(Mike McIntyre) This article provides the steps to manually create a stand-alone DataTable in a DataSet with the Visual Studio 2005 DataSet Designer. This article is a precursor to an article that will explain how to use a DataSet and an XML file to implement a simple database and how to perform CRU

(Bipin Joshi) Few months back I wrote an article titled URL Rewriting in ASP.NET that illustrates how URL rewriting can be accomplished via code. ASP.NET 2.0 doesn’t change the situation too much but has added some handy configuration options for URL mapping. In URL mapping a URL1 is mapped with URL

(Abey George Peter) Lets try to figure out what’s inside PE and how its helps CLR to run our dlls. If you compile your source code, the compiler translates your source code into Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is a CPU-independent set of instructions that can be efficiently converted

These tools are often expensive and sometimes overkill for what amounts to answering the simple question: Can the applications reach the database or not? I’ve encountered numerous clients who would not spend a

(Mike McIntyre) This article discusses how to print a multiple page image and provides sample code in a Visual Studio 2005 solution. The process involves calculating an array of rectangles where each rectangle defines a page size chunk of the image. The rectangles are then used to extract a page siz

(Eric Smith) When I’m writing code for user controls that need to signal the host page when they’re done with some task, I define and use an event. I simply register for a custom event and run my code when the event occurs. This makes a clean interface between the user control and the page and makes
