The bandwidth costs of a Ajax chat room Technical Article - I'm just putting the finishing touches to my Ajax powered chat room application (see Chat Rooms link in the About section, bottom left).

Go to Blog >>

Technical Article - Someone asked me about the page execution time shown at the bottom of this (and every) page. So I thought I would post an article on how to incorporate a page execution timer in your own ASP.NET pages. It’s fairly simple but requires an understanding of the ASP.NET page life cycle.

Result of Stored Procedure using output params and a recordset Technical Article - Just had a frustrating past few hours with Stored Procedures in SQL Server 2005 and ASP.NET.

I found a solution so thought I better post it here to help others, and in case I forget. (Dominic Pettifer)

These dominoes are getting bigger and bigger every year Personal Blog - Welcome to my new blogging website. I built this site because I thought it was about time I started my own blog. I always have something I want to rant or rave about but no platform on which to say it, well not counting forums and message boards on the internet. But now I have this blog, and, well, everyone seems to have a blog these days, and I started to feel a bit left out. (Dominic Pettifer)
