Database call to 'ConnectionWrite (send()).' caused an exception.
In my last post, I wrote about the process of discovering that my client’s SQL Server hadn’t had a single service pack applied to it. We applied Service Pack 4 and good times were had by all….for about 12 hours. The web applications all worked but then a .NET Windows application started serving up strange…

Problem: Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
The last few days have been a little bit hellish. I’ve been on-site at my client’s office helping them do a Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 migration, set up their new server, and deploy beta versions of the applications that I’ve been writing for them.

Tech recruiters outsourcing phone work to India?
Ever get the feeling that IT recruiters are outsourcing phone work to India? I keep getting these calls with TERRIBLE line quality from people with Indian accents asking if I’m available for work.

Using a run-time defined connection string with Enterprise Library's Data Access Block.
As you can probably tell from previous posts, I’m feel pretty mixed about on the Microsoft Patterns & Practices Enterprise Library Data Access Block (MPAPELDAB, for short). I like the design of the classes and I really like that you can access databases other than just SQL Server but I’m having some serious problems with registry…

I’ve been involved with ASP.NET development pretty much since it was in beta and I thought that I really knew what was going on and could cut code pretty well. I must have gotten rusty or something cuz I feel like I’ve learned a TON in the last month. Usually the knowledge is aquired in…

"ASPNET" vs. "NETWORK SERVICE"
Well, this just wasted the better part of 2 hours. I’m trying to lock down an ASP.NET app that i’m writing to “least privalege”. I’ve got the ASPNET and IUSR_ permissions set to “read”, “execute” and “list”. I kept getting “Server cannot access application directory ‘c:inetpubblahblahblahblah’. The directory does not exist or is not accessible…
