Far too much padding on WebPart Chrome

One of the current problems with the ASP.NET web parts is the Spacing between them , you can't realy set it to "0". So after a small search , found the MS walkaround at
Far too much padding on WebPart Chrome
making a long story short

CssClass:

.NoPadding { padding: 0px ; }

ASP.Net:

<asp:WebPartZone ID="zone" runat="server" PartChromeType="none" Padding="0" PartStyle-CssClass="NoPadding">

Implementing SOA with .NET 3.0 - Architect Conference

Last year Clemens Vasters ( blogs.msdn ) did a small session here in israel, what can I say - it was F A N T A S T I C. Well , it seems that his two colleagues, Daniel Fisher and Michael Willers are coming next month to israel to give the update version of the lecture.
So here's the link to the regitration form Implementing SOA with .NET 3.0

A new Community Website for Biztalk Developers/Architects/Adminstrators.

I was reading a few Blogs about Workflow Foundation, when I came accros this: Community Website for Biztalk Developers/Architects/Adminstrators.
I don't know how many of you are BTS / WF programmers , but BTS is one of the least appreciated application that came out of Microsoft. Why ? because there aren't that many programmers who use it , because there aren't that many companies who bought it , because it's so unique.

Another HTTP Request viewer/processor

So , Fiddler HTTP Debugger is by far the faivorate Http Debugger for those who don't have the money to buy HTTP Analyzer. But , what about the new and free HttpWatch which is also a very nice and free Http Request Viewer, think about it.

Though my faivorate books regarding Design Patterns are :
Head First Design Patterns ( Java Edition ) 
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler

Scott Watermasysk strikes again

One of the lately talked about articles in ASP.NET community are the articles which Scott Watermasysk released. His previous one Quick Tips For ASP.Net - Part One ( + ASP.NET Tip - Use The Label Control Correctly , which is Phil's ) were quite a nice summary of a few tricks that I knew already , but haven't summarized anywhere.
... so what can I say about ASP.Net Quick Tips - Web.config , except keep up the good work.

Web Based Html Editors

I don't know about you , but one of the things that I liked in the "BeerHouse" was the fact that it has introduced me to the FCKEditor. One of the things that I ( my users ) liked was the option to paste from word without bothering yourself with the formating that word added to the generated HTML.
"...Ok , so go to the point"
Ok , two more editors : obout Editor and TinyMCE.

.NET Reflector 5.0

.NET Reflector 5.0 ... and it seems to have new add-in(s)

 

A few things about me

Ok , here's a few things about me :

1. Adlai means in Hebrew "Until God".
2. My Family name Maschiach means "Messiah".
3. In some part of the internet i'm also known as "Adlai Meshiach" , as a result of the 8 letter limit of Login name in the Unix System at that time ( login was Meshiach ).
4. My birthdate is a polyndrom 27/8/72 ( dd/mm/yy ) , which makes me a "Virgo" ( yes I believe in that a bit ).
5. The name Adlai first appeared in the bible , he was King David's Minister of Cattle in the region of Shomron 1 Chronicles 27:29.
6. I was originally named after my grandfather , from my father's side , who's name was Adolf ( not a so good name for jews ) , he died before my parents were married.
7. My second name reference is Adlai Stevenson ( a link to wikipedia ).
8. After looking for this adlai , I found another one Adlai E. Stevenson.
9. I have a Middle name - Shimon , after my mother's grandfather , but I rarely us it.
10. I have a little sister named Ella Maschiach.
11. I have a B.Sc. In Computer Sciences , and a M.Sc. In Information System Engineering ( my thesis was about security over the internet ). Both degrees from Ben Gurion University in the Negev.
12. My first home page was on my Univ. Account and it was built in 1996.
13. My first program was in GwBasic , at the age of 11 , on a Apple IIC. Ahh yes , it was a 1 level Space Invaders.
14. The first time I've heard about computers was when someone showed me some cards , and told me that this is a program - some thing that computes some thing else ;-)

I think this should do as an opening Article

Ok , bye for now
