Passionate about .net

If only …

A application menu like the one you can see here is something I wish for every day at work. It would really make life easier :-) Just wondering in what language it was programmed because I really wonder how they got it to compile

Great video about Silverlight

I had some free time on my hands at home and I was looking for some information about SilverLight. This session demonstrates building a rich interactive application using Silverlight. We cover how to use Microsoft Visual Studio to create applications, how to create UI using XAML markup and code, how to build a custom control, how to retrieve data from a Web service, and how to manipulate data with XML and LINQ.

This video is about the following features:

  • Http Networking + XML
  • Web Services
  • LINQ
  • HTML Integration
  • Mac Debugging (really nice one !!!)

Video downloads:
WMV | Zune | iPod | PSP | MPEG-4 | 3GP

Installing Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 volume 3 on vista

For those of you that tried it might have noticed some error saying:

“Cannot find %sysdrive%\inetpub\wwwroot” 

You can solve this problem by changing a registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp

Change the value from: %systemdrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
to: c:\inetpub\wwwroot

and your installation will work. At least mine did ;-)

Easy way to setup SSL for testing on IIS

If you want to test SSL on IIS 6.0 you need to go through the hassle of creating a certificate and configuring IIS to allow SSL connections.

You can avoid all this with a simple execution of a small program called SelfSSL. SelfSSL is a program that creates and installs a local certificate and configures IIS for SSL.

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Download the IIS 6.0 Resource toolkit from Microsoft MSDN Downloads.
  2. Install the toolkit.
  3. Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd -> [ENTER])
  4. Go to the following path: C:\Program Files\IIS Resources\SelfSSL
  5. Execute the program SelfSSL with the following command: SelfSSL.exe /T
    The /T option adds the self-signed certificate to “Trusted Certificates”
    list. The local browser will trust the self-signed certificate
    if this flag is specified.

Happy SSL-ing ;-)
