Not having a computer science or mathematical background, I had a vague idea of bitwise operators, but never needed them for anything practical. Until now that is. I’m building a form with a CheckedListBox. This listbox contains items that can[…]

This morning I took the beta exams for 70-553 and 70-554 (71-* when they’re in beta). Both exams are pretty big, but I took it as the challenge to take both at the same time. Well, not exactly of course,[…]

This is a Dutch article I wrote on the use of symmetric and asymmetric encryption techniques in .NET. It’s not revolutionary, and probably you’ve seen numerous examples. But if you haven’t, you may also want to check out the sourcecode so[…]

Last week I heard someone saying that Tech-Ed Europe was about to be cancelled. I couldn’t believe it, with Tech-Ed Europe being around for over 10 years. But, it’s true! (beware: Dutch link). There will be a developers conference, but it’s[…]

Not so long ago I needed to write a little piece of code to allow some to recycle the application from within a web application. Ok, recycling the AppPool that would be running the web application sounded a bit silly,[…]

For the occasion of Tech-Ed Europe I’ve setup a separate weblog, in Dutch. Unfortunately, it’s very hard to keep up both weblogs while attending the conference. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with one weblog. But I’m going to give it[…]
