While writing a custom stsadm command for SharePoint (more on that in a future post) and having to do something based on the command the user typed in, I used ToLower( CultureInfo.InvariantCulture ) on the command string to be able to check without the...
One of the posts that is being read quite frequently over here is HOWTO: Encode a password using MD5 in C# (or: howto calculate the MD5 hash for a string) . One of the (many) reactions to that post was from one Simucal, stating: Also, to the original...
The situation I talked about in my previous post had one very big issue: LINQ sometimes just is too dynamic... ;) The fact that I changed the value for the Ranking property for each SpecificObject that got matched, made the primary LINQ query have a different...
While developing an algorithm to match preferences to possibilities, I had to sort a generic list of a specific object type (SpecificObject). The first x objects would be matched, the rest would be excluded because of the number of available places. To...

Some of my (Dutch!) Avanade colleagues recently released 'Entlib Extensions To WSSF' to CodePlex. Quite a cool addition to the already rich Enterprise Library. Entlib Extensions to WSSF (Web Service Software Factory) is an extension that enables...
When you dynamically generate a LinkButton in code that will be placed inside an UpdatePanel, you'll experience that the Click event for the LinkButton results in a full postback in stead of the UpdatePanel being triggered. There's a rather simpel...
The error I'm getting when setting up an OleDB connection to an Access database* via the Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2008 is 'Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0'. The screen doesn't...
A week ago I had a nice page that was hosted in SharePoint and, among others, contained an updatepanel with a dropdownlist in it. Everything worked, and all was well. Because our testers had found some issues we had delivered two newer versions to our...
