This is my last post in this blog. As I come to the end of my stint with this great company, I would close out this blog. Thanks to all the visitors, and thanks to the company for giving me the chance to giving vent my random thoughts in a platform like MSDN Blogs. My new address in blogosphere would be @ Windows Live Spaces . Thanks again, and so long! P.S.

Now, if you are using XmlDataSource without an ID, after upgrading the solution to ASP.NET 3.5, this might throw an exception - "When caching is enabled for the XmlDataSource that is not in the pages control tree it requires a UniqueID that is unique throughout the application." This is due to the absence of the UniqueID (which is read-only, but my experiment shows that setting the ID handles the same), which is used as...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/sayanghosh/archive/2008/09/09/s-not-in-the-page-when-caching-is-enabled-for-the-xmldatasource-that-is-control-tree-it-requires-a-uniqueid-that-is-unique-throughout-the-application-use-an-id-for-xmldatasource.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8936054" width="1" height="1">sayanghhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/sayangh.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/sayanghosh/archive/2008/09/09/free-sql-server-2008-online-trainings.aspx2008-09-09T07:52:00Z2008-09-09T07:52:00ZGet some cool SQL 2008 trainings here - http://sqlserver2008jumpstart.microsofttraining.com/ Neat stuff!!...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/sayanghosh/archive/2008/09/09/free-sql-server-2008-online-trainings.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8935824" width="1" height="1">sayanghhttp://blogs.msdn.com/members/sayangh.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/sayanghosh/archive/2008/05/02/jeff-prosise-talks-silverlight-on-net-rocks.aspx2008-05-02T09:20:00Z2008-05-02T09:20:00ZIt doesn't get better than this ...
