ActiveDirectory permission exception through a network share

hockblogs.net — Hi there, Today I recieved the following error when starting a .NET application from a network share: .NET 2.0 error: Request for the permission of type 'System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesPermission, System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed. This error occurred when trying to run code that accessed the System.DirectoryServices namespace. Thanks to Tim Huffam I was being able to fix this within seconds! To work around this, just open up your .NET 2.0 security: 1. Start the .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration tool (from Administrative Tools). 2. Expand Runtime Security Policy. 3. Expand User - Code Groups and right-click on All_Code and select Properties. 4. On the Membership Condition tab make sure All Code is selected in the dropdownlist. 5. On the Permission Set tab make sure FullTrust is selected in the dropdownlist. 6. Click OK 7. Under Runtime Security Policy, expand Machine - Code Groups and right-click on All_Code and select Properties. 8. Perform steps 4 - 6. read more...

Sitecore 6 Content Management System is released and handy links!

hockblogs.net — Hi there, Sitecore 6 was released yesterday! Yeah.....Smile Last week I already got a sneak peak of it from a collegue of mine, when Alex de Groot visited us. It was a sneak peak of the Nicam Sitecore 6 demo site. The thing I really like is being able to search in many many places within the Client. Being able to validate your content, the wait cursor notification when you click on an item in the content editor, the validation notifiers on the right hand side, the Placeholder Settings folder and ofcourse the icon preview of an image in the Media Library. Really necessary stuff. I'm looking forward to the first Migration projects from Sitecore 5.3 to Sitecore 6, since they really reduced the databases. In Sitecore 6 we now have only the Web, the Master and the Core databases, instead of Sitecore 5.3 which has additional databases like Extranet, Security, Archive and Recycle Bin. read more...

Visual inheritance DataGridView, where is it at design time?

hockblogs.net — Hi there, I'm currently working on a Visual Studio .NET 2005 Winforms project, where i've got multiple forms which have a DataGridView on it. So I decided, for maintenance sake, that I had to create a baseform, since alle the forms really must look-a-like. In the baseform I've set the modifier of the, to be inherited, control to public or protected. Nice job you would think! But guess again, cause visual inheritance on 2.0 controls, that can hold a collection, like the DataGridView is not possible. So you can throw away all your good meanings and efforts! This is what Microsoft has to say about it: "We disabled this scenario intentionally. We chose to not make the engineering effort it would have required to enable this scenario for Whidbey. This decision was not make lightly and we understand customers would like this functionality, but the existing visual inheritance architecture in combination with collection based controls makes it extremely costly to address. We hope to enable this in future versions". read more...

Choosing a string comparison method is simple!

hockblogs.net — In a lot of projects different users use different string comparison methods. I’ve seen a lot of code where there is a lot of ToLowers(), Equals, equality == operators, string.compare, string.CompareTo, and so on used for comparing strings. All different usages, sometimes for different purposes, but 99% of the time for the same purpose. Since .NET 2.0 however, Microsoft has new recommendations, and I think it is really a must to read. A link to the new Microsoft recommendations can be found at the end of this article. There are two very important things to ask yourself when comparing string: * Should my string be treated as a symbolic set of bytes (an ordinal interpretation)? * Should my string vary over culture (a culture-sensitive interpretation)? If the string data, that is designed to be culture-agnostic and linguistically irrelevant, start using the StringComparison overloads, using either the StringComparison.Ordinal or StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase. These two overloads enforce a byte-by-byte comparison similar to strcmp that not only avoids bugs from linguistic interpretation of essentially symbolic strings, but provides better performance! read more...

Sitecore XPath Query vs Children.ToArray()

hockblogs.net — Sorting is one of the important features that are nearly always required in each project. Recently I’ve run into a major problem on a Sitecore / .NET project, when displaying a set of data that was sorted. Actually the sorting wasn’t any problem, no it was the differende between the two ways that the data was retrieved. In this article I show you the difference between using the Children.ToArray() statement and using a Xpath Query. read more...
