Wondering what happens inside those .NET classes?????????

Do you program using Whidbey???? or even VS.NET 2003????
I do, with Whidbey beta 1.
Anyway somebody pointed me to a product available freely. I, the inquisitive one downloaded it.
Executed it.
Looked good.
But what about the functionality???
It loaded up some dlls i had seen in .NET.. But what the heck he had used System.Reflection just to get the functions, something I had been doing long ago.
Was about to close it when i realised that the methods mentioned were links. As usual the curious me decided to explore.
Assuming that it will take me to msdn help for that method i clicked.
And lo and behold it showed me, I am serious, the full code in C#. Wow, there's something I can't do. Imagine knowing the IL for .NET and using it to build a full fledged disassembler. I seriously recommended dotnet Reflector found at Lutz Roeder's Programming.NET C# VB CLR WinFX for a really serious programmer. Found at the site are various other superb tools.

Theming in Whidbey using CSS

Continuing my blog titled Themes in Whidbey . I would like to mention some great points I did find out today about Whidbey featrures. How many times have you got sick of developing Sites which have themes???? I mean every page u create has to have, maybe in ASP, something like <link href="<%=Session["ThemeFile"]%>.css"/> I have been doing since a long time. Do mention if you have a simpler method of defining a variable CSS for your page!!! Whidbey simplifies this further. Now in ASP.NET, all you will have to do is Create Themes directory, if not aldready present, Create a directory for each theme required, maybe Black, Gray,etc. Dump your CSS files into this directory. in Page_PreInit method define the Theme as Page.Theme="<Theme directory Name>". Further can be made into Page.Theme=(string)Session["ThemeType"] and viola, your theme management is take care by ASP.NET When you want to change the theme, the...

My first problem with AJAX

I was using Callback (AJAX) to retrieve a page i had developed . Lets start all over, I was using AJAX to retrieve a part of the contents of a web page. Cool, simple, it downloaded without a pain, then I innerHTMLed it to a span tag. Worked fine, successful, clapped my hands etc.etc. Clicked on the button which had seemed to appear out of nowhere. And then, it all fell apart. The feared exclamatory symbol appeared on the status bar.... And for the newbies, thats an indication of a JavaScript error in IE. Of course, as usual i was all curses at my IE window......Anyway to make a long story short (i AM quite sleepy u know). the scripts which i seemed to be innerHTMLing to the span tag are not executed. And what i mean is anything between the script tags which have been innerHTMLed to that span tag are not executed. Of course i can see a ray of hope in the distance. I mean the distance till tomorrow morning. And just for kicks, check out a hi-fundoo flash file titled EPIC 2004 . And for...
