South Africa one of only two countries in the world where a person or company that developed a software application does not own it

This has completely convinced me that this country is one of the strangest countries in the world. I actually cannot believe it, but I suppose we don’t really have a choice as to what the courts decide.

All I can say in all open blunt honestly if WTF?!

India announces plans to develop robot army

http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/india-announces-plans-to-develop-robot-army/

LOL! This has got to be one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Then again, this has been heading our way for a while now but our massive technological growth. but still, I can just imagine a droid armies yelling commands in a bad indian accent. Wonder if these robots will give us discount on their samoosas?

Symantec sues Microsoft

Very interesting article, I would to see who comes out of this smelling likes roses!

I think this will all come down to paperwork and how much paper work was kept in regards to these allegations. And if the courts rule in Symantec's favour, what the delay on Vista will be.

IIS7 Revealed

http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2006/05/16/iis7-revealed.html

IIS 7 has now been unveiled, most interesting is that it'll be for the "next gen" operating systems. Seems only Vista and upward is supported. My opinion, that is a stupid move because people are going to wait a while before upgrading because all the MS OS's are always so buggy when first released.

ASP.Net 2 button PostBackUrl

I still learning a lot about ASP.Net 2 and I discovered a cool new feature that I don't remember 1.1 having.

a new property for the asp:Button is the PostBackUrl property. You set to which url this button must post to and so when you click the button it goes straight to the next page. No more Response.Redirect! Then once you arrive at your new page you can access the previous page's controls via the Request.Form collection.

Limpopo Health go Proudly Australian

http://www.itweb.co.za/sections/computing/2006/0605171040.asp?S=IT%20in%20Healthcare&A=ITH&O=FPLEAD

The government keeps going on about giving South African companies chances and being "Proudly South African" and now this? What a laugh! I'll just quote the bottom paragraph for those of you that don't want to read the whole article. Basically Limpopo Health services just awarded a R261m Hospital IT Tender to a BEE Consortium lead by Australian-listed e-health company IBA Health. How THE HELL DO SOUTH AFRICAN'S BENEFIT FROM USING AUSTRALIANS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

"Software contract

Meanwhile, Australian-listed e-health company IBA Health claims it is part of the winning consortium. In a statement issued on 1 May, IBA Health said: “The award of this agreement is valued at over $9.64 million to IBA and affirms IBA's position as the leading supplier of health information technology in SA.” IBA claims this follows an “extensive tender evaluation” and that it was awarded the agreement over 10 international and local software competitors."

Classic ASP Connection Strings

http://articles.webforumz.com/asp/database-connection-strings

if anyone is looking for tons of examples for Classic ASP connection strings check the above link. Many of us still have to maintain classic apps for a short time and this could be quiet helpful.

liverpool win on penalties

yes, yes, I know a win is a win but what a lame way to win it. Two very good saves by Reina but come on, having West Ham win it would've have been the cherry on top for all us Chelsea supporters. Oh well.

master pages = classic asp include

I'm not sure what i was expecting but I got asked to look into Master Pages today for the first time. Looking into something new is always so exciting but to be honest I'm actually a bit disappointed.

I know this wasn't really possible in .Net1.1 as far as I know of but Master pages to me are like the Includes statement of classic asp. I can't really say it's similar to frames but it feels that way. The one nice thing though is the nested Master Pages, that'll probably become quiet useful. Maybe I should just get over myself but i was just expecting so much more, maybe I just haven't scratched the surface yet.

we'll soon see.......

The type or namespace name could not be found

man this is driving me mad!

added a new page to my project and am using it exactly the same as my other pages except this page cannot see the same namespaces that all my other pages can see. Now I've googled this to death and all everyone says is add a reference to the dll and but this is ASP.Net 2 so there IS NO DLL!!!

during design time is sees the namespace no problem but the moment I try access this page access a network it throws its hissy fit. I'll post if I find anything.

and yes, I have destroyed the page and recreated it!

Installing sql session state for ASP.Net 2

I battled with this for a while so maybe it'll help someone else at some stage.

I needed to setup SQL Session State version2 for ASP.Net 2, so after much battling I finally found the aspnet_regsql.exe file under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and after running the tool it STILL didn't work.

I kept getting the
"Please install ASP.NET Session State SQL Server version 2.0 or above" error. so after another 20min i got it right.

you need to open your command prompt and navigate to the above mentioned directory then execute the file with several paramters.

execute the following

aspnet_regsql -S serverName -U userName -P password -ssAdd

that will then setup version 2 of the sqlsession state server for ASP.Net 2
