  • Response.Cookies.Add not working correctly

    Posted on 16/10/2012

    I came across a strange problem today when attempting to add a Forms Authentication cookie to the Response during user login. The cookie contained a serialised user profile class which contained quite a lot of data about the user, and even though there were no errors, the cookie was never added to the browser.

  • Silverlight breakpoints not being hit when Debugging

    Posted on 05/11/2011

    I'm currently working on my first Silverlight (4) application and overall, I'm finding it reasonably straight forward to get my head around.

As long as you have internet access, it’s usually not a problem to find the correct drivers and get everything working correctly. In my case however, my Dell Wireless 1450 Wireless USB Adapter was not detected by Windows 7. I obviously needed to sort this out first, but I could not find any Windows 7 drivers on the Dell website. How annoying.

  • Emailing Documents as Attachments from Sharepoint 2010

    Posted on 27/09/2011

    One of the most obvious features which is lacking from Sharepoint is the ability to email documents as attachments directly from Sharepoint, instead of just a hyperlink pointing to the selected document. There is a reason why this isn't an out-of-the-box feature, but fortunately it's easy to add if you need to.
