Now the feds are saying DON'T use IE. That should be a wake up call to the IE team. Hello are you guys going to come up with a more secure, better browser before the next decade???

Looks like Gmail is already in trouble in the sunshine state. Lawmakers are passing legislation to help protect consumers privacy. It's about time...

Whats up with MSDN Search???? [Whats up with MSDN Search????]

I did a search for "data grid" on MSDN and this is what I got:

What is up with that? I find the quickest way to search MSDN is to go to google and put in my query and it will search MSDN, the MSDN search tool is pathetic.

Binding & Editing XML to a DataGrid in ASP.Net [Binding & Editing XML to a DataGrid in ASP.Net]

Knute — Fri, 30 Apr 2004 16:55:16 GMT

Does anyone here know of a good example of Binding an XML document, not an XML resultset from SQL, to a DataGrid in ASP.net, in C#?

I have seen some stuff in VB, but not complete examples. The examples I have seen have all been Xml as a result of a SQL query, not dealing with pure XML documents. I want to deal only with XML...

Thanks!

Why do VB code snippets come before C# in MSDN? [Why do VB code snippets come before C# in MSDN?]

Knute — Tue, 20 Apr 2004 17:11:34 GMT

Hey MSDN team, why do the VB code snippets come before the C# and C++ samples? Is it something like this:

1. Easy - VB
2. Difficult - C#
3. Expert - C++

Just curious...

ps - I can see the flames already, look at that fire burn!!!

MSDN Feature Request [MSDN Feature Request]

Knute — Sat, 17 Apr 2004 00:01:42 GMT

I find the MSDN documentation to be marginally helpful when developing my projects. I usually go to MSDN to find out what the methods and properties of an object are, then I go out on the web and search for "Scenarios" where I would use them.

It would be nice if there were more scenario's in MSDN. What I mean is something like this. Say you are developing an application that accesses an Xml Document. You need to be able to iterate through all the nodes and if you find and attribute with the name of productID add a value.

I am not really look for a sample, because I get really tired of samples against the NW DB.

What would be nice is if I clicked on XmlDataDocument in MSDN in addition to all the properties and methods there would also be some common scenarios like the one above. Then there would be a short list of the items necessary to make that happen, i.e. XmlDataDocument, XmlNode, Xpath, etc.

I don't know if I am making sense here but I just think the documentation could be a little richer.

What are your thoughts?

No Passport Login? [No Passport Login?]

Knute — Wed, 07 Apr 2004 16:50:07 GMT

It would have been nice if there was integrated Passport login. Was this avoided for some reason? I have noticed on sites like gotdotnet that they chose the Passport route.

Other than that small gripe this site is great! Well maybe some emoticons in messages would be fun too, but hey I can live without them.
