Have you ever downloaded an evaluation version of some suite of web controls or or anything like that? If yes, have you ever get an email or a phone call from the company?

<rant>I really hate this! I can live with receiving an email, but receiving a phone call less than 4 hours after downloading the evaluation, is something special. Maybe ,from a marketing point of view, it’s a good thing, but not from mine.</rant>

And the award is : Patrick Dussud’s Blog. Very informative! This is the kind of thing I have overlooked when learning .NET and was very important (at least to impress colleague). And who is the most appropriate to explain the birth of the CLR than the Lead Architect of the CLR (Common Language Runtime) himself.

Lastly I have got to play a lot with AJAX (ATLAS) and have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and the ease of use of the product. Really easy to use and “a lot of support” for it. For every problem there is a solution and those seem to be resolved fast by the community.

The first really big error so far, is the ‘Sys’ is undefined one. There seems to have a problem with the anonymous user being disable for the web site (in particular the script folder). Well, i’m sure that I wont allow anonymous users to access critical data, so adding a new location in the Web.Config for this specific folder with solve the problem.

Here is the lines to add :

<location path=”ScriptResource.axd”>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users=”*”/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

There can be also the fact that the resource handler is not set, so adding the following line in the Web.Config, should also solve the problem :

<add verb=”GET” path=”ScriptResource.axd” type=”Microsoft.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler” validate=”false”/>

Ever wanted to learn something new ? I have installed today the IDE that came with Eiffel (see link) and have been really surprised. And the fact that is considered an academic language make it really interesting. I will keep you informed of my progress.
