Visual Basic functions in C# 2.0(madskristensen.dk)

submitted by madskristensen(8565) 6 years ago

If you used to be a VB developer, but for some reason are writing C# now, you probably miss a couple of functions. I remember being a little frustrated when I did the conversion from VB.NET to C#. It was March 2005 and I made the shift on the .NET 2.0 beta platform. I couldn’t understand why C# didn’t have some of the simplest functions like IsNumeric() and IsDate(). Also Left(), Right() and Middle() were missing. You could add a reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace, but that seemed like overkill for a few simple methods. read more...

Remove whitespace from your ASP.NET page(madskristensen.dk)

submitted by madskristensen(8565) 6 years ago

In a normal webpage there is a lot of whitespace. We put it there in form of tabs and carriage-returns in order to make the document more maintainable and easier to read. But it has its price in terms of adding to the overall weight of the document in kilobytes and it takes longer for the browser to render a page with a lot of whitespace. This is especially true for IE6, which renders whitespace a lot slower than its counterparts. read more...

Fix the Firefox cache problem(madskristensen.dk)

submitted by madskristensen(8565) 6 years ago

For some strange reason, Firefox caches ASP.NET pages even if you tell it not to. This could create problems with the back-button. Normally you can tell the browser how to cache your web page in two ways. You can use meta tags or set some HTTP headers. To be absolutely sure that all browsers understand you cache policy, you could combine the two. However, when you don’t want the browser to cache your page, Firefox caches it anyway. It does so because it cannot se any difference between how the page looked before and after you pressed the back-button. This issue drove me absolutely nuts today, and it took me a while to come up with a solution. read more...
