Messenger 7.5 Connection Troubleshooter

16 de Junho de 2006 – 12:57

Greetings,

Since you can’t immediately login, remember that you can try logging into the Web Messenger,
at least until you can restore your normal Messenger functionality:
http://webmessenger.msn.com

However, here are some suggestions you should check/try if you haven’t already.

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly — double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.
2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the
correct case (uppercase or lowercase).
3. Change your password @ https://login.passport.com/ChangePW.srf to
something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again.
4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it’s possible
that Messenger doesn’t have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you
upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall
if this is the case.
5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger — try
restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an
installed firewall, to verify that it isn’t causing a problem (even if it is disabled).
6. Clear your IE cache and cookies — open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that’s complete click the
Delete Cookies button.
7. Check your IE Security settings — open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that “Check
for server certificate revocation” is unchecked. Also verify that ‘Use SSL 2.0′ and Use SSL
3.0’ is checked, then click OK.
8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK
and do the same for the following:
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

ASP.Net 2.0

Final official version of .NET Framework 2.0 is available for download!

14 de Junho de 2006 – 12:01
Hey, I’m happy to say that the .NET Framework 2.0 is finally finished, and the official RTM build (2.0.50727.42) is available for download on the Microsoft Download Center. Check out this location for a full list of .NET Framework 2.0 products that are available. Here are some of the most commonly requested downloads:

A couple of important notes here:

  1. The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK requires that you install the .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable first, so if you want the SDK make sure to download both
  2. The .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable is a language-neutral package. Setup UI will appear in the language of the OS you are running setup on (more setup packaging details are here if you are interested). The resources inside of the package are English only. There will be language packs available soon that contain non-English product resources.
  3. The .NET Framework 2.0 SDK is English only. Non-English languages will be available soon.

“Page cannot be found” when browsing aspx pages in Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0

14 de Junho de 2006 – 11:32

logo asp.netYou may get a Page cannot be found message when you browse aspx pages in a Windows Server 2003 environment.

That is because in Windows 2003, all the webservice extensions are “Prohibited” by default to ensure security.

To resolve this, do the following steps:

1. From your Run command, type inetmgr and press enter.
2. Expand the appropriate nodes in the IIS to locate the “Webservice Extensions” Node
3. Click on the same.
4. You will find a list of “prohibited” extensions in the right.
5. Click on ASP.NET and “allow” it

That should resolve this issue.

This article applies for Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0 environment.

Server.Transfer Vs. Response.Redirect

12 de Maio de 2006 – 15:53

If you read a lot of industry magazines and ASP.NET code samples, you may find that, although the majority use Response.Redirect to send the user to another page, some seem to prefer the rather mysterious-sounding Server.Transfer. So, what’s the difference?

Well, Response.Redirect simply sends a message down to the browser, telling it to move to another page. So, you may run code like: 

Response.Redirect("WebForm2.aspx")

or

Response.Redirect("http://www.karlmoore.com/")

to send the user to another page.

Server.Transfer is similar in that it sends the user to another page with a statement such as Server.Transfer(“WebForm2.aspx”). However, the statement has a number of distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Firstly, transferring to another page using Server.Transfer conserves server resources. Instead of telling the browser to redirect, it simply changes the “focus” on the Web server and transfers the request. This means you don’t get quite as many HTTP requests coming through, which therefore eases the pressure on your Web server and makes your applications run faster.

But watch out: because the “transfer” process can work on only those sites running on the server, you can’t use Server.Transfer to send the user to an external site. Only Response.Redirect can do that.

Secondly, Server.Transfer maintains the original URL in the browser. This can really help streamline data entry techniques, although it may make for confusion when debugging.

That’s not all: The Server.Transfer method also has a second parameter—”preserveForm”. If you set this to True, using a statement such as Server.Transfer(“WebForm2.aspx”, True), the existing query string and any form variables will still be available to the page you are transferring to.

For example, if your WebForm1.aspx has a TextBox control called TextBox1 and you transferred to WebForm2.aspx with the preserveForm parameter set to True, you’d be able to retrieve the value of the original page TextBox control by referencing Request.Form(“TextBox1”).

