I recently had an issue with Visual Studio and a pound sign, '#', character in a folder name. It turns out that you need to be careful when you name the folders that you put projects in.

Every once in a while you may find yourself needing to write a file to the web server. For instance, I recently had to write an ASP.NET page that would save certain data from an input XML file as a text file on the web server. Thanks to the nifty abilities of C#, saving the new file was a snap. Read on for more...

Here is a simple function that opens a file, reads it in a line at a time, and prints the output to the screen. The nl2br statement in the function will convert the newline characters ("\n" or "\r\n" depending on your OS) to HTML breaks, "<br>".

After months of searching for a Nintendo Wii, I finally found one at Wal*Mart. So I bought it - along with some extra controllers and a memory card. I got it home and unpacked it. Everything that I needed to get started was included in the box - although I would have preferred to have component video cables instead of a composite one. The hookup was simple enough. I plugged in the power cable, the composite A/V cable, and the sensor bar cable. I put the batteries in the wireless remote, turned the Wii on, and it powered right up. Everything was going great until it was time to get the Wii online.
