Silverlight Surface

Created: Sep 13, 2007
It’s been a while since I first heard about Microsoft® Silverlight™ (formerly known as Windows Presentation Foundation / Everywhere or rather WPF/E). I read a good amount of documentation, downloaded Beta and even Alpha versions and played around with it trying to understand the way it works. Then, one day I found an awesome example showing pictures in a way I haven’t seen before in a web environment. That was it … I had to include it on my website.

ASP.NET session state store provider for MySql

Created: Jul 10, 2007
As I mentioned earlier here, my website ultimately is .NET ready . Since I have quite a number of photos online that are off the record, I wanted to ‘protect’ them using forms authentication (within the former web hosting package developed in PHP I was using .htaccess and .htpassword files in order to protect complete directories). So, from my professional experience, I know that saving data in session is feasible. However, the problem comes with a clustered environment that you usually run into in production environments.

Finally, I got it managed to move my domain to a different hosting provider. I was looking for an affordable while spacious provider for quite some time.

ASP.NET/IIS hangs - Visual Studio stops responding when you try to create/access an ASP.NET project

Created: Jul 04, 2007
I just found a solution to the issue in the subject. I had the problem a while ago and the only resolution was to re-install my machine. Today I had the same issue again after installing (what I figured out) an UMTS software on my machine. ASP.NET and IIS worked just fine before, but after installing the UMTS software this morning I had the same problems again. I googled and fortunately found this post.

RsKeyMgmt: German culture (no response)

Created: Jul 04, 2007
One thing that quite frequently happened to me: I worked with MS SQL Server Reporting Services for quite a while, due to some reason (that I cannot assign right now) while accessing the ReportManager I get the following error message “Failed to decrypt symmetric key”. The suggestion now is to run RsKeyMgmt to delete all encrypted content and to run RsConfig to re-generate a new key. However, when running RsKeyMgmt on my machine running a German version of Windows XP I get the following: After I type in J and click on ENTER nothing happens.
