Women in IT Luncheon at DevConnections next week

Connections

This is a great thing that DevConnections has been putting together for the past few conferences. There will be a separate luncheon area on one day for women attendees to get together and gab away. In the fall, we did it on the last day and everyone said they wished they had been able to meet each other at the start of the conference, not just as they were getting ready to go home.

So that has been accommodated. I’m looking forward to it yet again.

It will be on Monday in the Crystal Ballroom. There is no formal presentation, it is purely social.

ASP.NET debugging in Vista/IIS7

ASP.NET

There are two bumps in the road of debugging ASP.NET in Vista. The first is enabling Windows Authentication, which depends on properly installing IIS on your computer. The second is an issue with the debugger not being able to automatically attach to the process that is running your website. This is gotten around either by manually attaching each time (a huge pain in the rear that I got sick of in less than 30 minutes) or applying a quick patch that Mike Volodarsky, on Microsoft’s IIS team whipped up.

Mike’s blog post shows how to get past these bumps and more.
