I have a registration page, and because of content issues we have to request and enforce applicants giving a birthdate. So it stands to reason that this field cannot be null. I am using jQuery to watermark the textbox to tell them that they can click it and get a jQuery UI Calendar object to pick the date. Picking the date works fine, t...

This works on the VS integrated Webserver, but I have an issue with it in IIS7 on Windows Server 2008. If I have the URL http://localhost...
I've been poking around this site and I've seen a few post about how to "migrate" to MVC from Web Forms... but as a single developer working on a complex Web Forms app I simply don't have the time to to a full migration. What I want to do is add all new content using MVC, and migrate older content over as I have time (and/or have too). ...
I have to write this script to send a mass email reminder but our head dev is out of town so I can't do a patch to the .dll, instead I am using an .aspx page that I can just push out.

I need a set up a website that accepts URLs from an older web site version and permenantly redirect them to the new site.
