I wrote WindowPlacementTool in December of 2000 to solve a problem I had after beginning to use Terminal Services/Remote Desktop regularly. I made WindowPlacementTool available internally in 2001. Last week someone asked about getting access the source

"You're gonna need a bigger boat." [A brief look at data storage requirements in today's world]

I've previously blogged about my data storage/backup strategy. Briefly, I've got one big drive in my home server that stores all the data my family cares about: mostly music, pictures, and videos (with a little bit of other stuff for good measure). To

A brief bit 'bout backups [My current backup strategy]

I've seen a few references to backup strategies on blogs and discussion lists lately and thought I'd write a bit about the strategy I recently decided on and implemented. Of course, everyone has their own approach to file management, their own comfort

When the GAC makes you gack (Part 2) [How something can be both IN and NOT IN the GAC at the same time]

In Part 1 we investigated a curious tool failure and discovered that it's possible for something to be both IN and NOT IN the GAC at the same time. The results of the investigation so far have been informative, but unrevealing. So let's try another approach...

When the GAC makes you gack (Part 1) [How something can be both IN and NOT IN the GAC at the same time]

I recently had occasion to use a particular tool for the first time and found that it didn't work on my machine. This was weird, because nobody else seemed to have any problems running the same tool on their machines. So I set out to determine what was

An image is now worth two thousand HTML tags [How to: Use ASP.NET's IHttpHandler interface to display a custom image]

In a previous post , I referred to some MSDN sample code and outlined the process of creating an ASP.NET page to display an image instead of HTML. As is often the case, the relevant sample code was written to demonstrate a concept rather than to be "production-ready".

Start using using today! [A bit about the IDisposable interface and the using statement]

There's plenty to say about the IDisposable interface and the using statement, but you probably don't have time to read it all (and I don't have time to write it all!), so I'm going to try to keep this short and simple. First, let's make sure we're all

An image is worth a thousand HTML tags [How to: Display a custom image with an ASP.NET web page]

Imagine that you want to generate a custom image for your web site and that the content of the image will be dynamic enough that it's not possible to create the images beforehand. (One example might be an image of a clock displaying the current time.)

ASP.Newbie [Learning ASP.NET for fun and profit]

My new group at Microsoft has me learning ASP.NET. While I'm no stranger to .NET (having coded in C# for a few years now), ASP.NET hasn't been something I've used before now. Sure, I've had a few ideas about simple web pages that seem like they could
