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 poster, Rick van den Bosch... shame on you for using...
When roaming the MSDN forums for unanswered questions for me to answer, I come across a lot of questions about any of the following: Intellisense acting weird Intellisense not showing up at all Menu items that are all garbled up Missing buttons on toolbars Complete toolbars missing Keyboard shortcuts...
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 solution to this problem... First, let's...

There are several steps to creating a custom web service to be hosted in SharePoint. The MSDN library has a walkthrough on creating a custom web service .
