It's Time for Microsoft to Make SQL Server Hosting Free.
posted by jamesewelch(2275) 4 years, 7 months ago 0
Microsoft doesn't host databases. That's up to the web host providers not Microsoft. If the host wanted to pay the bills themselves, then it could be free. I don't understand the argument. SQL Server costs money for the web host providers, but whether or not and how much they charge their clients has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Nice article.
Windows Update takes TV Station Off Air
Not really .NET or development related
Error Message: Your Password Must Be at Least 18770 Characters and Can
This doesn't have anything to do with .NET or programming. Error only applies if you are running Windows 2000 without SP3.
DotNetKicks "Kick It" plugin for Windows Live Writer
I've been thinking about writing this for a few weeks now. Looks like you beat me to it. How about adding color selector? Too bad this won't work for wordpress.com hosted blogs, since you need the other WP plugin to translate the placeholder.
You are the BOMB!!!!
Should fix this title and description. Its actually a link to a ScottGu article on Public Hotfix Patch Available for Debugging ASP.NET on IIS7.
Are you making these 3 common ASP.NET AJAX mistakes?
So the tip is to use ScriptManager.IsAsyncPostBack to check for postback? Hopefully everyone doing ASP.NET work already knows about checking for Page.IsPostBack, so if the MS ASP.NET AJAX implementors are worth anything they should already have figured out to check for IsAsyncPostBack.

bad title and description to another valid article
Microsoft: Should we allow .NET EXEs to run off a network shares?
Yeah, I started using click once to circumvent this also. But just allowing .NET executables to be treated like non-.NET executables would be great :) Make sure you vote and leave your comments on that site.
Regions == Evil

You can also use Regionerate (VS add on) and have predefined XML files that manages how you create your class's regions, so your code's regions are uniformly named and uniformly contains the same items (or so that you can enforce standards of how to use regions, etc.). Regionerate also allows you to put your new methods/properties/fields anywhere and just click Regionerate and it will move it to the correct spot - best of all its free. Sorry for the plug, Regionerate is one of my favorite VS add ons :)
That (throwing exceptions on VS load) happened to me a few times, but then it stopped doing that a while ago. Did you check to make sure you have the newest version? I can't remember what I did to make it stop, but maybe I didn't do anything.

Reduce ASP.NET Page size and complexity using JQuery-Part 1

Not really an ASP.NET AJAX versus JQuery example. No asynchronous calls are made and none of the ASP.NET AJAX controls are used.
.NET Coding Standard & Code Review Points

On another note, why not just use StyleCop? I've been using it and it works great. It catches lots of coding preferences (and has a toggle for each rule, if you don't like that rule). There's at least one (maybe 2) of the rules that VS 2008 goes against (putting using outside of namespace, I think) that you can disable.
