(This is a long blog post but each thought runs into each other). Ok, I was a bit rash in my previous blog post. I got a pretty good suggestion from James that I could get stoned :-). Too late becaise I have already started with the medical aid broker as a non-smoker... and as a side note, I've never had a 'joint' despite all the ...

Why is it that when a piece of code that you have issued to the public, for free, is attributed as a bug? I mean, let's look at a comment that I got in my e-mail box for a simple article that demonstrates on how to keep scroll back position over post backs. Thank you very much for this control, there's only one bug when I use a DataGrid + ...

Right! Bringing out the big guns! Jeff blogged about why the LoginView of ASP.NET Whidbey “sucks”. I do not think that he has any experience building custom server controls.

Anyway, expect an add-on article to Scott's one, from me which will be published ASP Alliance. My article will deal ...

Announcement (or advice, whatever way you take it) to all newbies: (but do not take it seriously) If you have any questions, no matter how dumb they might sound, ask them now at big forums or newsgroups. The helpfulness will only come once every year. And here is an extra bargain -- abuse the 'helpers' for helping you! Fine print: ...

A while ago, I posted a blog post on how to do the server controls into collections. That blog post was not only a problematic one regarding the VS.NET designer but you would have noticed that those server controls are not given the full 'life' in the page cycle as noted by Auter (he does not know it there but he will know in this blog post ...

In the February month, there was a huge onslaught of blog posts at weblogs.asp.net about the under-the-hood advantages that MVP's “get” privately. I am not an MVP myself but I do know a few around the place -- some of them are good friends of mine or I encounter them through article writing or at the www.asp.net ...
