Just wondering: will Silverlight 2.0 support indexing when it's out?
This is one of the things I've been thinking about in these last days. To be honest, I still see Flash only sites (feel free to add Silverlight to the list too) as more trouble than they're worth it. Even though some say they're more usable, I'd say that's nonsense. To be honest,... Read More...

How to see if a string contains another…

And it will work until you need to explicitly need to use a different StringComparison option than the one that is used by default. If like me, you know that Reflector is your friend, then you can just open... Read More...

In fact, I haven’t started developing real apps with it, so I’m starting this series to force me look at it since in my current job I’m no longer working with web apps. One of things you should keep in mind is that the... Read More...

Book review: Professional Community Server
[Disclaimer: I've received a free copy of this book] In the last week I've finished reading the Professional Community Server book. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy it.

The C# compiler is really smart, but…
I’m still not understanding why it won’t give me a warning when I create an internal class with a public method. Here’s an example: class MyInternalClass{    public void Test(){} //no compiler warning } Ok, at the end of the day, Test is really an “internal” method since the acessibility of... Read More...

Today we’re going to discuss url partitioning. What’s url partioning? Well, I’m sure that you agree with me when I say that one of the greatest things about the routing assembly is that we can define parameters (or placeholders) on routes ? Here’s an example that will surelly refresh your memory: http... Read More...
