Work With Relative Paths

I was reviewing some ASP.NET 1.1 code last night using Visual Studio 2005, making use of the Code Analysis (fxCop) tools that are built in.

I noticed some of the .aspx pages had hyperlinks with a leading tilde (~), which I’d never noticed before.

Turns out, this make the link relative to the application root, which is something that I suspect I could have made use of before now.

While not documented for 1.1, it is in the ASP.NET 2.0 documentation now, as well as referenced in quite a few articles on the web.

Ready Launch

Microsoft have opened registration for the full-day Launch events for Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005

I’ll be going to the Sydney event, so it will be interesting to see how that compares to the Adelaide ones i normally attend.

Note, these are different to the community launches that are also happening around the place.

CLVY Planned!

Happened to browse the Internode ADSL2+ coverage table, not expecting too much, but hang on a tick, that would be my local exchange listed!

So sometime next year, we might be moving up in the world.

I’ll stick with my trusty Billion 711CE for the meantime, but at some stage I might invest in a nice new ADSL2+ device, maybe with one of those new-fangled wireless doo-hickies, and throw in a central splitter to boot :-)
