| PNG files don't show in IE7 with Vista |
|
| This has baffled me for a while now but I know a fix. Basically I think this happens after you install firefox, and is something to do with the UAC because if you turn UAC IE7 off it works ok and you can see PNG files again. I wouldn't recommend that as it defies the point of Vista UAC, instead run IE7 as administrator and all will work ok; I expect Microsoft will come up with a fix in an update soon enough. |

| Override 'Option Compare Text' with a binary comparison |
|
When we use 'Option Compare Text' at the top of the page we are saying that we want text comparisons to be case insensitive. But what if we need to override that setting in a particular situation to do a binary (case sensitive) comparison? Well we can use this method...
Public Function BinaryEquality(ByVal String1 As String, _
ByVal String2 As String) As Boolean
BinaryEquality = (StrComp(String1, String2, _
vbBinaryCompare) = 0)
End Function |

| Regular expression which selects all characters invalid in a mangled href |
|
Insert this into a global class (not global.asax) for your website to reference all characters that are invalid in a mangled href...
Protected Shared reHRefCharacters As Regex = _
New Regex("[^a-zA-Z0-9/]+") |

Public Shared Function TrimLength(ByVal Str As String, _
ByVal MaxLength As Integer) As String
If Str.Length > MaxLength Then
TrimLength = Str.Substring(0, MaxLength)
Else
TrimLength = Str

| Tracking TODO's in Visual Studio 2005 |
|
Start by going to the menu bar and selecting 'View' then 'Task List', when the windows appears, notice you can select a drop down box that has two options: 'User Tasks' by default and then comments. If you select 'comments', it will list all comments, the location and line number where you have written the comment prefixed with TODO:
So just write...
' TODO: Test
in any document and have a look for yourself! |
