Visual Studio 2003 - opening ASP.NET project - getting “The operation timed out” error message 

Monday, April 09, 2012 9:41:20 AM

 Perhaps you are still working on a 1.1 .Net Framework Application such as I. :)

Well on occasion you may receive the above error while trying to run/ debug.

The solution to the problem is as follows:

1.)Open command window and navigate to C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322 Type in aspnet_regiis -u 2.) Once finished uninstalling ASP.NET type in apsnet_regiis -i

3.) Perform IISReset

ThreadAbortException Occurs If You Use Response.End, Response.Redirect, or Server.Transfer 

Thursday, March 29, 2012 3:17:29 PM

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Response.EndResponse.Redirect, or Server.Transfer method, a ThreadAbortExceptionexception occurs. You can use a try-catch statement to catch this exception.

 

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

  • For Response.End, call the HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest method instead of Response.End to bypass the code execution to the Application_EndRequest event.
  • For Response.Redirect, use an overload, Response.Redirect(String url, bool endResponse) that passes false for the endResponse parameter to suppress the internal call to Response.End. For example:
      Response.Redirect ("nextpage.aspx", false);
    						
    If you use this workaround, the code that follows Response.Redirect is executed.
  • For Server.Transfer, use the Server.Execute method instead.

How to Create an AVD for Eclipse  

Sunday, March 18, 2012 7:20:40 PM

 The Emulator allows you to see how your application will perform once it's installed on a "real device", without having one in front of you.

From the Eclipse IDE go to Window >AVD Manager

Create a new virtual device.

Name it whatever you like. The important things here are the Target API that you want to develop for.

To be safe I would go with at least 2.3.3 which is API level 10.

After you have created your AVD to Launch just go back to the AVD Manager > Select your new AVD > select Start, and once the next dialog displays select launch.

that's it

Beginning Android Development 

Sunday, March 18, 2012 6:32:58 PM

 I have decided to begin looking at development for the mobile platform. So this is a little "How to", for what you will need to setup your machine, and beginning hacking out some java code.

*These steps assume you are using a PC not a MAC, setup for MAC OS is a little different.*

Step 1

Download the Android SDK 

Step 2

Download the Eclipse IDE 

I would recommend just the classic version, you can view the details of the other 2 flavors

Step 3

Download the JRE

Step 4

Installing the ADT Plugin for Eclipse

Fire up Eclipse

then go to Help > Install New Software

Click add

In the add repository dialog enter "ADT Plugin" and use the following URL for the Location

https://dl-ssl.google.com/andriod/eclipse

Then hit OK.

 In the available software dialog, select Developer Tools and click next.

In the following window you will see a list of the tools to be downloaded.

Press next until finished.

Step 5

Installing the  Android  SDK

While you have eclipse open go to

window >Preferences

select  Android   browse to the location that you downloaded the SDK to ie (c:/temp)

Press Apply and then Ok

The Final step configuration of the SDK

From Eclipse go to Window> Android  SDK

You will have several options here. I would just select them all, p.s. it takes a while for them to download.
