Time Breakdown of Modern Web Design

After the fun and games we had with IE and sorting out an old CSS design for www.technikfloor.co.uk on Friday when I saw this pie chart I thought it was an excellent summary of a modern web designer’s life. Personally I feel my Teal coloured slice

Parsing Apache Log files

This is a useful Regex that Craig wrote today, it pulls out various info from an apache log file. privatestatic Regex __Regex =null; internalstatic Regex _Regex {...}{ get{...} { if (__Regex ==null) {...} { __Regex =new Regex(@"(?<remoteHost>[^\ ]+?)\ (?<remoteIdent>[^\ ]+?)\ (?<remoteUs"+@"er>[^\ ]+?)\ \[(?<requestTime>[^\]]+?)\]\ \"

String.Format and Input string was not in a correct format Error

I ran into (another) interesting error today when using String.Format1. I was getting the error message "Input string was not in a correct format.". In this instance I was calling the content from an XML file, the data was wrapped in CDATA tags so there shouldn'

IIf Issues

Sean Ronan (from Activepixels.co.uk) was asking me the other day why he was receiving a “Cannot convert ‘’ to DateTime” when writing: IIf(String.IsNullOrEmpty(DateOfBirth.Text), Nothing, CDate(DateOfBirth.Text)) Thanks to Doug Setzer from 27Seconds in pointing him in the right direction, unlike C#’s ability to

Page name conflicts

I know a fair few people have come across the error which, having a page called “Login.aspx” causes the error message “CS0108: 'ASP.login_aspx.Profile' hides inherited member 'Login.Profile'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended.” But I’ve found another when

ASP.Net 2.0 XHTML Valid? It is unless you want to use the W3C validator

Error Reporting and the Trace in ASP.Net 2.0 -Code Update

I've just had it pointed out to me (and quite rightly so) by Craig that my code for enabling the trace with Phil Winstanley's WebException was a touch wrong. I was assuming that the user was (correctly imho) running the application with the trace already disabled.

Phil Winstanley's Error Reporting and the Trace in ASP.Net 2.0

We've been using Phil Winstanley's ASP.Net WebException handler for a while now it's great (see http://weblogs.asp.net/plip/archive/2004/04/17/114984.aspx) the problem with it was that we couldn't get access to the Trace in ASP.

Custom 404 Error Pages

I made an interesting discovery this morning. A few weeks ago I was doing a little SEO on The Wargame Company (Devon) and thought I would look into utilising Google SiteMaps. After creating the XML file with the correct format it's just a matter of having Google approve
