Teched Girly geek dinner

2006-11-01T02:38:00.000-08:00

Is anyone going to the girly geek dinner that needs a date.I'm heading to Barcelona on my own & looking to meet other developers. An evening with female developers sounds far more appealing than an evening with the male alternative.If any one is interested & superficial enough to care what i look like, i'm the one on the left here :-) flickrhttp://barcelonagirlgeekdinner.pbwiki.com/The%20First%

So the main reason for giving my blog a bit of much needed TLC is that i'm off to Teched in a few weeks & wanted somewhere to keep track of my time there - somewhere i could jot down titbits of information so i don't forget.If you're going to be there then drop me a line, craig [dot] edmunds [little at sign] gmail [dot] com.See you there

Debugging ASP.NET v1.x applications after installing .Net Framework v2.0

2006-10-13T02:15:00.000-07:00

I've been tearing my hair out with this, finally found the answer!!I installed yesterdays beta of the .Net Framework (build 2.0.40607.0), had a little play around with it at lunchtime but then had to get back to work. Loaded up the project i'm currently working on, hit debug and whoa!! what's gone on here!A nasty popup - Error Message: "Error while trying to run project: unable to start debugging

Visual Basic users are second class citizens!

2006-10-13T02:14:00.000-07:00

Just thought i'd have a little rant about the fact that in VB "Advanced Members" of classes are not shown by default! The problem came up when i was trying to explain to a colleague how to write out client side javascript from the server side "Page.RegisterClientScript or something like that" i told him but he couldn't find anything in intellisense!Then i rememberered -goto tools-->options-->text

Xml Serialization & Default Namespaces

Microsoft (un) Technical Roadshow 2k4

2006-10-13T02:06:00.000-07:00

Just got back from Microsoft’s Technical Roadshow & I’ve got to say - overall i was a bit disappointed, considering ASP.NET has been around for over two years you’d think that when Microsoft hold a show (or shows) of this scale they’d be aiming at an audience with more than a basic knowledge of the product. I went on most of the developer track events with a smattering of security & a pretty

I think this blog is just going to be me giving an idea of my (a developers) point of view on microsoft's technologies - mainly .net but probably some sql server included. I'll blog on strange things i come across when coding & solutions to those problems, events i attend (and things i learn at them), and anything else that may come into my mind in between.I also quite like the "I am currently
