• What domain name do you use in your examples?

  Example.com, Example.net, Example.org are reserved.  I found this on http://dnsstuff.com ( http://member.dnsstuff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1572913 ). Here is the RFC http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt  I learn something new everyday.   I'll be using example.com in my 'examples' in the future.   Posted Tuesday, February 27, 2007 11:32 PM from Steve Schofield Weblog | (Comments Off)

• IIS7 - post #30 - Adrotator on IIS7 / Vista / BC32400: Class 'CLSID_CorSymWriter' could not be created: Access is denied.

  I was working with the Adrotator component included in .NET 2.0 on Vista and IIS7.  I was getting this error; BC32400: Class 'CLSID_CorSymWriter' could not be created: Access is denied.    It worked on my other vista machine, so I knew it was specific to my machine.  I ran Process Monitor (aka Filemon) and found two registry keys that were getting denied.  After adding Network Service with READ permissions, this started working.    PS: It was fun to actually use Filemon to track down a problem of my own, I mention this tool in many newsgroup posting.  Here is a picture of the output. Here is the raw output of the error Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request.

• Intellisense / get-member in Powershell

  One of the neat tricks is write out what Methods, Properties get-member cmdlet.  Here are a couple of replies I recently from my question in the Powershell newsgroup.   Example 1 ------------- It works well for static methods (note the parenthesis and square brackets around the class name): PS> get-member -in ([system.math]) -static Example 2 ------------- You don't need to assign to a variable. You can pipe the new object into the get-member call: new-object text.stringBuilder | get-member -memberType methods If you don't want to create an instance at all, you can use reflection: [text.stringBuilder].getMethods() | % { $_.name } | sort -unique Posted Tuesday, February 06, 2007 10:26 PM from Steve Schofield Weblog | (Comments Off) Filed under: powershell
