What Video Game Character Are You?
What Video Game Character Are You? I am a Defender-ship.I am a Defender-ship.

I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups.
(If I were not a Defender-ship you would be Pacman.)

Next to XSS is SSS - Same Site Scripting

Via Willem Odendaal I opend the following web site http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#frmget. It holds an interesting collection of bookmarklets (Javascript commands that can be saved as bookmarks so they can be applied to every page that is opend in your browser).

For example: "remove MaxLength" ... shows how important it is to use ASP.NET Validation Controls in your Web Applications.

.NET 2.0 Only 99.9% backwards compatible?

While re-writing a few WebServices for .NET 2.0 i ran across following:

...
public static void WaitProc(object state, bool timedOut)
{
   MyAsyncResult myAsyncResult = (MyAsyncResult)state;
   myAsyncResult.OriginalCallback.Invoke(myAsyncResult);
}
...

This compiles without any problems in Visual Studio .NET 2003 but makes the compiler scream (Invoke cannot be called directly on a delegate) untill you change the lines to the following:

...
public static void WaitProc(object state, bool timedOut)
{
   MyAsyncResult myAsyncResult = (MyAsyncResult)state;
   myAsyncResult.OriginalCallback(myAsyncResult);
}
...

Using IFused with the FCKEditor

Miroslaw Maslyk has sent this small tutorial on how to use iFused with the FCKEditor. Thank you very much Miro ;-)

1. Rename file FCKeditor\editor\dialog\fck_image.html to fck_image.aspx.

2. On the top this file (fck_image.aspx) add this code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Uploader"
 namespace="StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls"
 assembly="StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialog" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(Object source, EventArgs e)
{
    StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialogButton _u =
     new StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialogButton();
    _u.UploadDirectory = "~/images";
    _u.ReturnFunction = "SetUrl()";
    btnBrowse.Attributes["OnClick"] =
     "javascript:" + _u.JavascriptLink; }
</script>

3. Find btnBrowse input html tag , add runat="server" attribute and close tag (/>)

4. Replace in files FCKEditor\FCKeditor\editor\js\fckeditorcode_ie_2.js and fckeditorcode_gecko_2.js all fck_image.html sentence to fck_image.aspx
