One of the most annoying things in developing web pages is handling the “Enter key” for form submission. Enter key has been the favourite way users like to submit forms. Though we provide Buttons to click on, the easiest and intuitive way is that, I can enter some text, make some changes and then hit “Enter” to accomplish my submission.
“Enter” Key is handled in a little tricky way by uplevel browsers like Internet Explorer, when it comes to ASP.NET.

* If there is a single Textbox and single button, then it becomes straight forward, the button is submitted. However, the event code doesnt get executed, though the page postsback.

* If there are two or more, buttons, then it takes up the first button as the default button. However, it still doesnt execute the event handler but just refreshes the page.

You can supress the Enter key event using Javascript. But this would result in other undesirable effects like, any Enter key in the form i.e. within Text Area or basically where large text is entered, would be disabled.

The earlier work around was to associate a javascript function to each Button to verify the that the relevant button is submitted upon Enter key.

ASP.NET 2.0 introduces a wonderful work around for this. By simply specifying the “defaultbutton” property to the ID of the <asp:Button>, whose event you want to fire, your job is done.

The defaultbutton property can be specified at the Form level in the form tag as well as at panel level in the <asp:panel> definition tag. The form level setting is overridden when specified at the panel level, for those controls that are inside the panel.

“Não é possível iniciar o microsoft office outlook. Não é possível abrir a janela do Outlook.”

Erro ao abrir o Outlook 2007 (Não é possivel abrir a janela do outlook)
Hoje depois de um reboot ao PC não estava a conseguir abri o Outlook.

Após alguma pesquisa e debug, lá encontrei a solução: “Limpar e gerar novamente o painel de navegação do perfil actual.”

Para isso basta ir ao “Menu Iniciar”, escolher a opção “Executar” e escrever o comando outlook  /resetnavpane

Outros comandos que podem ser úteis para o Outlook:

This can happen when you have different versions installed. For example, if you install SQL Server 2005 SP3 and later, and only then install the Reporting Services.

In this situation it should be rerun after the SP3 installation of Reporting Services

The Group Policy Management Console is included in Windows Server 2008; however, you must install it before you can use it. The domain controller promotion process installs GPMC on the server, in addition to adding the domain controller to the domain. Additionally, you can install GPMC on a member server as long as it’s a member of the domain. Let’s look at two ways to install GPMC on Windows Server 2008 (other than through DCPROMO).

Installing GPMC using Server Manager (Windows Server 2008)

The Group Policy Management Console is a Feature in Windows Server 2008. You install Features using Server Manager. Once installed, you can access the feature using Server Manager or you can the specific management console (like gpmc.msc).

Short answer: Delete your NK2 file.

Slightly longer answer: In the C:\Documents and Settings\<user

name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory there should be a file

with an NK2 extension. Deleting it should clear the auto-suggestion cache.

Scott Gu blogged about the the free Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET 3.5.

Microsoft recently released a cool new ASP.NET server control - <asp:chart /> - that can be used for free with ASP.NET 3.5 to enable rich browser-based charting scenarios:

• Download the free Microsoft Chart Controls
• Download the VS 2008 Tool Support for the Chart Controls
• Download the Microsoft Chart Controls Samples
• Download the Microsoft Chart Controls Documentation
• Visit the Microsoft Chart Control Forum

Once installed the <asp:chart/> control shows up under the “Data” tab on the Toolbox, and can be easily declared on any ASP.NET page as a standard server control:

This is kind of an old issue, but since I mostly work on corporate projects, we’re a bit slow on adopting new versions of anything.
I ran into this issue with Microsoft Word 2007 documents, but the same error will occur with any other file type that isn’t properly configured on the web server.

Symptoms
Microsoft Word 2007 documents return a HTTP 404 error when users attempt to download the documents. The web server uses Microsoft IIS 6.0.

Cause
IIS does not have a wildcard mapping for unknown MIME types and the file type is not known to the web server. This prevents IIS 6.0 to serve the file.

Resolution
To resolve the errors, add the missing MIME types to IIS.
Instructions

1. Open IIS Management Console (via Computer Manager->Services and Applications->Internet Information Service)
2. Right click on “Web Sites”.
3. Choose Properties
4. Activate “HTTP Headers” tab
5. Click “File Types” button in the MIME Map groupbox
6. Click “New Type”
7. Enter the MIME type data from the below table

• IIS and Unknown MIME Types (Alexander Groß, rightstuff.de)
• IIS 6.0 does not serve unknown MIME types (MSDN, KB 326965)

I’ve spoken to a lot of people who have expressed a lot of confusion about the OS licensing model when virtualizing systems using Hyper-V products.

There are some simple guidelines to observe when planning your Hyper-V infrastructure to take advantage of the licensing models for each edition of Windows Server 2008.

First, a term definition: Microsoft uses the term “OSE” to refer to an operating system environment, either physical or virtual. Also, Microsoft refers to a “processor” in the context of a single processor socket on the motherboard. This calculation is not affected when considering multiple core processors or hyper-threading capabilities on certain processor types.
