The difference between static and non static...

Ajax.Net CascadingDropDown Control Extender Demo
It took me quite a bit of messing around to get these cascading dropdown controls to work properly in Visual Web Developer 2010 in a flexible way.
Basically what I have created here is an out of the box website that will demo them for you giving you full flexibility to modify them. (I have commented the code a lot to help you out as much as possible.)
I have also created a work around for the...

Folks, when using Windows Easy Transfer make sure you don’t transfer the file to the hard drive that you intend on placing your backup data onto.
In other words, if you backed up your data onto an external hard drive leave it there while you extract the data back.

Microsoft Security Essentials
No more AVG for me or NOD32 security center. I came across Microsoft’s own virus, malware and spyware protection that they supply for free!

Just installed it and from the looks of things it looks like the real deal.

Windows Easy Transfer
I’m upgrading my pc in work from XP Pro to Win7 Ultimate. The whole thing to do though is a bit of a nightmare with data.

All you gotta do then is re-install your applications...

ASP.NET value to decimal place
The most simplest of problems came up this morning. How do you round off a value to a certain decimal place?

float i = 0.94963; i.ToString("F1");
F1 is for one decimal place (0.9), F2 is for two (0.94)… Ya you get the idea. ;)
