Many web hosting companies only allow ASP.NET applications to run under medium trust. This has been a major drawback for Cuyahoga because it required full trust (or better: some libraries require full trust). This has already caused some nasty surprises when people deployed their site to the host to find out it would not run. [...]

I’m sure everybody who builds web applications uses grids to display data. There is nothing wrong with that per se, but you might not realize that you’re increasing the customers expectations to an unreachable level: Yes, all very nice and well, but can’t you make that thing work like Excel? My first thought is always [...]

This post briefly describes a solution to mix ASP.NET WebForms and MVC in one project. You can download a sample project that might be more useful than my ramblings.

In this role I’ve learned to appreciate some contributed modules that I didn’t really know that well, but appeared to be very valuable. Today, I’d like to [...]

Warning: this post doesn’t only contain the usual software dev stuff, but also some serious guitar-geekiness. This morning, I was shocked when I found out how much the development of my pedalboard went through exactly the same stages as the way I’m building ASP.NET web applications. First let’s see where I’m coming from: In the [...]

Lots of companies are positioning SharePoint as their preferred platform for everything that has to do with the web, both intranet and public facing websites. Now out-of-the-box, SharePoint delivers excellent value, but when building custom functionality or public facing sites, there are some serious issues. My biggest gripes are: The whole development experience is awful. [...]

Today, I moved this blog from SubText to WordPress. All was going fine with SubText, but WordPress is so much more sophisticated these days, I couldn’t resist it . Since the server is running IIS6 and not the usual LAMP stack, I was prepared for some struggling, but it was pretty easy. I started with [...]

The post about paging in ASP.NET MVC still gets many hits, but the demo was created with ASP.NET MVC preview 5, so therefore I upgraded the demo to ASP.NET MVC Beta. I also removed a little bug that occurred when paging an already filtered list. You can download the updated demo here.
