This article applies to IIS6, but the concept applies to almost any public website.

I’ve added a new page called Developer Resources. It’s going to be a repository of all of the blogs I read and podcasts I listen to. It’s a work in progress, but most of the podcasts I listen to regularly are up there now. Feel free to post suggestions! Most everything there will be programming/IT related.

A few days ago I upgraded to TortoiseSVN 1.7.0. Apparently the format for the SVN files changed so existing working directories needed to be “upgraded”. With existing (old) working directories you’ll notice that you can’t perform your normal operations (commit, update, etc.). Instead, you’ll have a single context menu entry for “SVN Upgrade Working Copy”. [...]

A little known feature in Kentico is the ability to have “Wildcard URL’s”. Wildcard URL’s are essentially the ability to route multiple URL’s to the same page.

In this article I’ll show you how to create a special type of BizForm that will allow each user to edit their specific form data over and over. When a user returns to a page that has the BizForm on it, their data will be automatically loaded from the BizForm table. This is a simple and easy way to store per user data, without mucking with the System Tables which aren’t intended to store this type of data. You also retain the benefits that a BizForm has over a System Table (A view of the data, Notifications, attachments, etc.)[...]
