Mathew Nolton Blog

I am in the process of putting together an article for how to write a relatively unique custom control. During its writing, I had to force a post back within some client-side javascript. It is a pretty handy piece of code so I thought I would share it with the world.

I finally upgraded to Visual Studio 1.1.

Except for the start page, the overall UI experience hasn't changed much. I am glad.

I wonder if the thread started by Josh Ledgard on GotDotNet looking for feedback had anything to do with the changes in version 1.1?.

We are using Oracle here where I am consulting. 1.1 seems to have better support for interacting with RDBMS objects. Maybe now I won't have to use TOAD.

Who out there has done much with BlogX on GotDotNet

I downloaded it and joined the group to contribute and it looks pretty cool. I wanted to get some peoples feedback. If you have something meaningful to say. Please comment.

The other day, I downloaded the Windows Media Player Fun Pack in order to see how this new blogger plug-in thing works. My subsequent post did not contain the music I was listening to ( not that it matters anyway ). So... I decided to read the instructions....I had media player 8 installed...I will never learn...Maybe this time it will work. Regardless of whether or not the blogger plug-in works, the new "Mini-Mode" ( if that's what it is called ) of Media Player 9 makes the download worthwhile. Maybe one of these days, I will have a meaningful post...until then...I will just ramble on.

Well, I saw Matrix Reloaded and I just purchased the new Star Trek Nemisis movie for my DVD collection. I really am a geek.

I'm off to see the Matrix Reloaded. Should be awesome.

I ran across this article in my search for setting focus to an individual field on page_load

I am going through the process of Uploading and Deleting Files on a remote webserver. When doing this I needed the ability to take a stream object and save it to a remote server. A bit different than the UploadFile() method on System.Net.WebClient.
