studio 2005 Team System. It was the first time in Leipzig and i really liked it. Hopefully i’ll be there next year too.

Usergroup-Treffen mal anders: Open Air 400 m² Leinwand Kein Vortragender Am donnerstag haben wir zusammen mit der NET UG-Düsseldorf im Frankenheim Kino den einzigen Geek-Kompatiblen film diese Saison gesehen: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy War super ;-)

For years I used ACDSee 3.0. It always remembered me of the days of Windows 95/NT 4.0. That is the past now. Deep deep in your file system there lies a neat tool that does the job very well. The only problem I did not recognize that its even there for years. After i found it, and yes also liked it. I decided to use it and added the missing part to integrate the Office Picture Manager into daily work.

Carefully said I do not like that sharepoint “hijacks” the Internet Information Server. When you create a virtual directory it is just not accessable because SharePoint took over IIS. Funny fact: This is the second post how to fix issues with IIS and “extension” that cause issues :-) So I decided to hack a small utility serving my needs… Enable to exclude applications from sharepoint services through the directory context menu.

I develop with 1.1 and 2.0 - When VS 2003 creates a web solution it is configured to use the 2.0 runtime. Placeing the following code to the Global.asax’s of your 1.1 projects and setting execute permissions on the aspnet_regiis.exe helps much. protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e){ if(System.Environment.Version.Major == 2) { System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = "%WINDIR%\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322\\aspnet_regiis.exe"; p.StartInfo.Arguments = "-s W3SVC/1/ROOT" + Request.ApplicationPath; p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.

I got an E-Mail from a student this morning asking how to thumbnail an uploaded image. Here is a “quick” solution (there are a few things you can do to increase quality, set JPEG compression factor or keep gif transparency). If you like to dig deeper have a look at one of the articles I wrote for the DotNetPro magazine’s #Talk column. <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <script runat="server" Language="C#"> public void UploadFile(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.

Like Christian Weyer and Damir Tomicic I like the word Indigo more than WCF and just read that Kenny will continue to refer to it as Indigo for a little while.

…And I was just Added :-) Shinja Strasser is the head of the NET UG Usergroups. He is publishing a main feed for the members under http://blogs.netug.de/. Now he opend the main feed for a few guys of the german community.

First of all thank you to everybody who helped (Microsoft, INETA, S&S, E-Team…), spoke (Christian Weyer, Dirk Primbs, Achim Oellers, Dr. Holger Schwichtenberg) nad attended the event. A few things learned: Min. Session time is 60 min. Print out the list of attendees ordereb by lastname ascending Call restaurant to make sure the speakers diner will be served :-P The feedback until now was very good and Stephan and I plan to do the “.

Mike Vernal figured out from where Microsoft’s whole “evil empire” moniker comes from. Must read :-)

Scott posted a solution to support httpOnly cookies in ASP.NET 1.1 but pointed out some problems when you run the code on 2.0(http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HttpOnlyCookiesOnASPNET11.aspx) Here is a solution: protected void Application_EndRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) { if(System.Environment.Version.Major<2) { foreach(string cookie in Response.Cookies) { const string HTTPONLY = ";HttpOnly"; string path = Response.Cookies[cookie].Path; if (path.EndsWith(HTTPONLY) == false) { //force HttpOnly to be added to the cookie Response.Cookies[cookie].Path += HTTPONLY; } } } }

I just stumbled over roy’s post and i think it would make sense to use smth like that as a capcha solution.
