As most people know by now: Microsft has launched it’s new search provider bing . I thought I’d give it a try, but when I clicked the link “Add bing to your browser”,FireFox told me it wasn’t supported. Luckily it’s not that hard to add it anyway, due to the OpenSearchDescription specification. Just download this file: And put in your FireFox/searchplugins folder (Program Files\Mozilla FireFox\searchplugins by default on Windows). And voilá, bing is now added to your searchbox: Oh, and thanks to

First of, what is this FCKEditor ? Well, it's an HTML Text Editor. It's free and open source, cross browser, extensible and there are probably quite a few more buzzwords applicable. Oh... and it's also the default HTML Text Editor provided with DotNetNuke . Fck Editor is soon to be replaced by CK Editor but I'll stick with Fck for now. CK will work mostly the same though. First, you'll need to download Fck Editor . Unzip the downloaded file to see what's in there. You'll

Yes! I received the email I was hoping for. April 1st is still a bit odd to receive the mail, but after a few checks to see if it's real I realized I really have received the MVP Award for the 2nd time now. Man, I'm happy

Alright, now that was one hell of a mystery. For some odd reason my MultiSelectListBox didn't show the selected items like it should. The case was very simple, and easily reproducible too. Start of in VS2008 with a new MVC Web Application, open up the HomeController class and change it's code to this (only italic code was added): public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { ViewData[ "Message" ] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!" ; var dic = new Dictionary<

For starters, there's probably dozens of places on the web already, with a solution for this very same issue, but here's mine anyway. The issue is this: when creating a website in ASP.NET using LINQ to SQL, you've probably guessed it would be a good idea to put the connectionstring in web.config. Especially since there's a special section for them there. However, when you create a LINQ to SQL Databaclasses (.dbml) file and drag your tables on it, it's automatically configured

Alright, some time has passed since my previous post on this matter . And I must say, I'm not getting more enthusiastic on ASP.NET MVC. Not that it's not good or anything, it just solves some problems I wasn't experiencing (more on that here ). The main issue I'm running into is that my pages are somewhat dynamic. That means, based on several conditions, the form displays in one of several ways (for example: based on a property of an object a field displays as either a label or a

Don't you love it when you have just a tiny task and get surprised by something you never heard of? I don't but still it happens... So, I need to add a column to a table in my local SQL2008 database. Open up SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the table, right click, choose Design Table, add the column and click the diskette icon (how long will that still be around?). Easy as that, except that I get punched in the face by this message: Never heard of that. I'm pretty sure the table

Ever since late 2007 (I think ) I've been reading quite a bit on the ASP.NET MVC framework. Even did some playing around here and there but never got to use it on a project. Until last week that is. I'm now working on a website that's built entirely on the ASP.NET MVC framework. And of course, working on a project things are just a tad different from playing around a bit. So, what is it that makes working with the MVC Framework so much different from Webforms? Well, let's just put

Didn't you love the days back when you could just open up the properties tab for your DropDownList in ASP.NET and set the AutoPostBack Property to True? You could even write code in your codebehind class to handle the event properly. Cool, right? But these are the days of the ASP.NET MVC framework, so everything's different now. Well, of course I'm being a bit sarcastic here and there are a lot of advantages too to the MVC Framework, but still it requires more work to achieve things-that
