(Apologies for the relative lack of posts, I’m working on something brand new which I hope to be able to share with the community in the coming month…stay tuned). Warning: this might come out as a ramble of thoughts…. I was doing some...

Where's my System.UI.TextBox?

There's a post over at SitePoint calling Page_Load evil . The complaint is pretty much that because it's automatically there (VS.NET generates the Page_Load handler by default) people just cram everything in there. Technically some broad statements...

I'm dealing with string-based inputs that actually represent integers. The system is under very tight performance constraints - tens of thousands of users on it at the same time with frequent server interaction (i.e., they aren't spending 10 minutes...

If you, or someone you know, has any influence whatsoever on Adobe, please exercise it and let them know their "Developer Center" sucks. I've blogged about this before, but I've come across even worse examples lately I went to the main...

Not too long ago, I was experimenting with ways to minimize some code duplication in sprocs. Specifically, I wanted to figure out a way to centralize the SELECT X, Y, Z parts of my stored procedures. For example, I had the following three sprocs: GetAllArticles...

Call me mean-spirited, but... There are a couple blogs I read from people whom I've personally worked with, and it takes every ounce of strength not to post rude and obscene comments. It's like, they blog about things that more or less make sense...

I've had the experience to work with different types of managers over the years. Nice ones, mean ones, technical experts, technical dolts, "certified". While it might be a no-brainer, in my opinion, a technical manager is the way to go. Obviously, good...

So there's a discussion going around about bundling a form of VS.NET (likely some Express Edition) with Vista. It started here , and got a response by Dan Fernandez of Microsoft here , with a number of trackbacks everywhere. One of the arguments given...

I've been searching the web high and low looking for a robust .NET socket server (specifically aimed at multiplayer gaming, but I'm at the point where I'll be glad to find anything). There are decent codeproject articles that cover the basics, and even...
