Designer Developer Workflow with WPF

Here’s a great Channel9 screencast that just came out demo’ing how the typical interaction between developer and designer will work with Visual Studio and Expression Interactive Designer. One thing about EID that I love which is demo’d here is the fact that control behavior is live in EID. That is, any behavior you’ve built into your controls will function, […]

Silent Breaking-Change to FormsAuthentication::RedirectFromLoginPage

Heads up on a silent breaking change that I just came across with FormsAuthentication’s RedirectFromLoginPage method when migrating from ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0. The exact message you get will be (with top of callstack): System.Web.HttpException: The return URL specified for request redirection is invalid.  at System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.GetReturnUrl(Boolean useDefaultIfAbsent)  at System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(String userName, Boolean createPersistentCookie, String strCookiePath)  at System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(String userName, […]

No App_[Local|Global]Resources support in Web Application Projects?

I did some research back in the beta days of VS2005 for upgrading our existing site to take advantage of a bunch of different features that we had either written custom code or used third party code for. One of those features was localization/globalization. I had spent a bunch of time writing custom resourcing support into our existing […]

Can’t instrument project targets for ASP.NET performance session?

I just posted this question to the forums, but I figured I’d post here as well in case anybody subscribers out there know the answer and also for future edification: I create a new ASP.NET performance session and point it at my web application directory (i.e. not using IIS). Now, I can sucessfully get performance data […]
