After installing Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 on my laptop, I ran into the well-known message “The project location is not trusted”. I thought all I had to do was follow the instructions in this MSDN article to get my development share to be trusted again, but this doesn’t seem to work.
I already tried adding the new child group under the Internet_Zone in stead of the LocalIntranet_Zone, and using the complete server name and the server IP address in stead of the name of the server. All of these steps did not solve the message popping up…
I’m open to any suggestions, ‘cause this problem is beginning to drive me nuts.
When installing Windows Vista on a MacBook Pro, the default driver for the Wireless Network Adapter doesn’t function properly. To get the Wireless Network Adapter to work, first install the Boot Camp Services by inserting your OS X DVD and running the setup. Next you need to install the Boot Camp 2.1 update. You can download that one by running Apple Software Update, which is installed as part of the Boot Camp Services. And that’s where things go wrong… The Boot Camp update installation downloads properly, but doesn’t complete.
The reason the update doesn’t install properly? The Boot Camp 2.1 update is American only and therefore expects to find a key in the registry with the decimal value 1033 (American English). Since the Windows version we installed was Dutch, the update couldn’t complete.
How to fix this issue
To fix this problem, follow the steps below:
- Open the registry editor
- Search for the ProductName key with the value ‘Boot Camp Services’ (for the Dutch version, this was ‘Boot Camp-Services’), located under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer and then some…
- Double click the Language key in that same location to open it
- Change the value to 409 (Hex) or 1033 (Decimal)
- Reboot the machine and install the Boot Camp update
- That’s it!
Hope this helps.
Thanks to our friends at Microsoft (and their great BizSpark program) I will be able to attend DevDays ‘09! We won tickets because we updated our company profile and added projects at the Discover Metro site. Normally attending this kind of event is not available to young startups like ours, but now it is!
I’ll be seeing you @ The Hague next week :)
I just read this great article by Mark Voermans: Expression Web SuperPreview: Look how your site renders in various Browsers
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been waiting for this for a long, LONG time. I’ll give it a go this afternoon and let you know what I think…
Update
This first beta version only allows you to preview your site in different versions of Internet Explorer. We will have to wait for the full feature set until the final release of this tool…
Taken from the SuperPreview site:
This free download will allow you to compare renderings of IE6 with whatever other version of IE you have installed on your machine. If you have installed IE8, you’ll be able to compare IE6, IE8 and IE8 running in IE7 compatibility mode, side-by-side.
Of course, twitter has been around for quite a while. The popularity of the service is booming, because it is becoming more and more mainstream now. I myself joined somewhere in the end of 2007, when it was still underground… :p
Do you (actively) use twitter? And if so, what’s your account, do you use it on your desktop / laptop / mobile device … and which client(s) do you use?

The article about our company that was placed in two Dutch magazines can now be found on our website (and of course, this one is in Dutch).
I just read an interesting article on Bertrand Le Roy's blog. The most important information:
It so happens that the menu control is making a bad assumption on what the default value for z-index should be. We debated this at length with the IE team, but it became clear as we did so that they were right and that we were wrong. We had to fix that.
So here it is, the patch for menu is out and you can apply it to build IE8-compatible ASP.NET WebForms sites…

When trying to pass some command line arguments to a Console Application, I got the following message: "The current project settings specify that the project will be debugged with specific security permissions. In this mode, command line arguments will not be passed to the executable. Do you want to continue debugging anyway?" (see image)
I didn’t run in to this earlier, but yesterday it suddenly popped up. But I did change my zone security, so that might be of some influence… Apparently, this is because of the Debug in Zone settings you can find at the Security tab of your project properties. Deselecting the ‘Enable ClickOnce Security Settings’ checkbox will solve this ‘problem’ for you.

I’m reinstalling my laptop after I got it back from a repair… EMPTY (grrr).
What tools shouldn’t I forget when preparing this laptop to be my development machine? Already have Visual Studio, SQL Management Studio, Office and the Windows Live tools installed… (and of course I have all kinds of tools at hand from my server like DebugView, Reflector and whatnot)
When you use a MasterPage to define the design of your website, you might come across the problem that there is no body element in a web content form. This can be a problem when you want to add an onload script to a specific page. You could of course add the onload on the MasterPage, but you might not want the script to run on every page. There are several workarounds to fix this ‘problem’. The one I used last week was to do the following:
- Add the runat=”server” tag on the body in the MasterPage
- Add a unique ID on the body in the MasterPage
- Add a method to the MasterPage to set the onload for the body. This might look a bit like this (of course you can also have the script for the load be a parameter for the method):
1: internal void SetBodyLoad()
2: {
3: MasterPageBody.Attributes.Add("onLoad", "initialize()");
4: }
- Add this line of code in the Page_Load of the page you want to have the onload:
1: ((MasterPageName)Master).SetBodyLoad();
This worked for me! Hope this helps.
I know it has been a while since my last post, but I’m about to resurface! I’ve played in a musical the entire month of December and (because of that) we were busy getting our company up and running again in the new year. So now I’ll be developing more and I’ll probably have more things to blog about. So keep posted to see more stuff over here…
For now, here are some interesting articles about Microsoft’s Surface:
I've had my current installation for a few months now, and I've used it for development purposes. Today I suddenly encountered an error when trying to add items to the Toolbox. Visual Studio 2008 simply disappeared... No errors, no warnings, it just went away.
After some searching and a lot of trying, I found that deinstalling the PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008 did the trick. I'm guessing that the installation of a service pack (for either Visual Studio or .NET Framework) changed something somewhere, making Visual Studio disappear into thin air when having PowerCommands installed and clicking the 'Choose items' context menuitem. Anyway: the problem is gone now...!
According to some forumposts I read reinstalling the PowerCommands after this problem was solved does not cause the problem to reappear. I haven't come to testing that yet 'cause I'm working on a deadline here... (Why do these things always happen when you have a deadline...?)
Hope this helps.
Scott Guthrie posted about a cool new ASP.NET server control: Chart. It can be used for free with ASP.NET 3.5 to enable rich browser-based charting scenarios.

Our company has (the first draft of) a new website online. We're still working on the content, but the design is now online. Check it out @ www.mediagarde.nl (Dutch).
