I am doing some work at present where I need to debug into webparts hosted in a MOSS 2007 server. Never an easy set of debugging to get right. To try to ease the process I wrote a WinForm test application that just calls the webpart method with test parameters...
I tried to install Visual Studio Beta 2 from an ISO today using the Virtual CD Rom tool . This mounted the ISO fine as drive Z: but when I ran the setup.exe I got an error that it could not load the SITSetup.dll, even though this was in the ISO. I copied...
Some time ago I upgraded my Orange mobile to an M700. It's a very nice phone indeed, and the ability to be able to use TomTom 6 on it as well saves me having to varry around yet another electronic device. One thing about it did however annoy me - there...
After posting yesterday about useful tools for development I stumbled across another little gem of a utility. IE7Pro is much more of a usability-enhancing tool but it has a wonderfully handy tool nestling within - Save Current Tab As Image. If you need...
I spent a while knocking my head against a problem with a SharePoint server farm that's worth posting about. It's also worth a big hats-off to our Technical Support Coordinator at Microsoft Partner Support who dredged up the article that finally pointed...

I posted in the past about all the problems I had with my overheating Dell 5150, and with the problems trying to Vista Beta s working on it. Well an update on both.... After putting new thermal grease on the CPU heatskin it never overheated again With...
I had posted on problems with the nVidia Raid on our SunFire servers. Well I think I now have the root cause of the problems: not the Sun hardware, the nVidia RAID, or Windows 64 bit drivers. All the problems we had were when we used mirrored pairs of...
Today I rebuilt a PC with new drives and all seemed OK, but after 15 minutes or so it kept stopping (no nice shutdown), irrespective of what the PC was doing. I even swapped back the old disks all to no avail, hence I was stumped for a while. The problem...
