Kaspersky 2009 trial resetter

Rather than risking using a patch etc that could be full of viruses etc, it takes 1 minute to do it manually!!!

Microsoft Net.Framework 3.5 is necessary for launch the prog

Instructions :

1.) Disable Kaspersky's 'Self-Defense' feature and finish your kaspersky product before download Kaspersky trial resetter ( because it's a false positive )
2.) If the 'Notifications' checkbox is checked the program will delete all notification messages about the Kaspersky license.
3.) If the 'Self-Defense' checkbox is checked the program will re-enable the Kaspersky's 'Self-Defense' feature.
4.) Click the 'Start Reset' button to begin.
5.) If you get a message while the resetting process is running this means that some features may need to be adjusted manually. After you finish the adjustments just click the 'Continue' button to resume the resetting process.
6.) Wait for Kaspersky to start and prompt you to activate.
7.) Activate online or with the supplied 30-Day Trial key.

It's very simple

Find the control inside the contenttemplate of the device specific?

In my mobile application i wanted to find a control that was in a devicespecific tag. I am surprised there was no dirac way to find that control and following work-around solved my issue.

public Control GetControl(string ID, Control cstart)
    {
        Control co = new Control();
        Type t = typeof(System.Web.UI.MobileControls.TemplateContainer);
        if (cstart.HasControls())
        {
            foreach (Control c in cstart.Controls)
            {
                if (co != null)
                {
                    if (t.IsInstanceOfType(c))
                    {
                        co = c.FindControl(ID);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if (c.HasControls())
                        {
                            co = GetControl(ID, c);
                        }
                    }
                }

            }
        }

        return co;
    }

If you want to find a dropdownlist named "ddlItems" inside devicespecific tag use

DropDownList ddl= (DropDownList)GetControl("ddlItems",this );

I am still searching for a simpler way to do this. In the time hope this will help in some way.

ASP.NET Mobile Development with Visual Studio 2008

This link provides a way to work out Mobile application development as it is not supported by VS 2008 by default.

 http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2007/01/09/tip-trick-using-mobile-web-forms-with-web-applicaiton-projects.aspx

These templates are only for the "Web Application Project" type. To do a Web Application Project you should select 'File > New Project' from the menu and then select "ASP.NET Web Application" as the project type. In that project selecting "Add New Item" hopefully should show the templates.

Enable/Disable Internal Webpage Scrollbar

To set the scrollbar for an elemnt with a web page You can try the "overflow" property in CSS/styles.

<div style="overflow:auto">...content...</div>

If you have content that is larger than the box (in this case the DIV layer) where you place the links, there will be a scrollbar to scroll to the rest of the links.

If you set overflow:hidden the the scroll bar won't be displayed for the element.

error executing child request for chartimg.axd

I came across the above error when trying to get started with the ASP.net chart controls and changing the following entry in web.config solved my issue.

  <add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />

The simple change you have to make to get the chart to work is to add "POST" to the allowed verbs:


 <add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
