  • ASP.NET and Images on a Network Share

     The school district I work for had an idea for an application.  The need comes from several angles.  First of all, lunch counts are all done by paper.  Attendance is taken on paper, then it is sent to the Health Room, where tallies are made, and then everything is recorded into our Student Management System (SMS for short), and our Food Service app.  Most (if not all) of our elementary class rooms will have Smart Boards next year.  So we decided to write an app that would allow the students to "check in" in the morning on the smart board.  The kids can go up to the board and select their lunch choice, and do attendance all at once.

  • app_offline.htm

    This is probably old news, but if you temporarily need to take an ASP.Net Application offline, simply drop a file called app_offline.htm into the root directory of the app. This could be helpful when upgrading a live app.  That way, you don't get the ugly app errors that often crop up.  Like I said, old news to most of you, but still a helpful reminder. 

  • Dynamic Code Compliation

    My day job is working in the IT department for a school district.  It's an environment where I need to automate a bunch of tasks, and the parameters of the tasks frequently change. I currently have the system set up so that it runs the tasks through a VB.Net console app, and it works.  But, I have to recompile the app every time it changes.  I needed something more flexible.
