Today I needed to configure IIS 7 to host an old classic ASP application. I was facing a permissions problem when i tried to access an Access DB (which persisted even after I”ve given full control to the directory where the ASP application was installed). I was able to solve this problem after giving permissions […]

Yep, that”s what i expected to happen but it didn”t…I think that the main ajax client file (MicrosoftAjax.js) should be separated into several files. even though saying that having only a single file might give you a quicker download time (which might be true if you want to get everything), i don”t buy it. for […]

Lets illustrate the usage of this property with a simple page that changes the content of […]

When you install the code, you already have the option to say that you want to debug the server side code. Let”s say you didn”t choose that option: now what? how do you debug through the AJAX server side code? Well, you just need to change some settings in the Visual Studio IDE. After opening […]

Most of you already know my opinion about this control: it”s good, but if you”re really into AJAX, you should use a client based approach. Now back to the main topic of this post. What will happen when the following page runs: <form id=”form1″ runat=”server”> <asp:ScriptManager runat=”server” id=”manager” /> <asp:Multiview id=”m” runat=”server” ActiveViewIndex=”0″> <asp:View runat=”server” id=”v1″> […]

you can still use it at your own risk. By default, if you set the conformance level to debug, you”ll get full postbacks in your pages. why? well, because during the Init event of the page, the PageRequestManager server class initializes the SupportsPartialRendering property of its owner (whic, btw, is the ScriptManager control) by checking […]

Thanks to António Cruz for giving me the answer to my previous question. Btw, he”s quoted Jason Olgon on a comment in my PT blog (since it”s in english, you can read the justification for the name on the PT blog). Thanks again Antonio (I”ll sleep better now that I Know 😉 ,,)

Remember those old movies where there was someone bragging and saying something like “hey, look! no Hands!” while riding a bike (or something like that)? Well, I”m going to do something similar :,,) Look at me: only one hand (sorry, but it looks like Vista”s voice recognition isn”t still working out as it should and, […]

One of the advantages of beeing an MVP is that you get a free MSDN subscription (thanks MS!:),,) Today I”ve just noticed that the Longhorn server is now called Windows Longhorn IDx Enterprise edition. IDx? what does IDx stands for? If it”s a beta, why did they drop the CTP, beta, RC designations that have been used […]
