David Ebbo: Register your HTTP modules at runtime without config

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/15

On the one hand it is good to be able to do things as early in the application startup phase as possible.

On the other hand: What’s next? A PrePreApplicationStartMethod that allows you to fiddle with the PreApplicationStartMethod behaviour?

If Your Visual Studio 2005 Solutions Open Slowly, Check WebsiteCache | Thomas F. Abraham – On Technology

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/15

If you use Visual Studio 2005 for some old projects that have not yet been converted, and they open very slowly: read this post on If Your Visual Studio Solutions Open Slowly Check WebsiteCache by Thomas F. Abraham.

Emptying your WebsiteCache directory solves the issue: it had about 30-thousand empty directories in it.

The location depends on your Windows version:

  • Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and below:
    “%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache”
  • Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and up:
    “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache”

This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 2008 and up.

The #reflector licensing debacle

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/06

Earlier this week, Red Gate announced that the new Reflector version 7 would cost USD 35, as of March 2011, and the current free version 6.6 will expire on May 30th, 2011.

That caused a lot of stir, on their forum, twitter, reddit and a lot of other places. Even an old thread at StackOverflow got a new boost. It seems Red Gate did not read Social media judo: How to turn a fight into a brand-building moment.

Here is a summary of the past, present and future of things happening around reflector, including some workarounds and alternative products.

First a bit of history.

Lutz Roeder over the years developed .NET Reflector as a free tool. A few hightlights: Read the rest of this entry »

Windows Azure platform 30 day pass – not only for USA people

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/03

A lot of places mentioned that Microsoft is offering a Windows Azure platform 30 day pass for USA people.

But visiting the Windows Azure platform 30 day pass link includes an extensive country list.

So it looks like non USA people can make use of it too.

No need to elaborate:

Reading code is way much harder than writing code. So please write readable code.
