April 21 Yesterday I had an argument exception ("value does not fall within the expected range") within my code. I was submiting some data from a form to a SharePoint custom list when this happened. Debugging the application showed me that the exception was at the line with the expression item[field_name] = value.
I thought "how does this not fall into the expected range?! The field type is text and I'm using a string value for Christ sake!". After a short checking and reflection I thought "Well... maybe it's the name of the field..." and so I checked it. Nope! The name was alright. The column name was "Name" and it was alright!
So I went around and around trying to solve it: web, colleagues,... and suddenly something hit me (not literally). "Wait! I changed the name of the field! The original name is Title!". I changed the name in the item[field_name] and everything started working correctly.
I know this situation may be a lame one, but I think it can help someone with a similar problem. At least is another post about this issue. : )
All the best and good coding! I found in CodeProject this excellent article about the 'using' keyword in C#. Enjoy. April 16 Back again!
I just have read an article about coding best practices that I found really interesting and want to share with you. It is just the first part, but very interesting all the same. Click here to read it.
All the best October 29 The new version of VS Team System comes with some powerful goodies. Here are a few features: - individuals can create visual representations of existing code assets;
- code validation against a visual representation of the architecture;
- testers can follow a set of defined validation steps and create actionable bugs;
- identification of the tests that should be run to validate code changes.

Ou seja, o equivalente ao abate de 11 árvores. Graças à solução encontrada para desmaterializar toda a documentação submetida à aprovação, discussão e votação em reuniões de câmara, esses gastos podem agora ser evitados e o trabalho ficou significativamente facilitado... ler maisJune 05 Sentido das Letras / Copyright 2008 - 6/4/2008 3:29 PM 
Um estudo levado a cabo pela McAfee, intitulado “Mapping the Mal Web Revisited”, revelou que Hong Kong é o país com o domínio mais perigoso (.hk) e a Finlândia como o mais seguro. O domínio de Hong Kong (.hk) é considerado o local mais perigoso para navegar e pesquisar na Web, de acordo com um novo estudo da McAfee intitulado “Mapping the Mal Web Revisited”. O segundo estudo anual da McAfee sobre os locais na Web mais perigosos e mais seguros revelou que 19,2% de todos os websites que terminam no domínio (.hk) constituem uma ameaça de segurança para os cibernautas. A China (.cn) segue em segundo lugar no ranking com mais de 11%. No lado oposto, a Finlândia (.fi) substitui a Irlanda (.ie) como o domínio mais seguro com 0,05%, seguida do Japão (.jp). O domínio genérico mais perigoso no estudo de 2007 mantém-se em 2008, com 11,8% de todos os websites terminados em (.info) a constituírem uma ameaça de segurança, e a representarem o terceiro domínio mais perigoso em termos gerais, enquanto os websites governamentais (.gov) permanecem como o domínio genérico mais seguro. O domínio mais comum (.com) é o nono domínio mais perigoso em termos gerais. Utilizando a premiada tecnologia do McAfee® SiteAdvisor®, a McAfee analisou 9,9 milhões de websites fortemente visitados, provenientes de 265 domínios diferentes por país (por exemplo, websites terminados em (.pt) correspondentes a Portugal) e genéricos (por exemplo, websites terminados em (.net) ou (.info).

Cheers  February 29 Hello everyone! Long time, no see...
Last week, SkyDrive team has lauched the last version of their application and it brings some new features:
- we now have 5Gb of available storing space;
- it is available on 38 countries. Previously it was only available on Great Britain, India and U.S. (see this article last paragraph);
- bug fixes and improvements to make the site faster and more reliable.
SkyDrive works just as a remote hard drive (for all those who doesn't know it). You have private and public folders and you can do most of the known file operations, even those related to security (users management and permissions).
Of course, the wonderfull thing about it is that it is accessed from any location where a web connection is available. You should try it...
Countries where SkyDrive is available: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey. August 20 One of the not so known operator in C# is the ?? operator, but it's a very usefull one. If you're working with null values you'll want to work with this operator for sure...
Observe the following code block:
int? x = null;
int y = x;
This will go BOOM with an exception at compile time, but if you do something like this:
int y = x ?? -1;
It'll accept the -1 in case x is null (and doesn't explode). Usefull isn't it? ; )
Check this for more...

Cheers April 11 This piece of code is to all those who scratch their heads thinking about how to do some things in SQL... things that are done in a simple and intuitive way with high level languages. But don't despair! SQL is simple enough, including its syntax. All we have to do is go around some things that are more intuitive in other languages, but as a colleague of mine says: "We can do everything with SQL! All we have to do is to achieve a certain feeling about doing things with it"... and I agree : )
So will you : )

February 13 I banged and banged with my head against the wall after browsing the net for clues without any luck... but I'll start from the beginning...
I have an ASP.Net FileUpload control [ <asp:fileupload> ] in a gridview (what was I thinking... : ).
Although I had the control found and processed on code-behind, one sole method insisted on returning the value 'false'. It was the HasFile method, wich was... well... WRONG! Nothing I did returned differently until I tried a simple line instead: fileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0.
So my happy code looks now like this:
FileUpload fileUpload1 = (FileUpload) GridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].FindControl("Field1");
if(fileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
bla, bla, bla...
}
else
{
bla, bla, bla somemore
}
...and it works just fine!
Hope this helps others : )
Cheers
