  • All Errors, All The Time: app_offline.htm, “The resource cannot be found”, and non-stop 404’s

    This post — http://dotnet.org.za/armand/archive/2005/07/03/38757.aspx — saved me from spontaneous, self-inflicted baldness. I’ve been updating www.benday.com over the last few days and for about 4 hours this afternoon it was totally dead.  Any aspx page that I tried to execute would come up as “404 – Resource cannot be found” even though the file was definitely…

  • Fantastic post on majoring/not majoring in CS

    There’s a great post (and an even better discussion thread) by Janelle Godfrey titled If I Could Turn Back Time: Why I Wish I had Studied Computer Science/IT/Technology in College. The gist of the post is that Janelle is hearing/seeing massive declines in enrollments in college CS degrees and is wondering why this is happenning.…

  • Problem with VS2005 Data-Driven Unit Test with Excel 2007

    If you haven’t checked out data-driven unit tests yet, you should.  They’re great for those cases where you want to run your unit tests using a bunch of different data.  The logic of your unit test doesn’t change — same calls, same asserts — but the data input and the expected return values change.  When…

  • Speaking at VSLive Orlando 2007

  • Run tests from your TFS Team Build without a test list (.vsmdi) with code coverage

    I got around to trying Buck Hodges’ power toy that lets you run unit tests in your Team Foundation Server (TFS) Team Build without having to use a test list (aka “.vsmdi” file).  It works well but getting code coverage to run with it was kind of a trick.  There’s a post on forums.microsoft.com that…

  • "MSBUILD : Publish Failed. Test Type not installed on the server for test type"

    Last week I stopped getting code coverage as part of the Team Build (aka TFS MSBuild) in my project.  I started digging in and found the following error popping up in my build output file: MSBUILD : warning : Publish Failed. Test Type not installed on the server for test type: “Microsoft.Samples.VisualStudio.TestTools.HostAdapters.VsIde.RunConfigData”. This error ate…

  • Making FlowLayoutPanel Scroll Using Arrow Keys, Page Up, Page Down

    How do you make the FlowLayoutPanel scroll using arrow keys, page up, page down?  I’ll start with the answers and work backwards: Subscribe to the PreviewKeyDown event and don’t forget to call control.PerformLayout(). Now the problem: If you haven’t checked out the NYTimes Reader application, you’re totally missing out.  It’s this fantastic .NET 3 / WPF…
