Disappearing events in Visual Studio 2003

Published by turlach under ASP.NET, Visual Studio, dotNet

Working in ASP.NET 1.1, I’ve been encountering a bug in VS2003 where event handlers are no longer allocated. e.g the “handles btnName.click” code disappears from the subroutine definition. One way to fix is to go back into the code and type the handler code, another to try re-clicking the control in the visual editor. I not the only one who has encountered this.

Blank slate for CSS

Published by turlach under css

Courtesy of a link on reddit here’s a file for resetting Css values to minimize the effect of browser default values. I’ve seen this idea before, probably from Eric Meyer but hadn’t bookmarked it. This example, reset.css, comes from Louis Rofrano.

Starting Up

Published by admin under Announcements

This is a programmers blog, a message board of sorts. Although it might contain some comments about what I’m  currently working on, it will mostly be a notice board for programming solutions. Often I find myself looking on Google for the answer to some conundrum, only to discover that the phrases I search for are not standard terminology. A post or two here will help bridge that gap for those that are repeating my errors

Every now and then I come across a great article that forces me to revise my thinking, to look at a problem in a new light or to consider some great new tool. This is where I’ll be posting my aides memoire.
