As indicated in a previous post, and as Scott Guthrie also pointed out, Sharepoint 2007 is built upon ASP.NET 2.0. Well, so a Sharepoint 2007 WebPart is a decendant of an ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart, i.e. You...
This hapened while I was trying to pop open a can. It hurt a crapload, I shreiked like a woman, and lost about a glass of blood.

So lets say, you've double clicked on the Sharepoint 2007 installation exe. What happens now?
Well, yeah your http://<<yourmachinename>> now shows a sharepoint port...
The membership API is awesome. No doubt about that. But I wish it had a more obvious in-built support for SSO. The only authenticate method takes in a username and password, there is no support for a ...

Earlier I had posted a message about watching me present live in 24 more minutes. Well around then the live broadcast only showed my face - no slides or code. Thats been fixed now.
Well, watch my arch...
My new article on System.Transactions should now be available in the newest issue of code-magazine. It is not available online just yet, but that should happen in a few more days. For now, you should ...
Allrighty, that's the best way I can describe DLinq. It's a lot of power, but if you're not careful, you'll definitely cut yourself.
So here goes.
Lets begin by setting up a database, lets keep things...

I just wrote up, what I thought was a cool thing that I should share about - Dlinq: Playing with Knives. (PS: If you're viewing this in an RSS Aggregator...
Okay lets be honest. Inspite of the fact that you're so cool, and know so much about ASP.NET, every now and then you find yourself looking up MSDN when it comes to implementing an ultra basic thing su...
Well this is a kind'uva important concept, which so many folks mishmash upon, so thought I'd blog about it.

Of all the folks I have worked with, only a handful have upgraded to .NET 2.0. Of all the folks I know, only *one* is actively working on WCF (and that too I am not sure to what extent, I bet WCF is j...
So at what point does tommorow's technology, promised day before yesterday, end up becoming yesterday's technology?

Yes, some of us still need to worry about people connected over 28.8K Modems. Testing for low bandwidth connections is usually painful, you need to rely on a hardware solution such as netscreen.
