I wanted to be able to wrap all method calls from any of our spring.net created objects for the purpose of some sort of performance logging. This could have been done at least two different ways Using a Spring.Aop.Framework.AutoProxy.ObjectNameAutoProxyCreator and specifying a wildcard expression to wrap advice around certain objects that match the expression.

I recently had a client who wanted to setup an online store, they had several hundred products to list, and wanted to have something up as quickly as possible. I had read quite a lot of good reviews about nopCommerce, an open source .NET shopping cart product built with MVC. I decided to give it [...]
I was looking for a consistent way to be able to know the url a user was coming from when loading a page. I came across the Request.UrlReferrer property of the page, and thought "hey, this is exactly what I need!", but that wasn't the case. It was working in some instances, and was coming up [...]
Just another plug for a very helpful tool that I've been using for testing SMTP code locally.

The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous [...]
Recently I wanted a way to recursively iterate through a control, and its children and perform a certain operation on all controls of a specific type. I did a quick search on Google for this, but surprisingly wasn't able to come up with much. I know someone has definitely done this, but I'm going to post [...]
This post will be short and sweet. What data type should you use to represent currencies in C#? - Decimal If you use double, you will end up with rounding errors on more precise numbers, and if you are writing applications that support multiple currencies, namely currencies that use very large numbers, such as the Indonesia [...]
Recently I came across an issue with IE and a web application that was being displayed within an iframe on another parent page. When I would load the parent page, I would get a "page cannot be displayed error". To make a long story short, my web application needed to set a cookie, and because it [...]
Recently I ran into an issue, that by the looks of Google, is affecting many others too. I wanted to be able to allow users to select an upload path, using the standard Asp.Net fileUpload control, and maintain that control's path through postbacks, so I could perform some server side validation. As far as I can [...]
