Technorati Tags: ASP.NET When you deploy a WAP project, you don’t need to copy up any code-behind pages for .aspx pages or user controls (.ascx). However, I was stumped when recently I had an old WAP project that I was working on and needed to deploy some updates. I published it via the Build | Publish option in VS 2008 and then selected only to publish the minimum required: But I was getting errors during runtime stating that it could not find the code-behind page to default.aspx. Anyway, the problem was...
Technorati Tags: IIS,Visual Studio,ASP.NET I had an issue where we wanted to start including the 64-bit assemblies to our WAP project replacing the 32-bit references. I was getting errors during runtime stating that it could not find the 64-bit assemblies when trying to run the web site on my local Vista 64-bit PC. Yet if we added the 32-bit assemblies to the web project instead and then deployed to our 64-bit Server 2008 Development Server and then copied back over the 64-bit assemblies into the bin of our web project, the site ran fine. There is one little...
Technorati Tags: IIS,Visual Studio Today I was getting an annoying 404 (page not found) on any Application in IIS 7 I created. I was trying to run our .NET 3.5 web application project and I knew everything was setup right in terms of configuring the site in the IIS Manager.

Technorati Tags: Management I just love this one. These kind of statements really piss me off as a developer especially when I have a task or two I’m already working on. This has got to be one of the worst lazy ass one liners you can get from a manager these days in development. So here’s the story: You get a new request in straight up from a user (because unfortunately there is no proper ticketing system or any process in place at any time whatsoever). Boss asks “what’s the problem”. You explain shortly to your boss...
I’ve noticed lately a lot of new sites cropping up allowing developers to rate their employers. I say it’s about damn time. The state of IT and development shops is in pretty bad shape and money isn’t everything. If your boss is an ass or can’t even manage himself, your department is in chaos mode 24x7, there is no planning and just run & code, or you’re being scolded for things that are just crazy or made up then there’s a little more than just money that can ruin your job, career, and family life. Obviously...