This technique is great for wizard-style input forms split over multiple pages. But there’s another thing you’ll want to watch out for when using the preserveForm parameter. ASP.NET has a bug whereby, in certain situations, an error will occur when attempting to transfer the form and query string values. You’ll find this documented at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=kb;en-us;Q316920.

The unofficial solution is to set the enableViewStateMac property to True on the page you’ll be transferring to, then set it back to False. This records that you want a definitive False value for this property and resolves the bug.

So, in brief: Response.Redirect simply tells the browser to visit another page. Server.Transfer helps reduce server requests, keeps the URL the same and, with a little bug-bashing, allows you to transfer the query string and form variables.

Top Tip: Don’t confuse Server.Transfer with Server.Execute, which executes the page and returns the results. It was useful in the past, but, with ASP.NET, it’s been replaced with fresher methods of development. Ignore it.

ECLIPSE

Eclipse LogoWhat is Eclipse?

Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on providing a vendor-neutral open development platform and application frameworks for building software. The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation formed to advance the creation, evolution, promotion, and support of the Eclipse Platform and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services.

As it says in the Purposes section of the Foundation’s Bylaws:

The purpose of Eclipse Foundation Inc.,(the “Eclipse Foundation”), is to advance the creation, evolution, promotion, and support of the Eclipse Platform and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services.

Eclipse has formed an independent open eco-system around royalty-free technology and a universal platform for tools integration. Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor environment. Eclipse provides a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and utilize software tools, saving time and money. By collaborating and exploiting core integration technology, tool producers can leverage platform reuse and concentrate on core competencies to create new development technology. The Eclipse Platform is written in the Java language and comes with extensive plug-in construction toolkits and examples. It has already been deployed on a range of development workstations including Linux, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, QNX, Mac OS X and Windows based systems. A full description of the Eclipse community and white papers documenting the design and use of the Eclipse Platform are available at http://www.eclipse.org.

You can learn more about the structure and mission of the Eclipse Foundation by reading the formal documents that establish how the foundation operates, and by reading the press release announcing the creation of the independent organization.

History of Eclipse

Industry leaders Borland, IBM, MERANT, QNX Software Systems, Rational Software, Red Hat, SuSE, TogetherSoft and Webgain formed the initial eclipse.org Board of Stewards in November 2001. By the end of 2003, this initial consortium had grown to over 80 members.

On Feb 2, 2004 the Eclipse Board of Stewards announced Eclipse’s reorganization into a not-for-profit corporation. Originally a consortium that formed when IBM released the Eclipse Platform into Open Source, Eclipse became an independent body that will drive the platform’s evolution to benefit the providers of software development offerings and end-users. All technology and source code provided to and developed by this fast-growing community is made available royalty-free via the Eclipse Public License.

With the change to an independent not-for-profit corporation, a full-time Eclipse management organization has been established to engage with commercial developers and consumers, academic and research institutions, standards bodies, tool interoperability groups and individual developers, plus coordinate the open source projects. To maintain a reliable and accessible development roadmap, a set of councils (Requirements, Architecture and Planning) will guide the development done by Eclipse Open Source projects. With the support of over 115 member companies, Eclipse already hosts 9 major Open Source projects that include a total of over 50 subprojects.

To oversee and staff this new management organization, Eclipse has established a Board of Directors drawn from four classes of membership: Strategic Developers, Strategic Consumers, Add-in Providers and Open Source project leaders.

Developers and Strategic Consumers hold seats on this Board, as do representatives elected by Add-in Providers and Open Source project leaders. Strategic Developers, Strategic Consumers and Add-in Providers contribute annual dues. The founding Strategic Developers and Strategic Consumers are Ericsson, HP, IBM, Intel, MontaVista Software, QNX, SAP and Serena Software. In August 2004, Actuate joined the Eclipse Board as a Strategic Developer.

In the Eclipse Platform, code access and use is controlled through the Eclipse Public License, which allows individuals to create derivative works with worldwide re-distribution rights that are royalty free. Those who use the Eclipse Platform may also want to use one or more of the official Eclipse logos found on our artwork page.
