I have been getting more phishing e-mail lately that points me to "bad" files on what would normally be "good" sites. Last week I got a message that pointed to index1.htm on a site. Index.htm was the valid home page and appeared to...

I read the article at http://redtape.msnbc.com/2008/08/almost-everyone.html about the "Forgot your password" link to reset your password as being a possible attack vector. I think they discussed the security issue quite well and also pointed...

Earlier this year I posted an article demonstrating how to use the SGEN.exe utility to generate a serialization assembly. The article identified how to create a custom MSBuild task by editing the project file (e.g., csproj). I've recently come to...

Being rather new to Vista this week, I was sorely disappointed to see the severely dumbed down defrag utility in Vista. A pathetic effort. Really! So after a few highly scientific Google searches, I settled on O&O Defrag and could not be happier....

There is no great secrete that I'm letting out of the bag but it is something that I never really had the need to stop and think about, it was just something that I took for granted. Maybe I thought that it worked by some form of magic, maybe I just...

I'm getting ready to do some serious MOSS 2007 architecture and development work. In the past, I've used Virtual PC 2007 to host a virtual development environment running a Windows server operating system, SQL Server, MOSS and Visual Studio all...

I've had an issue on two computers (my primary development machine and a virtual pc dev box) which I was finally able to solve today after many hours of frustrated searching and experimenting. Interestingly, this issue only affected my two machines...

Microsoft has been busy planning for PDC. Some important things that you may need to know. 1. The early bird discount ended yesterday so if you were counting on that to persuade your boss you need to come up with some other justification. The registration...

I upgraded my Visual Studio 2008 installation the other day to SP1 and everything went beautifully. One of the issues that Microsoft fixed centered around the naming of embedded binary resource files. Traditionally, binary resource files have an extension...
