MSDN Magazine's available as handy .chm files
I heard it before but never looked at it: the MSDN magazines are also available as handy .chm files!
Ohad Israeli posted a comment on this blog post about problems reading .chm files due to security restrictions, with a link to the collection of .chm files for all available MSDN magazine issues.

WSS+SP2 + .NET 2.0 + Unghosted Page --> Problem!?
UPDATE: This issue is confirmed by Microsoft. See this weblog entry for more information.
I have WS SP2 + .Net 2.0 framework, with WSS running on .Net 2.0. Everything works fine. Until I have a unghosted page... when I try to add a web part using the web interface I get the following exception:
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.
I have the enableEventValidation set to false, as configured using the command:
stsadm.exe –o upgrade –forceupgrade –url http://URLOftheVirtualServer
I tried to add this setting to other web.config's and to the machine.config, but to no avail.
Seems like the SharePoint safe mode parser (executed on unghosted apsx pages) is behaving different from the normal ASP.NET page rendere.
When I modify the pages using FrontPage there is no problem.
Any ideas? I would hate to go back to the 1.1 FrameWork, because now I can write my web parts using SonOfSmartPart and the full functionality of the ASP.NET 2.0 framework.
I know I shouldn't unghost pages, but I'm doing a lot of Data View web parts.

Chm files and 404 Errors
I must say I was amazed that when I downloaded the latest Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Administrators Guide I only got 404 errors on every page in the contents. I downloaded the file another time, to no avail. I gave up and thought: well, the file must be corrupted. But no: this is one more step by Microsoft to provide us ultimate security!
I stumbled across this blog entry by Mark Kruger that provided the solution:
1. Right-click the CHM file, and then click Properties. 2. Click Unblock. 3. Double-click the .chm file to open the file. -
