I am going to speak about Themes and Skins in ASP.NET 2.0 in our local .NET user's group (www.central-penn.net) on the third Tuesday of March (21st of March, that is). I have been looking forward to this for a long time. With my busy schedule recently, I have not had enough time to dig deeply into VS2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. And this would give me an excuse ......

Oh Yeah! It was Miguel Castro at our local user group meeting (www.central-penn.net), speaking about buildingWeb Controls. It was indeed an interesting session, with Miguel. He was really prepared and was really active. Most of the members in our group are either beginners or are getting into .NET. As Miguel told (or complained) that building web controls ......

Well, I have been developing web applications for about 6-7 years now. ADA compliancy struck my day to day life during the last project I worked, for Department of Public Welfare, called HCSIS (Home and Community Services Information System). It is one of the best projects I have worked on. I have a special place for this project in me, as it is an ......

Considering myself as a geek in .NET, I am moving in as a part of geekswithblog community. Eventually, I would be moving all my blog entries (at least the important ones) in here from my original and first blog repository. ......

One of my colleagues came to me with a problem: He wanted to make the click event of button in his form to be activated when anyone pressed ENTER key. I said it works by default and it needs no tweaking. To my surprise, he showed me that it is not.Then I went back to the form that I had developed and showed him that I did no extra coding to make it ......

Oh...Ya! I am frustrated!!! No, No, not with my boss :-) My home computer got some wild adwares, that is causing me not to open any applications! The x732e7800 error! &^@%#&^%@! I spend almost half of my Sunday trying to fix it... downloading some antivirus and antispyware stuff. One thing I downloaded and used was EWIDO Security Suite. It caught ......

I might sound too excited, but it is true. Every new project is a venture for me. I get always excited and motivated with every challenge; however small it be. Beginning next Monday, I would be on a new venture (:-)) with a different client. The role is as a Technical Architect Specialist. I think this would let me see the project(s) in a more mature ......

Well, I did not intend to term that as an ISSUE, but, it was for me. I used to work with DAAB well for some time. It was like heaven. When I installed MSEL (the Enterprise Library), the problems started crawling in. Well, 4guysfromrolla was my bible for installing and start working on the MSEL. I read through the highlighted area about the Instrumention ......

When I got my DELL computer on 2002 spring, it was the state-of-the-art machine. Now, no one would even take it for a donation. Well, that's how technology works, right? That's not the point of the post, though. This is the pain I took for installing VS2005 Beta into my machine. I recieved the BETA DVD from my local .NET User Group and also from Microsoft ......

Are they? The best practices for .NET tells us not to use Hungarian Notation. The books that should apply this ethics and relay this to the world are showing reluctance, it seems.

Just browse through one of your text books and see for yourselves....

He asked. And I said yes! With having immense experience as a visiting faculty in my TCS years, I knew (As Tommy Lee Jones says, “100 years back man KNEW that earth was flat!”) that it would be a piece of cake. I was wrong (again!). These friends of mine (2 others joined later) come from a very different background. Mainframes! So, the question ......

Code Camp is coming to Harrisburg. And the Central Penn .NET User Group is bringing it. Oh, I have been telling this to my friends for months! This is one of the wonderful things ever happened to the city. There were MSDN events for some time and it died again. I understand that MSDN events would not pull in the crowd akin to San Francisco..., but hey, ......
