If you still use Visual Studio .NET 2003 (I still do for some older .NET 1.1 projects) you may experience following situation:
Fortunately there is a quick fix to that.

If you’re using Web Deployment project and during build getting errror “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error from ASPNETCOMPILER, check the BIN folder of the project you’re compiling. Chances are, there’re some *.compiled files there. Remove them and your deployment will go thru.
Infragistics WebDialogWindow control is a flexible and lightweight AJAX dialog control designed to look and feel like standard Windows dialogs. One of its neat features – it allows to load the content from an external URL. In that case it renders the content inside of an IFRAME, which is all good and well, but leaves an ugly default iframe border.
Browsers like FireFox can remediate this by simple setting the “frameborder” attribute of the content pane IFRAME element:
function showDialog() {
var oDialog = $find('xwdwMyDialog')
var oDialogContent = oDialog.get_contentPane();
var oDialogIFrame = oDialogContent.get_iframe();
// Removing IFRAME border in FireFox
oDialogIFrame.setAttribute('frameborder', '0');
oDialog.show();
}
but unfortunatelly this doesn’t work in IE. Continue reading →
When I moved this blog from former IIS to this Apache hosting I wanted to enable “pretty” permalink structure /year/month/day/topic, knowing that mod-rewrite was installed and active. But when I did that – every link resulted in 404 “Not Found” error. Trying to find solution I in WordPress support forums or even googling it was to no avail.
Finally I realised that when WordPress was enabling new link structure, for some reason it wasn’t writting rewrite rules into .htacess file. So, I put them there manually:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . / [L]
And it worked.
I was burning a 4 gig DVD-R and stepped away for a while. When I came back I found that Vista on my laptop nonchalantly went into a sleep mode, not really caring that the burning was only half-done. I think this is the end of my Vista experiments. Next stop – Windows 7 (hopefully it won’t bring the house down).
I was working with Infragistics WebHtmlEditor control, and on client side it was being moved around by appendChild, removeChild DOM methods. All worked fine until I tried it over SSL connection. Immediatly removeChild method cause Secure/Unsecure waring. Digging a bit I found that it was an IE bug. According to Microsoft this problem occurs if the Web page script calls the removeChild method to delete a DIV element that references a background image, and they suggest either to set outerHTML of the DIV to an emtpy string (which I think is dumb if you still need to use element you removed), but their second solution to move background-image declaration into an external CSS class actually works. In reality this problem occurs not only with DIVs but with any HTML element with background image in its inline style. In my case WebHtmlEditor rendered itself as an HTML table and its cells had background-image specified. The control itself didn’t have corresponding images set, but its UseDefaultStyles property was set to BackrgoundImages – which resulted in rendered styles with background images. To apply modified Microsoft’s solution I set this property to None, then segregated background image into a separate class:
.HTML_EDITOR {
background-image: URL(ig_common/images/htmleditor/backimagerow.gif)
}
and used that class in Toolbar and TabStrip CSSClass properties. Worked like a charm.
