Change WebOrb default port from 2037 to what you want

Hi, in case you are new here...
You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
If you find a post useful, please drop me a comment, I'd love to hear what you think, Also, you can drop me a line on Twitter.

Enjoy!

I have been using WebOrb for almost a year now, sometimes it's a great experience, sometimes less (like any other product I have ever used).

I have been running production machines for a client, this client request to test the WebOrb service on another port other then 2037 (default).

It's actually quite simple to create, but not intuitive.

if you are using WebOrb from the command line, you have a setting called "port". all you have to do is run the command with the port param and everything will work great.

like so:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\weborb30\weborbee.exe -port 1935

jQuery and UpdatePanels (Asp.Net)

Well, I love using jQuery.

I think this open-source js library is simply the best when you want to create a more rich user experience in your websites and applications.

Some will argue mootools is better but hey, this is a long and exausting battle, almost like the one between PHP and ASP.net

This post comes to explain the difficulties when using jQuery dom event like "click" and "change" with an update panel.

Source Code: Credit card number validation (Israeli Visa)

Sometimes, you need more then the simple straight forward validation of a credit card number.

Usually, it's enough, yet sometimes a client demand or a product demand is to create a more sophisticated validation, using known credit card algorithm the CreditCard company issues from time to time.

I had just that need a while back.

So, I created the validation and I decided to share it with you here.

The .net myth balloon exploding

bursting the .net rumors bubbleIf you are reader s of this blog occasionally or if you are subscribers to my Rss you probably know that I do alot of .net coding side-by-side with other technologies both on server side and on client side.

Also, you probably know that I do love to code .net and create amazing application with these technologies and frameworks ms are putting out into the market for years now.

Frankly, I've seen the myth's about .net being written about, talked about and the buzz is out there. .net is being trashed talked at about every open source community out there. recently I started coding with Ruby On Rails and I was absolutely shocked by the myth's that are going on in that online community of developers.

So, in this post I will take each point and act as a myth buster :-) it's going to be interesting...

IsDBNull generic shortcut function

question-markHi All,

If you're working with data from Sql database or from any other database for that matter you probably know the exception cause by calling the reader["columnName"]

This exception is exceptionally annoying because you cannot predict when it is going to happen, it depends on data from the database and can throw the exception at any time.

So, while working on a code that's not mine, as you know I'm a consultant so I work on other peoples code most of the time.
