Topic:Is Your Time At Work Well Spent
Speaker: Keidrick Pettaway
I graduated from the University of South Alabama in 2004 with a degree in E-Commerce.
While in college I was co-owner of P&S Computer Services, LLC.
We specialized in providing IT Consulting and Services to several SMB's along the Gulf Coast
After college I worked at the University of South Alabama Hospital(s) Information Systems Department as a Project Manager/ Lead.
Working in that capacity allowed me to be hands on with several cutting edge technologies (Citrix, CAGS,Netscalers, VM Ware, Several Platforms on the MSFT Stack).
Currently I work as a Software Engineer at a Privately Held DOD Contractor.

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

If you use the Response.End, Response.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.

I`m a WP 7 Phone owner, so I decided to post some of the apps I use on a daily basis.

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

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.
