I’ve just come back from third DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper UK Community event. In fact I’ve come back yesterday, but I was too tired to write anything. It was my very first community event in UK since I’m here and I have to say that – it was great. I had an opportunity to mee

It’s Strange, but I’ve never realized that these tolls exist. Shame on me, I know.First, Web Devloper Helper by Nikhil Kothari is plugin for Internet Explorer. It allows tracking HTTP traffic, debugging script, displaying ViewState, exploring DOM and more. It opens as a tab inside IE. Se

Some time ago, one of my friends wrote about the upcoming ReSharper edition for the VS 2005. I’ve checked, downloaded and installed. I could compare this to famous sentence said by Caesar, but not really. I’ve added on more – uninstalled. At the beginnings everything looks brillian

Finally installed. There was the SQL 2005 Express necessary before, but according to what I’ve read should work well with any SQL Server 2005 edition. After install we have the new branch of projects ready to use. Unluckily projects for SQL Server 2005 aren’t working well in the CTP3, s

My previous post about VSTSDBpro was just the first step. Today’s morning I’ve sit down in my desk and started up with fresh power. Unfortunately after just a few steps I’ve hit a wall which stopped me. I regret to have to say it, but VSTSDBpro in CTP3 version is useless. The origi

Client Java Script is one of the most important things in web development but not the best and easiest to develop. Building of bigger and more complicated scripts, especially using DOM model or form field values can cause a lot of frustration and head pain. If we add debugging problems to that, we h

Some time ago, I've started using the blogmarks. Not for any particular reason, I'm not using tag cloud anywhere (so far) but I found the blogmarks as nice source of interesting pages. From time to time, I'm just looking what interesting pages peoples are posting there. This way I've found, maybe fo

In previous post I wrote about label control that will generate "true" label tag. Here is more code for that simple control. Now you can assign control (like TextBox) which label will be for. Also AccessKey is rendered as underlined character. Happy using. 1 using System

A few days ago, I found unexpected problem with using Atlas in one of applications. No matter what I've done, UpdatePanel gives me "Unknown Error" message. I had this before and thought it is problem somewhere deep in application, but this time was different. Atlas was working well unless I've

Some time ago I was writing on my old blog about web form design. Since this time I made further investigations and I have to say … it’s not very well. There are tons of guidelines about web design but a lot of them are dedicated rather to designers not developers. There are of course great guidelin

I don’t actually remember when I’ve meet Atlas very first time, but it was some time ago. For almost everything I was working on, UpdatePanel and a few controls from Toolkit were absolutely fine and everything works well, so there was no need to do anything more. Then my time has come. I

I was expecting a lot of new amazing stuff popping up like a mushrooms after the rain, but no, it's a bit quiet like everyone is afraid of using the new .NET.

One of the limitations of the IIS6 on Windows XP is that IIS is limited to only one site, so I had to use virtual directories for every site I was working on. Unfortunately I had one project that has to be placed directly in the site, not in a virtual directory. That situation made some configuratio

Well, last time I didn't blog too much so I've decide to start a new cycle. It's the best way to force myself to post more frequently.
