New SqlDataSource
Aug 23rd
I want an SqlDataSource that automatically generates the command queries having as parameters some high-level stuff like the table name, some filter conditions etc. It’s 2007 and I am concatenating strings for an SQL query.
Just as I get some spare time I’ll write it.

ASP.NET rants
Aug 22nd
One thing I hate about SqlDataSource + GridView / DetailsView is the lack of partial updates, why the hell do I need to maintain the values for all the fields in a record so they all get updated, it’s a nonsense. Presuming you have user roles, guess what, I can’t hide the fields users aren’t supposed to see as they get NULL’ed in the database when the record is updated

Nokia Fashion Jewelry Collection
Nokia Digital Pen
Simply write on paper with this pen and it will save an image of what you’ve written, image that you can get it on your mobile via Bluetooth.
Response.Redirect ThreadAbortException
Aug 21st
Response.Redirect, in an attempt to mimic the old ASP behavior of stopping execution of the current page at the moment it is reached, raises a ThreadAbortException that is then catched by ASP.NET that performs the redirection. This is certainly overkill, just pass false as the second parameter and then be careful to exit the current function.
