This has been on my radar screen for a while, but I want to point it out to developers in the mid Atlantic. Wintellect is putting on a conference in DC in April, dubbed Devscovery. It's 3 days of .Net, .Net, and a bit more .Net. The topics took like a good balance of in depth presentations on the current version of .Net and previews of the next version Whidbey.
If DC isn't close enough for you, in August they'll be in Redmond, in September they'll be in Atlanta, and in October they'll be in Austin, Texas.
By the way, www.WeProgram.Net is giving away a conference pass to one lucky member -- details to follow soon!
Happy .Netting!
Still reeling from a flood of New Year work. Let me offer something brief. Rob Spitzer did a nice Win2K3 and IIS 6 presentation for WeProgram.Net last night. We were discussing some Win2K to Win2K3 migration issues, and besides this Response Buffer issue I discussed here, I mentioned some default settings regarding file upload size. Donny Mack wrote about using the httpRuntime element in web.config here, but in a nutshell let me share that web.config supports an <httpRuntime> element under the system.web section -- specifically something like this
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10000" />
will establish a max file upload size of 10,000 Kilobytes. You can set this more broadly in your machine.config, too.
Oh, yeah, Admin and Developer alike might find SAM's Windows Server 2003 Delta guide useful. Amazon it here. If my word isn't good enough, both Rob Spitzer (local Admin extraordinaire) and Darrell Norton (local Developer extraordinaire) highly recommend it too!
Happy .Netting
