How did you get rid of these annoying ASP.NET errors: Could not load file or assembly 'App_Web_z9w33txs, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' This has only happened to me once before.

We've got an ASP.Net 2.0 (VS2005) application that works fine locally, but sometimes loses session state when deployed on the remote server. I suspect a possible issue with IIS recyling the application and thereby blowing away the users' session state. However, the server is remote not under our control... so we can't simply fire up ...

I using urlrewriter.net to implement friendly urls. When I did the rewriting I used subfolders on occasions. I found myself having problems with images and links and the ~ sign wasn't working for me.

I've been tasked with converting an existing ASP.NET site from using InProc session management to using the ASP.NET State Server. Of course what this means is that anything stored in the Session must be serializable. One of the most complicated pages in the app is currently storing an ASP.NET control collection to the Session. This is...
I am using shared hosting with IIS7 and support for PHP. I am trying to run a wordpress blog with "pretty urls" (removing index.php). The hosting provider doesn't want to install the URLRewrite module, so that option isn't available to me. I found a plugin for wordpress that will remove the index.php from permalink URLs and changing the ...
I'm an ASP.NET web part novice. I've built a few simple ones using only a class that derived from WebPart and overriding the CreateChildControls method, but nothing really very substantial.

Depending on the situation you can accomplish the same goal using either. What are the pros and cons of each mechanism? One argument ...
