Dates are a PIA – no matter what language.
Found a neat way to do the validation e.g. the d/m/yyyy vs. d/mm/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy etc.
bool validDate = DateTime.TryParseExact(txtDate.Text,
new[] { "dd/MM/yyyy", "d/MM/yyyy"},
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out d);
if (!validDate)
{
Error stuff
}
else
Valid stuff
So you just add the valid patterns to the array and away you go!
Enjoy!

Over on the TechNet Wiki, I contributed an article on a Kerberos Survival Guide.
Just been notified that:
The article Kerberos Survival Guide on the TechNet Wiki has achieved its 15 minutes of fame. Congratulations!
To clarify:
As you can see here: How do I earn points?, the points you get range between 5 and 2,500 points when your article gets from 500 to 1 million page views. "15 minutes of fame" is the first milestone.
Enjoy!
I do a lot of work developing applications on my Windows 7 32 bit machine using IIS 7.5 and then migrating them to IIS 7.5 on my Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit box. Not as simple as it sounds.
Using VS 2010, my DefaultAppPool on Windows 7 uses the .NET 4.0 framework whereas it’s 2.0 on Windows 2008. So you need to make a new application pool and set it to “Integrated” and the 4.0 framework.
OK – then I get the above error. The blurb below on the error page says that the most likely cause is that:
“Managed handler is used; however, ASP.NET is not installed or is not installed completely.”
Check my installed features in IIS 7.5 and Yup – ASP.NET is installed, it has a handler etc. So WTF?
Mr. Google to the rescue.
Run a command prompt in administrative mode.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).
..................
Finished installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).
Note: Your version of the framework may be different!
Notice that it installs ASP.NET even though it is already supposed to be there but it fixes the problem and all is well!
Enjoy!
Playing around with WCF web services in VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4.
When I run the WCF Test Client across the web service I get the above error. The service still works but there’s an error symbol (a ! in a red circle on the LHS).
Mr. Google to the rescue and you need to change the framework config file here:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
Comment out the “endpoint” section i.e.
<client>
<!-- <endpoint address="" binding="netTcpRelayBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="sb" /> -->
<metadata>
Problem solved.
Even though it still works, I hate these niggly errors in case I’ve screwed up
Enjoy!
