A recent request from a past client brought out an old piece of code that I always liked. This client had an ASP3 site that they used to manage another public site, and they had a requirement to do mail merges from this admin site. The previous site data management tool was an […]
While creating the next installment of .NET Development for Domino Developers, I ran across I real stickler of an issue that kept me up at night longer than I wanted to be. It is this simple: when you are using a SqlDataSource object in .NET and you are using an ODBC provider, all of the […]
A quick post on a headache….
So we are setting up our test environment that will have Domino providing web services from behind IIS using the WAS plugin. The thinking is that we can provide secure services with no additional logins. Since the Lotus documentation on this configuration is lacking, I had used some […]
So I posted about a Microsoft .NET limitation that does not allow a users NTLM credentials to go beyond a single “hop”. This is the hop from the browser to the IIS server that works like a charm so the user never sees an authentication prompt. If they are logged into the same domain as […]
-So service oriented architecture is a big thing?
-So a benefit of .NET is integrated windows authentication?
-So why did the .NET team architect the .NET framework so that I cannot easily pass the users NTLM credentials to a remote web service?
I have no idea, but it is really annoying. You use their framework, […]
My first dealings with .NET back with 1.0 and 1.1 frameworks, made me feel that it was just Microsoft’s attempt to catch up with what J2EE had become.

My current employment has me working for an organization with some bad experiences with Java (write once, twice, and again…) and have decided that for web development projects we will use […]
So after two weeks of learning Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and converting basic RPC methods to real SOAP web services, I got a chance to load up Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2003 and create some basic web apps, and I have only one thing to say: holy shit is it easy!!
It came at a good […]
File this into the cateogry of useless information that might come in handy some day. What is needed is a table with the latitude and longitude of every zip code. This information can be bought from numerous companies (google is your friend), but rumor has it that the census bureau, and/or the US […]
I am sure there is an entire army of techies out there who could give me a thousand reasons why I should hate IE for not supporting this or that technology, but I am writing this because I am sick of IE being too tolerant with my code!! That’s right, IE is too tolerant […]
