Validating Windows Forms Child Controls in .Net 2.0 There is an interesting new overloaded method in the Form class in .Net 2.0 : ValidateChildren() and ValidateChildren(ValidationConstraints validationConstraints) From the MSDN web site: .NET Framework Class Library   ContainerControl.ValidateChildren Method ()   Note: This method is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0. Causes all of the child controls within a control that support validation to validate their data. Return Value true if all of the children validated successfully; otherwise, false. Remarks ValidateChildren will descend a control's hierarchy and examine each control to see if it supports validation. If the control can be selected by the user and its CausesValidation property is true, ValidateChildren will cause the Validating event to occur. If any of the controls cancel the Validating event, this method will return false; otherwise, it will return true. If a control is bound to a data source, and the Validating event occurs, it will cause the control to push its current data back to the data source. Calling ValidateChildren is equivalent to calling ValidateChildren with a ValidationConstraints of None. ValidationConstraints Members   Member name Description   Enabled Validates child controls whose Enabled property is set to true.    ImmediateChildren Validates child controls that are directly hosted within the container. Does not validate any of the children of these children. For example, if you have a Form that contains a custom UserControl, and the UserControl contains a Button, using ImmediateChildren will cause the Validating event of the UserControl to occur, but not the Validating event of the Button.     None Validates all child controls, and all children of these child controls, regardless of their property settings.     Selectable Validates child controls that can be selected.    TabStop Validates child controls that have a TabStop value set, which means that the user can navigate to the control using the TAB key.     Visible Validates child controls whose Visible property is set to true.    9:03:20 AM    comment []

Enumerating all available public methods in referenced and current assembly To enumerate all the methods available in a designtime component(e.g. UITypeEditor), start from the IServiceProvider passed to the component. Get the available types. ITypeDiscoveryService service = (ITypeDiscoveryService)ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITypeDiscoveryService)); ICollection icolletion = service.GetTypes(typeof(object), true); For each type in the collection get the public methods type.GetMethods(BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | (BindingFlags.Public | (BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Instance)) If you want to eliminate abstract methods, methods with void as return type, and property get and setters, apply the following check. !methodInfo.ReturnType.Equals(typeof(void)) && (((methodInfo.GetBaseDefinition().DeclaringType != typeof(object)) & !methodInfo.IsSpecialName) && !methodInfo.IsAbstract) Based on .Net 2.0   7:54:20 AM    comment []

BoundField DataFormatString attribute not being applied.   Version: ASP.net 2.0 RTM I wasted a few minutes figuring out this one. You have a BoundField object bound to a field of type DateTime with a DataFormatString attribute but the format string is not being applied. <asp:BoundField DataField="DateOfBirth" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" /> Instead, the field appears to be formatted using its ToString()method like so: Output: 10/31/2005 7:00:54 PM   Cause To prevent cross site scripting attacks, the field value is HtmlEncoded. The HtmlEncoding occurs before applying the DataFormatString making the format string have no effect.   Resolution In this case (ie. when using a field of type DateTime), set HtmlEncode to false. <asp:BoundField DataField="DateOfBirth" DataFormatString="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" HtmlEncode="false"/>   Output: 10/31/2005 I am not sure why the ASP.net team decided against HtmlEncoding the string after applying the DataFormatString. 3:26:35 PM    comment []

USB Disks don't recieve drive letter when mounted in Windows 2003 USB Disks don't seem to automaticly get a drive letter in Windows 2003. Also when checking the Disk Manager it states that the disk format is RAW instead of NTFS. The solution is to active automatic disk mounting by: From a command prompt run:   diskpart Once at the DISKPART> prompt type: automount enable Then type:    exit That enables automounting of disk drives, including USB drives. 11:10:42 AM    comment []

SSL / https Virtual Servers and SharePoint Central Administration problem A problem I recently encountered was that I couldn't adjust the virtual server settings via SharePoint Central Admin of a virtual server using SSL (https). After some googling it turned out t o be a bug (which apperantly isn't fixed in SP 2 of WSS). So I'll always got  the same error: The server instance specified was not found. Please specify the server's address and port. The solution/workaround is pretty simple. Lets say the url looks like this: http://mycentraladminurl:007/SPSecuritySettings.aspx?VirtualServer=https%3a%2f%2fmyvirtualserver. Notice the https in the VirtualServer parameter. Just change this  to http (drop the s) and everything will work. And by the way here is the link to WSS SP2 2:23:50 PM    comment []
