So I was reading up on Carl Franklin's blog and came upon this post regarding Windows Live Custom Domains (WLCD) and Google Apps. What are these services? They basically host your email server and all you have to do is change your MX entries of your domain to point to their servers (there are other services involved as well). So I listen to Carl and Scott Hanselman on Hanselminutes talk about these services. In a nutshell, Scott uses Google Apps and Carl was going to use Live so they can compare notes on it. Bottom line is Carl ended up with Google Apps...

For security reasons setting the text property of a TextBox of type passwords does absolutely nothing. Go ahead, give it a try. Add a TextBox to an ASP.NET page:
<asp:TextBox ID="tbPassword" runat="server" TextMode="Password" MaxLength="15" />
and on the code behind do this:
tbPassword.Text = "HelloWorld";
You will notice that when the page loads, the TextBox is empty. There are some cases where you really need to assign it. For example, I have a new user form with AJAX in it and every time I generate an asynch postback i loose the password text. Although the user never saw a postback. To solve the problem...
So I am writing an application with ASP.NET AJAX and using the update panel to update certain controls. So there I was creating the page without any AJAX and with normal postbacks and when I was finished I just added a script manager and an update panel and voila everything works wonderfully. So I told myself: "This is so easy to implement that there must be some side effects." Usually when something is very easy to implement and so generic efficiency is hurt. So I did a search on updatepanel efficiency and I came across 2 articles: Jeff Prosise's Update Panel Tips and...
If any of you are interested in a Drag and Drop library for Silverlight 1.0 RC, please visit Roberto's blog to read his article Silverlight Drag and Drop Javascript Class - RC. For all the spanish speaking people out there, he will translate the article into Spanish in the near future.
I met Roberto during the Tampa Code Camp and I attended his Silverlight 1.1 session. I must say it was very well explained and interesting. Out of all the Silverlight sessions i attended I liked his the best.
Happy Programming!
Hi everyone! I am in need of using a reporting control, but I'm not too sure in which direction to go. My experience with reporting controls are very minimal so I wouldn't know what to look for.
