Back to Basics: Daylight Savings Time bugs strike again with SetLastModified

November 6, 2011 in Articles, ASP.NET, News, Reference

No matter how well you know a topic, or a codebase, it's never to late (or early) to get nailed by a latest bug a over a half-decade old. DasBlog , the ASP.NET 2 blog engine that powers this blog, is done. It's not dead, but it's done. It's very stable. We had some commits last year, and I committed a bug fix in February, but it's really well understood and very baked. My blog hasn't been down for traffic spike reasons in literally years as DasBlog scales nicely on a single machine. It was 10:51pm PDT (that's Pacific Daylight Time) and I was writing a blog post about the clocks in my house, given that PST (that's Pacific Standard Time) was switching over soon. I wrote it up in Windows Live Writer, posted it to…(read more)

November 4, 2011 in Articles, News, Reference

Making HTML5 Video work with IIS Express

November 3, 2011 in Articles, News, Reference

One of the cool things about HTML5 is the ability to play audio/video files out of the box without the dependency on plugins. Earlier I had written about HTML5 Video and the fallback using Silverlight for non-supported scenarios Visual Studio 2010 SP1 has decent support for HTML5, in terms of intellisense, validation etc., But, one issue that is constantly faced when using the HTML5 Video tag in an ASP.NET Application (Web/MVC) built using Visual Studio is that, the videos doesn’t play when running the application from Visual Studio on IE9. Taking a step back, Visual Studio uses ASP.NET Development Server as the default setting when debugging and running applications on the local machine. The ASP.NET Development Server (also called as Cassini…(read more)
