Here is a VB.NET version of the Luhn algorithm (back when I had to code in VB.NET)... http://www.dotnetkicks.com/vbnet/Credit_Card_Number_Validation_VB_Net_Function

Thanks for the tip @jonas. Bought both, as well.
Yeah, I learned about it from Hanselman's twitter, but didn't know about the other books on sale.

"The article you want to view was deleted at 11:41 12 May '08" Huh? Pre-emptive DNK-effect defense? ;-)
ALT.NET
@Mike - am I missing some part of this article, or did you comment to the wrong DNK post?
@Mike - oh, okay, gotcha now. Re: MS products being listed in the ALT.NET Geek Code -- that's a good point and quite funny. :-) I've seen the Geek Code before and the irony never dawned on me!
Code Based Repeater for ASP.NET MVC
I hope this article doesn't cause too much confusion for MVC learners (such as myself). It is mostly an experimental/prototypical exercise by Phil. Granted, it would be useful cases where <asp:Repeater /> doesn't haack it. Phil even admits: "It turns out that the regular <asp:Repeater /> control works just fine with ASP.NET MVC, so there’s no need for such an ugly method call. I just thought it was fun to try out and provides an alternative approach that doesn’t require databinding."
ASP.NET MVC Controller Action Precondition Filter
As Phil Haack pointed out in the comments, I forgot to mention Postconditions as well: "By the way, you can also do PostConditions this way too with action filters as we have an OnActionExecuted method that runs before we execute the result."
ASP.NET: officially unmaintainable
I think that WebForms (the title should really have been something like "ASP.NET WEBFORMS: officially unmaintanable") got some things right. I love the RAD aspect of WebForms, and it is one of the things that really attracted me to ASP.NET moving from JSP/Java Servlets/JavaBeans. If I would've done ASP development, I probably would've felt the same about the transition. Since ASP.NET MVC is so young, it's hard to tell what v1.0 will include, but we're not really that far away from an RTM (granted, out-of-band support, think ASP.NET AJAX before .NET 3.5). The immature/grassroot server/user controls, state persistance (e.g.: viewstate), and validation stories are what concern me the most that in some aspects it may be a step backwards. I love the open nature vision of ASP.NET MVC, with its pluggable architecture, but "off-the-shelf" it needs to have MS-supported baselines/defaults for server/user controls, state persistance (e.g.: viewstate), and validation, IMO, to be ready for production and mass consumption.
A good coding font makes a difference. Envy Code R, better than ever!
