I was copying a file from my Windows 8 machine to my desktop and the file was copying about 122K. I saw that my network connection was no longer using the hardware network, but instead a virtual network connection because I had setup Hyper-V. I changed the connection to "Internal" and my connection is back up to 10-20M. Copying 500 pictures accross ......

If you are trying the new Visual Studio 2012 TFS Git source control and are trying to pull from master and get the error that "There are changes in the current working directory." You should add the ".gitignore" file the following:".gitattributes" and ".gitignore".Feb 26, 2013 Update -- Apparently my ignorance caught up with me. You should not ignore ......

I forgot this: You can run this on $().ready(function() { SetHeaderSortLinks('aGrid', 'Get()'); }); In the global js include. function SetHeaderSortLinks(parent, functionToCall) { //Clear existing links $("#" + parent + " th").unbind("onclick"); $("#" + parent + " th").bind("click", function () { var sortOn = $(this)[0].sort; if (currentSortField == ......

I read a blog post a few months back about client binding your Asp.Net GridView. It was Called Bind Gridview using Jquery. I took it to heart and now I'm using it, except it doesn't handle client sorting (paging is another story). Granted this has some room for improvement and my js isn't the best… Base Page method with the grid view: protected void ......

After hosting my domains with Godaddy for a few years, I was tired of the extra charge for private registration. I found that Hover offers it free and a few months back, I switched one of my domains. Wow! Godaddy really made that hard: When I authorized the transfer, Godaddy immediately stopped resolving DNS lookups even before domain propagation completed—this ......

If you are using SubSonic, don't name your column "CreatedBy." It appears to be a bad name… Now if I could figure out how to do a left outer join with multiple join criteria.

Not complaining, just making a note for myself (and others).

I've been listening to the StackOverflow podcasts recently—not as polished as some. Still, I enjoy the content. During episode #12, Jeff complained about the lack of specific criticism. My main point of disagreement is with his need to re-invent the wheel. Specifically, when he said he wanted to rewrite the login functionality for the stackoverflow ......

Friday we deployed a major milestone, albeit 3 years late. We finally deployed our main application in .Net 2.0. Years and years of requests to allow us to do so and another project requesting it did the trick. So, after 427 builds, we sent the deployment package to the group that manages the servers. The deployment is split into 3 archives: 1) the ......

My team recently upgraded our web application to Asp.Net 2.0 from Asp.Net 1.1. Yesterday was the first deployment since the upgrade. Overall, the conversion went well. But an odd thing happened during the mandated Vulnerability Assessment that is required before the application go live. I received an email that said "A high risk 'Blind SQL Injection' ......

I use Subversion (1.4.5.25188) via Apache (2.2.6.0). I use CruiseControl.Net (1.0.1.1277) as our build server. I setup Subversion in a non-standard manner. And, it could account for the problem. All the users who access Subversion, do so via a domain login. That is except for the build user. I setup the build user as a local account on both the Subversion ......

I was just reading Jeff Atwood's "The F5 Key Is Not a Build Process." I find it interesting that the build process seems to be the end of it. The reality is that you also have to have a document telling people how to access all the code and what they need to have installed on their computer. It could be a page or 20 pages, but if you don't document ......

I received an error that said, "Line 1: Syntax Error." I kept debugging the error, but I didn't think the document definition was causing the error. In the end, I found another developer on the project, had an onmouseover event getting set into a div on via the innerhtml property that included something like onmouseover='somefunction(s... ......

Outlook needs a filter by alias sent to. If someone sends you an email and I guess BCC's you, outlooks filters won't see a "to" in the filter and it won't allow the mail to be sent to a folder. But, if you look at the headers, you can see the destination address.

Is anybody else experiencing problems with the Security Update for VS2005SP1? I have installed it twice to no avail. It says it completed successfully, and then promptly requests I install it again. I've checked the obvious stuff like the Event Log for any errors and there aren't any.

Can't decide if I want company…

I forgot to post this from a while ago…but I still want to rant… I read this post and couldn't help think about my flight experience last week. My family, which includes three kids between 4 and 8, were flying to Newark via AirTran. We arrived at the airport slightly late (but not that late); we didn't think to ask the TSA to let us skip to the head ......
