Re: Changing Log4Net Configurations Dynamically

Dillie-O — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:31:27 -0000

As I've been implementing this into my own applications and exploring the LINQ to XML library a bit more, I discovered that there is an angle bracket shorthand available if you know the proper path to your XML entities. For instance, when retrieving the current logging level, I can use the following code:

Results = ContentDoc.<log4net>.<root>.<level>.Attributes.First.Value

A bit cleaner to read and handy for other types of operations. Enjoy!

Hey,

Was hoping to see a followup at some point to these (and the images seemed to have died). I'm trying to come up with a compendium of all blog posts about Personal Kanban. How's it working this far out?

Kind of like a host your data on S3 and Azure at let the application pull data from what is best available?

Re: Using a RequiredFieldValidator for a DropDownList in ASP.Net

I'm glad I could help!

True, Display=Dynamic doesn't need to be set. I typically use the dynamic setting because it doesn't put any kind of placeholder spacing on the page where the error message would show up.

Thanks for this, great help...although I dont think you need the Display="Dynamic" to be set

Re: Fixing Windows 7 ?User Profile Service? Woes

Dillie-O — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:15:34 -0000

I know you can create another profile with administrator privileges, and that should allow you to access anything you need, but the built in administrator profile that gets installed with the machine is a different story. You may need to reinstall Windows 7 to get that account.

Before you do that, Microsoft has this article (http://windows.microsoft.co... that has a little more in depth procedure for restoring corrupted profiles. Make sure to create a second profile first with administrator privileges and maybe this process will fix things up. Let me know how it goes.

Re: Fixing Windows 7 ?User Profile Service? Woes

Heather — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:43:32 -0000

Now how do I do this if the user profile that is corrupt is the administrator profile...everytime it asks for the password I type it in and it stops the entire process. Is there a way to create a new administrator profile and delete the old corrupt administrator profile?

Following up on my own post. It also dawned on me that the IntialValue field can be used in conjuction with the TextBoxWatermark extenders to do a proper validation on those fields if the user never enters the TextBox.

Re: Log4Net: A Quick Start Guide

Check out the log4net pattern layout description outlined here:

http://logging.apache.org/l...

This will let you know what each conversion code relates to in your log file. From there, you can simply read each line, and parse each line into the appropriate fields based on how the line is formatted.

Hope this helps!

How can i read the conversion Pattern from the log file using File.Open()?

I need to parse the log entry.

Just wanted to give you an update. I did this with decorative curtain rods (2), metal shower curtain rings and decorative shower hooks. It looks so good!

I made sure I put them up through studs so they could hold everything and it is really solid. Thanks so much for the idea.

This was really informative and simple! I am going to the store today to get the parts and make this. We soooooo need a wall pot rack and this I could do and surprise my husband.

Thanks so much!

Re: It's the semantics silly...

Tim Mueller — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:38:26 -0000

Sean,

Thanks for the post! I feel confident in my front end coding skills (HTML/CSS) but I have started hobbying with a couple of the biggie server side dudes (C#/.Net, PHP/MySQL) in recent years, and am starting to see what your talking about! Each language accomplishes roughly the same goals of automating a task, but each only has it's different syntax.

As I'm primarily drowning in documenting customer requirements, use cases, and mocking up interfaces, I rarely have time to invest in my programming skills. But your recommendation as a salty veteran :) on focusing on the semantics of programming (OO, docs, loops, data structures, operators, etc) will help me to avoid getting pigeonholed into a single language.

Thanks again Skillet!

Tim
