Iterate asp.net form validators client side

Canada 2008

I've been working on moving a few of my websites to the Graffiti platform for a little while.

Licensing component/library for dotnet

I've been quite busy with Property Center updates, another project that isn't quite mature enough to be introduced, and consulting . The unfortunate side effect of that is that my blog writing suffers. I have a question for you, though. I am looking for a good .net licensing component. If possible, I...

How to enable pretty urls with Asp.Net MVC and IIS6
